AN OLD MAIDS PARADISE.

Succinctly Stated the opposition TO
woman sCF.age in England is based
on the aversion Of the men of that
country t. being dominated by the
women. There are 100000 more
women Of voting age than men in
England.
Lord Northcliffe. who owns and
controls some OF the most influential
newspapers in England says so. He
hundred men in England are opposed

They won't stand for it. Their fear Of
female domination is as great as the
dread Of black domination in the
south. No self-respecting man. says
Lord Northclne. is going to be dom
mated by women.
The trouble in England. as the late
Mayor Gaynor sized it up. is that there
are not enough husbands 20 go round.
England is such a good place to leave
the young men hike for the colonies
or other parts OF the world as soon as
they arc old enough TO leave the pa
rent nest. And they never come back,

the broader, bigger life outside the
tight little isle" and refuse TO give il
up.
Consequently England has become
an old maids paradise or something
else. The girls suffer from shortage
of eligible young men. 1t is unjust,
but unavoidable. The girls cannot get
away 1t would be the irony of fate
should they acquire control of the
kingdom through the ballot. but Lord
Northclffe says they never will. Let's

4 DESIRABLE RESULT.

If it should rain every day of the
week and if no visitors should come
to see the exhibits the exposition
would be far from having been given
in vain. It's educational value to our
own people is worth all the trouble
and expense.
Public spirit is built on apprecia-
ton. Local pride is based on knowl-
edge. A community cannot be proud
of what it knows little or nothing
about. nor can it manifest public spirit
If it has no appreciation OF its re-
sources and opportunities.
South Bend people cannot view the
varied exhibit of industrial and agri-
cultural products without feeling the
stir OF local pride nor without the
feeling that here is something extra
ordinary. something the world ar
large should know about and which
should be made available TO all who
might desire it.
Behind the exhibit is the spirit of
progress and it is desirable that every
man, woman and child in South Bend
should become imbued with it. Know
ing what we have and do here
strengthens our faith in our city and
gives us more courage to recommend
il to others.
If the first fall exposition serves
this purpose it is a liberal cOmpensa-
ton for what has been done. 1t will

essary to successful competition with
