i | UNMERCIEUL LASHING. Xanthippe, Socrates and Other | Bad’ Men. Women's Failings Dissected and Possi- bly Magnified—The Old Story ot Socrates and Xanthippe. Wannie B. Merrill in New York Graphic correspondent matter of A good natured writes to set us right in the Xanthippe the Graphic a couple of wecks or so ago. The thus: “The girl Xanthippe in a her and Socrates, noted correction runs graduate who defended graduating essay victured as a comely maiden wedded to a dusty, fusty old peda- gogue who would rather sit up all aight with an argument than respond to a summons to dinner. She was neat, he unkempt and untidy, and turther thought it right Xanthippe should pour the pail of Gul graduates in to ancient history He, Socrates, and proper water on his head. should reler ag and be more correct. *who other men as far outshone as meaner stars the midday sun,’ was not unkempt or untidy, but rather the gay Lothario who had expended $10,000 on Lalo, a rotorious woman of Athens. Moreover, if Nanthippe had merely poured a pail ot clean water over his head she would have received the plaudits of all Athen- tans, but it was the unpleasant char acter of the douche which has made her name a reproach.”” We Mr. ior the correction, as far as it bistorically. But as an argument for Socrates or one adverse to Xanthippe Man, goes re much obliged, fruitless. the at 1s quite by the case The man who moon gazes all the time is calm eyes of the femininity is worse than it was before. bad enough and the man who gazes femimineward all the time is no better; but the man who keeps an rye on beaven and the other on his oeighbor’s wite is in the worst of all possible ways. fle as not) worth weeping for, that is sure, but neither « he worth letting go. It’s the old sory of the cat and the mouse. Pos- sibly very poor foods but legitimate prey all the same! Sometimes I feel as af I hated men; as it [had no respect tor them; as if I never could have a admiration for them Why? so hke big bags of wool. gest of them, the manliest the loveliest them, thought tor years of nothing more selfish than the comfort and happi gess ot ther ‘twomen folks,’’ will stand up day after day to be batted and cuffed, metaphoricaliy speaking, by those they seek to protect. I think if I were a man and my mother or my wife went smiieking about the country demanding “ther rights’’ and accusing men im general and those she knows personally ““brutes,’’ *‘tyrants’’ wnfeeling wretches.”” Simply because they act The big ot them, of who have of being and “yreat, I'd either put ber in a madhouse or I'd give her a good taste ot every day lite with a man who tried his best to be the “brute”? and the “tyrant” and the “wretch” she always call him. Chivalry and galiantry and all those virtues delightful possessions, but they are to some women exactly the same that pearls are to certain a are good men and there are bad men. Ststers mine, did you mever reflect that there were good women and bad women? eever think what things could aay about us if they really set to work to be as brutally truthful as they knew how? Did you never think of the many, many phases of snan hte that would show up certain ehases ot woman lite in no credit- able ight? Did you never think ot the wholesale statement that there are three bad men toone bad woman and note the only possible conclusion ~-that one woman must have been concerned in the depravity ot at least three men? Did you never read the Woman's Journal, for instance, with its load of wrongs and general oppression, acd not think with a shudder of the batetul, baleful, dreadful things that could be put in print if the entire male population of North America Did you men in} |! and great Britain turned themselves | out every Saturday on the | awl sins and wickedness and moral de vianows of women? It may be disloyalty to my sex to confess it, } but IT am sure that things wouid see | hght that would put in the shade the | fact that some John way out in Ore- gon made his wite go without a - had a horse clothes wringer while ne had a horse | | feeling ot rake. | In all sober earnestness, 1 say, women, think of it!

Think how we'd lke to read of the Delilahs and the Mrs. Potiphars that ot wait in modern lite on the steps every young man with an ounce of | brains anda pot of money. Think how we'd like to see in cold print the story of every mother who tor- | got her child, of every wite who} dishonorea her husband, of every | girl who turned her back on teachings and love ot her Would they look well, do you think? Would were fulfilling seck eternally such information and spread it broadcast? Would plain English, think they might be in better business? that men to you think a noble mission you not, im! I am sure no woman will give this point of view even a moment's thought without seeing at least something which is worthy of her consideration. The Woman’s Journa! does not go into the man question by any means as deeply as I have suggested the other side, but there is a most unhappy tendency toward unfairness | and an ilogicainess which Is EXC ingly feminine. There is mo could be detected; the tongue clung | to the of her mouth and her torm vrew cold, and the physician | informed \ and family | that she was dead. he physician | that—a distinct disregard ot some ot | ay a final test proposed a hypoder | mic mjection of about ten dros of | |} nitro-glycerine. In a moment the} heart fluttered. the blood began to | move slowly, and at the end of aj the very principles which they pro- claim to advance. For instance, good women often quote: “Little children, loye one another.’’ The usual feminine trans lation of this is (thought or spoken) “Little man child, tove that woman child! No matter if she kicks, and scratches, and bites No matter it] she screamsand calls you bad names! No matter if she never was nice ¢ | } souin ber inte, I tell you You are only a man child: she is a| woman child. Love her! ‘I | trousers may be those of an earthly | saint; the petticoats may be edged | with the frills of the depraved ; they | may be heayy with the dust of the moral desert. ean . The pettic sats must be loved. Love her!"’ If I werg aman I'd see them—vote first. And that’s another point! What mortal good is it going to do women to rush around with men at and on caucuses voting days, polling her printed preferences as to whether James Flynn or Patrick Murphy shall have the office of street sweeper for the next three years? | admit that sensible women have a mght to a certain of dictation in school matters, and I have the great ' est sympathy for the who seek to do everything in their power to kill the traffic—but ail the same, I think when amount good women liquor woman attempts to enter the surf of general | politics she will be far better off it She will hang her ck mia hickory hmb and not go near the water! I have no contempt tor the earmest Woman who seeks by her litle gill ot ammonia and borax to muke clean all the political nen ot her neighborhood, but from the very bottom ot my soul I pity her for her misleading innocence. 1 Tu the first place, it women got the ballot how long do you suppose j they would remain a power in any | serious matter? Not fitteen minutes | after some big heeler from the Cove said, **Turn ’em out.’ There would be avery tew clicks of the mighty party machine; there would be the ting of a heap of ready gold: there would be a masculine grin and a female tear! It would be a sharp struggle, but it would soon be over. Big bad men and big bad men’s money would wipe out all the graces and virtues they could bring to bear as easily as each could pick up and shake the other. Now, does this sound like ranting disrespect tor my sex, I wonder?
