Scot on Home Rule

The British point of view on the Irish
home-rule question has never been set forth
more clearly or in better temper than in Ian
Hays little book, THE Oppressed English"
Ian Hay is Scotch. or, as he calls himself, a
Scotsman. He reminds us that Scotland
has historical grievances as great as those
of Ireland Instead of nursing their trou-
bles the Scotch go into England and grow
rich and they seize the Offices in the lmperi-
al Government and rule the empire. A Scot,
he says, is leading the British armies in
France, another is commanding the British
grand fleet. a third directs the imperial
general stan at home; the Lord Chancellor
is Scotch and so are the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and the Foreign Secretary The
Irish, however, insist on home rule ignor-
ing the fact that they have as much home
rule as Scotland, and the other fact that
they have more influence in the rule of the
empire than any corresponding number of
Englishmen, Scotsmen or Welshmen When
the Nationalist party announced the ire
ducible minimum OF their demands In 1914
they insisted on managing their local af-
fairs without interference from London, and
they also insisted that they should continue

self to inventing new ways TO bring the
young man and the young woman into the
necessary juxtaposition and to devising new
forms of separation. The shipwrecR on a
desert island has played its part in many

aeroplane and a plotting scoundret for get

civilization. They had never met until they
awoke from the effects Of a drug on the
shore of a lake in the Canadian woods The
young man is a novelist who suspects that
a friend who says his women are unreal

to get him in contact with real woman
in unconventional surroundings. They do
not suspect what has happened until they
are finally rescued by the man who they
thought had played the joke. They are in

and they are contemporary expressions of
the war spirit. You remember the tri-
umphant song of Moses after crossing
the Red Sea. And how he said
Thy right hand, o Lord, dasheth in pieces
the enemy.
And in the greatness of Thine excellency
Thou. overthrowest them that rise up
against Thee;
Thou sendest forth Thy wrath, it consumeth
them as stubble.
And with the blast Of Thy nostrils the
waters were piled up
The floods stood upright as heap;
The deeps were CONCEALED In the heart OF
the sea.
This war has not thus far produced
anything to rival the song of Moses, "
I went on. 1.-THE Had if my recollec-
ton is not at fault, belongs in the same
class with Paul Revere's Ride In that 1t
was produced long after the events which
It describes. The most interesting poetry
about war is like Tennysons Charge of
the Light Brigade and The Marseillaise,
that were written under the inspiration
of the period. The Great Bell Roland,
Theodore Tiltons recruiting poem that
appeared soon after Lincoln called for
volunteers, is another OF the same class.
So are Richard Hoveys The Word of the
Lord from Havana and Guy Wetmore
Carryls When the Great Gray Ships

"One characteristic OF much of the
present war verse that have regretted, -
said Doctor McFabre, ''is the spirit OF
hate that seems TO inspire IT, The Ger
man Song Of Hate has been condemned by
the Allies, but their poets seem to hate
the Germans as much as the Germans
hate the English"
"But why shouldn't every decent man
hate the Germans?" Ames wanted to
know. "They have been guilty OF most
outrageous crimes against civilization"

direction of Ames. Then suddenly looked
away and blushed.
"I wish the poets had your tolerant
temper" said I. "If Lincoln had been a
poet he would have put the spirit OF his

Municipal Ownership

If any one is seeking for a brief and COM
pact summary of the arguments in support
OF municipal ownership OF public utilities he
will find II i'm a handbook prepared by Carl
ID, Thompson. The author reviews the rapid
growth OF municipal ownership in the
United States and gives figures. to prove
his case. He says that private ownership
OF public utility even under public regula-
tion, is wrong in principle, and gives rea.
sons, and he cites numerous instances
where public regulation has failed to regu-
late. Where he cites the profitable expert
ence of cities in owning utilities he accepts
the figures of the municipal reports, which
are notoriously inaccurate, as they are not
based on any sound system of business ac-
counting. Yet those persons who believe
there should be no profit will not be troubled
by the indifference of municipal account
ants to those elements of cost which pri-
vate producers have to consider
