DUNRAVEN IS HOME RULER Lord Writes Article In Which He Favors Federal Control. DUBLIN. Dec. I. Lord Dunraven has written an article upon "The Need for a Constitutional Party." in which be speaks out strongly In favor of federal horns rule. This, he says, would preserve ths dignity of the crown, settle the second chamber ques tion, reduce the representation of Ire land to its proper limits, and remove the Irish grievance of English control, and the English grievance of Irish con trol. He adds, too, that It would olsar the way towards Imperial unity and bring about a better understanding between all portions of the English-speaking world. Lord Dunraven deplores the attitude of the lory party towards home rule. "The non-possumus attitude which unionists seem disposed to adopt." he writes, "and the strenuous campaign against home rule undertaken by Sir Edward Carson and his subordinacy war lords, are deeply to be regretted." Lord Dunraven adds a word of warn ing to Sir Edward Carson: "Let us. he says, "have done with all the non sense about separation, home rule the equivalent of Borne rule, the persecu tion of a minority and all the conten tions derived from Imagination and serving only to obscure sound Judg ment and Inflame the passions of men. tlr Edward Carton preaches open re bellion against all authority. He ap peals to arms against the will of the people. It is quite clear the old opponents of the home rule idea are steadily chang ing their point of view everywhere In th four provinces. On Saturday last, for Instance, there was a meeting of nearly three thousand people In the t'lster Hall. Belfast, under the auspices of the East Belfast brsnch of the Ul ster Liberal Association, which unre servedly endorsed the national demand. This was ths biggest liberal meeting held In the same building since 1S. when Lord Harttngton. the late Duke of Devonshire, stated his position as a liberal unionist. From that time till a year or two ago liberal unionists were the moit strenuous opponents of the re-creation of an Irish parliament.

In effect, that shs will make the at torney eat his words, which Van Den burg Just at present does not seem at all Inclined to do. The merry war between the two, which so fsr.

CONGRESS READY FOR FRAY (Cestlso.d tram nrrt Paxs.) made on the extravagance that Is charged and the alleged Incompatibility between cost and practical results. Then there Is the Stanley-Littleton Im broglio which threatens a lot of dis cord. The cool-headed leaders will do their best to smooth down the ruffled spirits. Tariff and constructive corporation legislation are the two Items of gen eral Interest standing out from the rest In the line of serious business. As soon as President Tsft sends In his tariff message, following the report made to him by the Tariff Board, the Democrats of the ways and means committee will shape their programme. It Is prac tically assured that whatever the ways and means committee puts forward, whether wholly en rapport with the Tariff Board findings or not. will pass tht House. Maay Tariff Bills Conrfac The probability Is that there will be a series of measures revising various schedules In conformity with the plan followed last Summer. The real tariff fight will follow In the Senate with the result uncertain now and with the Im pending complications wearying to con template In view of the balance of pow. er held by the Insurgents and the lack of harmony in the ranks of the Senate Democrats. If the House and Senate eventually agree on tariff matters. It will be for President Taft to settle the fate of the legislation, which hs will do in accord ance with the Information then In his possession. The corporation legislative problem Is even more vexing than that pertain ing to the tariff. It is generally known that the President will recommend a Federal corporation law, and that he and his friends are hopeful that non partisan publlo sentement will force the parties to co-operate and plaoe It on the statute books. But there are dosens of members of Congress with dosens of Ideas as to what ought to be done along other lines and bill galore will be Introduced. nniiiunr nil i rn nini tiUIMlM UHLLtU MM STATE'S WARDS DENTED XTOMES WITH OPPOSITE SEX. Marriages With Scions of Families That Have Adopted Them De clared Undesirable. BOSTON, Dec 3. (Special.) There will be an end to the marriage of wards of the state with foster brothers or sisters In families Into which they have been adopted. The Department of Minor Wards of the State Board of Charity has declared that such ro mances Involve a "risk" for which the department does not feel prepared to assume responsibility. There have been Instances In the past In which state wards have grown up and married wealthy children of the families of tbelr adoption. Experience of the past, ssld James E. Fee, head of the department, haa shown that such an outcome In most cases Is undesir able. "Hitherto we did not allow hoys and girls over 10 years of age to go to homes In which there were minors of the opposite sex." said Mr. Fee. "Today we plan not to allow children of any age to go under any condition. Of course an exception to this rule would be made In the case of brothers and sisters. "Otherwise we shall never take any risks of putting the two sexes into contact with each other. There would be Just enough difference In the re lationship between the two to make a romance the most probsble thing In the world." BERBER DeiS LESSON BALLOT MORE POWERFUL THAN BOMB, SATS SOCIALIST. Member of Contra Declare Peo ple Will See Inefficiency of "Pure and Slmpledom." WASHINGTON. Dec . Victor Berg er. Socialist member of Congress, today said that the McNamara confession waa "the greateat blow that haa ever come to the Gompera-Mttchell school of unionism." "This school never wanted to abolish capitalism and to Introduce Soolalism." said Mr. Berger. "All the "pure and simple' want Is to add a few cents a day to the workers' wages. And, not hoping much from the ballot and Inde pendent political action, desperate characters readily turned to desperate acts. This case will teach the 'pure and simpler- that the ballot is Infi nitely mora powerful than the dynamite bomb. "As for the McNamaras. thsy also are victims of the class struggle, and while their acts are Indefensible It may not be amlia to point out that capitalism Is killing and maiming annually hundreds of thousands In the mines, railroads and factories without this fact receiving a passing notice in the publlo press.
