WOMAN'S RIGHTS
T!ij delegates to the Republican
ecu volition have cerrtainly added a
very important and progressive
plank ia their platform when they
pledged themselves to work for
and support the seventh, section of
the platform as prepared and
adopted at the convention.
Community Property
Tli» seventh section reads, "We
shall work for the community* pro
J1Y7 rights of women." In a pro
gressive section wheTe woman is
supposed to hold her own withl man
an' where h€T rights are recognized
ether tlian that of the mere house
hold drudge, snch legislation is
:Umos* essential to present her
with her true and fitting status.
Certainly the womau is just as
responsible for the success of a
man in the business world as the
man is himself. The.-e are very few
suec:e.ssrul men, in fact, who do not
a»tribute their successes to the ia
1'.uer.ee o* the wife. If then she
is his co-partner in this game of
life—why then should she not be
recognize by the laws of this ter
ritory i-.s being entitled to one half
the property gained during cover
ture. To grant her less is not rec
ognizing her and placing her on a
par w'th the man in the legal
world. No man, of this modern
age, will deny that the woman is
eutitU-i to full privileges along
wjth »h- man. Sho is not allowed
the use of her just earnings dur
ing coverture by tli? laws that are
now in existence. H^r fullest privl
li^ge is an estate by the dower.
Dower Estate
Section 462 of the Session laws
lay down the law that "The wid
ow of every deceased person, shall
be en: tied to dower, or the USE
d urine her natural life of one third
part in value o' all the lands wheie
of her husband died siezed of an
estate of inheritance." This
means that the wife gets only
one third of the earthly accumula
tion that she has been directly
respot.iive for obtaining. Upon
her death it descent's to the heirs
of tho husband. She has no
control e ver i*. Such a law should
be relagated to tho ash heap with
thousands of other laws which have
long zso been buried beneath legal
detrris. Estates by dower and
curtesy are not in keeping with
this modern age of advancing de
velopment. If nothing else was
accomplished by the republican par
ty this cue plank would be worthy
o' support by all the voters of the
realm, because it recognizes *he
rights cl a personage that has long
Lee.i t rumpled upon.
The Democratic delegates would
do well to add the bame plank to
th 'r platform. Both parties are
repress nting themselves to be im
bibed with a spirit of progression
and as wanting to get away from
the iron hand of extreme con
servatism. Hera will be their
chance to prove to the voters of
this community that their represen
tations ring troe. Womanhood is
not ouiy deserving of this right
fcu\ if not granted *o her, it should
be demanded.

MISTAKES.
While man lives mistakes will
be made, and they should teach
us wisdom. When you make a
mistake don't look back at it
long. Take the reason of the
thing into your own mind and
then look forward. Mistakes
are lemons of wisdom. The past
cannot be changed. The future
is yet in your power.
