A NOVEL SUGGESTION.

SHOULD WOMEN PROPOSE? LONDON, January 18. Sir John Cockburn, lecturing before the Women’s Reform League, declared that the choice of mates should belong to women. The female always selected her mate except in the case of man. It was absolute nonsense to say that man was more courageous than woman. Girls were born in favourable seasons and hoys in times of war, famine, and adversity ; thus the wealthy families had a plethora oi heiresses and frequently no heirs, with the result that families were dying out. Sir John Cockburn, who is an M.D. of London, went out to South Australia m 1875. He took a prominent part in politics. and held various Ministerial offices in the State, including that of Premier. In 1901 he was appointed Agent-General. He has represented South Australia and the commonwealth at a number of important conferences. He is an active member of many public bodies in London. One of his offices was that of president of the Men's International Alliance for Women Suffrage.
