Freedom for Ireland by the voluntary

hope which Gov. James M. Cox was

England, where the Irish-American
population Is probably more numer-

watchdog set by Great Britain TO
keep Ireland in bondage, will In
reality prove her salvation

Adopt Woman's Manual CompiI-
ed by Partisan Graybeards As
Guide to Sex Relation.

PARIS Oct. 19-French feminists
have adopted as the most perfect ex-
pression of woman's rights an an
cient "Womsn's Manual" written in
Persia more than 200 years ago and
lust translated into French.
The Teebid ell -Ridjal as IL is called,
does not ask for the vote or for equal
paw for equal work, but proclsims
woman's right to be edored. This Is
woman's supreme privilege, and must
be safeguarded.
The Persian Woman's Manual is
based on two axioms. The frst Is
woman's right to be served by man.
The second is that by giving woman
the gift of beauty nature intended
that she should not work, but live In
pleasure and ease.
To impress man with a sense of
duty, the marriage ceremony should
be changed so that the man should
say. while the bride rests her left
foot on his right foot an instant:

slave"
After the ceremony according to
the Persian rite, bride and BRIDE

President Wilson may call upon
Senator Harding to name the
"spokesmen" of the French people
who the Republican candidate stated
had approached him and urged that
the United States lead the way to
an association of nations, it was
learned at the White House today.
ABsOLvEs FRENCH GOVERNMENT
Secretary Tumulty stated that
he had not seen the President and did
not know what his plans were. How
ever, others close to the White House
indicated that they expect the Presi
dent to call on Senator Harding to
name the "spokesmen. -
Prince de Bearn, French charge d.
affaires. has informed the State De-
partment that the French foreign Of
flee has denied sending any spokes-
men to Senator Harding relative to
an association OF nations. The charge
stated that he is satisfied that no Of
ficial spokesmen of France have
voiced their approval to the candi-
date OF the association of nations.
Under Secretary of State Davis
made this announcement but refused
to state whether a formal answer has
been received from France on the in
Quiry made yesterday, or in what
manner the inquiry was made. -
JUSsERAND IN DENIAL.
1t also became known today that
Ambassador JusBerand has advised
officials Of this government that he
has neyAs .discpssed the Association of
nations with any members of the
Senate.
II was strongly Indicated at the
State Department today that this
is ready to consider the
incident closed, so far as the ques-
tion OF diplomatic prophecies go and
that France is no longer considered
a party to the controversy.
with France apparently out of the
controversy, interest today turned
again to tho President in the clash
between the Chief Executive and
Senator Harding.

the official text OF his statement, it
was generally admitted today. absolv-
ed the French government of any
breach of diplomatic proprieties. 1t
was admitted that the official text
differed from the report to which the
President took exception
The Presidents reply to Senator
Harding is now awaited with inter-
est and 1t is generally predicted
hWe that the Chief Executive will
word a reply in an effort to show
that the French government is firmly
in support of the League of Nations,
and does not desire an association of
nations

CORK, Oct. 49, ENORMOUS
crowds turned out today for the fu-
neral Of Michael Fitzgerald, the
dead Sim Fein hunger striker, at
his home at Fermoy. The body was
removed last night from Cork Jail
to St Peter and St. Paul's Roman
Catholic Church, where it remained
until this morning under continuous
guard by Sim Fein officials.
MeswINEY SENDS WIRE.
The following telegram has been
received from Lord Mayor Terence
McSwiney in Brixton Jail:
IT have no tears but tears Of Joy
for my comrade. who was ready to
meet God and die for his country. He
has joined the immortals. He will be
remembered forever. We do not know
who will be the second to step in the
path of Immortality, but in Offering
the unreserved sacrifice, we are safe
guarding the destinies of Ireland.
join with my comrades at Cork in
sending heartfelt sympathy to all the
relatives of our revered and fallen
comrade."
The death of Fitzgerald will prob
ably have an extremely bad effect
upon the other hunger strickers, ac-
cording to the Jail doctors. Although
the men occupy separate cells IL is
difficult to keep news of what is hap
pening from reaching them.
Joseph Murphy. Sean Hennessy, and
several OF the other fasting prisoners

pected shortly.
1t is understood that a military in
duiry into the death of Fitzgerald
will be held before the body is re-
moved from the Jail.
ROMANCE IS REVEALED.
with the announcement of the death
of Fitzgerald there came to light a
romance which would have rsulted In
the marriage of Fitzgerald on his
deathbed II permission could have
been obtained to hold the ceremony.
A constant attendant on Fitzgetald
since he began his hunger strike was
Miss Condor, OF Fermoy, Fitzgerald =
home town. She was supposed to
have been his sister, but as IL turns
out she was his fiancee. Miss Condor
nursed the prisoner devotedly night
and day.
week ago Fitzgerald expressed a
desire that he be married to Miss
Condor before he died. He said he
felt that death was near. Miss Condor
consented, but permission was refused
to the prison chaplain to perform the
ceremony. The bishop OF Cork was
appealed to, and he Is said to have
authorized another priest to perform
the marriage ceremony.
1t Is asserted that when the prison
authorities learned OF the plan they
issued n warning that II, IL was car
ried out all visitors would be excluded
from the jail in the future. Accord
ingly the plan was dropped.
Fitzgerald had served fifteen
months in prison. For three months
he had been In the same Jail In which
he died In solitary confinement He
had been out OF the prison only a
fortnight when he was reerrested

The most careful and cold-blooded
surveys of the agricultural States
show that the great body of the farm
ers are going to support Senator
Harding and this is one substantial
reason for the confidence expressed
by the Republican leaders over the
outcome of the election. The bulk OF
the agricultural vote, as things stand
today, will go to the Republican nomi-
nee and at the same time the agricul-
tural elements of the United states
will expect Mr.. Harding, IL he Is
elected. to give them a great. con-
structive agricultural program. In
view of present conditions on the
farms, with labor scarce and mater
ials high, and In view OF the growing
congestion in the cities and the rela-
lively diminishing farm population,
there will be no small measure OF re-
sponsibility on the next administra-
ton for -statesmanlike handling Of ag.
ricultural questions.
COX Is HANDICAPPED.
Governor Cox is undoubtedly han
dicapped by the fact that Mr.. Wilson,
administration has never had a strong
grip on the farmers and it's grip
now Is weaker than ever. In truth
there Is much antagonism to the ad-
| ministrc tton among the farm organ
iations, and Mr.. Cox and his manag-
ers thus far have been unable 20
| overcome II.
The visit to Washington this week
of a body OF Representatives OF farm
organizations, demanding OF Secretary
Houston ana the Federal Reserve
Board more liberal credits is some
thing to be borne In mind In this con
nection. Inasmuch as both northern
and southern farmers are asking
moro liberal credits at the hands OF
the Federal reserve system, this de.
mapd cannot in any way be consid-
cred as political.
