St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1916-05-06
DIR. MERRICK w. SWORDS

The st. Landry Clarion has always tried to
be fair with its political opponents, giving the
hardest knocks it knew how, but never strik-
ing below the belt.
Its opposition to Sheriff Swords was based
on good and sufficient grounds, those grounds
still remain and preclude the remotest possible
ty Of any bridging of the wide chasm between
the sheriif's and this office, but this antagonism
does not include the members Of his family,
for whom the Clarion entertains the kindest
Of feelings; it therefore is pleased to endorse
the candidacy Of DR.. Merrick w. Swords for
the position Of the presidency Of the state
board Of health, perhaps the most important
appointment in the gift of the governor.
And this endorsement is not based on any
antagonism to the present incumbent, who al
though he entered on the duties of his high
Office, without any special experience and with
no reputation as a sanitarian, has certainly
made good and gained national fame, by reason
of his early adoption of the principle of the
hygienic education Of the masses, as the key
note To his policy and by virtue Of his adj
nils - 011iity 1nu GVuGllIuOuS dCtIfltlGS.&
The Clarion, however, is a believer in the
good old democratic doctrine Of rotation III
office, except in exceptional cases, where it is
difficult to replace or where political consider
atoms make it necessary to preserve the solid
arity Of q political organization. This does not
hold IN the present instance by reason OF the
TACT that DR.. Swords is entirely competent to
I'LL the position, being backed by many Of the
ablest OF the medical men in the state who are
in a better position to Judge of his qualiflca-
lions Than q iayman and the appointment would
have no political bearing on the political affairs
Of this parish.
All things being equal the Clarion will always
support a son Of 81. Landry and while the an
pointnent can in no sense be credited ID ST
L,adry, since DIR. Swords has been for some
time q resident OF New Orleans, whence his
political and professional activities rebate. il
ls pleasing to record the fact that o son OF ST.
Landry has made good away from home, DR..
swords activities in this campaign naturally call
lor recognition by the executive; he was one Of
me original Pleasant men and made an active
'anyass for him in the primary and in the fight
preceding the general election did yeoman ser
for the party.
". Swords. if appointed, will enter on his
uties with really more experience as j santa
Ian than did his predecessor; as a speaker he IS
u superior, as an administrator he is of course
Q unknown quantity, his success depending on
e men he surrounds himself with; these are
that every incoming administration
ust take, since all departments Of the state
'yernment could not depend on one man or
cup OF men fer success, as otherwise they
ould be in bad shape should any Of the old ]
ards lay down and die. J

Make Suggestions Now.

Madison Journal: During the next thirty days

for the wise ones to make suggestions for the
enactment Of laws to improve conditions in this
state. Make your suggestions before the session
Of the Legislature and do not wait until it adj
journs to complain about what 1t fails to do. We
hear so many complaints about depTofable codi-

People WIN Thoroughly Approve.

Lake Charles American-press: The people will
tflorouhly approve of the action of the E. S. u.
authorities in expelling twelve students who
seemed to be incapable of learning that college
hazing has gone out of style and belongs to a
bygone era. Getting an education is a matter
OF supreme Importance to young men now, not
merely a way Of spending ones time. The idea
that the typical college lad should be an idler
and a bully Is distinctly out Of date.

BY JANE WHITAKER

Each and every time l SIT IN court
listening to the trial of man on the
charge of being the father of an lille
Ultimate child, a trial solely for the
purpose of assessing the man what
has rightly been called "the price of
one good cigar a day" for the sup
port of the baby, marvel why it is
that in a state where women are
fighting so vigorously for better So
ciaI legislation they do not force
through the legislature a measure
that will do away with the farcical
defense that men make who are thus
charged.
The present law is, and every
other law would undoubtedly be,
solely for the support of the little
baby, already handicapped by the
stigma of being nameless. The pres
ent law allows the baby less than
One-third of what it actually would
cost to raise baby, without any
IuXUries.
It has not one thing to do with the
mother. It doesn't even relieve her
of the need of finding money some
how to make up the deficit between
the generosity of the law and the ac-
tuaI cost of baby's necessities.
Yet the baby is deprived of even
that price of a good cigar day. by
a defense that is used in nearly eight
out of every ten cases that come into
court-a defense that has been used
by men the world over, until Norway,
reaching out beyond our boosted adj
vancement, passed a law that for
ever made impossible there such a
miscarriage of justice toward a
nameless child.
That defense is the willingness of
some male person to stand beside the
man the unmarried mother charges
with being the father of her child
and brazenly, nonchalantly, declare
that he had relations with her during
the period of CESSATION; safe in the

knowledge that his claim makes 1t
impossible for a court to decide that
the man accused is the one who
should support the child.
Judge Hosea Wells, in deciding
case recently, said a few things that
found strong echo in my own mind.
ct is too bad that we haven't a
law like they have in Norway" he
declared, ga law that would divide
the amount to be paid between this
man and the man who testifies that
he, also, had relations with this girl.
ANY man who has illicit relations
with a woman knows that he is TAX
ing a chance of this kind-that he
is taking a chance of being father Of
an Legitimate child and of being
accused by the girl of being the
father, and man who takes such a
chance should pay for it.
Our law is solely for the support
of the child and cannot see any rea-
son why girl should settle upon one
man more than another unless she
feels in her heart that he is the man
responsible, for she can get the same
amount in ten years out of another
man if she thinks it is another man."
Yet in the last session of the legis-
lature, when a measure was present.
ed amending the present one slight
ly, the legislators rose up from their
seats to protest, in voices of horror,
the amending of the statute lest it
become what some of them declared
it already is-a weapon of blackmail
for an INSCRIPTIONS woman.
Isn't it laughable? For the sake
Of that price of a good cigar a day.
