That conditions in Ireland are i'm
proving no one will deny. But the
question arises. To what cause or
causes are the improvements due?
MIR. Crammond argues that because
economic improvements are coming
about without self government in Ire
land Home Rule is not necessary for
the Well being of the country. But
are not the improved conditions the
direct result of the struggle for self
government? And might it not be
more validity argued that since con-
ditions have already improved, great
er improvements still may be expected
when Home Rule is reality?
England has made no concessions
to Ireland except those that it was
forced to make. No law favorable to
the Irish people was ever put on the
statute books that the Irish party did
not fight for. No reform in the gov
eminent of Ireland was ever affected
that was not the result of long and
tedious struggle on the part of the
Irish people. Why then attribute the
lettering of the economic conditions
In Ireland to the generosity of the
English? Why say that Ireland will
be better for ceasing to fight for her
rights when all that she has she owes
to her persistent struggle?
If economic conditions are growing
better in Ireland it is due to Ireland's
formidable struggle for Home Rule
and to no other cause. The argument
is more valid when used for self-gov-
ernment than when used against it.

is regulated, the Pope remains alone
until nine O'Clock. From nine to
twelve he receives the Cardinals and
ambassadors. At twelve o'clock Plus
x. says the Angelus, and he then goes
to the dining room. Custom ordains
that the Pope should always dine
alone at small table covered with
canopy. Plus X, however, at times.
breaks this tradition by inviting dis
tinguished prelates to sit at his table.
after dinner Plus x. goes out in
the Vatican garden and takes a walk
in company with another prelate. This
is the best time for an audience for
those favored by an invitation. When
the Holy Father is alone he speaks
to the Noble Guard who accompany
him, to the gardeners who are at
work, and he converses with them in
a paternal manner.
about two o'clock the Pope returns
to his own apartment and remains
there alone until five o'clock Five
o'clock is post hour. The Pope re-
ceives official personages as in the
morning. At eight o'clock Plus K.
takes light collation., during which
one of the secretaries reads a pious
book aloud for him. 1t is generally
a chapter from the limitation Of
Christ a work for which the Holy
Father has special fondness.
AT nine o'clock again, according to
Roman custom, he receives persons of
Importance of the members of his
household, with whom he converses
on business, good works and other
projects. 1t is often eleven o'clock,
nearly midnight, when he thinks of
taking little rest. All his servants
have by that hour retired for the
night.
"Pius X. in order to make attend
ance OH him simpler, has arranged to
have his bed room above his official
apartment. 1t is similar to a monks
cell. He only has, as he formerly had
at Venice, plain iron bedstead-a
camp bed. 1t is on this that the be-
loved chief, the vigilant guardian of
Holy Church, sleeps for a few hours,

MILITARY DRILL IN ULSTER.

To the question whether the police
authorities in Ulster have been asked
for a return of the names of those
officers, retired or otherwise, who
have been drilling the members of the
Unionist club, Mr.. Birrell in the
House of Commons a short time ago
replied that the Government was fully
informed as to the drilling in Ulster
and as to the officers and others en-
gagged in it. Mr.. Ronald McNeill then
asked Mr.. Birrell If he was aware
that drilling is being done in the sec
ondary and elementary schools add
ing, land are the government keeping
their eye upon these schools also?"
Mr.. McNeill's question caused a
ripple of laughter and it also illus
trated the absurdity OF the situation.
The whole affair in Ulster looks like
perverse child's prank. The child
ish Orangemen do not believe in the
rule Of the majority and in their blind
rancor they resort to threats, as II
they felt that their power of resist
ance were inversely proportional to
their power to argue their case.
Ulster warning against the Empire
would surely be a sight for the gods.
The pigmy and the giant clashing In
FLOODED combat would present a
scene fit for a vaudeville attraction.
Sir Edward Carson leading his gall
lants to the last ditch would be a re-
markable shambattle performance.
The affair is intended to play its
part in preventing the adoption Of the
Home Rule bill rather than in pre-
venting it's operation once it Is en-
acted. Ulster does not expect to Of
fer resistance to law passed by the
Imperial Parliament. That would be
SO foolhardy that even Ulster could
hardly consider it seriously. BY play
ing up the bluff strongly before final
action is taken OH the bill. the Ulster
Orangemen hope to win sympathy fot
the opposition. Their efforts failing.
the Ulster threats will die with the
noise that voiced them.
The best policy for the Irish party
to pursue is to refuse to take Ulster
seriously. The principal drilling that
is being done in Ulster is drill in
how to circulate stories that will make
ii appear that Ulster is ready to do
what it does not think of doing. Ul-
ster is drilling for review and not for
battle.

