Lloyd George announces that
Dublin and the south Of Ireland
will be taxed to repay the ten
million dollars destroyed in the
Dublin customs house. This win
make English taxpayers feel bet
ter, but viii not do much to set
tie the Irish problem.
The mishandling of the Irish
revolution and of the great coal
strike indicates that the manage
ment of Great Britain tired itself
out in the war. Englands ex-
istence depends upon manufactur-
srs and exports. The English
could no more live on their land
than the inhabitants of city
tenement could live on the back
yard. To allow coal strike to
shut down INDUSTRY throughout
ia the nation, in order to oblige
mine owners that produce nothing,
was not brilliant.

Prince Hirchito, SON Of the Mix

battleship Katori. Ambassadors
and high dignitaries meet him and
bow low. The young man may
end by saying to himself: 81 be-

even decide foolishly that the son
of heaven ought to rule on both
sides of the Pacific.
That would be disaster for

New France does the same about
the Prince of japan. 1t Is folly,
for all those princes and their
payroll must be abolished before
men really begin to rule them
selves. The world is rid of the
Romanoffs, Hohenzollerns, Haps-
burgs and some others. All the
divine right breed must go even
tually, even though their going
will wound the hearts of snobs.
Among animals, murder and the
