materialized. Opportunities for both
men and women increase as indus
try and business develop, and sala-
ries and wages have not suffered by
sex competition. Perhaps the rea-
son is that it takes a certain amount
Of money to maintain human be-
ing, man or woman, and it makes no
real difference in the general scheme
of economics who earns it.
The married woman who is trained
or fitted for work outside the home
has every right to keep up that work
if she is clever enough to arrange her
affairs conveniently. She owes 1t to
the community and to herself not to
withdraw from active participation
in her work or profession.
Organized labor seems to lag be-
hind the times in relation to wom-
EMS part in industry. jealousy and
fear, almost forgotten by the bust
ness and professional world, still
hedge labor's acceptance Of women
as equals. The right of women to be
just people and financially indepen-
dent when they can is not frankly
conceded by labor leaders.

Back TO Parnen

The British Cabinets answer to
the latest note of Eamon de Valera
calls a parley and avoids rattling a
sword; nevertheless, it promises to
bring protracted correspondence to
close.
1t presents simple question:
Will the Dali Eireann accept terms
such as Parnell and the long line of
Irish leaders would have eagerly en-
braced, or doesit prefer to risk war
to obtain independence? More is
offered than Parnell, who recognized
the mutual interests Of Ireland and
Great Britain and sought no COM
rlete separation, ever asked for. ire
land, if Parnell was half way right,
thus has won in her long struggle.
The fruits of her victory are spread
before her, waiting to be garnered.
The great mass of Americans, in
Guiding, it would seem, most Ameri-
cans of Irish descent, have been Par
nellites. They have believed that
Parnell was wise statesman and a
true patriot, and to continue to sup
port Parnellism has seemed to them
the best way to serve Ireland. They
do not see wherein the doctrines of
Sim Feinism are per Sc superior to
those of the great lost leader.
The admitted excesses of the Sim
Fein have been excused on the same
ground that the illegalities of the
militant suffragettes were justified.
1t has been said that inasmuch as
Great Britain was unmoved by con-
stitutional arguments it was good
tactics to break heads to convince
her people that the greater part
OF Ireland was deeply dissatisfied.
When Great Britain was duly per-
suaded of the unwisdom of inatten-
tiveness it was predicted that Sim
Fein, it's work done, would retire.
Some things De Valera has recently
said support this theory. His per-
sistence in negotiation has suggested
that some sort of unexpressed alter
native was in his mind. If so, the
time now seems ripe for its dis
closure. If it is brought out and
found to accord with long-revered
Parnell principles those Americans
who have been sympathetic toward
home rule for Ireland naturally will
be pleased.

overcome his sense of humanity.
Like Frank Tannenbaum, who could
not see the quality Of his acts when
he invaded the churches with totter-
Ing hulks of men, and like the or
ganizers of the procession which
clanked it's way along Fifth Avenue
In pretense of woe over the imprison-
ment of war slackers, this Boston
imitator would capitalize human
misery. He does not care what he
does to the souls of his victims,
Is he SO mad with social hate as
to be Indifferent to the brand Of
shame he has affixed to fellow
beings? Does he not know the mark
his merchandise will henceforth
carry? Is he not conscious that to
induce men to make an indecent ex~
posure of themselves is to sap self
respect at it's foundations?
No honest sympathy for distress
or real desire to relieve is in such
propaganda. Needful aid could cas-
lily have been secured. This was not
wanted. The Snowman was out to
make show, and priced his tatterde-
malions as theatrical properties. The
insult to and slander of America may
be ignored. What is inexcusable is
that instead of the upbuilding of
men there is cold-blooded degrade
tion of them.

