Show PRIVILEGES OF A HUSBAND. Well Defined by Supremo Court cf Minnesota. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has decided that man has a right to beat his wife, in moderation, If ha has "good reason to believe that she has been unfaithful." He needn't know It, you know, so long as he believes it, with good reason. If he finds subsequently subse-quently that he was mistaken, and that his reason, while good, was not all sufficing, he is expected to apologize apolo-gize like a gentleman. The 'court does not say this, but it doubtless assumes as-sumes that a gentleman would apologize apolo-gize for causing unnecessary pain and mortification. Should he not apologize apolo-gize the lady is fairly entitled to a complaint of cruelty, leading up to a possible action for divorce. These judicial ju-dicial utterances make the law very plain in Minnesota, and smooth the way to complete understanding of marital duties. Roswell Field In Chicago Chi-cago Evening Post. |
