The Stone Age Theory Of Woman.

A great deal too much fuss is being
made over the declaration by Colorado
minister that all unmarried women should
be sent TO an island in order not to hinder
the progress OF civilization. Such an alb
surdity should be allowed to pass with
out serious notice as merely bit Of mid
summer Numbering not worthy of dis
cussion. II every such silly suggestion
were rated as a real contribution to pub
lie thought the air would be necessarily
filled with the vibrations OF controversy.
seriously distracting from the real issues
Of life. 1t is surprising to find such SEN
sible and busy women Miss Helen
Gould and Miss Jane Adams pausing In
their really invaluable work to pay heed
TO stupid an opinion.
Some Of the worlds best work is being
done today by unmarried women. and be-
ing done quietly and to the permanent
oetterment Of humanity. Matrmony is
not now regarded as the Inevitable and
essential goal Of womanhood. The "old
maid Is no longer considered as sad
and cheated creature whose opportunities
have passed and who remains cumberer
of the earth. giving little or nothing to
society in return for her existence. Some
of the most beautiful sacrifices ever
written In the records Of the human fam
lily are to the credit Of women who have
remained single throughout their lives in
order, perhaps, to devote themselves to
the care and comfort and happiness of
others. In these days of intelligent, pro-
gressive social endeavor for the ameliora-
ton of human Ills women are finding
their chances to be useful in a degree
perhaps even greater than that afforded
to many wife and mother.
The "emancipated woman" is not neces-
sariiy protagOnist Of anti-matrimony.
Many a good wife and good mother is
working valuably for the solution of
problems affecting society. and without in
the least depriv:ng her family of her aid
and comfort and presence and affection.
This whole matter is largely one Of ad-
justment and an intelligent use Of the
gifts OF nature. Certain prejudices per-
sist despite modern enlightenment, and
the man who breaches the doctrine that
matrinony Is the sole test OF a womans
usefulness in the world appears as one
who has entirely failed to appreciate the
difference between the civilization Of to-
day and that of the stone age, when the
approved method OF acquiring a wife was
TO crack her over the head to produce
unconsciOusness and permit her easy re-
where she might recover her wits at
leisure and remain forever the willing
slave of her lord and master.

The Inventor.

The poets who sang with words so rare
Are the poets OF long ago;
No more does the world have a tender
care
For fancy in metric flow.
The poet OF now has an arm full strong,
And the rhythms that best reveal
The soul that inspires his staIwart song
Are the taps Of the whirling wheel
He sets the city ablaze by night
And we ride like the wind with him.
Or speed with the clouds in lofty fight,
Or explore the ocean grim.
His Inspiration is everywhere
And his brain builds the world anew,
For he is the poet Of skill most rare,
The dreamer whose dreams come true.

Macedonia and Albania against the OTTO

In the commencement of 1912 notable
Albanians declared that they no
longer wished to hear of political parties
nor of deputies in parliament, nor OF
Constantinople, nor the committee OF
union and progress OF which they had
had more than enough. Albanlans would
aostain from taking part in the elections.
They said TO the Turks. Tine routes that
you are making Ia our country are not
are constructed above all as strategic
routes. You are dominated by the idea
OF holding bania by force.
In brief, convinced that the Turkish
government is incapable of keeping its
promises. the Albanlans have resolved 10
take their affairs IN their own hands.
