For that reason it is tmpossible to fee gard the attitude of John L.

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN AGREE- MENT. , Bftorts to bring about a better under- standing among the Central American oountnies have covered a considerable period of years. From time to time Thus when, at the present time, an effort is made to salvage some of the agreement, it will take any more than others have By the meeting together of the rep- wsertatives of Salvador, Honduras and Njearagua on board the United States oftriser Tacoma loeated in neutra] wa- terg a new and important stant would appear to have been made. Under ft| from such detalls as have been furnish-| of it would seem that there had been % reendomsgment of the agreement reached in the Washington conference 15 years ago which dealt with gemeral péace and amity among the five Cen- tral American countries and the estab- Hehunent of a Central .American court of justice, providing for extradition, fu-|beverage or else the twre conferences, communications, es-| warped their judgment. 50 coldly turned down. office under a charge of misuse of his position. ‘The claim is that he has caused to be semt about the country under govern- ment frank aeppeais involving the com- ing election, but it is a wrong interpre- tation which is put upon it when it.is claimed that he is urging the election of anti-salloon candidates just because he, in the office which he helds, is urg- ing the election of those who stand, for law and order. Commissfioner Haynes s supposed to have and direption of the en- forcement of the Volstead act. Regard- less of the opposition' to it that ds the law of the land and it ds the enforce- ment of it that he must deal with. That he has encountered much more than. is known aboutt in the way of lawlessness in commection with the liquor business is not to be doubted. Bnforcement of the law, however, calls for the suppres- sion of the manufacture, distribution and sale of Mguor in viclation of the law. While i yemains the law of the land not onlly Commissloner Haynes but the law respecting citizens of the nations shou¥d uphold it and in appeal- ing for those who have come out wholly on the side of law and order is no more than should be expected from a federal official whose business it is to see that the law is upheld. He needs all the as- sistance he can get from those who be- lieve that the Volstead act or any other law Should be respected as long as it remains the law, and he takes no differ- ent position than expected from 2 law enforcement officlal He is oconcerned with the accomplishment of his duty. EDITORIAL NOTES. And yet there are those who have no Mking for the undodgable dogdays. —_— Getting the hard coal facts may be a softer job then might be expected at first thought. e The cows may be kept from the ag- ricoitural fairs but the autos and ajl the folks will be theme And yet you will find those who in- sist that the bolshevik way of doing things ig the only way. ————aee Hope for speedy mifne settlement has been so long deferred that the “speedy” ! might as well be eliminated. ‘With the Inish rebels seéeking peace they must wonder what has been accom- plished by their wild period of wio- lence. The man on the ocorner says: It would have been pfeposterous to sup- pose the publi¢ would have won the coal sented at last and. explained: “I did not mean to make you fee] bad, Luc but there are a number of little things to attend to. The man is coming to take down the awnings. Have him put them from the cleaners send the couch cpv- ers and velvet portiere.” *“Very well,” I said, wishing mother would hasten, for I intended to telephone Louise Erwin to bring her cousin, Mr. Winstone, over to luncheon. He is a charming chap who is staying a few days at the Erwins’. ¥ “I've put out the suit for your father's old clothes for poor Mrs. Malloy’s hus- band,” said mother a few minutes later when she was leaving. “Be sure to give your grandmother a good lunch, ~and now, good-by, dear.,” “All right,” I said, and I flew to the phone as soon as she was out of the house. ‘ Loulse said they would love to come, except that Mr. Winstone had a friend in town who had just telephoned that he would run up to See them. Of course I urged her ta bring him along, saying' that we could have a rubber or two of bridge in the afternoon. ¥ For- once Louise appeared to get into the spirit of my gayety. We really had & delicious meal, for I took the pineap- ple cream dessert, that Tilly had made for dinmer, and the jellied chicken I got from the caterer's was perfect with Louise’s coffee and her biscuits. Just as we werée finishing, I remem- bered that I had forgotten to call dear granny down, so I took up a tray to her. Mr. Winstone said he thought I was the most attractive granddaughter, when he saw me e on her napkin one of the; roses he had brought. Grandmother wasn't nearly so grate- ful for my attention as I might have expected. She said she much preferred coming to the table the way other folks *|do, and she asked querulously how in the world I happened to have jellied chicken on Thursdays. ‘“Why not have = something good on Thursday as well as on Sunday or any other day?” I asked laughingly. -“Noth- ing is too good for you, granny dea: Oh, pleasé get it, Louise. In mother’s LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fhe Attitude of the Women, . Editor: In the Norwich Balletin of last Saturday and again Tuesday, some surprise i3 expressed the votes of the women on the pro- hibitory amendment as given by the ‘straw vote”. which is being taken by the Literary Digest, accompanied by the request that we subscribe for that periodical. We think it is not a matter of surprise, that so few voted dry, as #t is surprising that any votes at all were sent in! No question should ever be sent to a loyal patriotic Awmerican, as that of being asked if one believes that @ law of the land should be emforced! We are in duty bound to.obey all laws whether we approve or disapprove. The Volstead act passed the house 287 to 160—nearly -thiee times as many for, as against. It passed the senate with- out 3 roll call. It was vetoed by Pres- ident Wilson and inside of three hours the house passed it over the president's veto, the senate conturring by & vote of 65 against 20. Previcus to this more than two-thirds of the states had paseed! statewide prohibitory laws, showing conclusively the sentiment of the peo- ple. Why ask anyone whether he or she approves? Again the mames of those strike. There may have :been other things to worry about but plenty of rain has made it unnecessary to fret about the water supply. ‘When the hard cosl miners are un- willing to arbitrate after next March) 31, it doesn’t look as if they were will- ing to-abide by facts.

