Why THE ARGUMENT CLOSED

We have been asked if an an
Swer to the latest anti suffrage
article was forthcoming and we
have replied, No. We have been
asked by one fully competent to
make such a reply, for the priv.
ilege of of doing so and we have
replied, No.
We are fully aware that the
antics have had two hearings to
one by the sulTragctts. There
fore if the debate is closed al
this point we cannot be accused
of unfairness to the opposition.
Our reason for this conduct
ought to he plain to all, but we
wish to make sure that we are
understood.
In calling for discussion on
this subj ct we hau hoped to have
expressions of opinion from
people all over the county. We
had hoped that these letters
would express the opinions of
our people in true Chesterfield
ian fashion.
We were disappointed in that
the people in general did not re-
Spond and were especially dis
at the turn taken by
the letters submitted.

SPONSOR OF the
IRISH MEASURE
Announcement by Premier AS
quith-Bill Follows Lines Gen.
orally Known-Inclusion of
Ulster Counties only by Their
Assent

London July 10.-Announcement was
made in the House of Commons today by
Premier Asquith that the bill for the es-
tablishment of a government for Ireland
on the lines agreed to by the Nationalist
and Unionists would be submitted to Par
Lament next week and that the coalition
cabinet, in which there have been dissen-
sions over the proposals. would stand
sponsor for the measure and recommend
its acceptance.
The bill will follow the lines which have
been generally known including the pro-
vision for the exclusion of six Ulster
counties. Military and naval forces re-
main under the control of the imperial
Parliament and judges of the appeal
court AT Dublin, esta blishment Of which
becomes necessary, will be appointed by
the imperial government. Mr.. Asquith
stated no specific proposals had been re-
ceived from the Cnionists of southwest
Ireland who are supposed to be opposed
to the settlement, but he said any sugges-
tons from them would be considered
carefully. He made the important ad-
mission that inclusion Of the six Ulster
counties, thus uniting the whole Of Ire
land under the home rule government
could be accomplished only by the free
will and assent of those counties.
