that no only got chance to prosecute his voca-
tion about once a year. This is sometimes sconed

arose in his mind. Still, the calm wings OF MS

has serious drawbacks. But there's no denying
his faith: it might not be able to remove noun

| taken place at Atlanta University. There are SO
MANY students there that all the available space

Morley suggested that under a Home-Rule Min
| stry the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland should
| be taken by him or by one Of his associates and
one of the law offices of the Crown by another
member of the Nationalist group. The suggestion
would seem to be entirely consistent with the
principles of Home Rule-the government Of Ire
land by the Irish-for which M. Parnell has been
contending for fifteen years. IL he was unwilling
to have an Irishman replace Mr.. Balfour and
become responsible for the administration of the
island after the establishment Of a separate legs-
lature in Dublin, he was apparently DESTROYS OF
preventing solution Of the question OF Home
Rule.
