about mutual regard and absolute equal

' the woman was not prepared to honor
and obey her husband she ought not to
have married him.
This baa a mediaeval sound to
Americans. . A Louisiana Judge did

aa a matter of fact, whatever the
Judges bold, everybody knows that
the wife's submission and obedience
In all matters to her huBband are
long ago "played out" In practice,' In
this country. This British Judge
says that unless the wife yields in all
cases "there will bo 'trouble"; but
any American can te".l him that In a
majority of cases of domestic differ

worse trouble if the husband at

multitude ot routine domestic mat
ters he and his wife are regarded as
equals and partners, and he has no
more authority in her sphere of ac
tion than she has In his. And this,
rather than "the Old Testament ol
der," Is the natural and proper re
lation. The absolute- and arbitrary
subjection of women to the will of
men, however base or cruel, was only
a piece of ancient tyranny, and there
Is no more reason for adopting it
now because It Is narrated In the Old

This is but a brief summary of the

have been thought extremely radical
provisions of this new law. It
marks a distinct advance in legisla

in the eastern part of the country.

In view of these conditions, whether

$178,000,000 in value against $57,000,000
