merits.
There are political reasons as we'll that
operate to increase the sentiment In favor
Of federalism, but neither party is as yet
bold enough to take up the program.
The unionists cannot afford to advocate
home rule all round as a party measure
at the very time when they are resisting
to the last ditch the grant of home rule
to Ireland. On the other hand, the liberal
leaders cannot make the new scheme
part of their program, because it would
mean postponing Irish home rule until
the Scottish. Welsh and English meas
ures were ready for adoption. Then, too.
home rule all round would have to be
submitted to the people in a general cleo
ton and that would negative home rule
as well as the other measures which the
present liberal government is attempting
to pass over the veto Of the house of
lords.
1t is. indeed. one thing to declare for
the general principle Of federalism and
quite another thing to determine what
powers shall be devolved upon the four
inferior parliaments and what powers
shall be retained by the imperial parlfa-
ment. This was the great public question
that dominated all public affairs in the
United States for the first eighty years Of
its existence. then to be only partly ex-
tinguished in a terrible civil war. 1t Is
to be doubted IL such a revolutionary
constitutional change can be accomplish

Labor men of Seattle are, with scarcely an ex-
cepton, for H. c. Gill for mayor against irenholme.
Why have the labor changed? Always be-
fore they have been against Gill; Isn't it reasonable
to suppose that there is a mighty good reason why
they, who have heretofore fought Gill, are for
him.
When the lying Special Interest papers say Gill
supported by the same old crowd, they know they
are lying and all the thousands of CilPs new sup
porters know they are lying.
These Special Interest boosting papers and their
dirty little weekly allies are all barking in a merry
chorus at The Star because of its attitude in this
campaign.
