Attempts to Settle Ireland

It would be rash to assume that
the withdrawal of Sir John Maxwell
from Dublin is the first step toward
that Cancellation of Nationalist Ire
land" in which so many disinterested
Liberals profess to see a clear and
simple way out of current difficulties
and misunderstanding. But there
can be little doubt about the wisdom
of putting so popular and thorough
an Irishman as Sir Bryan Mahon in
the room Of the efficient Scot who,
whatever his merits as an admins
traitor, did not contrive in the days
following the rebellion to win the
tearts Of the Irish populace.
Nationalist Ireland, using the
phrase in its broadcast sense, is not
inclined at present for Cancellation,
and Mr.. Redmond would lose what
ever credit he has if he were to hint
at it so long as there is any talk of
compulsory service. 1t is well known
that, in proportion, Ireland has so
far furnished fewer men to the army
than England, Scotland or Wales. 1t
is equally well known that there is a
strong demand in England for the
extension of the military service act
to Ireland; and not without reason,
for, according TO the most trust
worthy estimates, 100000 or more
might be raised in this way. Con-
cessions to Ireland are therefore
looked upon with distrust as brides
designed only to raise troops.
Mr.. Redmond has asked the gov
eminent ''to take their courage in
both hands and trust the Irish people
once and for all by putting the Home
Rule act into operation, and reso-
lutely, on their own responsibility,
facing any problems that may en-
tail" But Mr.. Redmond was himself
a party to the agreement that during
the war the act should be suspended,
and his opponents, with some show Of
reason, insist that nothing has hap
pened since to encourage confidence
in the Irish people, or even to con-
vince Englishmen of Mr.. Redmond's
standing as the leader or spokesman
of the Irish people generally.
On the other hand, Mr.. Redmond is
not inclined to trust in the promises
of politicians, and at the moment it
seems very unlikely that he would
consent TO reopen negotiations. He
accepted a serious risk in entering
Upon negotiations before, and the
treatment he received was not ca
couraging. The government on their
own responsibility might offer some
sort of settlement, but short of that
they can hardly expect much help
from him.
Supposing, however, that Home
Rule during the war is out of the
question, it might yet be possible to
give over Ireland in some measure
20 the management of Irishmen who
possibly know their people better
than the most well-meaning English
men. Mr.. Frederic Harrison has
suggested that the ideal government
Of Ireland, for the time being, would
be an Irish executive triumvirate COM
posed OF Mr.. Redmond, Sir Edward
Carson and Lord Dunraven. At any
rate, some arrangement of the sort

The Week on The Farm

With prices high for every
thing the farmer produces, or at
least everything that he should
produce, the present affords our
golden opportunity. Foods and
feedstuifs are "out of sight "
but why should this worry the
"sure-enough' farmer? If he
has been farming in the right
way, sugar, coffee, salt, and a
few other small things should be
about all he needs to buy in the
food line and a good flock of
hens will lay enough eggs to do
this.
In other words, the Iive-at-
home farmer who has cut his
grocery bills down to practically
nothing, has now, with cotton
high, tobacco high, in fact. all
the so-calIed cash crops high, a
wonderful opportunity for get
ting ahead, for putting some
money in the bank against the
rainy days that always come.

DEMOCRACIC EDITORIAL MEET
ING AT JEFFERSON CITY,

THE meeting Of the Democratic ed
itors in Jefferson City last week was
attended by members Of the profes-
sion from all parts Of Missouri and
the visitors had a most interesting and
delightful time. Col Fred Gardner
and Senator James A. Reed addressed
the editors by Telephone from Kansas
City. and speeches were made by
Lieutenant Governor Painter and J.
Kelly Pool, cordially endorsing the
ticket and predicting an increased
Democratic majority in Missouri
Governor Painter made a most i'm
pressive talk on the financial condi-
ton Of the State, and referred a,
length TO the splendid management Of
the Missouri Penitentiary. Governor
Painter most certainly punctured the
arguments made by some Of the Re
publican spell = binders regarding
grand old Missouri a nd its institu
tons. The report from all parts 0
the State indicated that the entirI
Democratic ticket would sweep thu
State by one of the largest MAORI
ties we have had for years.
