One or two mo:e pushes and
Father will be pr tically off t
ma° A pair of Chicago be; s v
ne»er knew what time it v. at ex

"keepinj company" with two sis
ters. Father was oft n obi . ed to
go downstairs a:.d s rt tae young
men home in order '-o get his r ...t
lar sleep. Moral suasion having
railed, on© night he threw these
youn : men out of the house with
great force, and a police ju zc I'i*
ed him ?10 for assault. It is a
question, now, whether he w ill I t
the gaa bill run up or pay the mon
ty Into police court every month. "
If this is good law, if Father i;.s
no right to regula'e his household,
♦ he alleged head cf the family is in
a. blind alley, with Lis hack to t >?
fci'H, and it is c.i'y a question of
♦imc when he wfll lg erased from
the laudscaxie.
Look where they have chased
Father if matters get too warm for
hiiu at home and lie walks out to
t po.'-ce he can ho jailed for de
S Ttion, and if he at ys aud gets out
of work he can be jailed for non
support; if he is jailed lie goes to
nor1* iu the lazy husband, utockade
aud mother and the girts get his
earnings, if he e'ects to be pa
tie.n. and submissive, and works to
suipert his family, he te haled into
police court aud fined when he
seeks to protect h's gas bill. If he
dies from all this the police of
