SIZE CONSTITUTION or THE
IRISH FREE sTATn

a late issue Of the Youths Comgan-
Ion, Boston, comments on the regently
adopted Constitution Of the Irish Free
St&te as follows:
The new constitution has been draf.
tGd and Is so liberal an instrument
tLa' one can harry conceive Of irs +: G.
Ing rejected. 1t Is never possible In
Irish affairs to be sure of the future,
hut at the present moment the 0mens
are favorable. The murder Of Sir
Henry Wilson has shocked Eng
land and checked the growing good
will between the tive countries. But
the net is abhorred by almost all Irish
men and cannot be expected to change
nm arrangement In which the great
majority of Irishmen and Englishmen
have acquisced.
The new constitution declares the
Irish Free State to be 'cOequal mem
Der Of the community Of nations form
Ing the British Commonwealth Of ma
tions" and requires every member OF
the Irish parliament to take An oath
Of allegiance to the King Of Great Hrf-
tain aud Ireland who is in his person
the symbol of the tie that unites the
Dritish Imperial Commonwealth. That
Is the only provision which Mr. De
vaicra's party can find to object to.
They will object. but they will find
and expect to find the opinion of the
nation against them.
The constitution assigns to ireland
. place In the empire most nearly com
parable to that of Canada. but II con-
taIns u good many provisions that are
ultratlemocratic than any that exist In
Canadian law or In English law either
II c0nfers full Legislative, administra-
tive. financial and judicial powers on
the Irish government and provides for
woman suffrage. proportional repre-
sentation and certain privileges OF In
itiative and referendum. 1t gives the
parliament Jurisdiction over the Ffee
State from amy obligation to enter
war In which Great Britain II ensas-
ed without concent Of the parliament.
-Four Of the twelve minister's are D
l,c members of the parliament; tho
other eight are not. The representa-.
tive Of the crown IL to select the Pre-
n,!er. who will serve ~ president Of
the council The premier Is to choose
tive three other parliamentary ministers
aMl 4 committee Of parliament y to-
seiect the other eight. Al ministsrs
are responsible to the majority Of tho
Chamber Of Deputies.
The constitution ia likely to he crit
icised more unfavorably In England
than In Ireland, for a strong element
among the Conservatives believes that
II Is dangerous to make ireland so
far independent of British policy
and British Administration. But
In spite Of the political weakness Of
the Liberal party English sentiment
IL at least more liberal toward Ireland
than II has ever been before, and II
Ireland accepts the new relationship.
there IL no reason to leiicve that the
enemies Of the Lloyd George govern
ment can overthrow the agreement.
Englishmcn think that the policy Of
.lil,eraiity has justified itself In South
Africa, and In spite Of the greater dif-
ticuItles of the present situation they
are ready to try the same policy In
Ireland

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"RLACkMAlL."

TT, TODAY, anyone were to
accuse the editor of a news
paper Of accepting blackmail
when he exchanges a years sub
scription to his paper for a
bushel of potatoes or to state
that a merchant is guilty Of the
same practice when he trades
his goods for farm produce they
would probably be sued for
libel. AS a matter of fact, they
would be only using the word
in it's primary sense.
In the early days Of English
history ''blackn,ail" 49, derived
from the word "black" and the
French 'maille," meaning rent
was applied to the rents received
from tenants in the form of
work or grain, inn contradistinc-
ton to payments made in silver
or white money (maille blanche).
Later, when the feudal barons
and freebooters of many kinds
roamed the highways almost at
will, they collected 'blackmail"
in the form Of forced levies of
goods and provisions from the
Inhabitants Of the countryside
or from travellers who fell into
their clutches and the word fell
into such disrepute that, under
the Elizabethan laws, it was
made a felony without benefit
Of clergy"
1t is doubtless from this law
and the practice which neces-
STATED it that the modern mean
ing Of the word-now synony-
nous with hush-money or a
bride paid for the maintenance
Of silence-originated.
