But those who make this comparison
between the two governments leave out
of consideration the very important
fact of the state governments IN amer

lation is not performed by congress a.
all. but by the legislators OF the Varl.'
Gus states.
The average citizen seldom sees
federal officer except some one con-
neeted with the postOhice. The great
body of the laws, civil and criminal,
which govern his interests from the
cradle to the grave are state laws. In
no other great nation Of the world, per-
haps. is the national government left
SO free to devote it's time and enersies
to international and to great national
affairs Suppose we had no legislative
body in this country except our con-
gress. and all the laws under which
we live had to be passed by its cham
bers and signed by the president.
Gould the government possibly give
them adequate time and attention
Would not measures of pressing need
be delayed for years to await their
turn in the great accumulation OF WORK
to be done?
This is precisely what happens in
the United Kingdom. Mr.. Gladstone
gave his great soul to the tardy relief
Of the people at home, by passing great
reform measures. But in so doing he
neglected the interests of the vast
British empire, in the judgment of the
BTitons of today. Lord Beaconsfeld
built up the empire with amazing abil-
ity and power, but he neglected the
suffering interests at home. 1t is no
reproach to either of these great states

the central government Of the greatest
empire known to human history-more
than three times the size of the Roman
empire in population should attempt
to do all the iawmaking for such capa-
bic peoples as the Scotch. the Irish, the
Welsh, to say nothing of the English.
A local legislature for each of these
grand divisions Of the kingdom need
not weaken it In the least. The limits

All would be better satisfied with
such a plan, it would seem. The peo-
pie of the four grand divisions-eall
them states or what you will--would
not have to wait for slow reforms
which are urgently needed. They would
be better satisfied to manage their own
affairs in their own. way. And tne
splendid system of the British govern
ment in national affairs could go on as
now.
Perhaps there should be proposed
five local legislatures instead of four.
There are really two Irelands, rather
than one When home rule is proposed
for Ireland the Scotch-lrish OF Ulster
are alarmed. They would be at the
marcy of Irish Ireland. The people or
Ulster are of Scottish blood, and of the
Protestant faith. The rest of Ireland
is Irish and Catholic, if We except the
pale. The latter contains many Who
are English and Episcopalian. 1t has
been the center of English power IN
Ireland for centuries. Ulster and the
Pale would be outvoted in a legislature
for all Ireland, and the bitter feuds Of
Centuries would find expression in par
tial legislation. Let the two Irelands
be recognized in any plan for home
rule. and this difficulty disappears. Let
Ulster and the Pale, joined by the
northeastern coast, constitute one leg

erald Isle another.

It is deeply to be regretted that, present

bigotry growing up here and there over
ireland. We, in Ireland, alas, suffered
too long from this curse. and it Is time
we had done with it entirely. 1t is all the
more lamentable when we consider that in
many recent cases the offenders are peo-

HONOLULU HAD 4
NOISY EVENING

Honolulu went mad last night with
tin horns. and toy drums and all the
noisy Accomplishments of blaring small
boy days, but it was a pleasant if not
musical madness. It was not all CIV
en- over to the small boy, nor to the
small girl either. There We're men and
women, full grown, in the crowds that
thronged the streets, and they footed
horns and turned in their hands those
little things that make the horrible
grinding noise. Indeed, they conduct
ed themselves generally as a crowd
will that is out for a good time, re-
CARELESS of how much noise is made in
having it, and so kept the innocent
fun going until midnight.
They probably kept it going until
a little after midnight Sheriff Henry
had the whole police force in hand,
in case there should be sudden need
for peace officers, but there was no
need, sudden or otherwise. That is,
there was no serious need. OF course
there We're few who thought that
they could not properly celebrate the
holiday without an inner dampness
| There always is that few. But these
| We're very few, and the balance of the
crowd would have kept them in order
probabl in any event or would have
prevented any serious disorder That
is the real mark of Honolulu's Amer
| icanism.
! The stores were all open until late
hour and all did good business. The
| purchasing of the day kept on until
we'll into the night, and the rain held
| off so that there was nothing to keep
would-be buyers in their homes. Also,
the presence of the transport Solace
and of the French man-of-war Protet
in the harbor not only added to the
picturesque night life of the streets,
but added not a few dollars to the
Golfers of the merchants of Honolulu
ALI told, it was a memorable Christ
mas eve The holiday will go over
now, until Monday, when all the pub
lie offices will be closed and wher
those who follow the proclaimed
Christmas will have their celebration
