SUFFRAGE LEADERS TO CL|NCH VICTORY
 IN TENNESSEE TODAY
House Adjourns Without Elf fort to Reconsider the
 Action
SOME CONTENDS THIS
 ACTION, THUS IS FINAL
Recovering of Legislators This Morning, However, Will Set Aside All Doubts as to the
 Measure

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 2O.-Suf frsge leaders were preparing tonight to clinch their victory by closing to. morrow the last parliamentary loor hole through which Tennessee's ap. proval of the federal suffrage amend. ment might be rescinded. They were confident, after the adjournment o1 its house today without a vote or reconsideration, of their ability tc sweep aside the last obstacle to for. nal certification of the action of the legislature to Secretary Colby al Washington.
 Some parliamentarians, including Attorney General Thompson, con. tended that today's action was final Others including suffrage adherents however, took an opposite view.
 When the house met, Speaker Walk CT was in position to move recon sideration of the amendment, having changed his vote to faye" for that purpose. Under house rules he could make that motion at any time in the next two days succeeding the vote. Today was the second day.
 Attorney General Thompson con- tended that Walkers failure to act today settled the question of recon sideration and that the resolution now was ready for expressing and certification to Washington. Others, however, maintained that the motion stood on the journal as a matter of record and unacted upon, and that to remove all doubt it must be disposed of.
 It was with this objection in view that the suffragists today by a vote of 49 to A., defeated a motion of the -opposition to adjourn until Mon- . day for the usual weekend recess and then forced adjournment only until tomorrow morning.
 Washington, Aug. 2O.-Although ratification of the suffrage amend ment is held to cancel all conflicting state laws and constitutional provis- ions, statement given out tonight by the National Woman's party said further legislative or executive ac- tion might be needed in states be- fore adequate election machinery was set up to permit all women to vote in November.
 Alice Paul, chairman of the party ! today wired to attorneys general in doubtful states, asking if the roads to the polls would be open to women as soon as the ratification of the amendment had been proclaimed.
 Only nine doubtful states-Alabama: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Louis- jana, South Carolina, Tennessee: Maryland and Vermont, remaind to be heard from on the point, as party officials have been informed that ad- equate steps would be taken in all others, the statement said.
 In thirty of the states. it added. full participation of women is as- sured, by the fact that they already had more or less complete voting powers under state laws.

POSITIONS FOR FORMER SOLDIERS

Through the Service and Information Branch of the General Staff it is announced that there are several thousand civil positions under the War De- partment open for discharged soldiers partially disabled from wounds diseases incurred in the war.
 For months past Secretary of War Baker, acting in conjunction with the Federal Board for Vocational Training and the Civil Service Commis- sion, has been working plan whereby the War Department might provide for the partially disabled soldiers under it's jurisdiction. This plan has now been worked out, and is fully described in Bull letin No. 12, just published.
 Congress has already provided that in making appointments to clerical and other positions in the executive branch of the government preference shall be given to honoraby discharged veterans and their widows wives. This statute does exempt ap- picants from the usual examinations under the Civil Service but they will be required to attain age percentage of only 65 in order to become eligi- ble for appointment while others make at least 70.
 Age limitations also waived for veterans: they will be released from all height and weight require ments except for the positions of guard and watch man. they will be certified for appointment in the War Department at Washington without regard to the apportonment of appointments among the states and Territories and after passing the necessary ex- animation they will have their placed a register ahead of those not entitled to preference

TRUE FRATERNITY

The record of the and the events that have followed have brought to the surface glimpse here and there of the fine patriotic fraernal work that is being performed by that great American ciety the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks The Elks do advertise their benevolences, but and again, in work, they of such a public character that they discovered Not long cation which was Investigating the work of the Board Vocational Education, summoned before i. J. w. Lysons of the War Relief Commission or ganized by the Elks His testimony gave idea of the work of the Elks in this particular branch of work It only glimpse that hnted at the amount of work performed by them. The Elks, in standing stanchly for the highest order of Amercanis in every community in the land, by pre- cept and example by spending their money, by likewise, a ending of strength in unifyng the country behind the program, in supporting the Liberty Bonds and War Savins Stamps sales in aiding put the Red Cross drives, in the work contributing the comfort and content and necessity of the soldiers in camp and field and in all other branches of activity. And the war and work is only field-a very important ore it is for the last three yearsn which the benevoence and true fraternal spirit of this great order finds outlet.

