actually prepared for submission to the LiLI liei legislature slature signed by many of the best married wo men n in the state which in substance declares that the law which now governs society says practically that women should be married should e engage in work at their houes homes and should look took to their husbands for support but bat the census shows that it is impossible to carry but this unwritten but recognized law that prejudice and custom custo in have decided in favor of restricting the husband to a single wife yet without justice or authority as the petitioners petition ers believe that in the book which lies iles at the foundation of all law there is no injunction against a plurality of wives that the law against the marriage of a man to more than one wife in cases where the wife does not object and it la Is evident that the man is ig able to support two wives should be abolished this is a singular petition to com from woman in any state but oue one in which religion has educated the sexto sex to believe bellere in the divine origin 0 ri 01 of the doctrine of polygamy now it la I q a question it the social law has a right to forbid a woman to become a mother without marriage unless it renders marriage possible it is denying the woman the most sacred privilege of her existence the law which presumes to regulate the conduct ot of individuals becomes responsible not tor for their happiness but for pos possibility sIbil ity of happl happiness ness sor for the thet chief elements of happiness thus a law that forbids a man or a woman to become a parent without marriage should make marriage possible to every man or woman not incapacitated by nature where there are more women than men or more men than women a mono gamio marriage for tor all Is of course an impossibility thus it will be seen that the gommon common if not indeed uniform conclusion is that a woman wo manbas has bas an inalienable right to have children of bf her own and the law and society ought ough t to liow allow it but bui the grand and problem is how is this do devoutly autly outly wished consummation to be brought about honorably and yet nob odys musty traditions be hurt theres the rub but the public discussion of this subject shows that the world moves if slowly one thing is very remarkable few persons aro are willing to subscribe to the petition of the
