ENDING THE FIGHT.

With the ratification by the necessary 36 states and the issuance of a procla- nation certifying to such ratification by the federal secretary of state everything except such legal steps in opposition as seems to have been done to complete the long fight in behalf of this constitutions al amendment giving the women of the country the ballot.
 The movement started many years ago. It is not improbable that the idea was advocated by many before it was given widespread attention and before any organized effort was made in its behalf. The principle was set forth more than 75 years ago and soon after woman's rights meetings were held in New York and Massachusetts, Worces- ter having the credit for the first wom- ans rights convention in 1851. And even then it was not until 15 years following that the first petition for woman sui frage was presented to congress. Ii made little headway, however, until much more recent years.
 Just what effect such action as may be taken in Tennessee, and possibly 1T West Virginia, to test the legality ol ratification in these states. may have if uncertain. It seems unlikely if the con stitutional requirements have been com piled with that they will amount to any. thing, and while they are taking lega steps, it is not impossible as the resul of the certification by Secretary Colby that other states which must call specia eaSeions in arder to nrovide foT- fhe vol ing of women will take action ratifyint the amendment so that even though thu two southern states should by an! chance have their action overturned there will be a sufficient number tt complete ratification without them. Ina possibility is now or will be soon befor some of the states which have not act ed on the amendment.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

It is still evident that France is still extremely reluctant to come to any terms with Soviet Russia, that her in terests in a Polish peace is hedged about with conditions, and that many doubts and difficulties remain to be resolved before French and British policy are firmly in line. We may perhaps find a clue to some of these divergencies in advices received by France from Warsaw that the Bol- shevist throne is tottering. For our part we view with intense reluctance and misgfving any return to those false hopes of a crumbling Sovietism which have been responsible for so much waste of time, money and life in preventing peace. We would take quite cheerfully the risk of adding strength to the Lenin regime for the sake of getting peace with the de facto government of Russia. If, as is always possible, the resumption of normal relations disintegrated Bol-
 shevism we would be ready for an even more generous agreement with it's uccessor.-London Express.

EAGERLY WATCHING.

The country has heard with elation the forecasts about the reduction in prices from the department of justice officials so many times when they have failed to materialize that they are bound to take the predicted break in the price of coal with a pinch of salt until there is something to justify it.
 When the statement is made, however, that bituminous coal has dropped from SIS to ss5O in Baltimore it is plainly have been made and the claims present. ed regarding outrageous prices are hav- ing their effect in the right direction. Likewise it is evident that if such a cut can be made in the price of coal, at a time when production cost is just as high as it has been and freight rates are going up someone has been gouging the buyers of soft coal in an unmerciful manner. And the fact that a cut in price has been made should not relieve them. If for any reason the department of jus tice has not had the evidence on which to proceed against the prohteers the findings of the federal trade commission relative to the cost of production and the
 
 fcient to warrant it in finding out where the difference has gone and to put an end to the practices which have imposed such an injustice upon the country.
 It does not appear that the depart ment of justice has been responsible for any great reduction in the cost of liv- ing. It does not appear that its activi, ties as directed against the profteers have brought much relief to the con- sumer. Rather does it appear that in spite of what the department has under taken to do those who have set out to get exorbitant prices have found a way to do it without any serious molestation. There has been much talk but seemingly little action. For that reason the people are bound to be bit skeptical regard ing results in the move to lower coal prices, though there is unquestionably need of it and it is a move that has been long and eagerly awaited. The necessity for renewed activity" in this direction plainly indicates that previous efforts failed to reach the profiteers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Irish in the Revolution.

MT. Editor: Replying to J. N. Eno's statements in The Bulletin of Aug 25 in which he challenges anyone to prove that more than 15t per cent. of the sel- diers of the American Revolutionary army were Irish. I submit the following extracts from a leetter written by Michael J. O'Brien to Senator Williams regarding a statement made by the senator in re- gard to the same matter, MT. O'Brien being the histographer of the American Irish societies in America, and should know what he is talking about:
 'On the 23d of October, ITS, General Clinton in a letter to Lord Germain in reply to the question Which Europeans gave him the most trouble? replied The enigrants from Ireland are in general to be looked upon as our most serious an tagonists.'
 How do you account for the great number of Revolutionary soldiers bearing the oldest names known to Irish family nomenclature? Let me illustrate by a few of these names and the number of Revolutionary soldiers of each name whom I have found in the rolls: Kelly 695, Murphy 494, OConnor 327, Mccarthy 331, Ryan 322, Reilly 2S6, Sullivan 266. Dougherty PAS, Connolly 243, Burke 221, O'Brien 230, O'Nein 198. Fitzgerald 1S4. Donnelly 15S. These names were picked from over 100 of Irish origin. Moylan. Fitzgerald and McHenry were aides of Washington and they were born in Ire land.
 would advise J. N Enc to read "A Hidden Phase in American History" and get his eyes opened. There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see"
 As for Ennis Killen's statement re- garding a riot in Cork, I wish to inform him that I served over four years in the L. s. N. and over year in Europe and know more of that incident than he does. I do not care to present the real cause, as it is to be hushed up and not aired. Any sailor (we object to jackie) who served in Queenstown knows that the sailors started the trouble. IRISH AMERICAN.