The writer of this article has attend- ed several public meetings within the last ten days and when the women were asked how many had received balflots, only a very few hands werg raised. Al- so omly one who was & subscriber to the publication quoted.

Half a million replies represent a small percentage of the 10,000,000 bal- lots sent out. Of course those favoring repeal Wil reply. There are 'some- where around 30,000,000 voters in the country, couniing the women, and the 10,000,000 ballots sent out represent not over ome-third of the voters. Conse-~ quently the sentiment of the country either for or agaimst the 18th amend- ment §s not and cannot be acourately estimated. One writer says “Prohibi- tion has made liars and criminals of men” to which statemem: we disagree. It has only revealed them a Mitle pre- maturely. Now is the time for some magazine or publication, wishing to in- arease its subscription list, to send out a questionnaire asking us to vote on our approval or disapproval of existing au- tomobile laws, for they are violgted as much as the prohibitory laws e the result of the “straw vote” what it may, R s certain that the 500,000 members bellonging to the W, C. T. U. will not vote for any candidate, for any office who will not stand four square on en- forcement of all law. Also the League of Women Voters will “stand by their| guns” No one need worry over the votes of the wemen. L. X. FULLER. Scotland, Conn., Aug. 23, 1922, The Coal Field Trouble. Mr. Editor: Would you please print the enclosed from the Outlook. It is written by A. 8. Rachel of Bramwell, West Virginia. RESIDENT. Norwich Town, August 23, 1822. The enclosire follows, 5 I note in a recent issue of your maga- zine an agticle setting forth that the union miners are striking simply to se- cure a living wage. May I present an indident that occurred here under my personal supervision, so to > Recently we saw a handsome Victrala being hauled up the hill beyond our howse, My wife asked the young ocol- ored woman who was$ cleaning for us about this, and received the answer that) it was hers. A Negro neighbor, a min- er, had bought a Victrola and one hun- dred records for $175 a few weeks be- fore, soon tired of it, concluded to buy a piano, and sold the Vietrola to an- other miner (the husband of the young colored woman just mentioned) for $125 and - bought the- piano. These are non-union miners: They get the same wages the uplon miners do, subject to the advantage of no dues to pay. They are busy at work, oon- tented, able to buy nianos and Victrolas, records by the hundred. Thelr wages allow them to live in complets gomfort. This is no dsolated instance.

