USELESS OPPOSITION.

The anti suffrage bitter enders of Ten
nessee have made a pitiable exhibition
of themselves and all to no purpose.
Taking advantage of the absence of some
of the supporters of suffrage they recon
sidered the vote by which the nineteenth
amendment was ratified and voted not to
concur in the senate's resolution of rati-
fication.
The trouble with the action of the
lower house of the legislature is that it
concerns a resolution which has already
passed beyond its possession and which
it is impotent to recall. Tennessee's GER
tifcate of ratification has been duly
signed and sent to Washington. 1t has
been made the basis of Secretary Colby's
proclamation that the nineteenth amend
ment has been adhered to by sufficient
number of states. What use is it now to
Tennessee ants to expunge the record Of
approval from the journal of one house
For that was all the house of representa-
tives at Nashville could legitimately do.
Congress instructed Secretary Seward
in 1868 to ignore attempts to withdraw
approvals of the fourteenth amendment
given previously by the legislatures of
New Jersey and Ohio. Necessarily an
approval once given is final, else the con-
stitution would be subject to perpetual
changes of opinion on the part of individ-
ual states. And if the states assent has
been regularly certified to, as Tennessee's
was, it viii be exceedingly difficult to
convince congress or the supreme court
mo such question has ever been carried
to the supreme COURT that it is just or
practicable to go behind the returns.
Women have the vote and will keep
it. Even before litigation challenging
Tennessee's consent on grounds of irreg-
ularity could be concluded ratification
will probably have been put beyond any
shadow of legal insufficiency by further
assents on the part of Connecticut and
Vermont.

Gives Them the Lie Direct.
(Fair Haven Era.l


. Candidate Frank w. Agan is having
high old time travelling up and down
the state enlightening the people ON the
violations of the Volstead act. He and
his propagandist may think they are
furnishing good reading and helping
in his chances for election but it looks
otherwise to the editor of the Era.
Candidate Agan has a perfect right
to his opinion on the 18th amendment
and the Volstead act but he has no
right to outrage public opinion with a
lot of alleged facts in regard to the vi
olations of the law.
If correctly reported and he should
be, for he has his own mouthpiece, al
ways at hand, conditions are worse to-
day in Vermont than they were under
local option. This is contrary to the
general verdict which has right and
reason back of it.
Take this town, notorious for its vio-
lations of the law in prohibition days
as, a license town for all the time with
the exception of one year when we had
a spite vote, local option starting in
no mild way, went from bad to worse
until the 18th amendment went into eff
feet, when it could not be much worse
than it had become. 1t is surely diff
ferent today. The local hotels are true
to name and not distilleries Some
people are drawing sober breaths some
thing for years unknown to them. Our
people are spending money for the nee
essaries of life and are not throwing it
over the bar to help hotel landlords buy
expensive motor ears and live a life of
idleness and ease. Surely things are
different and are really for the better
and Frank w. Agan knows it in his
heart and he knows better than to pros
titute public opinion as he is trying to
do throughout Vermont.
There are other things in Vermont
for our candidates to harp on and we
would advise them to finger some of
the other things go their Tyre. Rum is
no longer holding the center of the
stage in Vermont.

A plan like that which entreated us to
''buy bale OF cotton" few years ago is
TO be tried out in New York state on the
apple crop, which is unusually large this
year, but the prices so low that growers
claim they cannot afford to pick them
for market. They suggest that next
week, beginning Monday, be apple pie
week" in that state and the Rutland
Herald thinks it would be good idea to
extend the plan to Vermont, but is it
necessary? Our past experience has been
