Home Rule for Ireland

Young HERBERT GLADSTONE may
not have inherited . genius for states
manship, but he must be credited with
making one very wise remark at least
While he is unaltersbly opposed to a
separation Of Ireland from Great Bri-
tain. he cannot see the sense Of treating
Ireland like conquered province. de
saws "If FIVE sixths Of the Irish peo-
pie desire parliament in Dublin to man
age local affairs, in the name OF justice
and wisdom let them have it," It's
certain that large majority Of the
Irish people do desire home rule, and
II seems remarkabl that English states
men cannot SEQ that the experiment is
worth trying. That is the easiest and
simplsst way to settle the Irish ques-
ton. Indeed, it would appear that
that is the only way to settle it,
for Ill other measures looking to
that end that have been tried
have failed. Certainly England owes
more to Ireland than she does to
.ny portion Of the British Empire to
which homo rule has been granted.
whatever may be the faults OF the
Irish; Whatever troubles they may
have caused England, they are warm
hearted, grateful people, who' whether
loyal to the British Government or net
have never failed in the army in theiI
loyalty to the British flag. 1t is .
singular fact that even ct times o.
the greatest turmoil in Ireland Irish
soldiers have been in the forefront IL
sustaining British prestige in othe
PARTS of the globe. But . few shor
