(The Outlookt) One generation sins, another gen- eration pays the penalty. This com- monplace of history the Imilt problem of to -day tragically illustrates. In the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies England sowed the seeds of in- justice. Now in the time of its dis- tress it is reaping the harvest'from its own sowing. s . There are no more sectarian Roman 1• Catholics than those in the south of Ireland. There are no More setarian Protestants than those in the north of Ireland. The bitter religious aniraosi- ties -which luive largely disappeared - from the rest of Christendom survive in Ireland. The Roman Catholics are in ,a, majority. Home Rule unaccom . D enied with guarantees would put the Protestant population of Ireland, under 1 the political contol of the Roman Catholics. The refusal of Honae Rule leaves the Roman Catholic popnlation of Ireland under the political control of the Protestants of England, Scot- land and Wales. If the Government grants Herne Rule, it is threatened. with armed revolt by the north of Ireland. If it refuses Home Rule, it is threatened with armed revolt by - the south ef Irelarid. This is theIrish question stated in its baldest falibion and its broadest tonna. If we were to add an account of the various Agra- rian and -industrial problems and the various- Irish factions which further complicate the problem, our readers would lay down - our description in despair. Fifty years ago (r. Gladstone made a courageous attempt to remove one cause of Irish discontent. He succeed- ed in persuading- the English people. to abolish the established church in Ireland and withdraw state endow- ments from all religious comniunions in that island. Thereafter the Irish Roman Catholics were not required to give support to a religious establish- ment whieh they bitterly condemned. Other measures were attempted by Mr. Gladstone, some with, some with: - out, success. All had for their object the remedy of political injustice, -the ameliorietion of distress, and the re- moval of grounds of public discontent. But they were all alike in this; they were proposals framed in England and proposed to Ireland. They asked the Irish, will this satisfy you? None of them said to the Irish, Tell us what you want. In this fiuidamental re- spect Mr. Lloyd George's proposal differs radically from any that has ever before been made in the his- tory of the Irish problem. He in- vitee the Irish to meet in a convention containing representatives of all fac- tions, all classes, and all religious faiths, debate their problems among themselves,- reecle their'', sewn canidu- sion, and tell England what they want. His statement to the House of Commons, as reported in the cable despatches in our daily papers, is as follows: "Mr. Lloyd George said one thing had tended to cause the failure of ef- forts to 4rriY.9. .4t a ttiern'ente -that imwasuracc There are Sennits, Split Straws, Mackinaws, Pang- mas, etc. All the new style kinks in sash bands and colored trimwings.

It may be assumed that he will be, not a party leader; , but like the Speaker of the British House . of Conunonsr.a judicial officer free from party alliances and party prejudices. And the convention will contain representatives not only of all Irish factions, ineituittig the Sinn Fein- ers, but also of the "local governing bodies, the churches, the trade unions, and the commercial and educational in- terests." How thisibomad representa- tion is to be secured Lloyd George has not said. Whatever the immediate result of Lloyd George's proposal, it is that of a statesman, whether it succeeds or fails, the result will be. valuable. If the Irish sho-uld refuse to cons- titute such a convention, or if the convention should dissolve without reaching any conclusion,the Irish peo- ple would have demonstrated their in- ability at present -to conduct suc- cessfully the experiment of self-gov- ernment. If they cannot agree oa a basis of co-operative political action, they cannot agree in earrying on co- operative political action England. would be justified by the civilized world in re-undertalcing the task of. governinga ^ people who had been given the opportunity to govern them- selves and.bad abanciuned the task. • EREMIIIIMIN1111111111111111131111111114011NOM Cinderella and Flower Land Operetta The most loved of chil- dren's fairy stories will be given ny 6o pupils of the Seaforth Public School un- der the direction of Miss Annie Govenlock.

If "nothing 'succeeds like success,' it made for people living on the border is also true that nothing fails like in such places as Windsor, who daily failure. The Irish mentor who easily cross to work in places in the United wins the applause of the unthinking States like Detroit, Commercial tra- by critidising England would not find yellers may have their certificates en - it equally easy to win applause by dorsed so that they will not have to attacking Ireland. The mere fact that secure a fresh permit for each of their a proposal framed by Ireland had been accepted by England would go fan to- ward settling the Irish question; even if the. settlement were not altogether wise. Two difficult problems \still confront this Irish convention if it meets. Their solution will require a sincere spirit of conciliation and coropromise in the convention as well as an understand- ing of fundaraeotal political principles. To succeed, the convention must — Protect by its constitution the civil and religious rights of the. minority .against possible peril from an omnipo- tent majority; And secure local self-government for 'Ireland, without impairing the unity or weakening the authority of the Central Government on all matters which concern the welfare and the honor of the Empire; It is permitted- todhope that the Jirisliteemstriitai ,ention will be 'organized; and' t organization will create in the Irish leaders that sobering sense tif responsibility which power generally inspires in men of ability- and character.

