Here the formal of polfii- cal side of the etonomic problem is met and met, it is belioved, with sue- cord. The effect of the new act will be to abolish dual ownership in land, and to create a peasant proprietary. It is a voluntary, not a compulsory purchase scheme. This latter, Ulster, which though impartial in politics is most radical in agrarian matters, would like and has demanded. Prob. ably some years hence the present bill will be supplemented by a com- puldory act. Meantime, when the tenants and landlord agree, the state lends the tenant the money required to buy out the Igndlord. The tenant repays. the government by means of annual instalments. When the pur chase money and interest have heen repaid the tenant becomes owner of the soil. To imfuce the landlords to soll a bonus varying from five tn Hfteen per cent; according to the size of the estate will be paid them, and for this purpose sixty million dollars have been set aside. John Morley cleverly, but fallaciously de seribed the leading principle of the bill to be: that parliament should give twelve million of pounds to ome body of Irishmen in order that they might be induced to grant the House of Commons the privilege of lending 120 millions to another body of Trishmen. However, this may he for the first time in Irish history, the hard-headed sons of Ulster combined with their lighter-minded brethren of the south in weldoming the measure. This is as neat the miraculous as we are ever likely to get. The smooth and satis- factory working of the act may be Judged from the fact that though in operation for only a little over a yoar., about eighty-Gve million dol. lars' worth of land has been sold to the tenants. Tn other words, about one-fifth of Trish | land has already changed hands. Indeed so many are the. applications to be dealt with that the administrative machinery threat- ens to be seriously clogged. In four or five years we may expect to see Iraland practically in the hands of a peasant proprietary. Meantime what 8 to become. of the landlords ?

Theic help in the social and educational reconstruction: of the country is freely and. gladly recog nized. It is possible that this sorely- wronged "hody of men, the vicarious sufferers for fmilts largely due to historical causes, may yet do. good service to the land where they have bone do much injury, But it is time to turn to the other great movement that is putting a new face on Irish Jife. Wo witness to- the awakening of Irish intellect * the inspiration. of (laelic re. dark | teal side of farming is taught; it i The Woman who Would And The Grocer who wouldn't. Every day from five to fifteen letters are received by The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. fiom women living in th. smaller towns throughout Canada, saying they have asked their grocer for Royal Household Flour but can't get it. One writes--*I told my grocer, 'Mr. that I would buy 'Royal Household' regularly if he would always keep it on hand, but he said he wouldn't take on another brand of flour until he was obliged to." Another says--*" My grocer is an 'old fogie' and never gets the newest or the best things until the year after." A third says--"We haven't an enterprising grocer in our town and are obliged to send to-------for 'Royal Household' or take a poorer flour." Write dire to Qgilvie's. If you can't get "Royal Household" from your grocer, write to us direct--we will immediately give you the name of the nearest grocer who keeps "Royal Household" and send you also the "Royal Household" recipes. There is no good reason why your grocer should compel you to use inferior flour--no first class grocer will hesitate to order "Royal Household" for you, and even the smallest dealer will get it if you insist upon it. : THE OGILVIE FLOUR MILLS CO., LIMITED, MONTREAL. a -- I -- ---- ee -- vival, e treasures of poetry and romance hidden beneath the turmoil and squalor of centuries are being resurrected, and a literature racy of the soil is in process of ereation. Tha old language is being revived and has been studied - with such zeal that to-day about 700,000 Irish people are bi-lingual and some 40,000 speak Irish only. In many places the schools teach Irish; letters are addressed and chocks signed in the same melodious tongue. As a worthy priest has ex- pressed it: "Fhe grand old Irish tongue is spreading hand in hand with temperance." The public house is no longer the centre of attraction. In far away nooks and corners, little societies have been formed for the new study, and aged men and wo- men may be seen poring over the le- gends and traditions of a romantic past. But the permanent good of the Pentary revival will probably be not in the use of Irish as a spoken ton- ue--it can never take the place of Folin at in the rise of a litera ture which though English in form is Irish in spirit. A truly national as distinet from "Nationalist" con sciolisness may be its creation. For the task to which Ireland is summoen- ed in the new cemtury is identical with that which Scotland achieved in the eighteenth--the building up of a new social and intellectual order, which will be the expression of her native genius. The Gaelic movement has a great part to play in thie noble task. The next step in the evolution of Irish national lilo is the recon- struction of her educational system or rather no-system. Irish Roman Catholies labor under an undoubted grievance in the lack of a university which will be in harmony with their religious beliefs. Trinity College, though open 16 all-tomers of what. ever religion, has too many Protes tant associations to make it welcome to ardent Roman Catholics. The Queen's College, Belfast, which repre- sents more solid learning for its size and endowments than any acadomic institution in the United Kingdom, is in the hands of the Presbyterians. The Roman Catholics have Maynooth which is, however, practically a theo- logical seminary, and is wot in touch i the great body of the nation. The mass of the Irish people, there. fore, are without propor higher edy- cation so far as the state is conecern- ed, and such a situation is mischie- vous in the extreme. In the interests of the Roman Catholic clergy, who, with all their virtues, are not edneca- ted men in the larger sense. in the # | interests of the rising Catholic youth, i | who have alread shown their high | intellectual calibre in competitive eox- aminations. in the interest of Irish re. ligion which is ih sad need of the illuminating power of sejence & philosophy, England must grant this boon long denied and thus -complete the atonement che has so nobly made | for all her past mistakes.
