But even if it was not working" SO
well the Irish people would be rid of the
institution which they most bitterly de-
spiscd--Dublin Castle
Dublin Castle sympolized all the
wrongs imposed upon the Irish. since
time immemorial. Now the Irish Free
Staters control the only government in
Ireland, and even 10 the Irregulars this
condition is doubtless preferable to Eng
lish rule.
The principal fact, says President Cos
grave, is that Ireland is governed by
men whom the Irish people have elected
for that purpose, and that the represcn-
tatives in both houses of the Irish Par
lament ARE practically as one in their
determination to maintain" the freedom
from foreign rule, and to develop it
for every advantage of ireland, political
economic and cultural"
One who accepts such assertions on
their face can logically have little fear
for Ireland's future.

A MESSAGE FROM IRELAND

Il
President Cosgrave's ST. Patrick's Day
message to the world-a world which
! for the most part, has been sympathetic
though inclined to criticise--may Danish
the worst fears entertained for the iu-
ture of the Irish Free State. 1t is a
message not only of hope, but OF per-
Torrance as we'll. 1t deals with the
present and the past as well as with
the future, and its tone throughout is
| such that it may be expected to dis
please none save the enemies of Ireland.
During the last few months COM
paratively little has been heard from or
about Ireland. The optimistic have re-
minded themselves that "no news is
good news Nevertheless, even they
have been disturbed somewhat by ru-
mors-rot actual news-of adverse de-
velopments among the Free Staters
Definite incidents were not described,
but conditions" were said to be Some
thing awful
Conditions in Ireland may be no less
bad than such rumors imply, and still
represent great improvement One who
| reads and believes that President Cos
grave says in his St. Patrick's Day mes
sage cannot but understand how this
could be true. AS the head of the Free
Staters points out, Ireland had 10 under
go much suffering. and make great sac
rifices, to gain release from all the
shackles that had been placed upon her
through the ages. Perfect tranquility
and blissful contentment have not been
attained, but just consider how frr the
Irish have gone in 4 short time toward
those ideal ends.
Notwithstanding the fcbrilc effects
OF the two fanaticisms," says President
Cosgrave, "the Irish revolution is an ac-
complishcd fact The new constitution
is operative, and the changes that fol-
low from it are being steadily and per
manently effected
"A new electoral law will Sc
cure that future elections will be held
under the conjoint principles of universal
adult suffrage and the proportional rep
| resentation OF minorities.
The Judicial system is undergoing a
complete reform, readjusting il to the
requirements OF the Irish people
A new and purely civil police organi-
cation has replaced the Royal Irish Con-
stabulary.
"A new revenue department will COL
lect the taxes OF the Free State.
"A new army organization will be the
instrument Of the national will, expressed
through the elected representatives of
the nation, for the defense of the ma
ton and its institutions"

Grape fruit was more or less IN

still held:
Grape fruit. 80 cents q portion