It was the late Mr. Rotten - bury who finally gave it its present name of Clinton. Thus for over sev- enty years the name of Rotten - bury has been inseparably bound up with life of Clinton. The late Joseph Rattenbury was for many years the genial and popular host of this well- known stopping plaem and it wen while he was there that the house was burned on May 13th, 1907.

Under an order -in -Council, effective on Friday last, from coast to coast, it is illegal under heavy_penalty for any male person within the ages of 18 and 45 years inclusive, ordinarily resident in Canada to leave or attempt to leave the country for any purpose without the written permission of a Canadian immigration inspector or other per- son authorized to grant such permis- sion, who must be fully satisfied by sworn declaration that the .intenaed departure is not with the object of avoiding liability to be called upon to render military or other service' which might conduce towards the success of his Majesty and his allies in the pre- sently prevailing war." Violation of the regulation is pun- ishable by a fine not exceeding $2,500 or imprisonment not exceeding five years, or both fine and imprisonment. The order applies to every male person within the ages specified, save members of military or naval forces on duty or members of crews of boats, trains, ferries, street cars, etc. plying between points within and without Canada, when actually in the per- formance of their duties as members of such credits. It is of the greatest importance for anyone desiring to temporarily ab- sent hiinself from Canada for a legiti- mate purpose to familiarize himself with the regulations, which are ex- plained in the official anriouricement. To obtain a permit it is necesary to make application on a printed form obtainable from any postanaster or railway ticket agent. The forms must be filler out in duplicate. Formal per- mission to leave the country, if grant- ed by the immigration inspector, is in- scribed on the duplicate, which is then retained by the applicant and must be kept on his person for production at the demand of any immigration The information called for on the application schedule is: Name and address. Date of birth. Nationality and length of residence at present address. Names and addresses of four per- sons for reference to identification. Destination and TdaSOnS for desir- ing to leave Canada. Expected lengtheof absence. Height, weight, color of eyes and hair. - Occupation. Each- schdule must have attached thereto a photograph. that is a good likeness of the applicant. The de:clarations must be signed by the applicant and sworn to by him before a notary public, justice of the the iangliage of the summons is -to peace or commissioner. Government, therefore, had decided ton invite Irishinten themselves to put for- ward their proposals. Hitherto Great Britain has undertaken all the con- struction and Ireland all the criti- cism. Once Irishmen were confronted with the problem, they would give due weight to the obstacles and diffi- culties. The Government proposed that Ireland should try her own hand at framing a plan. This method, he said, had succeeded in Canada, Aus- tralia -and South Africa, and he could not help thinking that what had been accomplished there could be achieved in Ireland, , The Government therefore proposed to summon immediately on behalf of the Crown a convention of Irishmen in Ireland to Submit to the British Government and Parliament a consti- tution for the government of Ireland within the Empire. The parties which entered the convention would be pledg- ed to no conclusion, but every man who entered would be pledged to do his best to settle the controversy. No pro- posal would be shut out from consider- ation and no one who participated would be committed as to the charac- ter and scope of the constitution to be framed for the future government of Ireland within the Empire. The Gov- ernment would accept the responsibil- ity for taking the necessary steps "to make it possible to give legislative effect to the conclusions of the con- vention. John Redmond, speaking for the great body of those who desire a large measute of. self-government for Ireland, followed Mr; George,- and "the House cheered him heartily as he signified the readiness of the National- ist party to do all in its power to bring about a settlement for the first time in its history, Ireland had been asked to undertake herself." Sir Ed- ward Carson, the most distinguished representative of the north of Ireland Potestants, in a cautious speech, fol- lowing Mr. Redmond, refused to com-. mit his party but indicated his own favorable regard for it in the fol- lowing sentence: "If every one enter- ed the convention with freedom and an honest 'desire to do his best for the country and Empire, it might be successful., while on any other • terms it would certainly fail." The Sinn Feiners, who are the irreconcil- ables of Ireland and deniand its se- • cession front the British Empire and its creation as an -independent nation, • are apparently' divided in sentiment. Earlier reports represented them as • refusing; later reports represent them as approving. 'Probably the more • radical roembers of this faction, those less influential but more noisy, are • disinclined to enter a convention which frequent trips. The order -in -Council is now opera- bride.
