It is gen. orally held, however that the decision of the Su- preme Court in the prohibition fight, has the effect of rendering the conflicting clause in the Tennessee State Constitution unconstitutional and invalid

But it is apparently the determination of the opponents the suffrage to prevent it from becoming effective while the test to decide it's consitutionality being made That the suffrage proponents will put up a desperate fight the issuance of injunctions is a foregone conclusion And whichever way the is decided, the decision will constitute but the first step in legal battle which will least equal if surpass the fight the Eighteenth Amendment.

QUESTIONABLE PERFORMANCE

More than year ago Dr. Hermann Mueller, Ger man Foreign Minister, acting plenipotentiary to
 the Versailles conference formally signed the peace
 treaty for the German government. A few days prior to the signing President Ebert issued proclamation announcing the decision of the German National As semby to accept the terms offered by the Allies and pledged the nation to abide by and carry out those terms
 Yesterday another German Foreign Minister Dr Walter Simon, flushed with rage when he told that the Allied Powers would longer pass lightly over Germanys noncompliance with and apparently studied violations of the peace treaty Lloyd Georges declaration that he is inclined to believe that Ger many does not intend comply with the require msnts of the treaty if she possibly get out oi so doing is justified by specific violations which the attention of Dr. Simon directed. The lat ter's assertion that Germany is doing the best she can cannot be regarded seriously. The evidence tha she is not proceeding in good faith, especially ir compliance with terms regarding reduction of mi tary forces and armament, is overwhelming. The Allies not unreasonable in considering her per formance highly questionable and in giving her sharI warning that the time for haf-hearted is at end. Her best hope lies in full and complete compliance with the terms of peace the earliest possible moment in order that the day of her fu rostoration into the society of nations and woriG Fellowship may be thereby hastened.

The 1920 census totals for Alaska constitute an indictment of this great Republic.
 Here is vast domain immensely rich in natural resources capable of supporting large population, that has stood still for decade.
 It's timber remains uncut; it's coal lands un- touched it's oil barely tapped and it's agricultural riches unutilized.
 Every foot of this timber land coal oil and agri- cultural-is under the Stars and Stripes
 The American pioneer having reached the Pacific and settled up all the country the East can go mo- where Alaska
 He would go there, to duplicate in the great Northland the conquest of the wilderness that made this great Republic great, populous rich if he could better his condition.
 That he is convinced of his inability to better his condition in Alaska is evidenced by his refusal to trek NOrthward
 Will Congress make Alaska sufficiently invitng; for mcl and for capital induce both to eo North las they once went West? Whenever Congress and the Federal Government assume that attitude and adopt that policy Alaska Will take its place among the spots favored by American enterprise and American initiative And there will be such depressing, deporab ble conditions of underdevelopment revealed by the 1920 census totals!

Boston. May IA nat increase
of salary Of 20 per cent for all State
employees was urged before the
Senate Ways and Means Committee
by former Senator George L Barnes
of weymouth. who said that Massa-
chusetts rapidly Is losing many
valuable employees because of the
small salaries paid. He said that
in the income-tax department 20
per cent have left In the highway
department 12S of the 452 employees
have quit and In the Bureau of Sta
tistics. 24.s per cent have left.
It was brought out that compe-
tent engineers, graduates of tech
nology. have left their positions be-
cause they were paid less than Ia
borers. The largest loss of em-
ployes Is among those of less than
$500 salary.
During the past year the short
age Of help was such that, though
appropriations were made on the
usual basis, there was $1ss,000 due
in salaries, which had been turned
back into the State treasury from
the thirteen institutions under his
charge because there were not the
employees in service to draw the pay.
One result was that the service was
poor.
Robert Kelo. of the Department
of Public Welfare. said that it has
been impossible to keep the field

cheney. 1t takes years to develop

Especial to The wa.hInston Hersld.)

Especial to The washlngton Herald.)
Boston, May 16.-There Is a gem
eral feeling of nervousness in the
shoe and leather market which
centers in this city. ..
Already 1t has reached the point
where retailers are canceling orders
placed with manufacturers. and
dealers are confident that in the
near future prices for footwear
must reach lower levels.
For some time the delay of re-
taiIers In placing their orders for
the future has caused manufac-
turers concern, and now the atti-
tude of such dealers is becoming
more general. an indication of the
downward route. which sooner or
later will be followed by all indus
try and manufacture.
Represent Top Figures.
In spite Of these emphatic forms
of protest against high prices, GER
tain manufacturers and some deal
ers who are well stocked continue
to declare against any movement
other than upward. they still argue
that prices will advance, and they
have little or no intention of max
ing any reduction in the prices of
their goods
The present stocks represent the
top figures of the times when the
goods were manufactured, and the
legitimate profits to the retailer
should be recognized, it Is claimed.
Buy Mt Extreme Prices.
The public in general does rec
ognize reasonable profits, but there
are enough of these people who
think they can discern unreason-
able profits. There are people who
are willing to buy at extreme prices
but SO long as they do. the dealers
Keep up prices on all goods in pro-
portion.
This keeps lower-grade merchan-
disc at too high prices. and as the
lumber of people who must accept
lie lower grades of boots and shoes
increases every time house rent is
raised, the demand for such goods
increases, and the shoe trade secs
the trend, even IL some of the large
business houses do not want to
recognize tho conditions and act
accordingly.
That the coming autumn will see
lower prices representing a consid-
cradle reduction from current fig
ures now seems to be inevitable.
For this reason astute dealers are
not ordering fall lines till a new
schedule OF prices is recognized.
