Tragedy Of Passion.

The first ruler Of modern Roumania,
besides being a great nationalist, was
the leader in nationwide land agi-
tation which had for it's aim just the
aim Parnell had in view in Ireland, to
turn a nation of laborers into nation
of peasant owners. Like Parnell, the
Roumanian leader was ruined through
a tragedy of passion, and left his work
undone. So it comes that the land
question is, after nationalism, the
gravest question in Roumanian poll
tics.
