IRELAND's BREATHING SPACE.

The truce Of three months between
the factions In Southern Ireland Is
obviously important for the British
Government The treaty establishing
the Irish Free state undoubtedly con-
templated an early framing of Con-
stitution for the Free state and a
prompt election of its Parliament At
the same time there was no positive
direction In the treaty that these steps
should be taken before a fixed date.
Indeed, there IL clause In Article
XVII. of the treaty which May be held
TO cover the situation as II has now
arisen. After speaking of the estab-

COLLEGE BRED LAWYERS.

The National Conference of Bar AS
sociations. at its meeting In Wash
ington, last week. adopted a recon-
mendation that future members OF
the bar be required 10 have at least
two years of college education. Prob
ably this will not he such a hardship
as il would have been up 10 half
century ago, but IT seems like an ar
bitrary interference with the right of
young men 70 choose a profession.
A requirement OF this kind would
have barred Andrew Jackson. yet he
served acceptably as Judge and was
a truly great man. II would have
barred Abraham Lincoln. who proved
