THE IRISH CONSTITUTION.

The draft OF the constitution of the Irish Free
State has been given out. and while the Irish have
not gotten all they demanded, they will have a
dominion status, be practically on the same basis
as Canada and other British possessions. ireland
has long demanded complete independence, but
Premier Lloyd George during the negotiations
which resulted in the present forward STEP refused
to consider any proposal which would put ireland
outside the empire.
While 1t is difficult to forecast just what is go
ing to happen in Ireland, the present indication is
that after seven centuries of strife the islanders
are due to settle down and enjoy peace. This Will
be a fine thing. During the last five or six years
hundreds of Irshmen have been slain and property
worth millions Of dollars have been destroyed by
fire.

MAKING GOOD HEADWAY

Especial Correspondence to The JournaI.)
Artesia, N. NJ, June 16.-The
Poultry association at Hagerman,

The raising Of poultry is rapidly
developing into one OF the most
profitable industries of the state.
Thousands of cases of eggs have
been shipped from Artesia during

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE EAST VERSUS THE WEST.
fFrom the BOSTON Transcript.)


The University of caforna's splendid triumph
at the intercollegiate games in May at the Harvard
Stadium, and the fine marks set a few days later
by Western Conference college athletes at Iowa
City, have caused reopenng of the question OF
the comparative merits Of the East and the West
In college athletics Statstically minded observers
have taken due note of the performances of the
California and Leland Stanford stars at the Sta
dunn, and OF the many superlative performance
of the Middle Western athletes at Iowa City, and
not few Of them have come to the conclusion
that the West Is the peer. IL not the superior of
the East in the matter of achievement on track
and field. Known facts and figures certainly af-
ford abundant justification for this conclusion
and the West has justly earned its title to fame.
In the last analysis however, what is the East
and what is the West? Does boy born in New
York. whose parents move to the Pacific coast
thereby qualify to enter as a ful-fledged member
the family circle OF the West? Or does boy from
Chicago, because he comes to an eastern college
thereby renounce his allegiance to the Windy City
and such exploits as he achieves the cin-
der path be properly chalked up to the credit of
the East? who or what should get the credit for
an athletes achievement? His paternal and a.
ternal ancestors, his home town or state, or the
institution in whose academic halls he has found
la home for few years? sterling group OF
boys of athletic promise from the states beyond
the Alleghanies moreover come to colleges and
truly national institutions, and the performances
on the athletic field of these native sons" shed
means easy to pass with finalty upon the question
Of the relative merits Of the East and the West in
athletics
be sectional pride and competition in athletics,
this pride and this competition should be only in
cidental. Whether American athlete the
colors Of Leland Stanford, California, Michigan,
Harvard or Cornell, he is striving not only for his
alma mater but for the honor and glory of Amer
lean manhood. The East will be as quick to
praise the performance of the western athletes as
the West. III turn, will be to acknowledge its deb.
to the pioneers in education that eastern colleges
and universities have sent far and wide through
out the Union. The whole in short. is greater
J than any Of its parts.

FINANCIAL



New York, June 16.-Receni
acute unsettlement in the stock
market made further progress to-
day prices of many speculative is
sues again breaking sharply after
an early period of the list was dis
posed to make up some of its lost
ground.
Liquidation differed from that OF
yesterday and the early period of
the week in that it was directed
more generally against the low
priced rails, majority of the food
specialties, minor motors and sew
eral of the mail order and chain
stores issues.
Texas & Pacific was the main
target, falling almost four points
on string OF offerings which in
cluded a drop of one point between
sales st. Louis Southwestern pre-
ferred, Wheeling and Lake Erie
preferred, Lake Erie & Western,
Rock Island. Pere Marquette, At
lantic Coast Line and several of
the prominent transcontinentals
were lower by one to two and a
half points.
Elsewhere the reversal, which
was at its height at midday, eff
fected gross declines of one to
three points, chemicals, secondary
equipments. coppers. textiles and
tobaccos easing as stop loss"
orders were uncovered.
Almost the one constructive
stock of the dav was Mexican Pc
troleum, which made a net gain Of
81 points to the high record Of
143H. Sales amounted to 1915
900 shares.
Continued ease of call money
rates was negative influence be-
ing based mainly on the light in
quiry. The opening rate of 81
per cent was shaded to per cent
in early afternoon.
Foreign exchanges without ex-
ception reflected more clearly the
unsettled state of economic condi-
tons abroad. Sterling fell 11s
cents, allied remittances lost six
to ten points. neutrals were lower
by three to ten points and the Aus
TRAN rate developed further weak
ness on cables which offered little
hope of an early loan to that coun
try.

VERSE OF TODAY
THESE FIELDS AT EVENING.

These wear their evening light as women wear
Their pale proud beauty for some lovers sake,
Too quiet hearted evermore TO care
For moving worlds and musics that they make;
And they are hushed lonely women are
So lost in dreams they have no thought to mar
How the wide heavens blossom, star by star,
And the slow dusk is deepening to the dark.
The moon comes like lover from the hill.
Leaning across the twilight and the trees;
And finds them grave and beautiful and still,
And wearing always, such nights as these,
A gnmer less than any ghost of light,
AS women wear their beauty through the night
