For Mercy to Ireland

THREE of the leaders of the so-called Irish
/ republic tried by court-martial and con-
rlcted of high treason, have been shot to
death. These executions probably were
necessary. but we hope there will be no more
of them. Mercy becomes the British govern
ment better than rigor
Less than two years ago Sir John French
comma nder of the forces that put down the
Irish revolt, was himself in virtual revolt
against Great Britain. He not only
pardoned, but elevated TO high place in the
confidence OF the empire, and yet his guilt
was far greater than that Of The poor fellows
who aided in perpetrating this later folly.
If MIR. Asquith had been less mercful when
Carson and French were in rebellion, their
Ulster example might not have been initiated
in dublin. The more reason, at any rate
for mercy now.
