Also a Review of the Rights of Children By Tennis C. Claflin Library of Congress New York; Woodhull, Claflin & Co., 44 Broad Street 1871. 09-28337 JK1901 .C7 Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1871, by Tennis C. Claflin, in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. From the Co–operative Press 30 Beekman Street, New York. INTRODUCTORY The importance which the movement for equal political and civil rights, without regard to sex, is assuming, makes it incumbent upon those who have made the subject a study to spread before the inquiring public such phases of their experience and deductions as will tend to promote accurate thought upon the subject. It does not do in these times to stifle a new evolution of civilization by treating it with contempt. There are too many intelligent, unbiased minds now existing to allow this step to be utterly ignored, as has been proposed by those who oppose it. It will be obvious to the careful reader that the series of papers which are now offered have been prepared with the view of gradually leading the mind to acknowledge that women are something more than ”things“ that they are thinking, reasoning, even accountable beings, and as capable of self–government as most men are. We feel that we are in duty bound to advocate the perfect equality of all human beings, Constitutional equality, a right of women; or, A consideration of the various relations which she sustains as a necessary part of the body of society and humanity; with her duties to herself -- together with a review of the Constitution of the United States, showing that the rights to vote is guaranteed to all citizens. Also a review of the rights of children. By Tennie C. Claflin. http://www.loc.gov/ resource/rbnawsa.n2833 which may, without assumption, be called the cause of humanity. We know there is a great amount of prejudice against women voting, in both sexes; but we also know that it is simply prejudice—the same prejudice which all new developments of thought and science are always met by—and that it only requires to be met by a persistent presentation of the realities of the questions to in time divest the people of it. Our purpose in the construction of this book, in the beginning, development and ending, will be apparent to all who peruse it entire, and we make no apology for any seeming inconsistencies or seeming change of argument. But this we will say: The basis of all true humanitarian reform—or rather growth—lies in the rdquo;coming generation.“ With the present little can be done; with the future everything. We request a thorough examination, and afterward a rigid though just judgment; and thus we commit our work to the care of the public, with whom rdquo;the right always comes uppermost“ in the end.

Claflin. http://www.loc.gov/ resource/rbnawsa.n2833 Children, their Rights, Privileges and True Relations to Society, 123 EQUALITY FOR WOMEN There seems to have been from time immemorial connected with the word “Woman,” a certain sense of servitude. Woman has always been considered something less than “Man” in many distinguishing respects. Even in infancy, before the light of intelligence sparkles in the eye, the daughter is mourned over by the fond mother, because she is not a son who may rise to honor and fame, and live long ages in the memory of the world. The facts of history, personal observation, and sad experience, perhaps, compel the mother to feel that, for her child, lying in innocent helplessness upon her breast, there is no hope in the future, other than the common fate of woman, unless, perchance, God may have bestowed upon her the germ of extraordinary beauty. With this thought startling her soul, her soul, her prayers ascend to heaven that her infant may be so endowed, and that thus, in after years, she may find favor in the eyes of some one high in authority, riches or position, and may be able to compensate him with her beauty, who should condescend to woo her. Beauty has risen from the cot to the palace; from the shepherdess to the queen. It is not to be wondered, then, that mothers pray for the bestowal of this gift in which lies their daughter’s only hope; although they remember that its possession, rich as it is in itself, appeals directly to that portion of man‘s nature which, finding expression through such appeals, has left a blight upon the very name of woman, when beauty has fled from her. It is not desired to weave around the condition of woman a veil that shall hide her true worth and nobility, nor to convey the idea that beauty, or its lacking, is the sole determining power of her destiny; but 2 it is desirable that what there is of disgrace and misfortune in her condition should be kept up to the enlightened gaze of mankind and receive its verdict of disapproval. In the tender years of childhood, and the more important ones of youth, a variety of influences govern the growth of the body and the development of the mind. The boy is educated with some distinct personal point to be gained. He is taught that if he will, he may, that he has but to make the requisite effort, and success will surely crown him. With the stimulus of future attainment constantly poured upon the growing youth, by those to whom he looks for nothing but good counsel and advice, is it to be wondered that so many born even in obscurity and extreme poverty, have become brilliant lights in the world of science, literature and government? Constitutional equality, a right of women; or, A consideration of the various relations which she sustains as a necessary part of the body of society and humanity; with her duties to herself -- together with a review of the Constitution of the United States, showing that the rights to vote is guaranteed to all citizens. Also a review of the rights of children. By Tennie C. Claflin. http://www.loc.gov/ resource/rbnawsa.n2833 As the youth approaches manhood, he is pressed into some special channel of thought and culture, for which his mind and talent seem to be inclined, and all the aid, material and intellectual, it is possible to furnish, is extended to assist and encourage. Thus strengthened and accoutered, he prepares to commence life for himself. How different is it with the girl! Is it instilled into her mind, morning, noon and night, that, by stern trial and application in any particular direction, she may attain to eminence before the world, and fill a niche in its temple of honor and fame? Is she taught to apply herself to philosophy, that by an understanding of its already known laws and principles she may discover some new light? Is it to astronomy her attention is called, that in deep research and calculation some new world may be added to our present known systems; or some law discovered that shall explain motions and influences not yet accounted for? Is she taught to dive into the bowels of the earth and bring up new treasures with which to break away the shackles of superstition, ignorance or fear, and, by chemical analysis thereof, unveil some of the hidden mysteries of association whereby

