The Irish problem is largely a local
problem. Recognition Of that fact is
found in much of the fol-
lowing the Asquith letter to the Lon
don Times advocating the largest
measure Of self-govcrnment for Ire
land, still, however. within the Brit
ish empire. 1t is pointed out that the
weak spot in the argument Of the
former premier lis that IL fails 10 sug-
gest any mlcthod of dealing with the
GlEter question and bring tho north
and the south OF ireland together.
The element which has prevented
Irish home rule is not British reluc-
lance. but fractional division in Ire
land itself. n third OF a. century ago
Britain could have solved the prob
lem which then existed, and tine solu-
ton then in sight would have prevent
ed the development OF the problem
as 1t a appeared in its later stages.
The Gladstone home rule plan would
have been accepted by all ireland. 1t
was not popular in the north. and in
eO "ANA " "NS " SA IL
tircly adequate. But it would have
been accepted by both sections, and
once in operation, the plan would have
justified and protected itself.
That opportunity was lost, or, rath-
er. was thrown away. The House Of
Lords has been roundIy denounced for
the failure, but it must be remember
ed that when Gladstone made his APP
peal to the people they rejected it.
1t was Il case of partial franchise. in
adequate information and the follow
ing OF wrong leadership. But the
mischief was done, and the country
is suffering for it.
Asquith proposes, among other
IN treaty making. This brings up a
feature which is often overlooked in
discussions OF the Irish question. Ire
land has had a voice in the making
OF treaties, II in all other matters of
government, because Ireland has been
represented in the British parliamen
by i large delegation of members
whose voice was as influential in the
shaping of national and domestic Dol-
icica as was the voice OF n other
delegation. Whatever may be the

not correct to say that Ireland has
been governed from without and has
no representation in tho governing

A fair sample of the methods en-
ployed Is found in the history Of the
Consumers Stores. That organization
was advertised as a ~co-cperatiye en-

duced to subscribe money to it with
that understan ding. And yet there is
in the scheme the faintest symp-
tom OF cooperation. The concern
was organized az a close corporation
with all the stock in the hands Of Bir.
Townley or persons named by him.
Townlcy and his appointees had the
entire management in their own
hands. Tbs subscribing farmers
merely supplied the funds, most of
which were diverted to political pur-
poses.

VOTE 1T

II the citizen who goes to tho polls
next month wishes to insure the eff
fectiveness Of his vote for the hest
obtainable in government in nation
and state. he will best achieve that
object by voting a straight ticket.
TO vote n straight ticket In this
election does not mean to follow y
party label all the way down the bal
lot. Party labels have become 40
mixed that they are meaningless. Put
ting a preserve label on n jar of
pickles does not make preserves OF
the contents. The pickle remain
sour. no matter what the label. And
attaching a party label to a candidate
or a faction does not bring the candi-
date or the faction into accord with
the spirit which is usually associate
with the label.
On the North Dakota ballot there
is a square at the top OF each party
column. and the voter who places a
cross In that square votes for every
candidate whose name appears in that
column unless in particular cases he
places crosses opposite the names of
individuals in other columns. To

Is usually called voting a straight
ticket. That description is faulty as
applied to this election.
II the voter in this election is guild

than one column the names OF the
candidates who represent his attitude

Hoctalistic, theories are also coon

Every socialistic experiment under

the democratic form which includes
