People . are always interested in knowing where they can obtain the newest and best. It can sell that slow-moving stock on your shelves. It can help you dispose of your left -overs of seasonable goods =some of which will soon be not so seasonable.

P gard ourself simply ras a Canadian, not an Irish -(Canadian; and if there were a Canadian religion whose ob- ligations were not too onerous we should - emlbrace. it. But like many other people who were brought up in this country and whose forefathers came from. Ireland, we regret that so early in life we were made familiar with those old quarrels -which ought never- to have been transported or if -they had been ; transported it should have been'to Van Diemen's 'Land We rejoice to think that things have changed greatly for the better in recent years and particularly since the 'coming into existence of the Irish Free State. We hope that young Canadians, Catholic and Protestant, are not be- ing brought up from infancy to die - trust or despise each • •other as was the case with practically all Can- adians of Irish descent some forty years ago, not only 'in Toronto but wherever in Canada their religions differed. It is on this account that we regard separate schools as the greatest curse that ever was fasten- ed upon this nation. So far as our choice is, we should prefer to have all the schools !Catholic if they could not all be Protestant rather than have little children brought up as _- Catholics and Protestants instead df as 'Canadians: „ In that respect we might be ae • cused of greater bigotry, than any' , Orangeman. On the other hand when we say we should like to see all Ire• land united we onlay expose ourself to 'the gliarge of being a Sinn Feiner, in disguise, and in a very easily pierce, ed disguise too.,. 'In the old days on this paper we wrote a good many of the Irish editorials which used to in- flame some Catholic readers; /who were accustomed to denounce us as an. Englishman or, perhaps, even a. German. It was in those days that we made one of our earliest discover- ies about the Irish race, namely that its reputation for hulmor was unde- served. !Most of the Irishmen whom We have met, and particularly those whom we used to exasperate, have seemed to us particularly .lacking in hulmor. Their womenfolk have more of it and we continue, despite an in- creasing broadmindedness, to believe pas'siohTtely that an Irishwoman is ' the noblest work of God. The history of Ireland, it has been . said, is something the •Irish. should forget and the English remember. It is red • with blood and black -iwith treachery. But in recent years the darwn on the coast of Ireland has been spreading, and we do not doubt it will grow brighter unto the perfect day. 'In any event we do not believe that whatever cloud's may arise will have the power of casting their sha- dows across the ,Atlnrtic to come be,- tween any good '0 nadi+an and the sunshine. To- the masses of Canadians whose roots go Back to the sod, the Irish question is now settled, and ,settled according to the wishes of meof Irish blood in every. part of the world. Of course, 'there will be changes, as there will be changes in all nations and in the relations o,f all nations to each other. But /the main course is set; and the time is past when the .man who would alter it roughly would be re- garded as a patron. To -day he would be regarded as a traitor. Irish Question Settled •As It Concerns Canada "And how is dear old Ireland? And hove does she stand?" So far as this vicinity is concerned we think she stands:very well. In any event there seem to be fewer quarrels and angry arguments be- tween Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants than in the old days. Personally, we were struck by the fact that we +were able to enjoy an amicable conversation. the other day with Mr. William O'Connor, an ar- rant Sinn Feiner; and we are frank bo say that no such agreeable dis- course would have been possible ten year's ago. There may be among To- ronto Irishmen some strong yearn ing for a united Ireland, absolutely independent of Great Britain, but we doubt if it is general. We doubt if many would fight for it. Irishmen here and in the United States are, we believer, are generally satisfied With the treaty that established the Irish Free (Spate, making it all but iydependent of England and leaving; allegiance to the King about the only indissoluble tie between the two peo- ples. If the people ,of Ireland come to the conclusion that they cannot be happy unless even, this .link is sev- ered, for our own part we should be content to see it go, with a little sad- ness .perhaps but •no profound agita- tion. ; Perhaps in on other city in the world did the hates and ignorances of a foreign country ever grow so rankly after being transplanted as did the woes of Ireland in this prov- ince, and in this city. (Despite the official claim's that Scotland has put upon us recently, we might as well admit than our pedigree, so fax as we can trace i+t;'and that is to include three of our grandparents, shows nothing but North ofIreland quarter- ings, or, as we might say, three- quarterings.
