Arbuckle Bros, the largest indie
pendent rivals of the American Sugar
Refining company, have voluntarily
admitted that from 1898 to 1907 they
cheated the government out of $685., 573
on customs duties and they have paid
this amount into the United States
treasury. This firm, which imports
large quantities of sugar, adopted the
same methods of swindling the
government as did the trust defective
scales manipulated in collision with
customs employees. The fact that the
sum named was voluntarily paid into
the treasury should not act as bar
to criminal proceedings against the
Arbuckles. "

The strike of the girl shirtwaist
makers of New York has developed a
situation which has no precedent
It's popularity lies in the fact that two
great society leaders-Mrs. o. II. P.
Belmont and Miss Anne Morgan-are
championing the workers cause and
will provide adequate legal defense
for all members of the union who are
arrested while engaged in picket duty.
These two wealthy women have also
taken up the work of personally
directing the strike and believe that
their method of campaign will result
in victory. It must be surprise for
the 40, 900 sweatshop girls on strike to
have such influential women come to
their support.

Leopold, king of the Belgians, is
dead, and thus is removed a monster
who was responsible for more atroci-
ties than the bloody "Butcher"
Weyler of Spain. In his administra-
tion of the affairs of the Congo Free
State he countenanced such appalling
cruelties that the civilized world
shuddered. On his death bed the old
reprobate refused to see his own
daughters whom he had cast out from
his palace years before. Leopold was
an unfeeling, brutal man whose only
god was gold, and it is blessing
that the Lord has seen fit to terminate
his reign.

his tongue refusing it's Office except

spectacle.
It is mighty poor way of celebrat-
ing the birth of the gentle Savior, who
brought vital message of kindness
and eternal well-being. It turns the
sweetest holiday of the year, by the
riotous methods of intemperance and
excess, into shameful saturnalia.
It wastes good money, it prostitutes

Self-Government for Ireland.

While denying any and all thought
of separation, Mr.. Asquith, in his
Albert hall speech, committed the
liberal party explicitly to "a system
of full self-government as regards
purely Irish affairs" This is far
from being home rule in the sense
that the Irish nationalists demand it.,
but it is a plain pledge that the old
G]adstonian policy of twenty i've
years ago shall be part of the liberia
program.
From now on home rule is certain
to be one of the leading issues in the
coming elections. Mr.. Asquith s
declaration on the Irish question will
help to solidify the unionist vote in
spite of irreconcilable difference with
in Mr.. Balfour's party in respect to
prOtecti0nism. On the other hand, the
Irish vote outside Ireland, which is
an important factor, is bound to go to
the liberals if logic has anything to do
with politics.
But before even a modified form of
self-gOvernment can be granted to
Ireland by the liberals, the reform of
the house of lords is an imperative
step. It is inconceivable that the
house of lords as at present consti-
tuted will consent to so radical de-
parture. Within the last few weeks
it struck out of the government IS
Irish land purchase bill provisions
essential to the final solution of the
land question. It would slaughter a
home rule measure today with as
much glee as it did in G1adstone's
time. -
Aside from the merits Of his Irish
policy, Mr.. Asquith, has played his
hand shrewdly. The reform Of the
house of lords is an absolute condi-
ton to the tenure Of, Office by 1 any
liberal government. In that work Mr..
Asquith has assured his party the
assistance; of Irish. nationalist.
Otherwise they would be contributing
to another long postponement of self
government for Ireland.
