ERA OF PROSPERITY IS
MAKING IRELAND HAPPY

In an article reviewing the condi-
ton of real estate business in the
United Kingdom, as shown by the
transactions of the year 1911, the Lon
don Economist refers to Ireland as
having exhibited far more distinctly
than any other part of the country
am improved state of things. TN Ire
land" says the Economist. the mas
ic of prosperity has worked wonders
and the mere fact that the tenants
own their lands has produced an
enormous increase In agricultural in
dustry and prosperity" This state
mcnt is in accord with the observa-
lions and narratives OF visitors To
ireland for some time past. The land
purchase legislation enacted by Par
lament after so many years OF ayl-
tation has amply vindlcated the claims
of those who so earnestly and per-
sistently urged that reform Of the sys-
tenn OF land tenure was the one most
vital need of the country. Foremost
among the names OF those whose in
fluence was exerted in behalf of this
wise and sanitary policy should be
placed that of Tohn Stuart Mill; how
much misery ard how much political
difficulty and danger might have been
obyiated had his counseis been needed
seventy. instead of twenty years ago.
