Treland's New Dav

The American people have SYM
pathized with the desire of the
Irish race for self government.
1hey rejoice over the formal es-
adjustment Of the new Free State.
They are glad that the British
government has seen fit to place
at the head thereof so genuine and
loyal an Irishman as Tim" Hea-
ley.
Ireland gets freedom to all prac-
Zeal purposes by this change. If
it rebels at the Slight tie that still
binds it to the British common
wealth, it should remember that
Canada has grown up free and
happy while acknowledging sim
tilar relation. Britain will be
stronger foI giving its sister isle
this self control, and Ireland will
be foolish if it drops fhis sub
stantial freedom to grasp for the
vague shadow of absolute indie
pendence.
A satisfactory demonstration
of what should be done with the
Turks was given by Father with
