it is hard at first TO realize
that ireland does not hold any

that Scotland is hot on the trail
also. In the summer issue of "The
Scottish Review" "a quarterly q
certain writer who signs himself
Zone Of the Onlookers" takes UP
the question of Home Rule for Scot
land and furnishes quite g clear
picture Of the situation to date.
This writer says:
"The position nowadays Is that, with
very few exceptions, the entire Scot.
fish nation ie ranged on the side OF
Home Rule. With practical unanimity
the nation has Endorsed the claim to

election addresses contained pledges 60
the effect that the Couponite. ii elected
would vote for Home Rule, and there
IS no reason TO suppose that any OF
the successful candidates belonging to
that faction would prove false to their
pledges.
Nevertheless, the Lloyd Georgian
party in Scotland is not officially COM
mitted 10 Home Rule. and the proba-
bility Is that had it not figured on the
Labor programme at the last general
election we should have heard much
less about it from Coupon Candidates
than was actually the case"
Fhus we are confronted with the
seeming paradox: the spectacle Of
an entire nation in favor Of GER
tain principle, yet doing little if
anything to carry it into effect.
This deadlock, the writer explains.
springs from two or three sources.
Much Of the popular apathy, he de-
ctares, is due to "the nature of the
home Rule proposals themselves. +"
Then there are the leaders of polit-
lcai thought TO consider in this CON
nection, and, finally, the historic
grounds. In this latter connection
we read:
Roughly speaking, the Home Rule
movement In Scotland may be said
10 have commenced with the passing
OF the act, or. rather, Treaty Of Union
of 1907. That Illegal and preposterous
compact fairly sent the music hum
ming through the fiddle. Now the
Scottish commonnIty has reula rkably
retentlve memory 40 far as certain
outstanding facts Of the later his.
tory OF this country are concerned.

the various Jacobite risings were as

tcractions of their reai life counter

Even the molodrama realism was
aimed nt, an exactitude of detail and
Il naturalness Of manner the better to
emphasize tho ntrangenoss Of incidents.
Then the war came, and truth
surpassed tragedy. Reality became
too awful for realism, life too
dramatic for drama. Tnstinctively
managers realized the necessary
readjustmcnt. Above all, ICY had to
please Tommy. And Tommy looked for
color and pretty faces, music and fun,
farce and fancy-in u word, unreality.
So he got musical comedy and revue.

they shamcle ssly swallowed almost the

in it's turn enlarging its dimensions

but the Labor party's attitude to
Home Rule is rather ar extraordinary
than an ordinary example of that kind
Of thing. The other political parties
IN Scotland are still much in arrears

the cause Of 'local autonomy Il Is
