It doesn't show much evidence of hum, but it qualifies for the bug part all right. Millerand speaks of the birthright of France.

One gathers from political spee- ches that the solution of all our prob- lems consists in denunciation of the other party. 5 ---------- i If drastic measures become neces- © gary, let the League boldly threaten to invade Russia and give everybody bath and a shave. s Recruits to the cause of Irish free- om are never turned down on ac- gount of defective teeth.

Whilé millions of helpless women and children are dying in Europe to- day because of lack of food, i: seems incomprehensible that tha world should pay much attention to auy in- dividual who persists in starving himself to death. {to a man who has been given a fair | trial and found guilty of treason. Yet that is the position assumed to- day by Mayor MacSwiney, of Cork. He is posing as another Irish | "martyr." He has only himself to blame ii he achieves the role while still a young man. As the Canadian- American, of Chicago observes: '"The emotional wave now engulfing a large part of Erin and parts of Am- erica over the fate of MacSwiney is another evidence of human foolish- ness in the mass." Eugene V. Debs, a candidate for the presidency of the United States, is an inmate of the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. Would the United States release this man and the dozens of other plotters against the flag if they 'went on hunger strike? Not likely, Yet the mayor of New York City has the effrontery | to cable Lloyd George requesting the liberation of MauSwiney. Little | wonder his action has aroused op- position in many parts of the repub- lie. The average American, like other sensible people, is inclined to mind his own business, and leave other people to mind theirs. Lloyd George is right, is the fur- ther conclusion of the Canadian-Am- erican, which adds: the later reflec- | tion of some of the hotheads of to- day will do him justice. Even sup- posing that MacSwiney's death brings all the calamities upon the govern- | ment predicted by Sinn Fein. Better to let the Irish desperadoes do thelr | | worst and have done with it, even if it wipes out most of the malcon- tents in civil war. Better this, than to surrender the principles of im- partial government at the behest of a fanatic who threatens to starve him- self-to death if not given his liberty. The Catholics and Protestants who are skull-cracking in Ballymacarrett and Shankhill and other parts of Bel- fast deserve little consideration. The two creeds have been warring for generations, splashing their peace- loving neighbors with blood and mud, and disgracing a beautiful country. If MacSwiney's death pre- cipitates a crisis that forces the prac- tised military machine into action oa a big scale, and gives these rioters a taste of Armageddom, it may be better for Erin and for the Empire in the long run. ---- UNREST AND THE CHURCH. There is unrest in India, We are informed ; unrest in England and the United States, unwest in this land of peace and plenty. Experts are diagnosing this unrest. It is industrial, it is social, it is economic, it is an attack of post-war nerves. It is all these things, and more : it is at bottom moral and religious. Truly the world is on the march-- and it knows not whither, But un- questionably its deepest cry is for a faith that will answer its need ; and such a faith will not ultimately rest in things, but in ideals. What is needed is an adequate inner re- Luponse to world environment, a moral impulse to re-value things in the light of worthy ideals, an en- larged social Instinct which looks out after a world brotherhood: And -these things are essentially religious. The Christian church has much to do with these ideals. She has been responsible for much of the unrest in the world, and it is her problem to direct the world's pathway to- ward new security. In spite of all prophecies to the contrary, there is abundant evidence that her influence is not waning but waxing. Reform movements, new apologetics, new adjustments, are taking place. It is a simple fact that while many things go to the making of a new age, the prime impulse of intellectual, moral and religious advance is the faith that the King and Head of the church is still the only real and vital power which is permanent and destined to hold a larger place in the affairs of men. 3 This is the church's supreme' con- cern; this is why she exists in the world, to give an answering faith to the world's claimant need. That she has not done this as she should have | done, that she has been too busy with the * petty details of her own machinery, that she has often stood in the path of progress when she | should have led the way, may all be | taken for granted. But that she is | dissatisfied with herself, that she is {aroused . to mew concern for the world which it is her mission to save and lead to new and safer paths-that { she is Dbetaking herself anew to learning the lost art of praying to- | gether, that she is rousing herself | from slumberous ease to face the i THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG WHIG Coust't pretend to Ye doing it for | new day, that she, more than all | | others, is clamgring for a higher | elvilization, a greater emphasis on the. value of human life and charac- ter, and a stronger endeavor for the | utmost of all human material the souls and faculties of man-- | these are the grey streaks which pre- cede the rising of the sun. It is immensely worth while that we should remember that among | the leaders of the Christian churches | the world over there is less of the | counsel of despair than anywhere | else, | KNEW OF THE FAIR BUT NOT OF KINGSTON Yankee Tourist Had Heard About Bushell's Great Exhibition. "It pays to advertise," says the! philosopher, who wants a um to sell his wares. He's right. The other morning a Yankee from Provi-| dence, R.I., inquired of a Kingston- an who was getting off the steamer | Toronto, in the early hours of the morning, the name of the city, whose lights were looming up in the dis- tance. "Why, that's Kingston," the son of the limestone city. "Well, just where is Kingston?" | inquired the tourist. "It's the gateway of the Twousand | Islands and famous all over the con- tinent on account of its historical in- terest," said the Kingstonian swell- ing with pride. "I never heard of the town," con- | cluded the Yankee, '"'but you've got | a big fair here, ain't you?" | Such is the reward of the cease-| less advertising of Bushell, the Booster, | replied " all MUSINGS OF THE an} = * Can You Explain This. There be folks who never should go away from home. I have seen fmen die and the doctor called it | "coast" fever, or "bush" or tain' fever. That fever would not have: fizzed .on them at home, but they lay down and died without a struggle in a far-off place and there {was really. nothing the matter with 'them but home-sickness. There be folks who should 'never stay around home. They will never {amount to.a row of pins here in the old home town, but pull them up by the roots and transplant them to isome far-off place and they thrive |prodidjisly. Manitoba and the other northwest provinces furnish us with thousands of examples of both types. | There be people living from hand {to mouth up there with a lien on {this and a lien op that, the range, the granary, the stock and the imple- ments, who should never have left {Gumbo or Holy Smoke, Ontario.

There is one thing that has al- ways puzzled me about the great Irish nation. They have the rapu- tation of being splendid fighters. |For ages thay have wom renown in {every corner of the earth, in every spot in the universe, but--Ireland!

But St. Peter has little to thank the Irish for. Jerry Baldwin, better knewn in history as Garibaldi, destroyed the temporal power of the popes, and Jerry 'was an' Irishman. Don't run away with the idea that he was a Dago. Fur frum it! He was born in Tiperarv. The Irishmen in Ireland will never free Irishmen. The Irishmen in New York, Toronto, Chicago, Boston, Melborne, et al., may turn the trick, |but they can't do it with money. They, stay at home and send money over to Ireland./ They have simply debauched their Motherland, so that there is more money and easy mon- ey in being a rebel than in going to work.