MIR. Roots Selection

The announcement that Mr.. Root
has been offered and has accepted
membership on the American delega-
ton to the armament limitation con-
ference is news welcome both abroad
and at home.
Among our friends the name of
Eiihu Root has great prestige. He
is rated our foremost authority on
international questions, and in many
countries it had been assumed that
he would, of course, participate in
the Washington deliberations. Here
in America his selection, taken in
connection with others now an
nounced officially, gives an assurance
that America is to put her best foot
foremost-that to the conference we
are to send, as an earnest of our sim
cerity, our most competent men.
The delegation will be national
one-will represent America as q
whole and not any partisan fraction
of it. 1t happens that Messrs.
Hughes, Lodge and Root were all in
favor of this country's entry, with
reservations, into the League of Ma
tions, and that Mr.. Underwood would
gladly have been if he had been
able to establish liaison with the
White House; but this was so
nearly the opinion of men of all
parties that it may be regarded as
the general national view. How
ever this may be, it is manifest that
friends of maximum measure of CO.
operation among the peace-loving ma
tons have no reason to apprehend
lack of American zeal at the con-
ference.
Some effort seems to have been
made to induce President Harding to
select men Of the second rank. But
he has wisely concluded that the best
are none too good. When this pur
pose became fixed in his mind the
dispatch of an invitation to Mr.. Root
became inevitable-was inexorablv
demanded by the facts of the stu
alton.

Book Collecting

The recent sale by Messrs. Hodg-
son & Co., of London, of some of the
first editions Of the works of Dickens
at something under 500 each ("Nich-
olas Nickleby," $40 los; "Dombey &
Son." Sill; David Copperheld," s18)
reveals some Of the mysteries of book
collecting. While this sale was going
on many of the first editions of Jo-
seph Conrad were being offered for
something under $50 ("Lord jim"
$49.50). 1t would seem as if, in
point of sale Conrad might outdis-
tance Dickens, but there are so many
other considerations that the ordi-
nary lay mind stands still, appalled,
at the intricacies. How many books
in a first edition are there still at
large, and of what quality are they?
These are questions the answer to
which may involve lifetime of close
scrutiny.
Emerson's rule never to read a
book until it has been out a year is
ruinous to the book collector, because
the first edition is essential and the
uncut leaf is on a par with this die
tum. The book collectors rule is to
get the first copy of his book that
comes off the press, never by any
possibility to read it, and to wait for
ever, if necessary, until it becomes
a really valuable item.

Women Wage Farmers

1t seems almost incredible that so
obsolete an argument as that ad-
vanced by Mrs. Samuel Gompers
against the entrance or continuance
of married women in business should
be seriously put forth to-day. In
her opinion women whose husbands
earn a good living should not seek
positions in the business world be-
cause that is taking the bread and
butter from some one who needs it,"
That was a familiar argument
when women first discovered that
they could do useful and we'll paid
work in the world other than teach
ing and nursing. The accusation
that they were taking jobs from men
was only one of the taunts that had
to be lived down, but it was very
real one. The girl whose father
could afford to keep her, no matter
how he had to struggle to do it, was
lessening the opportunities of the
young men of her time by becoming
financially independent through her
own efforts. Also she was charged
with cutting down her chances for
matrimony because, forsooth, the
earning capacity of possible mates
was reduced by the competition OF
her sex.
Neither of these calamities has

Not Our Fault

Lord Robert Cecil's disinterested-
ness as a statesman will be gen.
orally conceded. He is sitting in
the League of Nations Assembly
as representative not of Great
Britain but of the Union of South
Africa. His enthusiasm for the
league as world agency is great,
and he has found a keen enjoyment
at Geneva in a freedom of action
and opinion which he could never
have exercised as British delegate.
But he yields too much to passing
irritation when he blames the United
States for obstructing the operation
of the mandate system.
Sir Robert is impatient because
the league Council has not put this
system into effect. "Let it proceed
fearlessly with it's work." he says.
1t is easy enough for a representa-
tive of a small nation to take this
attitude. But half of the Councils
members are representativ of the
principal powers constituting the
Allied Supreme Council. The league
Council cannot act unless it's Su-
preme Council, superior and con-
trolling body, allows it to act. And
this superior and controlling body
has practically admitted that it
made an error in transmitting to
the league Council forms of man
dates which had been drawn up
without previous consultation with
the United States.
The mandate system hasn't been
put into effect because those who
tried to put it into effect got started
all wrong. The United States was
entitled to a say in the disposition
to be made of Germany's overseas
possessions, The other four title
holders made assignments without
authorization from us. These as
Signments are invalid in so far as
we may desire to contest them. AS
70 territory taken from Germany's
associates, mandates were given and
we were left in the dark as to their
terms. We claim the right to enjoy
under these mandates the same
benefits as other belligerents. AS
they read now we are put on a
plane below the neutrals.
Our mandate demands are fully
justified. Sir Robert admits that
they can be objected to only because
they were not made earlier. But if
they are admissible in themselves,
why try to. bar them out with
statute Of limitations? The blame
for delay in the institution Of the
paaadate syassm cannot hs laid at

