BERKELEY Co-EDs OFFENDED.
May Not Attend the Games If They Are
Not Wanted at Rallies.

BERKELEY, Nov. 6.-Marian Craig,
athletic editor of the Occident maga-
zine at the university, has startled the
athletes and the student managers OF
athletic affairs by yelled threat that
if the co-eds are not treated with more
consideration at rallies" they may be
expected to withdraw their patronage
of football games. Miss Craig writes
in part as follows:
The annual freshman rally. was held
as usual the night before the annual
freshman game in order that the whole
university might get together and give
the team fitting send off-the wnole
university, that Is, except the women.
Why should the women conner They
don't play football. they don't root.
perhaps some of them. have not even
read the Rugby rules; why should
they come to a football rally? This
is evidently the logic upon which the
rally committee has acted. Let them
carry their reasoning a little further.
1t is only one step more to--Why
should the women come to the game
But of course, that is different. and
besides, the graduate manager might
object. But the interest and pride
which the women take in college ath-
Ietfcs will not outlive many such
sights, and who knows. perhaps the
graduate manager may some day have
cause for complaint.

VICEROY'S POWER
rs QUESTIONED
In Dispute Relating to the
Government of Ireland
Lord Dudley Is Ignored

One of the most remarkable features
in the controversy ranging between Sir
Anthony Mcdonnell, Under Secretary
for Ireland and the Right Hon. Walter
Long, former Secretary for Ireland In
the Balfour Cabinet, is the manner In
which everybody seems to ignore Lord
Dudley, who was Viceroy of Ireland in
the recent administration. The con-
troversy relates to the alleged excess
of authority by Sir Anthony in asso-
ciating himself with Lord Dunraven's
so-called schemes of devolution, with
out having received the sanction Of the
Secretary for Ireland, or of the Union
list Cabinet.
Now, 1t has been shown that Sir An
thony was working in the matter with
no less a parsonage than the Viceroy,
Lord Dudley. who was himself strongly
in favor of the devolution project.
Walter Long argues as If Sir Anthony
had been responsible to himself. AL
though the Irish Secretary is a member
of the Cabinet, which the Viceroy is
not, yet, strictly speaking, the Vfceroy
is the superior officer of the Secretary.
Indeed, the official title of the repre-
sentative of Ireland in the Cabinet is
Secretary to the Lord lieutenant" "
and he receives his appointment, not
from the Premier, nor yet from the
sovereign, but from the Viceroy, who
confers it upon him by means of a
minute, bearing his signature, and by
letters patent, sealed with the Irish
privy SEAL
The idea, therefore, Of Sir Anthony
MacDonnell having been guilty of ex-
cess of authority, or disfoyaltys and In
subordination. as alleged by Walter
Long. is ridiculous. since Sir Anthony
was working in the matter in conjuno-
tion with the viceroy, who was not
only his chief, but also the chief o.
Walter Long. Indeed. 1t is In the
power at all times of the Viceroy K

ed True. were a Viceroy to ventur,
on such a step. the Cabinet would prob
ably Insist that the sovereign shoul,
demand the viceroy's resignation
which the monarch alone has the au
thority to exact The whole contro
versy, however, goes to show the ano
maly of the present method of govern
ing Ireland, where the Viceroy is sup
! posed to content himself with the mer
obedient executive of his principal SEQ
retary, who receives from him his ap
pointment and can be dismissed by hir

COTTON GROWING IN AFRICA.

The British Cotton Growing Associ-
alton has decided to send out addi-
tional ginning and baling plants to
Lagos and Northern and Southern Nj
geria with a view to dealing with the
largely increased cotton crop next sea-
son. which 1t is confidently expected
will be about twice as much as for the
present year, which was 5000 bales. The
associations manager in Lagos stated
that the natives were well satisfied
with the price which was paid to them
and found 1t to their advantage to cul-
tivate cotton along with their other
products. Experiments are being made
for improving the quality so as to
make the cotton more suitable for Lam
cashire mills. and he pointed out that
the cotton shipped this season had been
of much better quality than previ-
ously.