Luke McLuke Says

There are some husbands who do not think that their wives talk too much. But they haven't returned from their Honeymoon yet.
 Another reason why we have so many divorces is because a lot of modern girls imagine that it is effeminate to love a man after you have married him.
 One way to keep out of arguments is to say mean things about your- self every time you do any talking.
 Every wife believes that if sine goes out of town on a visit her hus. band is going to make a fool of him. self. And ten times out of nine she $ right.
 Love is blind. But that isn't the reason why your wife cant see there Ire six buttons off your clothes.
 If man eats like a hog and sleeps like hog he can't help tell. ng you that it is due to a Clear Conscience
 When you and the Old Lady are lot on very good terms, think it over and you will likely discover that }ou are getting selfish and neglect ng her.

out of the war As told before the House Committee on Education by MT. J. w. Lys- ons of the War Relief Commission organized by the EIks it shows a combination of sym pathy and practical assistance that deserves to stand as model. Finding itself at the signing of the armisticc with unapprop- rited funds the Commission selected from numerous suggestions for the disposition of this money, the plan of aiding in the work of the Board for Vocational Education. The of $100,000 was set aside for this pur- pose, and an additional sum of $2O0,O0O made available a revolving fund to be lent to young men in training who in need of aid. There many soldiers who were unable to enter training because they did not have money for their first months expenses. What have been the suits? Of the total of 26000 men in train ing under the Vocational Board, fewer than 22,574 have received help from the Elks The amount loaned to them has reached $400,000, of which over $2O0,- 900 has been repaid.
 This is the smaller half of the story What the Elks really gave was something rarer and more precious than money-hu- man sympathy and persistent personal effort This needed in a special manner. Men had to be persuaded to take up vocational training Some of them had the feeling that the country owed them a living. Some were earning good incomes by selling even begging on the street. Some were dis heartened In many instances, representa- tives of the Elks went before the Board and worked to shorten the delay that hung over it like a curse. All these activities required tact and patience as well the will to help. The Elks have given n0ta- ble demonstration of true communal eff fortP

ALASKA TRAFFIC AND SUBSIDIES

Sometime ago, commenting upon the proposal that tax placed upon ships engaged in traffic in Alaska for the purpose of creating fund from which pay subsidies for serving out of the way places with vessels operating regular schedule The Empire said that the Canadian Pacific got a subsidy of $50,000 year for it's northern service We informed that the subsidy for the service to Prince Rupert and north of that place is only $25,- 00O
 The Canadian Pacific gets it's contract directly from the Canadian government. The proposed Alaska plan make the Alaska traffic pay for itself but to make it that all the traffic of the Territory would bear part at least, of the cost of maintaining carriers the Alaska routes, operating on regular schedule and serving many of the people possible It is contended by the experts who are advocating this plan that if it could be carried it would be possible to secure cheaper and more regular service to the principal centers of Alaska by the regular common carrier lines, and to the outlying points by subsidiary lines.

 In the great political contest engaging the attention of the American people and the world we have illustration of the workings of practical democracy the kind of Soviet grotesque would sweep into the discard of outworn experiences Here strong contending for the nobest rank on earth They presenting their claims to the people, and the people will select, influence the selection of the right The great office of the Presidency demands greatness of character, experience courage ability. In of his letters Washington writes:
 You affect, sir to despise all rank not derived from the your own l cannot con oeive honorable than that which flows from the uncorrupted choice of free people, the purest source and original fountain of all power
 There be honorable, more worth the striving for; and there is little danger in this day, and this crucial time in the nation s history that any but the right will be selected. It is for the people to say who this right man is. No government rise higher than the opinions of its people; and the opinion, generally, is a right opinion. When any man stands as the repre- ly because he is believed to be in accord with their best ideals in favor of those measures making for the countrys prosperity, security and success, he becomes invested with dignity superior to any sup posed to inure to who wears his honors the gift of inheritance and artificial custom Hence he must and does, live up to the standard required of him.

With the fevered activities and the phenomenal compensatons in the form of wages of the per iod, and women spending, dreaming golden dreams, indulging in a hectic dissipation whose re- action is certain to discomfort hardship loss, remorse, perhaps repentance.
 Only the wise and prudent save against the day of need. How wonderful the sale of Liberty Bonds? Never did people periodically, and at the same time sensibly respond to the opportunity for high and noble achievement in the days of the bond sales. They seemed to have caught the saving spirit: and believed that it would endure Only through work and saving find national sal vaton. But not saving. We pinched some us buy Liberty Bonds. And thousands of people, forgetting the great lesson taught in the day of impending calamity and tragedy, selling these bonds! How sad, how foolish, how shortsighed. Now than is the time to hold on to these bonds, to save, to work. to produce.
