Washinuton Silent.

Washington, Sept. State de-
partment officials, in the absence of
Secretary Colby, last night hesitated
to express an opinion as to the eff
feet on suffrage ratification by the
action of the Tennessee house
The situation presented, 1t was
said, however, was one with which
the state department was not at
present concerned. The action Of
Secretary Colby in proclaiming the
suffrage amendment part of the
federal constitution was based on a
certificatfon by the governor of Ten
nessee as required by law Accord
ingly, it was said, unless the gov
ernor should rescind his ce~tification
or unless the certification should be
declared invalid by the courts, the
state department had no interest In
the matter.
Suffrage leaders in Washington
did not reg;, I'd the Tennessee situ-
alton as serious, declaring that the
best legal advisers had. informed
them that once ratification was
voted by state legislature the vote
could not be reversed except in case
congress presented to the states
resolution to appeal the amendment.
Some suffrage leaders admitted,
and many anti-suffragists claimed.
that the legal tangle in which Ten
nessees ratification has become in
volved would undoubtedly be made
more complex by the action of the
Tennessee house.

The miners are making two spe-

1nandS as a talking point for the

people understand exactly how far
omlliie wants to go, failed fatty to
succeed in it's purpose. The govern
ment Is firm in it's refusal to accept
either of the two demands.
1t is estimated that the shillinss
increase would add 6 $1,000, 900 to the
expenses of the operators, while the
reduction of prices for household coal
would cost another 100000. The
miners claim that this loss" could
be borne out Of an estimated &c.,
100000 surplus profits" which they
believe will be yielded by the export
coal trade in the twelve months end
Ing next May.
The government, on the other
hand. declares that the trade abso-
lutely can not stand such losses.

In an interview published in Toxic

zier is quoted as follows:
~"If the soldiers of the United
States who had a touch Of war in
Europe were told tome ROW that
hundreds Of transports awaited
them in Pacific ports to carry them
over for war with Japan, what do
you think those Yankee doughboys
would say? Would it be, On to Ja-
PAM 1 think not Instead, the SOL
diers Of the United States, despite
their readiness to fight If need be.
would say, Give us the reasons for
war; Why should we fight Japan"
And unless the United States gov
eminent could prove to them the
need for war to defend tie very eN-
istence Of American inst tutions the
American soldiers woul d demand
that the American battles hips be re-
turned to their Bases.
I'm the making Of wars there is

There is no public sentiment in the
United States that thinks seriously
Of war between Japan arc America.
I was in a position when the dough
boys came home from France to
known what they think about war; I
watched them, and 1 know what
would be their feeling about such a
war, which really does, rot call for
serious discussion, to my mind. The

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-Another cool
week with deficient rainfall has been
unfavorable for crops in Iowa, ac-
cording to the weekly weather and
crop bulletin. Corn has remained
practically at a standstill. Reports
of denting have been received from
only a few localities, and the bulk Of
the crop Is yet in the roasting-ear
state, and much is yet in the milk.
1t appears that for some unknown
reason, the bulletin declares, corn in
nearly all portions Of the state has
not put out strong brace roots. Be-
cause Of this. heavy rains or moder-
ately strong winds would weight
down the stalks, which are unusual
ly heavy. Damage of this sort is al
ready general In the western and
northern portion of the state and
the value will be reduced at least so
per cent in half million acres in
that area.
Shock threshing is practically
completed and fall blowing made
good progress during the week.
Grapes are abundant and of good
quality:
Commercial truck crops are being
harvested and marketed.

Senator Harding has scrapped the
league. This was done, really. by the
republican platform and in the re-
publican candidates speech of ac-
ceptance;, but certain gentlemen and
certain newspapers, for their own
purposes, pretended to construe the
words Of the platform and of the
candidate wholly at variance with
their plain tenor.
There can be no pretense now
even Of Misunderstanding. On Sat
urdaty, Mr.. Harding reiterated, milan
guage incapable Of two interpreta-
tons, his opposition and hostility to
the league of nations. He declares,
as we have all declared, in favor of
arbitration treaties, and the Hague
tribunal. He would go, as we would
all go. to very great lengths to pro-
mote peace and prevent war. But
the league of nations he designates
sive alliance Of great powers Gre
ated to impose their will upon the
helpless peoples Of the world
HE says clearly, I am opposed
to such a scheme as that and he
adds, T am opposed to the very
thought of our republic becoming a
party to such great outrage upon
the peoples who have as good a right
to seek their political freedom as we
had in 1916
\ Governor COX says he favors go
ing into the league. Senator Hard
ing now emphatically answers he
favors staying out. The long fight is
won. We will go thru the form of
voting upon the question in Novem-
Der, but the election Of Senator
