PROMISE OF HOME RULE.

! 1t was in no uncertain words that
Premier Asquith promised home rule
to Ireland He said:
Speaking last year before my ac
Icession to the premiership, de-
scribed the Irish policy as the one
undenlable failure of British states

said then. and on behalf of my col
leagues and, believe on behalf of
my party, | reiterate that this is a
problem to be solved only in one way
by a policy which, while explicitly
safeguarding the supreme. indivisible
authority of the imperial parliament.
can set up in Ireland a system of
full selfgovernment as regards pure
lily Irish affairs. There is not and can
not be any question Of rivalry or com
peting for supremacy, subject TO
these conditions. That Is the liberal
policy. For reasons which we believe
to have been adequate, the present
parliament was disabled to advance
from proposing any such solution, but
in the new house the liberal govern
ment at the head of a liberal ma
jority will be in this matter entirely
Free
That the enemies Of home rule
thoroughly understood and appreciat-
ed the above is shown by the follow
ing from the London Times: THE
prime minister has set forth pro.
gram OF destruction which must
plunge the country into controversy
of the most confused and bitter kind,
lasting in any event for many years,
and almost certainly rendering i'm
possible any serious and effective
treatment OF the constructive prob
lens now confronting us:
The London Saturday Review said
Better than any speech any Unionist
can make Is the announcement of the
malign bargain between liberals ami
Irish. 1t is exact and explicit Home
rule for years has not been quite
definitely on or quite definitely off
the liberal platform. Now it is as
much plank as it was in sc or SO.
Every liberal must walk it. If Mr..
Asquith's statement in his Albert
Hall speech does not bring every
unionist to the poll, nothing can. It
is a direct and dreadful menace to
the empire"
1t seems to have brought out the
qRionists. Home rule, even as I'M
dertaken by Mr.. Gladstone, could not |
be brought about, He failed, though |
he seemingly had a majority of the
commons with him.
The kingdom is, however, today in |
likelihood better prepared to treat |
with fairness the issue. May justice
at last be done to long oppressed Ire

nearly hundred men here whose oc-

must lay the lines which other work

sought for. Their work must be care

MEN VS.. VOTERS.

II 4H .
Perhaps the most striking among
the many striking remarks In Jacob
A. Riis' lecture at the Cairo opera
house Monday night was that made
by New York's new street commits
siener, who, when asked to explain
how he was able to clean up GER
tain street which for years had re-
manned buried in filth, in spite OF
many protests, replied laughlingly:
Il merely put man behind every
broom. instead Of a voter. In other
words, he eliminated politics from the
street cleaning department Of the
city.
An equally striking remark along
the same line was made by Alderman
Greafey in the Cairo city council re-
Gently, when some member proposed
that the wages OF the street laborers
should be increased Said he: Il
would be in favor of that, provided
you put meters on the men. SO that
we may know what we are getting
for our money" Alderman Greaney's
remark probably will not apply in its
full meaning to all the men employed
on Caifos streets, but it will apply to
a number OF them.

For scrubbing, housekeeping and dish

as it is for washing clothes. It does all any
soap will do-besides lots Of things impos-
sible with other soaps.
For instance, it whitens floors in addition
to cleaning them; takes dirt off vanished
surfaces of hard wood without dulling the
varnish; brightens dingy paint work and
brings out the colors in oil-cloth and lin
oleum;-and in doing this cleaning you
use cloth instead of scrubbing brush.
Easier, isn't it? 1t will remove grease and
stains from carpets and rugs as thoroughly
as can be done by professional cleaner
1t will even take out blood stains-the
