HOME RULE AND IMPERIAL
UNITY

A staple argument used against the
Home Rule bill by those who feign
excessive fealty to their country is
that the establishment of a separate
parliament in Ireland. Scotland and
Wales would deprive the British EN-
pire Of the sense Of common interest
and unity which results from the
present form Of government and
would weaken It's power of resistance
to intrusion from without. Mr.. J. H.
Murray Mcdonald, writing in the Con-
temporary Review (London) for May,
deals effectively with this objection
Mr.. Mcdonald recognizes that the ar.
gument Is a serious one and merits
due consideration. But, he says, the
argument Is based on misconception
Of the nature Of the union between
the countries. "That union has never
been,' he writes, nor has it ever
been intended to be, a completely in.
cooperating Union. The three coun-
tries are not parts of the whole in
the sense that Middlesex is a part of
England, or Midlothian a part of Scot
land, or the county Of Dublin a part
Of Ireland. Each country had before,
and has had since, the Union, and
must continue to have, whether the
Union is maintained in its present
form or not, conditions peculiar to it.

JEsUITs IN GERMANY
Fight Being Made to Repeal the Law
Against Them.

Interest has centered these last few
days in and about the Reichstag,
where the Centre Party has led in
two important debates. The first was
that upon the attitude of Bavaria in
giving its own Interpretation to the
law against the Jesuits. DR.. Junck,
National Liberal, interpolated to
know whether it was not irregular for
one member Of the Federated Council
Of the Empire to place and interpre-
tation not given by others on any i'm
perial law. Herr Won Bethman-Holl-
veg replying, outlined the provisions
Of the law against the Jesuits, which
forbade all use of their priestly func-
lions except the occasional celebra-
ton of Low Mass and the administra.
ton, under certain circumstances, Of
the last Sacraments to the dying. The
Rescript Of Bavaria permitted the
Jesuits to give conferences in eccle.

leges, by interpreting the word cor
denstigkeit" or their corporate activi.
ties to refer to the order as whole,
and not to individual Jesuits. Herr
Hollwsg stated that when he heard
this, he asked the Bavarian govern
ment for copy Of the rescript, and
Immediately on finding its right to
make these provisions was impugned,
the government at Munich decided to
refer the matter to the Federal Coun-
Gil for an Interpretation Of the cor
porate actions" which are forbidden.
Therefore, until the Federal Council
decided the question the existing prac-
tice Of the Empire. even in Bavaria,
would remain as before. but, when the
Council gave its decision the decree

EaoTIsT AND FLATTERER.

In his campaign speeches Mr..
Roosevelt has shown repeatedly that
he has an exaggerated conception OF
his own greatness and influence. He
is repeatedly saying things about
himself which a normal individual
would wisely leave unsaid. In his
message to the people of South Da-
kota announcing that he will not be
able to campaign in that state. he
says: Il only went into the fight
when 1t became evident that unless
did SO there was not the slightest

peculiar to itself. Under the guise OF
a unitary Constitution, We have in
reality been working a federal ar
rangement."
Mr.. Mcdonald makes an obvious
point. The three countries are unit.
ed by statute, it is true. But that
does not mean there is union in the
true sense of the word. The slave
and his master work together for a
common purpose; the one because ne
is driven to work, the other because
he chooses to work. 1t is a case of
forced harmony. So in. the case of
the United Empire. Ireland and Scot.
land are fighting for rights which
they consider are theirs. Does the
fact that Ireland and Scotland and
Wales battle with England in the
Imperial Parliament furnish com.
mon interest and unity the Empire in
the face of the outside world? That
seems ridiculous. Real unity can
come only after harmony has been
attained, and harmony will come only
after the various parts of the Empire
are given their rights.
Besides. the argument is only a
specious one. 1t is made for the sake
OF appealing to the patriotic senti-
ment of the country, and not because
1t Is in itself a point of great value,
Common interests cannot be expected
to unite the parts of a nation while
the parts are warning with one an.
other. A contented, self-governinR
ireland would surely be more closely
united to the Empire than an Ireland
deprived of her just rights.

Lord Robert and Lord Hugh Cecil
grew righteously indignant at the
"sacriligious" attempt to take from
the established church in Wales some
Of the property which it took from
the Catholics in the days of Henry
VIII. Lloyd George reminded the
sacrosanct individuals of the estates
which they received as result of
the conquest of Catholic church prop
erty by the king of many wives. The
Cecils grew wrathful and said 1t was
not true. A professor of history in
London University produced the nee
essary information to convince the
unbelieving lords and they finally ad-
mitted the charge. Moral: People in

THE PROBABLE CANDIDATES.

The victories of Roosevelt and VII.
son In New Jersey are the final sig
nlncant events that will bear on the
outcome Of the national conventions
which will be held this month. In the
states where the choice of candidates
nave been submitted to the people.
MI. Roosevelt has proved by far the
most popular of the Republican can
didates. He will not go into the Chi
cago convention with an assured ma
Jority but he will have such a strong
claim to the nomination that it is now
probable he will be the choice of the
convention. If he is not chosen, it
would be no surprise to see him bolt
the convention and run as the real
choice of the rank and file of the Re-
publican voters. Mr.. Roosevelt ia an
ambitious man. He is neither a
peacemaker nor compromiser. He
mas gone 80 far in the present fight
that he will not sacrifice any chance
he has OF being elected. He Is aware
that he is more popular with the peo-
pie than is President Taft. If Taft
were given the nomination by the
convention it would be no surprise to
see Roosevelt fighting 1t out with him
at the polls in November. The "boss''
Issue would be more useful then than
1t Is now. Indications are then, that.
whatever the result of the Republican
convention Mr.. Roosevelt will be a
candidate.
On the Democratic side the results
are no less complicated. The primar-
les have decided nothing. Clark has
the largest following, with Wilson a
close second. New Jersey and Ohio
have gone in favor Of the latter.
Meanwhile there is an unmistakable
Bryan sentiment abroad in the land,

spect than at the present time. Re-

are calling Mr.. Bryan the real pro-
gressive and the pioneer of the pro-
gressive movement. They are giving
him credit for the reforms he advo-
Gated, and was laughed at for advo-
eating, not many years ago. They are
wondering what 1t is that has kept
him from growing stale, and they are
finding the answer to the question in
studying Bryan's political record. The
silent Bryan is at the present hour
receiving more attention than either
of the militant candidates who are
fighting for the honors of the Repub-
lican convention.
In the midst Of the turmoil Mr..
Bryan is keeping COOL He says he
is not a candidate and does not ex-
pect to be. In that he is, no doubt
sincere. II either Clark or Wilson can
get the nomination Mr.. Bryan will be
ready to give the conventions choice
his support. But can either Clark OF
Wilson secure the necessary two
thirds? If neither Of them can, Mr.
Bryan will be the choice. 1t may be

venient to our members and for
all concerned SO that we may ex-
pect a larger success in every re-
spect than if we attempt to hold it
at. this time under adverse circum-
stances. This postponement will
give US ample opportunity to make
more elaborate arrangements and

to more thoroughly enjoy the OBJ
servance of this occasion. [ shall