    Corporate Impersonation: The Possibilities of Personhood in American Literature, 1886-1917 by Nicolette Isabel Bruner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee Professor Gregg D. Crane, Chair Professor Susanna L. Blumenthal, University of Minnesota Professor Jonathan L. Freedman Associate Professor Scott R. Lyons “Everything…that the community chooses to regard as such can become a subject—a potential center—of rights, whether a plant or an animal, a human being or an imagined spirit; and nothing, if the community does not choose to regard it so, will become a subject of rights, whether human being or anything else.” -Alexander Nékám, 1938 © Nicolette Isabel Bruner Olson 2015 For my family – past, present, and future. ii Acknowledgements This dissertation could not have been completed without the support of my committee: Gregg Crane, Jonathan Freedman, Scott Lyons, and Susanna Blumenthal. Gregg Crane has been a constant source of advice and encouragement whose intimate knowledge of law and literature scholarship has been invaluable to my own development as a scholar. Jonathan Freedman’s class on “Fictions of Finance” inspired much of the work in this dissertation, as did Susanna Blumenthal’s seminar on “The Concept of the Person” during my time at the University of Michigan Law School. Jonathan’s good humor, grace, and sympathetic yet critical eye have profoundly shaped my work. As I have expanded my research into animal studies, Scott Lyons guided me to new intellectual domains. Finally, ever since I began working with her during my first year of law school, Susanna has been a source of wisdom, encouragement, and generosity.

  • Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range
    Illegal Fencing on the Colorado Range BY WILLIAM R. WHITE The end of the Civil War witnessed a boom in the cattle business in the western states. Because of the depletion of eastern herds during the war, a demand for cheap Texas beef in­ creased steadily during the late eighteen-sixties and the early eighteen-seventies. This beef also was in demand by those in­ dividuals who planned to take advantage of the free grass on the Great Plains, which had remained untouched prior to the war, except by the buffalo. Each year thousands of Texas cattle were driven north to stock the various ranges claimed by numerous cattlemen or would-be cattlemen. The usual practice of an aspir­ ing cattleman was to register a homestead claim along some stream where the ranch house and outbuildings were con­ structed. His cattle then were grazed chiefly upon the public lands where they "were merely on sufferance and not by right of any grant or permission from the government. " 1 The Homestead, Preemption, Timber Culture, and Desert Land acts had been enacted to enable persons to secure government land easily, but "the amount of acreage allowed was not even remotely enough to meet the needs of the western stockgrowers. " 2 Although the government land laws were not designed for cattlemen, they made extensive use of them. The statutes served the cattlemen, however, only as the cattlemen violated the spirit of the law. 3 During the sixties and the seventies cattlemen tended to respect the range claims of their neighbors and "the custom of priority-the idea of squatter sovereignty met the 1 Clifford P.

It argues that, whilst an increasingly democratised night allowed for more opportunities for previously marginalised groups, popular media of the period largely promoted adherence to the status quo. The thesis draws on extensive primary source material, including eighty British feature films and newspaper samples of the Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror to systematically analyse the representation of London’s nightlife in the British interwar period. This period saw the consolidation of the popular daily newspaper industry and, after government intervention, an expansion of the domestic film industry. The interwar period also saw great social change with universal suffrage, technological developments and an economic crisis.

The audiences were widely different in character. They included pupils of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, students in high school and normal school, teachers in the public schools, an association of business men, and a convention of boards of education.
