WHAT IRELAND NEEDS

What Ireland needs is mOney-money for edu- cation for industry for agriculture No amount of bloodshed will give chemical fertilizer; but fac tory will, and that's what need. We need little light railways and water power and need our mines working-oh, and lot of things. If some Of you big chaps will drop little money by way of investment i'll Ireland, it will do for the country than gun running. England is going to give Ireland her freedom that is certain She'll have make Ire land free Canada-dominion home rule But when that comes, then the real work begins. We've got to shake loose of politicians If don't we'll be eaten up by them"
 English, you mean?" asked William

 There's nothing wrong with the Irish" he said to us; they the kindes hearted people in the world. But there's a kind of noxous vermin that politics breed. and that's where trouble comes. and trouble it is. The Irish politician my boyhave you studied the breed?"
 Yes answered William
 Well, well, and you young!" said Father Murphy. Why, look you now, we've had local self government for many years the Irish cities by Irishmen, Engshmen interfering at all in that. And do you think that brought freedom? Take, now, the corporation in this city, Irish And your glance through this fat report, and what do you find? Rotten sum property owned by mem bers of the corporation fifty people using the closet and that very dirty one; crowdng, disease, immortality; protests filed, and nothing done I tell you lad, it's ourselves must watch When We get country back again. and shall live it, then make the fine deeds of these young boys These grand young fellows go out and die free Ireland but all they do will be wasted if still have the old crowd top.'-Arthur Glea- son, in the Century.

Colonial Loyalty

England may well be proud of the loyalty which its colonial possessions have shown in it's hour of need. There is question but the astute of the German leaders figured that with the engage ment of England in more serious business India would spring into open revolt Instead, 27 of the greatest rulers divisions India rendered troops the overord country at the outbreak of the and hundreds of thousands of men of India have sought and been of service to English This from a nation in semi -subjugaton argues well f1r loyalty for Indian revolt under the circum s-.,.res would have been a difficult matter vtt
 fwo things shown by the way India is acting la, Jhat the English colonial rule in this case has he5tctcd he aion otherwise there would have been a general revolt The other is that after the is England should show it's appreciation by grant ing india concessions which have, in the past been o,ned her. Among those concessions should be rraater her loyalty.
 In India the native Indian the son of Indian is allowed hold office in the army If a dependency has shown that its army loyal the Indian dependency has, and since it is quite evident that in of necessity the only defense of India would De the Indian army, is only fair that the army should be officered by Indians
