Erin's Future.
Cincinnati EnquirerO )

(Clnclnnau EnqulrerD
 Erins future-what of it? The extremist party of de Valera appears to have gained control or the Irish Free State Government, The Fianna Fail is pledged to sever the political bonds that bind it to the British crown. The de Valera party is ,ded- cated to the abolition of the oath to the King and making Ireland self-contained
 The Free State Government has stood for economic cooperation with England with view to tariff preferences.
 For ten years the Irish Free State has stood equal with Australia, Canada and other British do- minons Are we now to witness a halt in the transcendent progress of the Free States affairs, progress that has been greater than any evidenced through ueands seven hundred years of travail the isles awakening the possibilities of industrial development the relieving of its agricultural bur- dens, its electrical progress?
 How is Ireland to profit from a radical change lin policy by the severance of political and economic relations with her greatest-her absolutely essential customer? Have the words "self-contained' and l"independence" some cabalistc meaning and appeal superior to the demands and suggestions of plain land practical common and interest? This must be true of some minds. But just how would Ireland go about preserving the national independ- lence de Valera breaches and to which he is ded- lcated? She is no longer serf of the crown, but member of the British Commonwealth of Nations.
 The Irish Free State is economically dependent lupon Great Britain The Free States essential and practically only market is at her door. Considering lFnglands' tariff departure how could politically severed and independent Ireland expect that special trade advantages would be given to State denying allegiance to the great bund of countries now known las the British Commonwealth?
 Self determination is alluring phrase but we are living in practical world and only those States which can claim to be economically independent properly can hope to win to complete political independence.

SYNOPSIS: Discovery that her mother-in-Iaw is plotting to undermine her marriage de- tsrmines Kitty Frew to per- suade her husband to take her away from his parents home. She has net been happy in staying there, but Cars moth- CT persists in giving Gar money and telling him to have a good time instead of going to work. Her small town background prevents her from fitting in with Cars friends, and she is ostracised, espec- iaIly by Marge Crosby, who wants to annex Gar. For some time Gar has been busy with Marge, helping direct a little theatrical group, Once during his absence, Kitty met Cars half-brother, David, who is estranged from the family, and whom she likes and trusts. Gar is young and ir- responsible, and fails to real ize Kitty's discontent and his mothers unfriendly attitude to- ward her. He scolds Kitty for not being warmer to his own friends, but says he will work.

Doubtless the efforts or the game wardens and others to provide food IS partly at least, responsible for this desranle con- dition

HOME OWNERSHIP.

One of the safest and soundest of the schemes to dispe the depression that which is directed toward home building In good times or bad one of the most satisfactory investments for the savings o an average family is in home of its own A home is tangible something. It can be seen, examined and put to a practical use. And it can claim all the points of a good security in an investment
 And there is something more than all that m home ownership The average man or woman is proud to say this is my home, own it.
 The family that owns its own home is made happier through the ownership, and it becomes more contented every day that it uses home of modern design with the multiple conveniences of the present day.
 In addition to this the one who builds home in these times contributes to the community and National welfare Like the man in war time who bought Liberty Bonds until it hurt, he is serving his country in a time of stress He is making a market for building material and reducing unemploy- ment by providing work for those who otherwise would not have it.

THE EXAMPLE OF 1884.

Not since 1884 probably, have the Democrats had so many outstanding men worth considering for the Presidency. In fact, in many respects the nresent occasion resembles that time when great Governor of New York nominated over Bayard' Thurman, Hendricks Randall, Pendleton, Holman Morrison and other statesmen not to mention Carlisle Lamar Hill Vance Daniel and other South ern leaders Gov Cleveland was nominated prln- cipaIy because he had been elected Governor of New York by an unprecedented majority and had made an honest fearless and competent executive of his State It was the belief of the delegates that he would be a stronger candidate at the polls than any of the brilliant tested and true leaders that had been ably fighting party battles for years
 The situation now is lot like that. Former Secretary of War Baker Gov. Ritchie, Speaker Garner, Senator James Hamilton Lewis and others who have been named in connection with the party Presidential nomination are brilliant, high-minded earnest leaders anyone of whom would make an excellent Chief Executive. Gov. Ritchie and MT Baker have proved their quality in executive capaci- ties. Their Americanism and Democracy are sound and they have the stamina and courage to com mand Either would make an ideal President, and either would present the issues to the American people ably and fearlessly.
 But again. as in the case of Gov. Cleveland we have a candidate that elected Governor oi New York by an unprecedented majority, and he has made an honest fearless and competent execu- tive of his State Also like was the case Of Gov Cleveland Gov Roosevelts availability has been long recognized So clearly is this true now as it was in 1884 that the Republicans who have transferred their allegiance to the Democratic Party have done SO with the idea in mind that the New York Gov ernor would be the Democratic Presidential nom- inee If the Democrats would fail to live up to the 1884 example the number that would be disappointed would be so great that the recruits of the last year or two would have an excuse to return to their former allegiance.
 Good political sense would seem to demand the nomination of Gov Roosevelt now as it demanded the nomination of Gov. Cleveland

 But, Gar, mean--your fatl1erl What did he say about the job?"
 Gar was taking off his coat. He did not notice the pleading on Kitty's face. "Oh, that he answered easily. T didn't see Dad. I talked it over with Mother and she advised against it. She thinks I ought to stick around home this winter and give my time to this new theatre venture. We're fixed comfortably and it isn't as if Dad couldn't afford to keep us. Say we've got to get dressed, Kit. The bunch is going to the Hoffman tor dinner Somerse's going with Nfarge. Reds in a stew about that. Fix the studs in my shirt, will you, sweet I'll jump into bath"
 Kitty took q dress shirt out of Cars bureau She put. in the studs ana spread the shirt ost on the bed. She found coilar ana a tie and put them beside it. Socks.-She was shiverng, her en- tire body felt cold, numb, her brain a dead thing.
 There was something she had to tell Gar. something she had to do-She took up the yellow dress, vaguely aware that it had to do with her purpose. and was stand ing. staring dumbly down at it when Gar emerged from the bath room, rubbing his curly hair with towel.
 That's right, Kit wear that. its going to be big night to- night"
 His words, his tone, released her brain from its numbing weight. She faced him, crushing the vel low dress in her hands.
 I'm not going tonight, Gar.''
 He saw her face. then. He stra- ed at it, puzzled, frowning It.

Mot going?" Whats the big idea?"
 I'm not going out with you any more until you can pay for our pleasure with money you've earned"
 She could let in a faint surprise at the steadiness of her tone.
 Cars frown deepened. "Oh, lord. are you going to begin that old song? We'll you can't mind if l go without you
 II can't mind it as much as the humiliation of going with you and knowing that your mother is-buy- ing you?" But Gar did not hear that His angry glance had gone into the half packed suitcase.