THE BURIED TALENT

The ladies of the Fairville Sewing Circle hastily prepared place for Aunt Myra,'' as she was affectionately called by everyone who knew her. The biggst willow rocking chair was pulled over to the open window and a large palm leaf fan placed on tn table near by. Aunt Myra fell back in the chair with a vast sigh of relief.
 I'm late, awful late, I know" she ranted. But I put the hull mornin in- to work for the church, so | callate I did my share then. I'm the one that's always called to cart that old subscrip- tion round. They say it's my duty cause I get the most of O folks
 How did you come out, Myra?" ask year, but a good many folks holler ed the Circles president
 ''Wel, on the whole, bettern last poor mouth when they see me a-comin'. They know what I'm after mostly. Hat tie Belle Sykes says I'm getting to be afprofessional beggar, and when she sees me woddlin' down her hill she's a good mind to pull down the shades and lock the door, laughed the old lady. She paused in her vigorous flaming and gazed rehectively at some children passing by on the street

 A little gray lady across the room stirred restlessly and then said, hesitat- ingly:
 Appearances are ofen deceitful, Aunt Myra, for I can vouch that good taste and hard work are all she puts into their clothes and she told the truth when she said she could not give you vey much''
 But Aunt Myra had been surrounded by group from another room, who were having an argument over the best way to finish the new quilt, and poor Mrs. Horton 9nd her delinquencies were quite orgotten. n
 After the. coffee and cake had been served the little gray lady and her friend. one of the faculty of a nearby agricultural college, who had been the honored guest of the occasion made their way down the quiet maple-shaded streets. q could not betray Alice Horten's cherished secrets for I know she would never forgive me- the gray lady said But truly, she is a marvel of ingenu- ity. and has an artists eye for colors and effects.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
The Mexican Border

NO region in all North America is more frequently mentioned or more wide y misunderstood, perhaps, than the Mex ican border writes Frederick Simpich, formerly American Consul at NegaIes, Mexico, to the National Geographic So- ciety.
 From the Gulf of Mexico up to Fl Paso, along the Texas frontier, the Rio Grande forms the boundary between the United States and Mexico; thence to the Pacific coast the line is marked by stone or iron monuments (save short break at the Colorada), so set that one is sup posed to be visible from another. By this plan soldier, miner, or cowman (yes, and a smuggier, tool can always tell which side of the line he is on; or, if wholly lost and he comes suddenly on a monument, he can soon get orient ed.
 Adventurous, colorful, and full of contrasts as it is, the 1900 mile trip along this crooked, historic line is rough and difficult and has been made by few people.
 "The Rio Grande part of this bord- CT has caused both Uncle Sam and Mex ica much work and mental anguish During bad floods the line as formed by the river squirms around in so aston ishing and lively manner that what is Mexican soil one day may be in Texas the next, or vice versa
 Railroads cut this long border line at Brownsville, Laredo. Eagle Pass and Fl Paso, Texas; at Douglas, Naco and Nogales, in Arizola, and at Calexico and Tia Jouana, in California. Only four of these railroads. however. are main lines of through traffic that penetrate the in- treior of Mexico these start at Laredo, Eagle Pass Fl Paso, and Nogies.
 You visualize the bigness of Texas when you look at the length of it's side that borders on Mexico You realize it's emptiness too when you travel through some of it's border regions where the population is less than two per square mile.
 i No section of the border has seen so much of adventure tragedy, and turbu- lent activity as Texas. The flags of France, Spain and Mexico have waved 1 over it; for a time it flew it's own Lone l Star and also the Confederate flag. Tn Brownsville you hear more Span

A hundred years ago agricultural wages were seldom in excess of 3s, a week. Industrial wages were higher, but the whole family had to work in order to support existence. Children, however, were restrained by a benev- olent government from putting in more than F hours a day in a factory.