I cant see where it can have gone to. “Well, I'm sure I don’t know,” I said running into her room. “I haven't heen in here since you left this morning. Louise Erwin came up to get the suit for Mrs. Malloy.” 3 “Why, that wasn’t in here. it was done up in a suitbox in the back hall.

I had to give the awinings to the cleaner, and put the portlere and the couch covers in the attic, and get granny’s lunch and: " “Surely, Lucile, you didn't send all those awnings to be cleaned?

But that ds the trouble, and the whole trou- ble in southern West Virginia, FAMOUS NICKNAMES “The Swamp Fox” ¢ title of “The Swamp Fox” was bestowed upon the darimg, young, ro- mantic hero. Francis Mavion by Gen. Cornwallis, when the latter was in charge of the Southern British Army at Wwar with the colonists. Gen. Gates had been defeated amd Marion withheld tha information, from his men, fearing it might depress their spimits. The con- cealment was brief. for that night his scouts brought word of the approach of a strong British guard with a large body of prisoners from Gates’ army. The scene of action was near Charles- ton, The British Army, being so thoryl- oughly organized and equipped, was having things very much its own woy. About this time all that the Continental forces, could hope to do was to harness the ememy as much as possible. The chief course of annoyance was Marion and his small body of night riders who seemed to be here, thare amd every- where at just the opportume moment, dealing a blow upon the unexpected Britishers and off again like the wind. Marion made his dash into the open, inflicted his woungs and escaped to the swamps in the neighborhood of the San- tee. When Marion observed the British in possession of a number of American prisoners he suddenly appeared in their midst. The surprise and victary was instant and complete. Not one of Ma- rion’s men was lost, while 24 of the regulars were killed and over 150 of the Maryland Continental line were released. Th British feared and hated Murion, and Cornwallis delegated two of the hest of his cavalry afficers, Tarleton and Wemyes, with the injunction to “Go and catch that ‘Swamp Fox’ under all circumstances.” Thig don gave to Marion his nickname. The British officers took up the title given to him by Cornwallis and ever after referred to him as “The Swamp Fox.” Tarleton and Wemyss attempted to follow out their instructions. Marion, as usual, was encamped in the depths of the Black Mingo Swamp, His dash and brilliant sorttes has brought to his ranks many hitherto avowed Tories, for he began to be called the “invincible,” on account of his never having struck a blow without success. ‘Wemyss had been unable to find Ma- rion, but Tarleton was more successful. The latter’s legion was at Camden, and with a small troup of horses he sgt out from Charleston to meet Marfons men on the Congaree. Manion was informed of his movememt, and he resolved to attempt the capture of Tarleton before he could effect a h ion of his corps. He failed, and the brave colonel, with his whole force, was soon in swift pur- suit of the partisan. Through deep morrasses and across mirey streams they followed mntil they reached the verge of the vast and gloomy Ox Swamp, when tired of the chase, Tarle- ton exelaimed: “Come, my boys, let's go back! We will soon find Sumter, the Gamecowk of the Catawha, but as for this cursed Swamp Fox, the devil himself could not catch him.” The pursuit was aband- and from the gates of Charleston to the high hills of the Santee Marion re- mained sole master. Marion conducted all hds military en- terprise, surrounded by deep morasses and reachéd by causeways, principally from' Snow's Island. This was almost as impregnable as the noted castles of the orman Barons, From these marshy fastnesses Marion Sent out detachments to scatter Tory recmuits, destroy bridges, strike camps at midnight, and cut off convoys of provisions and arms by day. He never followed beaten his foes knew not from what “A moment in the British camp, they were flest and efficient, not actually in this train fgnorant of his position, IN THE Howard G.
