CAN IRELAND GOVERN IrsKLri

ireland A. n part OF tho British
Commonwealth was divided, North
against South; undsr tho Provisional
Government II IL split thmc ways.
Tho extremists OF thu North are
equally opposed TO tho Republicans
and to tho treaty. Tho Republicans
arc equally opposed 10 tho treaty and
TO Ulster. Adhsrcnts OF tho trcaty
stand between. eager 10 conciliats
both but able to concilinto neither.
In this situation Michael Collins
prophecies that unless there IL an
Immediate change OF tone and tao-
tics II looks ms II civil war can only
be nverted by miracle" and further,
III civil war breaks out. there Ia litti.
doubt tho British will return" This
In sound sense. After centuries OF
Irish rebellion tho British Govern
ment was forced 10 give Ireland "a
chance TO govern itself. Tho treaty
WAS granted with many misxivinGs
OF tho ability OF tho Irish to do whs,
they had fought SO long for tho right
To do. IL was frankly doubted tha,
they could govern themselves And
| now tne trirh rot out To provo thf
worst that has bean expected Of them
by heading toward a civil war over
the acceptance OF terms which might
have grown into national Masnn
Chartn.
Failure OF tho treaty and a return
OF British government In ireland
would como no nearer a solution thar
British government In ireland hal
proved before. Nor would oiyii vai
mend matters. Tho Irish people hav'
been against the Government so ION,
that they have little conception o
what II would be liko 10 be for AM
government, even their own. Unit
they glimpse that state Of mind ant

RAG DOLLS BEST.

A recent survey OF inquiry among
q large number Of children disclosed
that the youngsters preferred rag
dolls to the more artistic and better
dressed mannikins, and the elders also
recalled that they. too, IN childhood,
expressed strong favoritism for these
homely. ill-shapen objects, and can
only account for the liking because
we loved them more"
just why little tots OF girls prefer
the rag baby made at home, often Of
ill-assorted odds and ends, 10 the ar
tistlcally modelled doll OF fine clay or

VALUABLE RELICS.

n Is interesting to learn that Col |
onel Oswald Tnghman OF Easton, Md,
and his son, Major Harrison Tilghman !
of New York City. have assented TO
tho request OF the Maryland Histori-
Gal Society 10 have placed on exhi-
bition In it's new flreproof library in
Baltimore the uniform, sword, silver
spurs and other equipment worn by
their famous ancestor. Colonel Tench
Tilghman, who served as an aide on
the stat, OF General Washington dur
ing the American Revolution. 1t is
surprising that these valued historic
relics have withstood the vicissitudes
OF private ownership and care FOR
nearly a century and half, and 1t is
. great pleasure 10 know that ar
rangements have been made for plac-
Ing them on public view.
Tench Tilghman was one OF those
patriots who served with credit and
distinction throughout the war for
American Independence, and also he
was the hero of a ride that takes place
in history scarcely less commanding
than the famous rides OF Paul Revere
and our own Caesar Rodney. Colonel
Tnghman served with Washington at
Yorktown. and after The surrender
OF Cornwallis was selected 10 convey
