Nature ordained that women should
be receptive and man aggressive. II
bishops think they can change nature

don't care about theory. I speak
from what / have observed in prac-
tice. .
Thirdly, l protest "obey" having any
note of scrvility in it. A soldier who
obeys his captain, even though he has
better brains, is n better man than the
one who doesn't. Oh, yes, admit
women have more brains than men.
To repeat the analogy of the cow at
the head il the herd, if the colonel
of the regiment is dub, there's no
reason for making the top sergeant
the battalion leader.
The way to remedy matters would be
for the powers to show more care in
their election of colonies.
A woman has got to obey. She. too,
has an easy remcdy-care in the selec-
ton of husband.
Finally. I wish to say that the
question is receiving publicity entirely
out of proportion to its Importance.
