T IRELAND PROSPERS UNDER HOME RULE ‘New Spirit of Proqress. Is Shown Under Government of Free State. BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN. Oorrespondence of The Ktar and tha Chicage Daily News, DUBLIN. Ireland. June 1.—What Is Ireland doing with the home rule that, after long conflict, it has won? For generations Iraland devoted its energies 1o the guestion of home rule. For more than a century home rule was demanded. sometimes in argument |and sometimes in arma. by the la:ger section of the nation. and was as vig- orously opposed by argument, and at least the threat of arms, by the smaller section. ¢ Now all sections in lreland have ob- tained self-government in one form or another. In the south home rule is indistinguishable by most people from complete. national independence. The southern Parliament has the amplest legislative and executive power and the right to exercise the fullest fiscal treedom. The Fres State imposes and collects taxes. It can and does levy protective tariffs against the world. When it chooses it may establish its own curren It is a member of the League of Nations and can send its ambassadors to foreign states. Its sep- aration from England, apart trom con- stitutional technicalities, {a practically complete. The King's head has disap. peared from its postage stamps and his name from the records of the law courts. Criminals are tried no longer for acting “against the peacé of our sovereign lord thé King. his crown and dignity.” but for offenses against the Saorstat. There is no limitation on legislative or exdcutive authority, for though nominally the King. through the governor geneéral, could fmpose a veto on the laws of the Free State Parliament or on the acta of Frea State ministers the constitutional prac- tice of the British commonwaalth for- bids him to do so Different in North Ireland. The home rule which the north of Ireland accepted réluctantly and has now learned fo be proud of ix of a different type. The north is not a do- minion. It has a subordinate and not a sovereign Parllament. It does not collect its own taxes and it comes un- der the British budget, which It sup- plements with a local budget. Ita pos- tal, telegraph and telephone service is still the British service. As the post office was alwaya run at a | north- ern Ireland is quite content to leave postal matters to the British and en- Jjoy cheaper postage. It does not want to change the paint on the northern postal pillar boxes from England's red to Ulster orange. and it notes that the {change trom red to green in the south more for thé posting of a letter. There are many matteérs of legisl tion and administration with which the north. by express prohibitive statute. cannot interfere. Nevertheless, home rule in north Ireland is very real and can be, and is. affectivaly used for the developmant of local prosperity. Thus, today every part of Ireland has seif.government. The houndary commission, which sooner or later will define the extent of Ulster territor: will leave this fact unchanged. Whet er it gives 10 the north six counties or five or four, there will still be the two types of self-government in being. Yet every Irishman. no matter in which ot the 32 counties he dwells, will have an effective voice in shaping his.own dea- tiny. What Are Home Rule Resuits? The home rule éxperiment in Ire. land new. The British method of governing Ireland. however inten- tioned, and applied equally by friend and enemy. appeared to be “Find out what the Irish want and givé them something Adifferent which we think better for them.” Theré has been a sudden énd to all that. Ireland has hardly vét realizad the {magnitude of the change. It was so natural for so long that Irishmen should be “agin the government’ that it is hard to throw off tha old habit of | mind and to realize that the atate, so !tar from beinz an axternal and often | hostils thing. approachable trom a di {tance by menace or appeal, I really fourselves acting in commen A& wa choose. The new position has lasted for only thrée or four vears, more or less disturbed by birth pains. But it is not o0 %06n to attéempt (o estimate some of the results { The world has heard in detall all {about the disturbance. It has heard Hlittle of the unexciting hard labor and practical work that, even while the guna were still firing and the bombs éxploding, was done to set the new state on its feet with all the necessary apparatus of legislative, executive and judieial authority. It is time to ask what Iréland Is doing with tha home rule it has gained. \What aftect has it on thé happiness and prospécts of the people” What methods of governniént has Ireland adopted diftérent from those against which it struggied? | What practical evidence ix it giving of ability to face the problems of the mod- ern world? nation for the changa? Many Bigns of Progress. it usad to ba the fashion 16 contend that the difference must be of slight account. Wé nused 1o be told that on the morning aftér homeé rule was e tablished the Orangemen. no doubt. would ba surprised to find that nobody had cut his throat. while the national- ist would be équaily surprised to find that he had 1o g0 10 work As usual.

