These, are a man's views of the case. It is also Now, mark yon, I am not attacking husbande or men as a sex herein; on tho contrary. I am to be noted that the only entirely new notion that only going to call upon the immense majority the voting women of New Zealand have brought of fair-minded M.,-£ rove their foirnes forward up to now is the same. They have the ay
their conduct, to r that the laws and franchise on equal terms with themen-married customs of the day ou of a diferent and single women alike. Here, then, is a chance to sen where the shoe of social arrangements meanness and in. stun to Lahave justice; and then I satitipate as a certain pinchos its female wearers, and it is soon to be at- result that the right-winded desirous as I am myself of majority will be as this point. The "Coaucil of Women of New a.fairer state Zealand has formulated a bill (not got it passed, howover) called “An Act to Abolish Covertur of things established. If one had not faith in the excellent hearts and the genuine, conscious and to Equalise the Economic Relations of

It is the hope of finding sympathy, and some day aid in putting matters ou a better footing, that makes it worth while to print out all that is wrong in the presont. So I export the full and free agreement of all the good men who treat their owa wives fairly, when I say that two things are wanted in ulteration of the present position of wives in this country; namely--
Number one:
That a wife should have a right to certain income to spend as she likes savs if she prefere, in return for the work of home-making and lifelong co-operation in family life with her husband.
to
Number two: That a man should not be at liberty to bequeath all his money away from his wife, learing her destitute in her old age, after her whole prime has been spent in work in his Leasehold,
I am almost afraid to tell you what this bill has the audacity to ask; it goes beyond what I should dare toy tangust. However, not fate ceive you, and to allow you to see the dreadful consequeness that may follow for giving women the suffrage, I will mention the truth. These women actually demand that half the earnings of a man shall be held in law to belong to his wife-but that xhe as well as he shall be liable before the law to appropriate her half-share in those earnings to the support of household and children. They wish the law to say aleo that the earnings of wife and husband, or any pro- perty that they may either of them possess. shall form one oumou fund, of which tuch shall be entitled to half, but which is to be "appropriated to the maintenance of their household and the education and outfit in life The wife shall be entitled, of their children."
if she sees proper to do so, to require one-half
I say that I expect fair-minded men to agree of such wages or earnings to be paid to heruff, with me that a wife, has as much right to these, or to her credit at a bank, and the same shall provisions as a man lus to his salary or wages, be regarded as her separate wages or earnings, because all such fair-thinking men do in prac to be applied. however, equally with the hus tice render those rights to their wives. It is band's share to the support of the household."
should not for a zaoment ventries on Now, tras they do generally talk of it as "giving" their wives money. It is not so, in fact, you this extreme metsare. I would only venture to know, any more than the husband's own em- suggest that a mean selfish run, one who finds ployer gives him his salary or wages. The it quits convenient to lavish on his own soitish good wife earns what she receives, as much as her husband has done. Even if the circum- stances be so comfortable that the wife has no occasion to do much bandiwork in her home- if a good cook prevents her from feeling the neccssity of sharing in the cooking, a competent. surse or two relieves her not only from the constant care of the children, but also from mending and anaking for them-still she bas done, in directing her house and social duties, the work that is required from her in the part nership of her well-to-do marriage, and her on- tire time and powers.
