THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

Some people who study the ways of
the young women of to-day, feel that
every year is Leap Year now. The
old tradition held that women should
adopt an attitude of reserve, and wait
until the male sex might see lit to
offer them attention, seems to have
disappeared. The popular young men
are RESTORED with invitations from
their girl friends. Business men
complain that the time OF their male
helpers is taken up by young women
who come in to see them and call
them over the telephone.
This gives these popular boys too
lorNy and superior feeling, and leads
them to neglect good manners and
chiva1rous standards.
| Some people feel that the modern
girl is losing all sense of personal
reserve and modesty, so freely does
she scatter her embraces among all
corners.
Of course multitudes of young wo-
men have always been brought up in
La careless way, to be free with men.
Whether the prevailing standards OF
conduct have let down in the last
generation is open to question.
The girl with wit and mental ability
| is not letting herself go in this man
ner She is not satisfied to win at
ltention from anything having mascu-s
line gender, and prefers to pick and
choose. If so be that she must there
by be left behind when mating time
comes, she would rather live her own
independent career, than tie herself
to mental sluggishness for life.
The girl who holds herself in reserve
| is most attractive to men who amount
| to anything. Anything that is thrown
at their heads too cheaply seems UNI
desirable and shopworn. The bright,
clever, well educated girl Of to-day
lis wonderful product Of enlightened
personality. Amy man ought to be
proud, either of her friendship or her
deeper affection. It is not good for
him to feel that either are easily
won. It should cost him some
struggle.

THE EXCESS PROFIT TAXES.

Theoretically the excess profit taxes
collected during the war period have
been a fair way of making wealth
bear the heavy burdens of the war.
But actually taxation has way of
falling mostly upon the ultimate con-
sumner Probably the majority Of
producers have simply marked up
their prices enough to give them the
same profit they used to have before
the excess profits tax was imposed.
If this is the way it works, the ex-
cess profits tax serves no good pur-
pose. It is one more tendency work
ing for initiation and Exaggerated
prices.

negroes, dagoes, and others. But
what did Mr.. Wilson do when he was
making up his party, to represent
America in the peace conference? Did
he give each party representation :?
Did he not choose to make it q poll
tcal party victory by selecting such
men as would reflect the glories Of
victory on his own administration !?
Did he not dictate to the people of
Mississippi who they should elect to
represent them in the Senate; not
only in Mississippi, but in other
States?
The American people elected Mr..
Wilson to the second term as an en-
dorsement of his first term. And as
we have said, he has done very well,
considering what he has had to deal
with, but the Man we Worship was
nailed to the cross nearly two thou
sand years ago. We believe that there
are other people in America who are
lust as able to make good president
as Mr.. Wilson. Then again we have
plenty of men in Mississippi who are
Just as able as Mr.. Harrison or Mr..
Williams to intelligently represent the
people of our State in Congress. We
fail to see where either one of them
can justly claim the title OF hero.
Then why should we slobber over
them and lick their feet Cor doing
what we elected them to do and DONG
what they are paid to do? We fail
to see the wisdom, or even good sense
in doing so.
There are two political factions in
Mississippi, both claiming to be a
part of the Democratic party. The
two factions differ in principle to each
other as great as If they were two
separate and distinct political parties.
The present Governor Lee IA. Rus
sell in distinguishing the two factions,
calls one "The Hamiltonian" Demo
cratic party and the other faction to
which he is a party, he styles as "lhe
Jeffersonian" Democratic Party. Ac-
cording TO Governor Russell there are
two Democratic Parties in Mississippi.
This. we believe is true, and we are
Glad to claim our alliance with the
old Jefersonians, because we belleve
that they are the only true democ-
racy. They are willing to consult the
majority Of the people at all times on
all questions, and believe in the ma
jority rule.
The convention was lost to the OPP
position for the lack of organization
on our part. This should be warn
ing to us in the future and we should
profit by what has passed. Let US
get closer together. As a political
party, we should organize, now, our
selves into a political organization ana
! in the future be ready to meet all OPP
position. y
We should hold Beat meetings at
least once month and keep posted
on what is going on and what IS 70
be done. # we can ever hope to ac-
complish anything of note we VIII
have to organize and be ready to GO
our own thinking and our own vot-
ing-and we had better do this pc
fore it is cverlastingly too late. Il
we go on like we are going now and
have been for the last two or three
years, the time will come when we
can do nothing we will have no say
in anything.
Take warning.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The county convention was held IN
Oxford Saturday, and on account OF
the lack of organization the radical
faction of the democratic party, which
is largely in the minority in this coun-
ty, gained control of the political ma
chinery of the county.
They, of course, adopted resolutions
endorsing President Wilson's admin
istration, Pat Harrison and John
Sharp Williams.
The Eagle is frank to say that it
is willing and ready to endorse Presi-
dent Wilson's administration so far
as the good part of it goes, but as
whole this paper cannot subscribe to
any such. We can only endorse the
good features of the Presidents adj
ministration.
TO endorse the administration as a
whole, we would have to say it was
right and good business to buy 9oo,-
OGO saddles when we only had 39l,-
900 mules and horses.
To endorse the administration as Q
whole we would say it was good busi-
ness sense to buy 100000 set OF
double harness when we only had 391,
600 mules and horses.
- We could enumerate many Just such
blunders as were made under the
present administration, all of which,
including Pat Harrison and John
Sharp Williams, was endorsed by the
little bunch Of men of the convention
Saturday.
NV friends, we are suffering today
from Just such blunders. The harness
was purchased by the war department,
of course. To comply with the con-
tract and fill the order for the har-
ness consumed the surplus OF all the
hides in the country. Then what hap
pened? Leather jumped skyward.
The DEPARTMENT sold the surplus har-
ness for less than cost; and Of course,
the purchasers made large profits on
their purchase, for prices for such
goods were up to the highest notch.
1t would not require the wisdom OF a
Solomon to see the mistake the ad-
ministration made in this one trans
action, but it would require a man
with more stomach than brain to swal-
low the pill that is being offered the
people by the followers OF Pat Har-
rison and his ilk.
This paper believes in giving JUS
tice where justice is deserved and en-
dorsing the good regardless Of its
source, and when we see the injustice
that is being heaped upon the Ameri-
can people as we see it today, the
sight of the administration pill
gags us.
President Wilson is great man
he is made so by virtue Of his office.
The American people are the great
est people on earth.
America is the greatest nation OF
earth.
Mr.. Wilson has done exceedingly
well in many things since he became
president, as we'll possibly as any
other man would have done. But
even he, made mistakes. We canno1
endorse mistakes, even though the,
are mistakes, hence, we cannot en-
dorse the administration as q whole.

Republicans, Socialists, Independents

BARGAIN DAYS.

In many towns Bargain Days are
being held by the merchants On
these occasions all the stores agree
to give special bargains. Excursion
trains and cars are run, return fares
are frequently paid on railroads, and
special entertainments given to at
tract visitors.
Where we'll advertised, merchants
seem much pleased with the results
| Of course some real concession N
prices usually has to be made for the
day. But merchants feel it worth
while to do this. to make new friends
and expand their business.