Tariff Revision Can Wait

In his Cleveland speech Postmas-
ter General Hays made some frank
and sensible suggestions about tariff
legislation. In these he recognized
the force of the objections to perma-
nent tariff revision in the present
unsettled state Of world production
and commerce.
Mr.. Hays said:
"The very basic condition on which
a tariff is built-namely. the cost of
manufacturing in various European
countries with relation to our own
cost of manufacture and the value
of the currency of the various Euro
pean countries with relation to the
value of our own currency--is at the
present moment as fuctuating as
quicksand and as unforeseeable in
the future as the weather"
We have now an emergency tariff,
passed to protect those classes of do
mestic producers who had suffered
most from postwar readjustmcnts
and who feared the effect Of in
creased importations. That meas
ure was admittedly stop-gap, and
justifiable as such. But the task of
fixing rates which are to outlast the
present dislocation of markets and
exchanges would represent leap in
the dark.
Our economic position has been
vastly altered by the war. We have
become largely an exporting and
creditor nation. We do not know
what sort Of tariff we may need
five years hence, or even three years
hence. Premature revision all along
the line might be disastrous, eco-
nomically and politically. The coun-
try IS not clamoring for new per-
nianent tariff, but for relief from
ill-adjusted internal taxation. The
Fordney revision can wait.

Defending Erin
The Tribune Rebuked for Its Attitude
About Ireland


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial entitled @De

ternber is very unkind and unjust. 1t
is entirely in keeping, I suppose, with
your policy, if not with your knowledgs
of the Irish question. To you and
few others the Irish problem seems Il
be incomprehensible. 1t is the Bridge
of Asses" of English statesmen, the
Waterloo of most of them and the
nightmare of the rest. You seem to
think that in the evolution Cor rather

should have no place. Gettysburg and
Appomattox have no bearing on the
question nor is the war of La Vendee
(chiefiy religious) any sample or
parallel for the present difficulty exist
ing around Belfast, except, perhaps
''drunk with cotton" whereas there
they are drunk with linen and in EDs-
land with calico.
England would hold Belfast as secur-
ity-as running sore-as a cause fof
future operations by the anxious sur
geon--as a rope that could be pulled
at pleasure to hang the rest Of Ire
land.
Real principles of peace are foundea

vision but on justice and freedom Do

The Tribune has again and again
directed the attention Of those forces
at present controlling the lower
house of Congress to the existence of
a public opinion which will not sus-
tain them in their efforts to make
byword of the CONSTITUTIONS pub
lie opinion which will be satisfied
with no less than government of
laws and not of men. And as evil
dence that this opinion is. living,
sentient force--as evidence of the
things which contribute to it's spirit
we submit the instructions that
two courts of this city have felt
called upon during the last week to
give to incoming grand juries.
Said Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen,
speaking from the bench of General
Sessions:
every man is sacred and safe in
his home, secure from invasion, except
in manner prescribed by law. No man
can say, I will go into that house be-
cause l suspect that something wrong
is going on there A judge first must
issue a warrant, and if that magis-
evidence he can be held personally
responsible. So, If evidence is brought
before you which has been secured by
.s violation of the constitutional rights
Of an individual, rights affirmed by
state and Federal Constitution, re-
ject it,"
Said Judge William R. Bayes,
speaking from the bench of the.
Kings County Court:
"It should be borne in mind that no
one is above the law, not even the
enforcer thereof. No purpose, how
ever lawful, ever justifes the use of
unlawful means. For some time there
has been general complaint of unlaw-
full search of person and property by
police officers acting without warrants
and without regard to the procedure
fixed by law.
"In my judgment, in which I know
the District Attorney concurs, you will
be justified in inquiring into the cir
cumstances surrounding any case of
unlawful search or seizure that may
come to your attention, to the end
that you may determine whether the
law has been violated and what action,
if any, should be taken"
1t is ridiculous for Congress to
say that the Eighteenth Amend
ment cannot be enforced except by
overriding the Constitution. Let it,
when the recess ends, recognize the
falsity of this position and abandon
it. Let it acknowledge that the en-
forcement of law by any other than
lawful means is intolerable not only
to the people but to the peoples
courts.
