Irish Home Rule Is Coming

The calling of National Constitu-
tional convention in Ireland, regardless
of immediate results, is to be welcomed.
tAltho the delegates are not chosen by
election, and the convention falls short
of democratic ideals in other ways, it
makes possible further advances. If
the convention should be truly represen-
tative of different elem cats in proportion
to popular strength the manner Of selec-
ton may be overlooked. IT,,
There should be no doubt as to rati-
fication by Parliament of the conven-
TONS proposals. The decisions of the
new Irish body may or may not be con-
sidered wise by the governing power in
London, but the right of the governed
to choose their own government does
not depend on wisdom of the choice.
Wise authorities do not believe it
impossible to overcome in an equitable
manner the difficulty presented by the
opposition in Ulster without barring
that section from home rule. So far
as; this Opposition finds open expression
it is due to distrust by one religious
sect Of the good intentions of another.
AT bottom this distrust may be fostered
by tory interests, less concerned about
reghous, matters than Justice to the
Irish, people, as a whole. -

come, the calling of the convention bodies

1T IS TO. SMILE.

1t lis rather hard to refrain from smiling,
or even hoarse boot, when one reads
advice in the city papers, both editorially
and from various and sundry boards of
so-called and alleged experts, crying
frantica]ly to the people of the country
and the country towns to be economical,
saving and patriotic. Such advice is
sound, but coming from the centers of
congested population causes one to some
times wonder why the doctrine that is
so freely preached is not more often
practiced. The people of the small
towns are not eating five, seven or ten
dollar dinners, and the small town papers
are not issuing ."The Latest Extra and
Positively the Latest Late Extra, !"
which no one cares snap about, and
which materially reduce the supply of
print paper. And the people Of the
country and country towns do not need
the admonition to be patriotic for the
simple reason that they have more
genuine patriotism, free from cant and
hypocrisy, and more real Americanism
to the square inch than you will find in
place where hardly any one knows the
next door neighbor, and where human
suffering and human squalidness are
passed by with nothing more helpful
than the uplifted eyebrow and silent
scorn. We rather believe that the
experts and the metropolitan journals
have mans size Job cut out for them
right at home. Winmebago Enterprise.

EDITORS GET POINTERS
ON SAFETY COMMISSION
Members Of State Press Hold In
formal Meeting at Capitol.

A score of editors and publishers Of
newspapers Of the state, outside the
Twin Cities, met Informally with the
Minnesota Safety Commission at the
state capitol Friday, when some of the
plans were discussed.
Magnitude of Work.
C. w. Ames, of the Safety commission,
explained in detail the magnitude of the
task before the Commission and the
people of Minnesota, and the necessity
of united and patriotic action of all
people. The general sentiment expressed
by the editors present was to the effect
that the conference had been of great
value to them, because it has given them
a more accurate understanding of the
situation. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of those present that the press of the
State was actuated by the most patriotic
impulses, was anxious and willing to do
everything in it's power to help the Com
mission in the performance Of its duties.
Press is Gratifying.
Mr.. Ames explained that the COM
mission at this time had no specific re-
quest to make. He was gratifed in the
assurance of the sentiment entertained
by the members Of the press, and at the
confirmation of his belief that the press
would be found in the future as in the
past always willing to do more than its
share.
Regret was expressed that a larger
number of country editors were not
present, but it is possible that they were
not generally informed OF the meeting.
