Home Rule for Scotland?

It is now Scotland which is making
a demand for home rule, and a Dill
providing Ter Il. Least a measure Of
the self ,,verullcrt which Scott IA
seeks is we'll advanced in The British
House of Commons. AS compared with
Ireland there mas J,en but little agita-
ton for home rule in Scotland, Dut on
The otter hand the conditions there
have never been like those in the
former country. Scotland has been
twice as long without Parliament as
Ireland, but IA Scottish Parliament has
not been badly missed and Scotland
has not suffered as Ireland has under
British rule. When Scotland came in
to the union it was very poor, now
it is much Weather and more popu-
lous
ireland puts forth many good rea-
sons why it should have home rule
but the only ground advanced by those
seeking home rule for Scotland is that
it would be more convenient for the
transaction of legislative business
Of purely local interest. OF course
this would also be true in the case
of Ireland, but there are so many 9TH
err reasons why Ireland wants home
rule that this one is hardly mention ed.
One reason why Scotland is likely to
get what it asks for is that it cahle
into the union of it's own free will,
while Ireland was added by means of
a very different kind. On the other
hand, a reason why Scotlands request
may be refused by the British Parlia-
ment is that the passage of the bin
giving it home rule would be an argu-
ment for Irish home rule and conse-
quently is likely to be opposed by
many of those who would not oppose
Scottish home rule if there We're not

The First Temperance Society.
OF AUGUSTA.

Beginning with Sunday, June IA,
there will be a grand temperance cele-
bretion held at Moreau in Saratoga
county, New York. 1t will be the gath
ering of what is termed the Worlds
Temperance Centennial Congress, with
delegates from all over this country
and from foreign lands, and the meet
ings will continue for 10 days. The
celebration is in honor of the Tooth an
nivcrsary of the first organized tenn
perance movement in this country. In
and total abstinence pledges of later
years, the Moreau movement does not
appear to have been very radical
one The constitution of the society
which was organized there in 1903 pro-
yidcd that no member should "drnk
rum, gin, whiskey, wine or distilled
spirits, except by advice of physi-
clan or in case of actual disease (alSo
excepting at public dinners) under

that this article shall not infringe upon
airy religious rites
The provisions of that constitution
are hardly to be called rigid and there
were numerous loopholes for tn.
thirsty individual, including the penal
ty itself which was not heavy enough
to stand off q very ardent thirst. This
first temperance society went out OF
existence after a few years. but il
was the beginning of the temperance
agitation in this country and as sucf
is entitled to the respect which we al
ways concede to first things. The re-
form Impulse did not die with this
Moreau society. The American Tenn
perance Society was founded in Bos-
ton in 1926, and the New York Tenn
perance Society in 1929 and year
later had hundred thousand mem
bers. The Sons of Temperance, found
ed in 1912. grew rapidly in member
ship and influence. and the Indepen.

in 1851.

One of the old landmarks of the
Methodist church is removed by the
action of the recent general conference
in Baltimore in changing the title from
presiding elder to district superin-
tendent." The new form can mean al
most anything but the former term had
one meaning and no other. Probably
there are good reasons for the change
but many will regret to see it made.

Commander Peary's suggestion that
he will start on hunt for the South
pole after he has discovered the North
pole Is characteristic of the courage
and optimism which have been factors
in his remarkable career. But before
he starts southwark he has still diff
ficult job before him in the arctic re-
giOns and if he wins the great triumph
there which he counts on during the
coming year he will have accom-
plshed something which will entitle
him to a good vacation from the cx-
plora.icn business. 1t would be very
fine to have the American flag planted
at both poles as Peary suggests, but
he will do his part if he plants it at
one pole without attempting at his
age the more difficult task of reaching
the other end of the earth's axis.

We have accepted with decent pro-
test the idea of judicial murder to sat
isfy the majesty of the law, but it is
far cry from the taking of life as a
punishment for a capital crime to the
taking of it merely to shorten the ago
MES of existence where the case of the
patient is hopeless. Resort to lethal
dose of poison in certain cases was adj
vocated not long ago by man of sci
ence, and. although his theory found
champions, the sentiment of the cOun-
try was strongly against it. The ques-
ZION Is again brought to the fore by an in
cident in Edith Wharton's latest novel,
where the plot turns on ''merciful''
murder No softer name can be given
to the act of nurse or doctor who
shortens human life in order to shorten
misery.
The law expressly declares that no
one can effect the death of another
with deliberate and premedtated de
sign without being guilty of murder.
To place discretion in the hands of any
circle or body. whatever their relations
to the subject of the execution, would
be to invite anarchy. If there is one
justifable case there are thousands.
and in view of the number of actual
murders committed it is reasonable to
suppose that occasions would be made
for the legal" removal of afflicted
ones whose early death might be de-
sired by third party.
