The Modern Woman (Comtinned from second preceding page) court to decide whether or not women were “people.” Politics never made stranger bed- fellows than this special news combination. Is Man An Ostrich? a wife reduces a plastic! husband to the us of a domestic drudge; if the worm turns and ta his troubles to the mu- nicipal court, should he be snubbed and ordered to pay alimony or go back to the washboard, and ironing board, and baby tending in a home in which a beefsteak is a promise more honored in the breach than in the observan Any true feminist will say emphatically “no!” Alimony is tribute paid by a wilfully absent husband to an institution built on the theory that the man pays and the woman runs the plant, a partnership in which the man furnishes the money and the woman the meals and the babies. But when in the course of domestic events force of character proves a dominant in- herited trait in the woman and a recessive one in the man; when the wife loads onto a cowed husband her burdens on top of his own, is he not entitled to the backing of the municipal court? Ought he not to find the same moral support that is so freely accorded both to deserving and undeserving wives of alcoholic and pugilistic overlords? He should. And for a judge to condemn him unjustly to the alimonious ward is a poor way to court the support of seekers after political equality. More than that, it isto set back the clock of evolution. The male ostrich, so we are told, both sits on the eggs and acts as nursery governess to the little ostriches, while ma roams a world in which rights are not correlated with duties. For a judge to decree, as a judge prac- tically did, “Alimony or the Washtub,” is to brand a man as no better than an ostrich Let no one marvel then if, when he is called upon to protect his country, like the ostrich, he sticks his head in the sand at the sight of the enemy. Call Us Anything You Like TO a world in which suffrage triumphs were falling over each other; where the suffrage press, which had been organized to convert the people to democracy, had become merely a recorder of suffrage vic- tories: into this world came the news that the Massachusetts Supreme Court had decided that women were not “pcople.” In carlier days the suffs would have dropped everything and have brought out their heaviest artillery to make good their claim to peoplehood. But in these days they only laughed and when the reporters came around to cull choice expressions of resentment the suffs only said: “What do we care what they call us? We are not after titles, but self government and we are getting it, aren’t we?" A sense of humor may have been indige- nous in Massachusetts, but it must have gone west with Horace Greeley’s young man.
