The ladies of Elton, q little town
in Calcasieu parish, have organ
lied corporation for the purpose
of erecting a building in that town
for public use and benefit of reli-
gious and charitable purposes, aud
each had to be authorized by her
husband to sign the charter. 1t
is a shame on Louisiana that the
law makes this fact necessary. The
statutes Of this state contain some
splendid provisions for the protec-
ton of women in their individual
rights aud privileges, only SO far
as they apply to a widow, but
shuts the door in the face of that
graudest of all crealions--t6e wife
aud mother. During the life Of
the husband she has nothing to
say concerning the disposition of
the property she may have helped
to accumulate. As u wife, she is a
dependant slave, and the present
law classities her as an ignorant
aud incapable object, unable to
transact any business except mind
the furniture and watch the flow
ers bloom.
This forcing the women into the
back ground of business ostracism
is rank injustice, and the men
who compose the next general as
sembly should remove the barriers
that keep her hemmed in the mar
row place of washing dishes and
sweeding dust. The lady folks
generally possess as much judg-
ment and more capacity than men
they do not spend their money for
cigars, tangle-foot aud poker chips,
and when given al opportunity,
they accumulate more than the
other sex Oh half of the income
The law should give them fair
deal, no more aud no less. Frank

Consumption of Cigarettes.
The Daily Picdyune.

Despite the Legislation adopted
in some states against the sale of
paper cigarettes and the crusade
which the medical profession has
conducted with more or less ener-
gy against the habit OF cigarette
smoking, the consumption of "cof-
fin nails" as the little substitutes
for cigars are sometimes called,
has augmented wonderfully. In
1910 a total of S,644, 557 900 cigar
cites were made aud sold in the
United States, which is equivalent
to 100 cigarettes for every man.
woman and child in the country.
The increase over the preceding
year was 1856, 4S7, 900 notwith-
standing the fact that the revenue
tax has been materially increased.
The consumption of oil forms of
tobacco has increased in this coun-
try, showing that despite higher
taxation and the efforts of moral
lists and physicians to cure the to-
bacco habit, the American people
hays become more and more ad-
dicted to tho use of the weed. The
cigarette has long been condemn
ed by many wise people as iDjnri-
Gus to the mental aud bodily
health of the users, but this con-
demnation Is not apparently based
upon sound logical grounds. Ger
lainly it has exerted to marked in.
huence on the consumption of to-
bacco in that form.
Just why tho cigarette should
be more injurious than other
farms of tobacco has never been
made clear. That tobacco used to
excess is harmful may be freely
admitted, but the excessive use of
almost any article is also injuri-
GUS. Cigarette smoking may have
a tendency to lead people to smoke
more than they would otherwise
do, owing to the relative cheapness
Of cigarettes aud the rspidity with
which they can be- consumed, but
why tobacco in one form should
DO more injurious than in another
passes comprehension.
The consumption of cigars has
also increased, as l5O,00O,0OO more
were produced in 1910 than dur
ing the preceding year, while man.
ufactured tobacco increased i'll use
to the extent of 100000 pounds,
despite the general belief that
such tabacco was less in favor than
formerly. About the only form of
tobacco which fell off in use dur
ing the past year is the tiny cigar,
or sll-tobacco cigarette, which
were, no doubt, affected unfavOra-
bly, by the increased tax. 1t is
pretty safe to assume that despite
the crusade against the cigarette
it's popularity will continue to

JOHN M'NAMARA
IS OPTIMISTIC
SAYS COPPER COUNTRY TEAM
WILL EVENTUALLY CAPTURE
HOCKEY HoNoRs OF THE
WORLD.

when we organize the Portage
Lake hockey team at the beginning of
this season, our purpose was To show
the Uni.ed States and the whole world
that the copper country can produce
players the equal of any in the United
States and Canada" said manager
MacNamara of the Amphidromc this
morning. 1--WE are firmly convinced
that we can make hockey players in
this northern country just "a little bit
better than anywhere else i'm the
world. TO make a test of this theory
Is the purpose of next Mondays game
with the crack Port Arthur team. I'm
spite of the glaring headlines in an
the papers of Canada and the United
States praising the playing of the
Canadians they are not invincible. and
before we get through with hockey I'M
the copper country we will have clean
ed up all the teams of eastern Canada
and again have the championship of
the world, but this time with purely
home grown American players"
This will be the first time" he con-
tinued, that an all-Canadian team
will play against an all-American ag-
gregation. In our former days of pro-
fessional glory, We imported Canadian
players. Since those days passed
away, we have developed our own
players and will continue TO develop
them into championship form. Every
player on the present Portage Lake [
team, Under, Haug, Trathen. Sicotte. /
Stroud. Mahan. Exley and Waara, /
were born in the copper country, or I
at least in the upper peninsula, and (
all have been raised here. Their edu- 4
cation was obtained in our schools |
and the hockey education of nearly I
all of the players began on the high 1
school teams of Houghton and Han
cock. 1t will be young America
against professional Canada and If the
test does not come off I'm our favor at
this time we will try again.
"Our purpose is not 10 capture the
of the world al the first
shot of the puck II We win the cham
pionship Of the United States this year
We will go after Canada next year and
the team that will represent the cop
per country in that struggle will be
made up of American and without
doubt all copper country players.

'em on the jump from now on"
