Intelligent man who will study the

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.

.SEW. YORK. Dec 3. (Special.)
Miss Grace C Strachan. the determined
young woman who did what everybody
thought was the Impossible task of
UotIng to success In the Legislature
the bill giving women teachers In Sew
Tork the same pay that the men get.
haa started out to settle some of the
little private scores run up In the
course of the campaign, which was a
particularly warm and bitter one.
Because he made some unkind In
sinuations about the manner in which
she used money while lobbying In the
Interest of the bill. Miss Stracnan haa
announced that she Intends to sue At
torney Joseph K. Van Denburg for
libel. Van Denburg. In a letter to a
Boston paper, flatly declared that Miss
Strachan and her associates at Albany
had tampered with the Legislators,
Intimating that they went to the ex
tent of giving money to vote for the
measure.
This charge II! ss Strachan warmly
denies. She admits that she spent
1 100. SOS to secure the passage of the
bill, but declares that every cent of it
waa spent legitimately. She declares.
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. In spite of threats, hss
not passed the wordy stage, is proving
highly entertaining to New Yorkers.

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.

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.
