Irish Boundary
Main Business of
Parliament Today

London. Sept, %. (By a. P.)-Parlia-
ment will reassemble tomorrow for an
emergency session which will be brief
and probably uneventful. It's sole
business is to adopt a bill providing
for the settlement of the Irish bound
airy question. The Anglo-Irish treaty
provided for boundary commission to
and Southern Ireland and the present
bill is along these lines.
When the colonial secretary, j. II.
Thomas. introduced this measure at
the close of the last parliamentary
session the hope was entered that some
agreement might he reached with u
ster in the interval which would rem
der the bill needless. This hope has
not been realized; the Ulster govern
ment remains ohdurate on the boundary
question. Hence this special session
was called for the purpose of adopting
the bill, which will probably pass all
stages in the house of commons I'M
amended by next Friday. The situa-
ton is governed by the fact that the
unionist party has no desire to pre-
cipitate any appeal to the country on
the Irish question. The official leaders
of the party. therefore. will not move
the rejection Of the bill That being
the attitude of the responsible Unionist
leaders. IL is not considered likely that
the house of lords will take upon it.
self either to reject or even amend the
bill. although as a body the lords have
strong sympathy with the Ulster cause.

Coolidge Deplores
Law Which Prevents
Expression PEOPLES Will

New Orleans, La, Sept. 29-La-
Toilette headquarters for Louisiana
here gave out today the text of a
telegram from President Coolidge
with reference to the situation in this
state, where LaFollette- Wheeler
electors have been barred from the
ballot in the election in November
because of a state law relating to
party affiliation.
Replying to your telegram. it is
my desire that full and free oppor-
tunity be afforded under the state
laws of our country for an expression
Of the popular will in the election of
all public officials. To my regret
there are states in the union where
the law Is such that this IS not posi-
BILE and 1t is too late not to change
such laws. While / am heartily in
favor of party government l believe
that when a contest is made in a pri-
mary which is to open to participa-
far TO determining what candidates
are to be presented at a. coming
election"
Never the-less. recognize that 1t
is the privilege of our voters to sup
port anyone they wish at the polls
and feel that tho laws should not be
drawn for the purpose of preventing
such action. I would apply this rule
rot only to your court Of louisiana

Austin, Texas, Sept. @.-By A.
P0-Brushing aside all the old
common law barriers against the
right of women to hold office. Judge
George c. Calhoun, in Fifty Third
District Court here today ruled that
Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson is legally
qualified to be governor of Texas.
In an opinion which Mrs. Fergu-
sons lawyers said was Il thorough
exposition of the law and acomplete
vindication OF the position of the
first woman nominee for governor,
Judge Calhoun declared that neither
the constitution of the state or the
statutes of the Legislature bar women
from Office. He refused, to srant a
temporary injunction to restrain
election officials from placing her
name on the ballot.
The trial courts decision clears
the way to bring the case up for final
adjudication by the supreme court.
The plaintiffs attorney gave notice
of an appeal to the court of civil ap-
peals, In order to get the matter be-
fore the supreme court without
y
peals, it will lie necessary for the
latter tribunal to certify the ques-
tons to the supreme court. The
parties have practically agreed that
this procedure would be followed
The supreme court meets next Mon
day for the term and it is expected
this case will come before it during
the coming week.
Judge Calhoun went immediately
into the heart of the question as 20
whether women have the right to
hold office under present laws.
Going back into the common law
of England, on the principles Of
which the plaintiff had grounded his
suit. the court explained that women
were not allowed to hold Office under
the old common law. principally be-
cause custom to that effect had
grown up. 1t was based on the as
sumption that women were too deli
cate for the arduOuS duties attendant
upon office and were not educated TO
the point where they could fill exc
Cutive positions we'll as men, He
showed, however, that these con-
ceptionS of Il woman's position had
gradually changed as women had be-
come more educated and general en-
lightenment spread until the old
ideas had given way to the modern
conception that women are in all
things the equal of men.
