PRESS COMMENTS.
JOHN REDMOND.

If Ireland could have followed where
John Redmond led it might have had
Home Rule years ago. He was n strong
leader, and "A wise' one He had the adj
mirable qualities of the Irish character
without its defects; it was the defects
exempliiied in the unrcasonableness and
violent agitations of the Sim Fem party
and their like that baflled his best efforts.
From the time he entered the House
of Commons hirty-sevcn years ago,
Redmond labored with lnccssant zeal,
wisely, temperately, with the insight
and foresight of statesman, to solve the
perplcxing problem of Ireland. He WAS
a supporter Of Parnell, and tried to hold
the party together after ParnclPs death.
His parliamentary competence and pos
ton were high; he had the respect even
Of Englishmen altogether opposed TO
Home Rule The difficulties that con
frontcd him were created on the one hand
by the irreconcilablc elements, to whom
no method but violence was acceptable,
and on the other hand by the Ulster
opposition He might have done for
Ireland what enlightened statesmen OF
the type of Milukoff would have done for
Russia after the revolution, but both in
Ireland and in Russia there were ele-
mcnts that rejected all counsels Of en-
lightened craftsmanship and were not to he
turned aside from the paths that lead to
ruin.
In his devoted loyalty To the govern
ment after the outbreak of the war Red
mond set an example which all Ireland
should have followed, since that was the
one sure WAY to win the freedom and privi-
leges of Home Rule The party of un-
reason and of violence chose rather TO
enter into conspiracics with agents of
Great Britains enemies. which was the
worst possible service they could have
rendered to their own cause and TO the
cause Of Ireland. Rcdmond's death is an
irreparable loss To the Nationalist party
for it is difficult 10 see who can take
his place.-Ncw York Times

SPRINGS DRIVE.

Spring will shortly launch her drlN
All the winter long she's planned
How To set the fields alive
How to free the frozen land
Soon the trenches she will storm
With her gentle sun and ram.
And with mornings that are warm
She will win the world again
From each field and hill and stream
She will drive the tyrant strong.
And her cannonade will seem
Nothing but robin song
All her troops are marshaled now,
Keen and eager for the fray,
And with blossoms round her brow
Spring will brayely lead the way
Men may charge with shot and shell
Men may curse and scatter death,
Men may make tie world a hell.
But with perfume on her breath
And with blossoms in her hands
Spring shall wage lovely STRIFE
And to dead and frozen lands
Bring the magic gifts ot HE.
Winter from his throne shall tall
Every brook that seeks the sea
Shall awake at sprlngtlmc's $ call
And resume its reVelry
There shall be no cries Of pam.
No dead eyes at God TO stare
Men shall find along her train
Only life and blossoms rare.

THE ALLIES AND RUSSIA.

| From the AIries there should now 60
forth to the Russian people the mes
/ sage that the democratic nations OF the
west arc pledged TO the policy OF self
! determination which WAS IN the minds
! Of the men who made the revolution OF
| last March, which WAS IN the minds
| nf men and women like kcrensky,
| TchcrnofT RreShkovskaya, TscrCtPllI,

| neers of Russian freedom, which was IN
the minds of the Ukraine, Of Finland,
and OF the other lost lands until the
holy war Of the Bolshcvih frightened
them into the arms Of Germany. Tn
der this scheme the Russia of the czar
WAS 10 become Russia Of federated

success of thcir own revolution =, unity
became essential to the thirteen states
after Yorktown. Instead Of this Bol-
shcvik folly and the German armies
have brought upon Russia dismcmhcr
mcni and civil war
Yet We may he sure that tins ideal %
unity in freedom Is far from dead in
the hearts 0f the Russian people To
this ideal the Allies should address
themselves. The pledge of our national
honor that we are fighting for the pres
crvation of the revolution and Of the
unity Of the Russian peoples Is the al

the haTbor up to the standard and improv-
ing it, for, notwithstanding the present
status of the matter, there is no assurance
that the government will continue to
pursue single-handed policy Sub
stantial early action by the city authorities
therefore seems necessary, not only TO
make our harbor better than it Is, but even
10 keep what we have in the way OF ac-
complishment in this direction.
In this behalf it is question whether
the policy of long-term lecses on CITY
wharves Mt low rentals, which has been
the rule here for some time, Is wise,
particularly at this time and in view oil the
possibilities of the future. Until 1T is
known just what the municipal require
ments will be in carrying out develop
ment policy, it might be advisable to per-
init only short-term leases until II is found
expcdient 20 do otherwise. Under the law
creating il, the Harbor Commission has
the power ''to make, adopt and enforce
bylaws. rules and regulations regarding

and receive the income thcuefrom; also
TO fix, regulate and collect rates or charges
for wharfage, tonnage and other services
rendered in the loading and unloading
of vessels or other carriers and also such
warehouse and storage charges as 1t may
determine" Therefore. the wharf matter
appears to be entirely within the purvuc
Of the board. and no doubt after the pres
ent leases expire it VIII he in position
10 determine what to do in the future.
The wharvcs are an important city asset
and they should be available at frequent
intervals, unless it is To the advantage OF
the city to adopt different policy with

oyERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY

The decisive vote by which the John
son amendment was rejected in the
Senate will end for the time the talk Of
government ownership Of the railroads
50 far as Congress Is concerned but II
does not dispose of the responsib ility Of til
government TO the owners of the railroad
It is beyond reason to think that the
lines will be turned back to their owners
under exactly the same conditions that
prevailed when they were taken over.
Extended experience with transportation
problems already has convinced men of
high standing that postwar conditions
will be vastly different from any hitherto
known II would therefore seem a wise
course TO provide for immediate needs
Of operation, with view 10 later formu-
hting such legislation as the lessons we
are learning teach us IS wise. This IS
apparently what the Senate has in view
the broad and deep questions involved IN
railroad operation are not such as Will be
settled off-hand, but it IS well to know
that the Congress does not contemplate
indefinite governmental operation of the
roads Prudent discharge Of present re-
sponsibilities will occupy sufficiently the
time that can he given to the problem aside
from other important matters and the
final disposition Of the whole question
NAV easily rest on the assurance that ultI-
mately the roads will be returned to the
