Erin is to be made a Free State to be called the Trish Free State, according to the accepted settlement. Ireland will have a similar status in the British Empire, to Canada, Aus- tralia, J7*w Zealand and South Africa. g In matters of finance, the Free State government will -have exclusive jurisdiction. The new government must pay its share of the national war debt, however, and the Sinn Fein must give reasonable guarantees to the South Ireland unionist minority. TUlster is not required to join the Free State unless:she wish- es to do so. If'she desires to retain her own status, she must submit to the ruling of a boundary commission which will de- termine the exact boundary of her state. i *_ The new arrangement must, of course, be sanctioned by the English parliament. It'is highly probable, however, that if the leading statesmen of England have agreed upon this basis of settlement; that the English parliament will not desire to stir up further strife by refusing to confirm the agreement. If the Eng- lish parliament does not sanction the agreement, it is very prob- able.that a general election will be called and the issue made up- on the Irish agreement. - ; ———— THOSE WHO WORK About 40 per cent/ of the total population of the United States and a fraction over one-half of the population of 10 years of age and over were engaged in gainful occupations when the last census was taken. (Of the men and boys, 78 per cent were at work for wages; of the women and girls, 21 per cent. The proportion of male workers to male population over 10 has fluctuated narrowly since 1880, while that of female work- ers in gainful occupations to female population over 10 has risen from 14.7 per cent 40 years ago to 21.1, having been as high as 28.4 per cent 11 years ago. Looked at from another angle, there was one woman at gainful work to every five and a half men in 1880. Thirty years ago one woman to every four and three-quarters men. Twenty years ago one to every four and a half men, and, 10 years ago one to every three and three-quarters men, with the ratia three and six-seventh in 1920. o, . i This rather upsets the accepted theory about women at work after the war. The really great invasion of gainful occu- pations by women was between the period of great industrial and commercial opportunities for women, — gty W : ARBUCKLE’S MORAL VICTORY? Now that the jury in the Arbuckle case had disagreed, the public will be treated all over again'to the sordid details of the nauseating circumstances surrounding the trial. We had hoped the filth would have been all swept upiand dumped into the garbage can where such stuff should go and we would be able to forget about it, The stench will have to be endured for an- other two or three months until another set of jurymen and women have passed upon his guilt or innocence. g : “Fatty” Arbuckle is reported to have stated that even though the jury did not acquit him he had won a “moral” vic- tory from the fact that the jury stood 10 to 2 for acquittal. This is the first time we have had any indications of anything especially “moral” about the whole affair. If “Fatty” Arbuckle can find anything moral about the affair his ideas about moral- ity are of a very low quality. The whole mess, even though Ar- buckle may not have been strictly liable ior the death of Miss Rappe, was disgustingly immoral, if judged from the evidence given at the trial. § N T Madame Kaji Yajima, who came to Washington with an anti-war petition signed by 10,000 Japanese woman, ought to have taken it to Tokio. P e e—— e ———————————————— | OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR ALREARREAABASRIABALARALAI A s AN INSULTING CHALLENGE Part of England celebrated Armistice Day with a ball at Albert hall, London, on the night before. haps was not out of sympathy with the occasion. But the feature of the tri- umphal event was the disgusting display of wealth by a woman, a Mrs. Smith Wilkinson of Nottinghamshire,"a vulgarian who amassed untold money dur- ing the war and since has earned the title of “the world’s greatest spender.” Attending the ball in the character of the Queen of Sheba, she was robed in what aimed at splendor, but attained only the height of disgusting ostenta- tion. Mozre than 75,000 diamonds and pearls were employed in adorning the gown made by a famous modiste and ingured for $5,000,000. Rings,|. chains, bracelets, armlets and tiara gleamed with additional jewels literally worth a king’s ransom. Vs It is said the party at the ball stood aghast and it well ntay. be believed.
