Pleas by Big Majorities.
DUBLINS VERDICT AWAITED
Fight in Bail Delays Vote, and the
Verdict There Is Still in Doubt
London Parliament Takes
Recess Until Monday.

London, Dec. .17.-Both houses of
the British parliament ratified the

head, both houses voted emphatic re-
lection Of the uniOnist amendments

pressing regret that the treaty would
involve the surrender Of rights of the
crown in Ireland and give power to
establish an independent Irish army

house of lords by the duke of North
cumberland, mustered only AZ "die-
hard votes Of 213 voting.

treaty.
Fight Delays Vote.
Dublin, Dec 17.-The stubborn fight
of cannon De Valera and a group of
colleagues In Dali Eireann against the
Irish treaty in its present form has

treaty be amended to exclude certain
features. He has been holding out
for an all-Ireland parliament, which
would give the Sim Fem. complete
domination of all Ireland, but he has
expressed willingness TO give Ulster
province wider powers in local af-
fairs.
De Valera is understood to have suf-
fered a reverse in test vote, but is
making a strong fight.
The ACCESSIBILITY of putting the
treaty up to the Irish people in a ref
erendum was discussed at length, II
is learned.

Dali leaders over the treaty and the
wide split between De Valera and the
Griffith and Collins followers all join
in holly denouncing the British in
spired attacks on De Valera.
At Thursday mornings session
Stack caused an uproar by declaring
that the attacks on De Valera in the
originated in England
Griffith and Collins followed, both in
sisting that they were equally hostile
TO that sort Of criticism.
The attitude of the thigh salariec
foreign correspondents" who are in
clined to sheer at the farmer legis

per man being visited and severely
chastised by an emissary from the

 The history of the country fully warrants the Argonauts contention that if the Russian settlement Alaska had sufficiently vrile and foresighted the whole Pacific Coast far south San Fran cisco, at least and possibly beyond. might very well have been Russian. Alaska quite definitely set tied any section of the Pacific Coast and the Russian American Company well situated to carry it's sediment southward If Russians had come and the movement of settlers southward had been prosecuted vigorously the Willamette Val Hey would have been occupied long before arrival of Rev. Jason Lee the Methodist missionary with a foresight that him he had found a country well worth settling with white American farmers. tG
 The Russian settlements in Alaska like the French in Lneisiana and the Spanish in Florida were not sunfcitnAy extensive active to withstand the pressure of Western development. Even before the Civil War Russia realized that the time would come when Alaska, having forfeited it's chance to domin- ate the Pacific, would eventually have to become either American or British and she chose make it American by selling to the United States. Our try slow in recognizing her opportunity, how kver that if had been for the Monroe Doctrine with it's British sanction, it might have been that would have lost it
 Likewise, 1t might be worth while to add, if America had had few Jason Lees that some of them might have busted themselves with the Fraser River, Vancouver Island and other sections farther north the whole Pacific Coast would have been American. The 54-40 contention would have been solved long before it became issue.

Be It Ever So Humble.
lCincinnati Enauirer.l


 Out of the crucible of opinion. made iucandescent by the heat of war-created conditions, a code for the regulation of the rights of owners of prop erty rented for domestic purposes to others In some states laws and in others judicial pronuncia- tions have limited the exercise of ownership and laid down stipuatons outside the which the pro prietor is bound to observe under penalty.
 In Massachusetts a state commission created for the purpose of studying the subject of the necessares of life. has reached the conclusion that there exists only four justifable for landlords to evict tenants, which causes can be stated follows:
 l. When the owner and his family desire to oc- cupy the premises.
 2. When the tenant Is in in rent
 3. When the tenant is an objectionable char acter
 A. When the property is to be razed.
 It is to be presumed that the third cause means that the extreme of undersirabihty must obtain be- fore the custer be invoked To be merely personally objectionable to the landlord will not |sunice While all this is quite interesting there was another declaration the part of the commits sion which Is far more important and valuable.

Washington POst.)
 There is than passing interest in the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission that of a total of 2OOO GOO employees there nearly 90 0O0 women the payrolls of the railroads. It shows a remarkable invasion by women of an industry which hut few years ago regarded solely line field.
 These 9O0OO female employees are not all sten- ographers and clerks Many of them ticket sell CTS, who have served apprenticeship which enables them to select and train connections with curacy and speed. Others telegraphers hay ing entered this work during the when the de- mand for telegraphers greater than the supply. But these not all by any means, for it is reported that enrolled in nearly 20 diff ferent kinds of work in connection with the opera tion of railroads
 In 1920 there than 1000 women on the payrolls shop workers of whom II listed blacksmiths. A greater number still station agents and about 5000 of them worked clean 'ers. Others employed conductors, switchmen and yard workers. In fact, there very few branches of the service in which there some women employed.
 All of which goes to show that have no monopoly in industry, but must be prepared for petition for their sisters. There many kinds of heavy, rough work which apparently in capable of performing, but by their invasion of the transportation industry they have demonstrated that technical expert knowledge does bar them. Their claims to equality are not mere words The men may rant and deliver themselves of learned dis courses "women's sphere" but meantime women taking very important positions ly held exclusively by men and holding to them

Villa Is Converted,
Seattle Times. l


 Law and order is a pretty comfortable condition of affairs after all As witness Francisco Pancho Villa time bandit chief. fleeing from his half million acre ranch at Canutillo Durango to Parral to enlist the aid of the Mexican government in putting down revolt that had developed among his followers
 The incident Is related Juarez by an officer of the Mexican army who did not report details as to the cause of the uprising. But the is of little importance beside the fact of Villas appeal aid
 Here is the man who recognized law but his own. He asked nothing of the government except that it provide him with trains loot citizens slay and occasion hock of Federal toops to give him battle And the Government accommodated him with just about the things he wanted and no more
 Then. after long career of crime, Rancho Villa the bandit became Rancho Villa the citizen with a fine dowry of 5OO.O0O acres of land and a bonus to be good. And certainly he must be keeping his word for in the old days he would have put down his own rebellion and probably welcome now and then for the exercise it gave him.
 Now all the glamour that surrounded him is gone all the picturesque romance is dead. Villa runs to the Government for protection like any honest ct zen Yet Villa seems we'll content with his state Most of us would. It is the natural state of man.
