Notes By The Way

Details of the Irish election are at this distance somewhat difficult to understand. That is true of many matters involved in Irish af- fairs. A few facts are clear. Over a mill-ion votes were polled. There were live parties who bad candl- dates in -the field. 0f those elected 63 are assigned to the government, along with ~14 Republicans, 16 Independents, 15 unbi- and 1s Farmers, a total of 153. It is men- tioned in despatches that something like 100 defeated candidates stand to lose their deposits of £100 each.

It appears rather surprising that while the straight government

candidates polled 415,143 votes the Republican vans totalled 236,101 and nearly 300,000 other voters pre- ferred to vote as Independents, Farmers, or for Labor candidates rather than for the government. Yet all the members of the govern- ment appear to have been elected which is also remarkable seeing that the government candidates polled but little over two-fifths of

the total vote. Yet journals sup- porting the admlnistratlon appear

to be fairly well satisfied with the result.

It is claimed that 73 per sent of the voters ar; favorable to the treaty under which the Free State is established, but it is quite plain that the government has not a maj- ority support in the House and mu-st depend for needed assistance upon members of other parties who ought to defeat ministerial candi- dates at the election. In Canada Premier King, although he has half the members of the House of Com- mons at. his back, has been several times rescued by the assistance of Progressives who seem not to greatly to appreciate such action.

Proportional voting as conducted In Ireland no doubt gives different results from those we are accus- tomed to in Oanada. It is designed especially to give representation to minorities. With our rather primi- tive and clumsy system it is pos- slble for very large minorities to remain wholly ' unrepresented as was the case with the Con-serva- tlves in Nova Scotia, Prince Ed- ward Island and Quebec at the fed- eral election of 192i. Our present system is not calculated to give fair results under such conditions as then existed. '

"n. if - .

It appears not yet to be definitely known whether the 44 Republicans elected In Ireland will or will not take their teats in the new Parlia- ment. After the last election they refused to do so on account of the oath required of all members and which implies a recognition of British soverelgnity. Apparently the objection must- still lbG as strong as it ever was. Much depends upon the decision of the Republicans in this matter. There is no doubt of their strong desire to obstruct the government in every way and pre- vent its working.

Apparently if they should refuse to take their seats that action

would strengthen the administra- tion which would be lcss likely to he dlstunbcd by thclr absence than by their presence. Some hints have been given, however, that if the Re- publicans elected do not take their seats-armed resistance to the con- stituted authorities may be resum- ed. This tls the one dorploralbie mit- come that is moot to ‘be feared and which it is 1.0 be hoped may not oc- cur.

The great majorilty of the Irish people desire the re-eetabllshmcnt of peace and order, which are so necessary to the well ‘being and prosperity of the country. This no doubt will in the end \be attained. but lwhlle, as the election shows more than a quarter of the voting population are irreconcllably oppos- ed to the new constitution and have not yet wholly abandoned the

spurpose of armed revolt the pros- pect of immediate paclilcatlon is

not so bright as could be wished.

Ireland new has full powers of self-government and her people must settle their own problems among themselves, free from out- side domination or interference. it should be an object of national pride and patriotism to prove tthut her lpeople are slble and desirous to govern themselves well, to repress disorder and give stability to their institutions. This we believe they will lbfl able to do. T-he common sense of a three-fourths majority will prevail in the end and even the present irreconcileables must come to see that further opposition to the new order of things is neith-

Mount Herbert R. R.

Sir,—Pcrmlt me to utilise some of the valuable space in your pal> er in order to express my views in regard to a certain movement which is in motion to reverse or change the- Mt. Herbert Rural Mail Route. _

I might say to start with that this movement was begun nnd car- ried to this point by u few lnen from Mt. Ryan and Glenfinnnn. who never seem to he satisfied no matter how much is thrown their way from either the Local or _D0- minion Governments. and I might add that our Dominion Represen- tatives might do well to l-IWQ 11115 matter their tindlvidcd ilitonllon. before they advocate any 911111189 in the above mentioned mall route.

I can truly state Lhat this 111911" ent system has given and slill_con- tlnucs to give the vnry best satis-

no one has heard of any comI11l1111" ts of any kind.

The Fort Augustus route during the teu years that lllicliael Bongen delivered the mall was nlslllv [Baiti- lsfactory to everybody» 11"" 1 in not as satisfactory now the 111111" clpal reason lies in tho courier having to go down to Johnstons Itlvor Bridge whcrc hc has no right to go as the residents there always got their mail from the oth- or courier on the Jchnstons Riv- cr Road. I have it from good au- thority that several of tho princi- pal residents of Mermaid who signed’ this petition, did so on the spur of the moment, an? had they taken time to consider llcY “T111111 not have signed their namcfl. 11b they were perfectly satisfied with the present system-

I might also add that if tho res- idents of Fort Alllzlltmlfl 111111 V191" lty signed a petition atlvocatlni; a change in the Mt. Herbert Routg it was because they were 111011119‘! their mall two hours earlier. but since they have seen the absurdity or this promise, they are 110111 ready and wlllinil. 01' 81 1911111 a nlarge majority of them to retract‘ their signatures. The Mt. Ilerber Courier arrives nt Johnstons Riy- er Post Office at or about 9.30 and if he can get there two hours enri- fer by reversing his route he would need to come up Johnstons River in n Seaplane.

In conclusion I would appeal to the Postmaster Post Office Inspect or and our two representatives for Queens who no doubt. have the in- terests of every tax-payer at heart to give this matter their strict at- tention and be not Ill-advised to change in any way an old estab- lished mall route that has always given the best of satisfaction.

No one knows what the Lord Chamberlain thinks about the Duchess! nickname, but thore is no doubt about the fact that he not does think it quite right for lesser mortals to refer to her in such an Informal manner. Just before her wedding one of the musical shows in London contain- ed a song about "Lizzie." It so happened that Lady Elizabeth at- tended the revue, heard the song and liked it. In fact, it amused her so much that she induced the Duke of York to accompany her hack to the playhouse a few nights later so that he might hear it, too. But the song was missing. Some one had told the Lord Chamberlain about- it, and that personage, whose job it is -to de- termine what is done and what is not done in the way ofetiquotte ill royal circles, had politely but firm- ly had the song suppressed.

Now what causes it?

Tlt is generally agreed

a disturbance ln the circulation of

blood has also something to do with it.

That mqn become bald oftener than women is due to the construc- tion of the blood vessels supplying the scalp by the unveulllated crowns of the modern hat.
