Mere Creature of Man.

The theory that woman was the
mere creature Of man survived
until the time of David. When
David saw Bathsheba washing her
self on the housetop and sent for
her, she went to him without any
sense of q moral right to resist.
When she was found to be with
child David's only thought was Of
the wrong he had done to Uriah
and the penalty he might have to
pay for It. When he sent Uriah to
his death he was still thinking Of
avoiding that penalty and Of pos
sessing himself Of Uriah's wife.
And when Uriah had fallen In
the battle and Nathan the prophet
came to accuse the king Of his
transgression by telling the parable
of the rich man with many flocks
and herds and the poor man with
only one eve lamb. the man Of God
himself was thinking only Of
David's sin against Bathsheba's
husband. Not q thought about the
sin against Bathsheba herself.
>She had been torn from the hus-
band she loved and mourned for
when he died by treachery. but
nobody remembered that the first
and greatest wrong had been done
to her. She did not remember It
herself.
she acquiesced in the theory Of
her age and race that woman was
q creature without moral responsi.
bility Of her own. whose virtues
were her fathers or husbands
virtues, and whose sins were theirs
also, and therefore they acquitted
her. The laws of Moses are full
Of this acquittal Of woman. and
that seems to me to be the best
they do for her.

Elections Fail to Reveal
Her Using Newly Ac-
quired Powers.
By SIR HALL CAME.
LONDON, Dec. o.

uYoMAN u still the dark
" horse. The recent British
~ general election, which
was to have revealed her soul,
revealed nothing. The poll was
heavier by the number Of her new
vote, but It would be impossible
for the. wisest Solomon among
the sons of men to say on which
side the body Of her strength
was cast.
The Tory party was the his
toric enemy Of her emancipation,
yet 1t was returned to power.
The Labor party was born In
feminism and established on the
equal rights Of the sexes, yet 1t
stands second.
The Liberal parties, which
passed the Law which gave her
freedom, is, In the balance Of
power, hardly anywhere at all.
Woman had candidates Of her
own sex to concentrate upon, but
she returned only two. Many Of
the strongest champions Of her
claims to equal rights with men
are out, while many Of the Bit
terest opponents Of them are In.
What was woman doing at the
recent elections? Was she re-
nouncing all right to be reckoned
with as q separate soul differing
from man in her relations to the
state?
II l am asked to answer this
searching question, will do 50
with deep sympathy for the posi-
ton of woman In the scheme Of
the human family, but with COM
plete frankness. Woman rs .
subject of the stste is still fast
asleep.
She has been asleep for six thou
sand years and win remain SO until
some great voice awakens her.
Meantime she has sometimes STUN
bled about like q sleep-walker.
made perilous steps and fallen into
terrible pitfalls.
Tradition. which calls itself his
tory, talks of q time when woman
was "the top dog" In the human
family. as the queen bee IL in the
hive. I do not believe there ever
was such a time or that there ever
will be. The laws Of male and fe-
male nature mako It impossible.
The utmost that woman in her nat
ural condition can ever hope for Ii
to be mans equal, mans counter
part, the half Of the whole.
But this she has never been
down to the present day. and hence
the long line Of ubiquitous Unequal
tiles from which she suffers under
law and custom.
Let me run hastily through the
story of woman's inequality an We
see 1t In the Bible, leaving all other
and perhaps earlier records to less
popular discussion.
