a little scrap of ground on which to raise pota-
toes for himself and family. If he improved the
farm his rent was raised. If he didn't improve
it, he was ousted. He never know when his rent
was coming due, as the ajority of the landlords
those owning large holdings, were ao-
sentees, depending on resident agents to 40 the
job of turning the screws on this economic rack
So close were the people kept to the verge
of starvation, a failure of the potato crop in
1945 caused two millions to perish of starvation.
And such were the extortions permitted under
the system the of ambition in the great
majority of the people was entirely paralyzed
and they became thriftess, careless, ne'er-do-
wells, criminally disposed and nursing the most
bitter hatred of the English, the English flag
and all things that flourished in its shadow.
Although this system is entirely changed
and the agricultural population of Ireland is now
entering into an era of prosperity as never be-
fore dreamed, the ills and cleavages caused by it
hold over until the present and explain the bridge
less gap between Ulster and the other provinces
of Ireland.
1t is, therefore, easy to understand why the
Usterities storm with fury at the very notion
of placing their province under the domination
of parliament which, in the very nature of the
case would be composed Of Roman Catholic ag-
riculturists.
Added to this is the fact that the Obstetrics
are whole heartedly loyal to the British crown
and almost fanaticaly devoted to the English
church, while, the other hand their fellow
Irishmen are equally devoted to the Roman Cath
Ollie church and almost equally in earnest IN
despising English rule. In fact, during the Brit
sh-Boer war, southern Irshmen sent a regi-
ment to Africa to assist the Beers in the hopes
they might do something to defeat the hated
British troops.
Meanwhile, England herself is having her
difficulties. She has a landlord system of her
own to combat. Her politics are woefuly split
into factions. The landlords Tory party is at
the throat Of the manufacturers Liberal party
The Labor party is jumping onto both, while

The real sistuation at Ulster But it would SEEM
so far some study of the records will reveal
that the taproot of the entire situation lies in
the two economic systems which, until recent
times, divided Ireland between them.
The Irish in the province of Ulster have long
had the system of tenant right in its agricu-
tural districts. This method, to use the words
of an authority on the subject, was that man
should be allowed to remain in undisturbed pos
session of his farm as long he paid his rent );
that he should be entitled, giving up the land,
TO compensation for unexhausted improvements,
and that he should be at liberty to sell the good
viii of his farm for what it would fetch in the
market
With this system of land tenure in vogue,
the Obstetrics were able to save money, to de-
velop the country, to build big towns to create
great industrial interests and to open up in
ternational trade. Along with it, they had the

advantages that go with fairly good education

Ringing the Liberty Bell

81 declare the musical independence of Amer
icar'
With these stirring Words the veteran editor
of Musical America concludes one of the most
thrilling declarations ever made to the music
loving circles of this country. In the form OF an
editorial covering the front page of recent issue
of his we'll known journal, Mr.. Freund calls to
his fellow Americans to desist from their slavish
Difference to things European, merely because
they are European. He asserts we have no cause
to blush when comparing our own talent with
that of Germany and is not afraid to say II stand
for the American composer, musician, singer
music teacher, player, critic l believe them not
only equal to the best, but to be the best!'
How refreshing it is to learn through this au-
thorty that ''materialistic" are, Grass as
we may be, yet manage to spend six hundred
million dollars a year music, ten times what
Germany spends and greater than the music
budget of all Europe.
Just because of our lack of confidence in our
own artists and child-like faith in the foreigner,
we send our young talents to the Continent where
they spend seven to eight millions year to sit
at the feet of teachers who not one whit better
than our own if Freund's word is accepted. The
general standard of musical performance in this
country is today higher than it is in Europe.
dents a swarm of charlatans have sprung up in
Europe They wear long hair, they ape the man
nerisms of the masters and pretend to be gen
iuses-for which service they tax our boys and
girls a very considerable
And such we'll informed musicians Walter
Damrosch Maude Powell and Alma Gluck do not
hesitate to suggest dangers of a graver kind
which threaten not only the ability, but the char
lact Of StldVlnp abroad.
Damrosch said that when he w in Europe
twenty years ago he had met many Of our young
girls who had been stripped of everything, their
money, their honor, their very belief in God
Mr.. Freund urges that we get our musical
education at home. Not only are tai
ents equal to the foreigner, our musical equip
ment is also as good There is nothing finer
than the American concert grand piano, the
American harp and the American guitar, mando
/ lin and band Instruments he writes.
This we'll known musical authority is not ar
enthusiast suddenly taken to undertaking, but g
seasoned critic of more than forty years exper
fence in public life He is not prejudiced as is
shown by his urging not to credit a musician
just because he happens to be German or French
or even American, but to patronize him because
he has talent. 1t is ability, he holds, and not
name that entities an artist to distinction.
! From poll Of the press, it is evident few
things have stirred the music world here o.
abroad as this utterance American authorize:

Mavor Robbins New Move.

The very essence of efficiency in municipal
government is that matters of public policy shall
be settled by the public, and that the actual
work of putting policies into effect shall be done
by specially trained men. 1t was on this plat
form that mayor Robbins elected to office.
So far as has been possible, under the circum-
stances the cty's business has been carried on
in business-like manner. Where business-ike
progress has not been made is owing, for the
most part, to factors over which the officials
have control
The domination of the city by the state has
been one of these factors. Because OF ObS0les-
cent state laws, a professional sanitarian could
not be appointed, and because of an awkward
statute it is probable the city will find itself I'M
able to do it's own street oiling.
The limitation of the city's revenues is an
other important factor. If those who harbor
the delusion that city can't go broke will only
study the budget ordinance for use during this
year, they will have their eyes opened, Many who
raucously demanding why the city "dont
do this or "dont do that will have better
understanding after that study, if such unre-
fleeing critics kno whow to study.
These financial limitations effectively debar
from office professional experts in the various
lines of public works. Dayton had to pay a man
$4,000 to manage her affairs, and $4,000 to each
department head in order to get men who were
thoroughly trained for the position. 1t is pre-
rosterous to think of Richmond paying any such
salaries, even in proportion, and even If she were
willing, with the present revenues.
To overcome these handicaps has so occupied
The mind of the new administration it is Just
row finding time to turn from its executive
duties to take up the other side Of the public s
husiress--the question of public policies.
The one best way OF enabling the citizenship
10 decide these problems of policies is through
the initiative referendum and recall. But that
Glo to a state constitution that has become 70
mantle with age, is out of the question. How
then can the public be given voice in the con
3.deration Of its policies?
The obvious answer is to make the people {
al of the city government unofficially by TAX
ng them into it's confidence and by having pub
ic discussions of public problems.
1t is to accomplish this that the city officials
have arranged for public meetings where these
4Uestions-such as relate to policies con
.elning new system of street illumination, play
hreshed out in open forum, and where the ad
nnistration may be given some notion of what
he people expecting of it.
Mayor Robbins and his colleagues have nov
placed squarely on the shoulders of the people
he responsibilities that belong there. If thu
citizens do not measure up to these responsible
les. they will prove true what the enemies O.
popular rule are always saying, they will prove
hat the people are not fitted for self-gOvern

Around table at the polls we sat,

Around table at the polls we sat,
Men of diverse opinions, different minds,
Each with his way of life his many kinds
Of interest; were lean and some were fat,
But all were conscious of common cause:
The clear resolve to give each man his due;
This vOting-p became sacred pew,
To which still Voice preached the higher laws:
The laws that make for real brotherhood,
And most often felt in troubous times

Upward and onward, even in days of blood
The spirit which mere debate can move
Some call it Honor, but call it Love.
