OLD MAIDISM
NO REPROACH
Spinsterhood In These Days Has
Come to Be a Badge Of Honor.
Why Stigma Has Passed From
the Term "Old Maid"

VIZ Il is not so long ago that the term
"old maid was regarded as a
sort of reprOach. Not so today.
The expression has almost drop
ped out of the vernacular, and when
1t is spoken it means nothing to be
dreaded and carries no sting with 1t.
In the days of our grandmothers
spinsterhood was always classed
among the awful possibilities. and it
was the purpose OF every girls best
endeavor to steer clear of it. Early
marriages were the rule, and the wo-
man who elected to live the single life
was comparatively rare.
There are several reasons why the
old time matrimonial limit has been
extended. The most potent of these is
the development of the business and
self supporting woman. The college
bred woman is another obstacle in
the way of early matrimony. She
does not in most cases succeed in get
ting her diploma until she is in her
twenties, and should she go in for
postgraduate honors she will not be
ready to settle down until the quar-
ter of a century mark is reached. The
cost of living is playing its part in
the prolongation of single blessedness.
and the fact that the old ideals of sim
plicity in the home life are no more
is also to be taken into considera-
ton.
SO the stigma has passed from the
phrase "old maid" AS an independ-
ent factor in our present social scheme
she is indispensable and fits in every
where most admirably. The time is
actually come when we should find 1t
embarrassing to do without her.
It is wonderful, too. how well these
sbachelor maids" succeed in preserv-
ing their good looks and womanly
charm. The old fashioned dogma that
business knowledge or a too compre-
hensive education units q woman for
living the life for which she was ere
ated is as dead as doornail.
Aside from the merely material pos
sibilities of a trade or profession, the
woman SO trained makes better wife
and mother There are those who will
carp ut this, but as proposition II
will stand. 1t requires no new argu.
ment to prove that the married woman
who has the broader outlook which
comes from a business life is better
qualified to understand her husband
and to counsel him and sympathize
with him in his plans to succeed in
the battle with the world. She will be
able to administer her household af.
fairs IN accordance with business prin.

ONE YEAR IN OFFICE.
President Taft has been one year in
I .iAI Z; L. ..an.Io

President Taft has been one year in
office, and what is his record?
Has he disappointed his friends?
Has he carried into execution the pro-
gramtne he had outlined for himself?
President Taft is, as the saying runs,
well meaning man, man full of good
intentions and of honest purposes, but
has he not been misled by the men who
are pretending to be his friends?
In the one year of his tenure of of
flee as President there has been aroused
considerable discomfort and dissatisfac-
ton among the leaders of his party and
there is revolt of His friends who may
yet be placated, but there is certainly a
we'll defined discord resulting from the
efforts of promises unfulflled.
And as to the country at large, what
is the situation? What is the feeling Of
the masses?
The few, already strong, the special
interests whose greed is limitless, ap.
parently are dominating the go vern-
ment, while strife is abroad in the land
and the cry of discomfort is heard from
every side.
Under the system of protective tar
if, it is scarcely possible for working
man or for the man who earns fairly
good salary to subsst since the price Of
the necessaries of fife has been ad
vanced beyond his reach,
How long can this strain be main
tanned without some rupture which may
lead to the most terrific consequences!
| Who is to be held accountable for such
conditions?
| Is not the answer plain?
And is not the relief needed equally
plain?

THE GAME COMMISSION.

The Caucasian has noted with salts
faction that Hon. L. Z. Thomas, a rep
resentative in the Legislature from the
Parish of Caddo, has announced his in
tention to have repealed the law through
which the Game Commission was Gre
ated.
AS it is, the Game Commission has
failed in its anticipated fulfllment in
protecting game and fish. It has devel-
oped into delusion, in 50 far as it has
been applied and enforced.
Instead of protecting game and fish,
as generally understood, the Commits
sion. through its power, has grown into
a political machine which should be and
must be smashed and destroyed com
pletely.
There is need in the State of the full
est protection to game and fish, but this
must be secured without connection OF
reference to political advantages AMI
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of men.
The complaints and the protests from
every section of the State against the
law, as it has been applied, is sufficient
to condemn it, and therefore the demand
in plain words is that the Game Com.
mission must be abolished. The repeal
Of the law creating the Commission will
be esteemed as a special favor by al
classes of the people having no persona
interest in or connection with the mer
of this Commission.