Tt Is thought that the time has at last come when Ireland, hesidex its natural scenic beauties and tacilities for sport. has much that is attractive and hopeful to exhibit. Any visitor wili spsedily recognize a change in the outlook of the people. Ireland it no longer a distresstul country. People are beginning to think of the future over which they have some powsr of control rather than of the past where effort was ao long checked hecause it seemad hopaieas.

A visitor to the Jaw courts will see a visible- evidence of the change in the fact that the judges who used to add to the impressiveness of their office by wearing robes of silk and ermine and gold lace, now ait on the bench in everyday clothes. Thers are only 9 of them as against 18 dur- ing the British regime, and if the vis- itor has beén informed, in the once | tamiliar catch phrase, that “home rule | must mean Rome rule,” he will ba aur- prised (o find that of the nine, five are | Protestants, thrae heing staunch 11| ater Preshyterfans. | If. in his conviction of the depth of | religious diffarences in Ireland. thia {puzzles him. the visitor. if he goes to Béifast. will be further puzzied to| llearn that there the Ulster lord chisf | justice {x a Roman Cathelic, the broth- | er of a Jesuit priest. | ‘The law courts are now held in Dub- | ilin Castle. The halls and réception rooms where soclety (which sometimes ibought but often hired its court dress suits and swords) was entertained by the viceroys have been cut up into eourtrooms where everyday jurles try and judges decide land, commercial and probateé suits.

The lecture theater has been turned into a handsome and comfortable semi- circular chamber for the Dail, while the great ballroom of the ducal man- sion has become the place of meeting of the Senate. Anybody who expects displays of Irish eloquence, any seaker for the axcitemént of ssnsational parifament- ary scén®h, will be disappointed. Both Dail and Senate are very serlous and even dull bodies. They are intent on business. They offer no entertaining apectacies for the public and the public gallery is rarely even half filled.

When it is rémembered that for a_year the government was meet- ing the challenge of a ¢ivil war the volume of legislation is amazing. It has covered directly or indirectly the activities of all classes of citizens. All sorts of people, the farmer in the fiéld, the fisherman on ses or river, the worker in the factory, the man who sells eggs and the man who sélls drink have got to learn the things they should do and the things that are for- bidden under penalities. There is, indeed, no laisses-faire about the government of the Free State. It had 1o create an army of 50,000 men. When the need for it les- sened the army was reduced to lesk than 15,000. It had to retorm its civil service. Al the departments were staffed by Britlsh nominees. Those who were especially useful were re tained and the others weare pensioned off and replaced by new appointess. The land question was left unfin. | ished by the British government and & {1ana act was passed. It will make {100,000 tarmers the owners of their i holdings npon sasy terms, paving in |purchase instaliments from 36 to 36 per cent less than the rents. Loans are ma to farmers for Improving their farms. ‘The rallways have been compulsor- ily amalgamated—30 6 40 companies combined in one—and the railway rates have been reduced.

Acts have been passed giving granta to aasist persons to build homes.

M HIGHWAY PROPOSED| Boulevard Would Traverse New Area in Maryland, Pennsyl- vania and Jersey. Plans for development of a broad boulevard connecting the Arlington Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River with the proposed bridge over the North River between New Jersey and New York City are being formu- | 1ated by the Lee Highway Association, . according to Dr. 8. M. Johnson, man- aging director. Dr. Johnaon said that within a short time he expected to go over two or thrée proposed routés ‘0 see which was the most feasible. All the roadls between these termini sre crowded with traffic, and it is be. lieved by those working on the matter that it wonld be cheaper to construct n entirely new route, which would avoid all of the large cities, than it would be to turn one of the axisting routes into a part of the boulevard. | It is proposed to carry the néw road through undeveloped and forestad sec- tions of Maryland, Pennaylvania and New Jersey. At present the plana call for it to entér Washington at the head of Sixteenth street. The development of the road through Maryland is to bé taken up at a meeting to be called upon. the return from Europe of Willlam Bllicott of Baltimore, who is vicé president for Maryland of the Lee Highway Asso- clation. The matter was discussed yeaterday by Dr. Johnson with Lieut. Col. Clar- ence O. Sherrill, director of public buildings and parks, who expressed himself as very much in favor of the project.