IRELAND GROWING BETTER.

Mr.. Edgar Crammond writing in the
Nineteenth Century" comes to the
conclusion that the rate at which con-
ditions are improving in Ireland is
such as to make 1t unwise to change
the constitutional relations Of Ireland
and Great Britain at the present time.
1.-THE evidence that the economic con-
dition Of the Irish people under the
Cnion," he writes, "is now improving
at more rapid rate than that Of the
people of Great Britain is incontro-
vertable. and there is every reason to
believe that the advocates of Home
Rule, who are now SO eager to deny
this improvement, would be the first
II Home Rule were granted. to search
Ireland from end to end for evidence
of wonderful economic advance, which
they would then have no difficulty In
discovering and no hesitation in as
cribing to the adoption of their pol
Icy. There Is. of course, still great
disparity between the nation-
al wealth and income Of the people
Of Great Britain and that Of the Irish
people; but II the economic ties
which at present bind Ireland to
Great Britain remain unbroken and
the constructive policy of the past
fifteen years be continued, there is
every reason to believe that the Irish
people will make up the greater part
of this leeway within period and

THE EueENIc DELusIoN.

The first International Eugenics
Congress is to be held in London next
month. Like every fad that has ever
been perpetrated, the new science
of Eugenics is being overwoked. En-
thusiasts already see in it the solu-
ton of all the problems of society, the
cure of all the ills Of the race. AS a
lady writer who is hopelessly infected
with the Eugene germ. says in the
Fortnightly Review, "a healthier stron-
er, purer, happier, and wiser race will
be the outcome Of the doctrine of
Eugenics.'' To illustrate the distorted
point of view of this champion of the
spreading fad another sentence may
be quoted from her article. Grant
ing" she says, that the birthrate has
decreased, it has to be, admitted that
this has happened only in the upper
classes, among the people with money
and brains. the very people to pro-
duce the right sort of children, to tend
them and educate them properly after
wards
1t would be hard to write Il sentence
of equal length that would contain a
greater number Of absurdities. Since
when have money and brains become
associated? Since when has the only
essential for the rearing of children
become the mere possession of wealth
Who will say that the rich and the
children of the rich are less dissolute
than the poor?
Eugenics faddists make the old
mistake of focusing their entire at
tention on one element and forgetting
that any other factor is worthy of
consideration. To know what is right,
they think, is to do what is right. If
people are aware of the consequences
OF sin they will avoid sin. This is a
delusion that the history of every
race and every individual explodes.
A man knows that he is running the
risk of being hanged for committing
a crime, and yet he commits the
crime. A man who associates with
lewd company knows the penalty that
is liable to be inflicted on him in the
way of disease. And does that pre-
vent him from falling into sin? De-
cidedly, no. If knowledge of Eugenics
were the only requisite for virtue how
many of our learned doctors of medi-
cine would be saints! And still the
fact Is yet to be demonstrated that
our medical students are less addicted
to vice and crime than the least learn
ed in the laws of Eugenics.
knowledge of sex will never make
men virtuous. To know in advance
the consequences of crime will never
prevent crime. 1t will only inspire
the criminal to use methods to effect
his end and at the same time avoid
the ordinary penalty.
Eugenics is lopsided fad. II We
are to look upon man merely as an
animal, If the ills Of the flesh are his
only Ills, then applying the principles
Of scientific stock raising to the hui
man race may bring desirable results.
But man is rational creature. He
Is endowed with a soul as we'll as a
body AS the soul is superior to the
body his highest perfection must be a
perfection of his soul. Religion. the
Eusenics Of the soul, is, therefore.
more necessary than a knowledge Of
the bodily consequences of sin. This
the Church has always taught and
when the present fad exhausts itself

SOME RADICAL REDUCTIONS

WOOL OUTPUT.

Associated Press.
Washington, Apr. 12.-Radical re-
ductions in the freight rates on wool
transported from western points of
origin to eastern destinations were
discussed today by the interstate
commerce commission.
The commission holds that the ex-
listing rates are unreasonably high
that the blanket system OF making
rates should be discontinued and
graded rates established; that the
rates on wool in bales should be l5
per cent lower than those on wool
in sacks, and that there should be
re-adjustment of the classification
to the advantage of the shippers.
The carriers are expected to con-
form to the suggestions of the com
mission by May l. If by that date
