Should a wife be a ? Two Judges, one in New York, one in Brooklyn, have conferred on her that modernly significant title. “In the home the woman ought to be the boss,” decreed City Magistrate Alexander H. Geismar; while Supreme Court Justice Glegerich even more aweepingly declared, “T hehusband should know the wife must be the supreme head of the house, and that he should give her full command of everything.” Now, if. you are an Anti-Suffragist or just plein indifferent, you will say: “Aha! that’s a foretaste of what votes for women will mean. That's what those feminists want. If that Suffrage Amendment is passed next fall, the New York man won't have a chance to call his soul or his home his own.” You will jump to e: However much Mr. Henty Peck has of his own sex, he need not tremble franchise. tly that conclusion—and you will jump wrong. to fear from super-chivalrous Judges before the feminine workers for the The Suffragists are no more in favor of home rule for women than they are of outside-thehome rule for men.
