The Irish Convention

Nothing has been heard from tn" Irish Conven-
ton in the ten days since it opened it's s'SsI"ls'
when Sir Horace Plunkett was installed as "halr-
man with cordial unanmty and an entire absence
Of excitement reported. Although the irish
question may appear from the outside as ~Ing III
almost az bad muddIe as at any previous time III
the past century, not t" 2" back further yer 'heFe
are several elements in the situation which make
final set emcnt just to the whole people seem fairly
attanabIp within short time.
Besides the convention itself whose harmonious
opening is good sign, there is the aIembIc OF the
great war in which thousands Of the best men or
the Unionist and Nationalist parties are joined IN
fighting for the empire This great fact should con-
vince the rabid Llsterite leaders that the Nation
alists NAV he trusted in an Irish parliament with
the problems of local self-government. for men like
Major William Redmond who lately made the SUI
preme sacrifice on the battlefield are not likely to
be enemies of the imperial system that they have Of
fered their lives to defend.
Another element in the situation which makes
for alayng the discomfort that in times past made
Irish politics bitter is the improved condition of the
agricultursts of the southern counties due to the
gradual elimination of landOrdsm by liberal
enactments.
The disastrous result of the overt attempt of the
Sim Feiners to establish an Irish republic indepen
dent of the British empire, made time more fav-
orable for such coup than is likely ever to occur
again, should he efectua as a warning, not only to
that fanatcal party but to the Ulstertes whO under
the lead of Sir Edward Carson by seditiOus demon
stratons prevented the home rule bill of the impe
rial parliament from taking effect. Ulster has been
guided by both business and religious prejudices in
opposing local self-government for the island. 1t
has been afraid both of the Catholic majority on
general principles and of taxation by that majority
which would discriminate against the big business
of the north of Ireland, that being the seat of the
industrial strength of the island while the rest of it
lives mainly by agriculture.
As for the remainder of the United Kingdom, the
opposition to home rule for Ireland has been it may
be believed, permanently overcome When liberal
ideas relating to the matter have prevailed so far
to have the veto power of the house of lords abro
gated for their sake, to that extent home rule has
achieved successful revolution. With coalition
cabinet in charge of affairs, the house of commons
has said to the Irish people, "Come together and
settle the problem for yourselves"
If the FISHERMEN, profting by the lessons of the
war, meet the opportunity in conciliatory spirit,
there is no doubt that the Sim Feiners will that
their dreams of absolute independence are chimer-
3ieal. The home rule party led by John Redmond,
having proved its loyalty to the empire may be de-
pended upon to stand for anything reasonable

EDITOR
Where College Athletes Failed

College athletics ~ generally conducted have
made poor showing in the cnIi>ting Of students
for military Arvic" IN connection with the present
war. In tn" first call Of the government. for thou
sands Of students and recent graduates t" enter the
training camps for officers. there were not enough
available Intercollegiate athletes meet 20 per cent
Of the need Thousands of the college seniors and
recent graduates were unable to pass the physical
examinations
This disappointing state Of affairs is not charge
able to lack Of merit in physical training itself but
to the fact that comparatively few students receive
such training in anything like adequate" measure.
DR. William T. Foster. president of Reed College,
made the revelation in an address before the Ma
tiOnal EducatOn Association. He said that ma
oritv of these men had been without incentives and
equp ment for athletic training Statistics furnish
ed by l43 universities and colleges engaged in inter
collegiate athletics were quoted by him. showing
that only about II per cent of the total male stu
dents participated in the games, and that not half
the students in these institutions engage in any
form of systematic or organized exercise. Further,
81 per cent of these institutions are reported as
doing nothing to foster and encourage the types
of physical exercise and healthfu recreation that
student is likely to use in aftPr-COegp life
DR.. Foster said that these colleges spend about
sixty times as much money for each member of
intercollegiate team az they spend for the games of
each Of the other Students. In this opinion he
echoes statement attributed to the president of
Williams College on previous occasion to this
effect I'VE are annually graduating a few men of
extraordinary athletic ability and many men of I'M
developed intellectual power. In athletics few
only are highly trained. the majority not at ALL"
According to DR.. Foster he is further quoted.
1.-The only policy through which a college can meet
it's obligations agency of national defense is
to have no intercollegiate games, but inexpensive
athletics in moderation for all Students especially
for those that most need Them.
Perhaps a similar indictment to that here report
ed against colleges might lie against nOn-coegiate
EXAMINATIONS for general athletics and particular
games. OF the membership of a large proportion
of these may it not be said that many are enrolled
but few are trained?
Another interesting point not developed by this
writer is whether the state universities where mill
tary instruction is compulsory do not make better
record than such institutions Yale. Harvard
Princeton, Stanford, where military training is un-
known.

COOPERATION, PREPAREDNESS, PEACE.

Official and personal expressions exchanged by
the governor of the territory and the high commits
sioner of Japan leave nothing to be added in this
advance post towards keynoting the goodwill pre-
yailing between these nations of the Pacific and
their unity in facing the enemy of the pres
ent period.
1t was very happy circumstance that enabled
the governor to announce at this time the organza
ton of company of national guardsmen from
among citizens of japanese parentage This added
participation in the community life furnishes fur
ther testimony to the practical success of the Amer
lean ideal where the Orient and the Occident meet
Honolulu has thus far been remote from the
war, not only physically but mentally. 1t has not
and does not appreciate the full significance of the
great struggle. The demand for vigilance and un-
failing unity among all those pitted against the
enemy of democracy has not lone to the aver
age citizen and even some minor officials with the
force justified by the seriousness of conditions.
The visit of the commission is a reminder that
the peace of the Pacific is vital factor in the last
ing peace Of the world. The preparedness, the mu-
tua understanding and the cooperation that exists
in these islands in large measure sets standard
for the nations 1t should be a constant reminder
to our citizens of their great responsibilities.
