Ulster and Home Rule. 



Much is being said and written 

 about the determination of Ulster to 

 resist Home Rule, if need be, by force 

 of arms. Those who are in a position 

 to know laugh at the idea. Wliat has 

 Ulster to fight against? Not an army 

 of occupation ; that is unthinkable. 

 Half Lister, it may be remembered, is 

 for Home Rule, so resistance by the 

 other half would result, maybe, in riots, 

 which would be suppressed by the 

 police, assisted possibly by the mili- 

 tary. There is no prospect of organ- 

 ised armed resistance. The -tales of 

 weapons consigned to Belfast are no 

 sooner reported than they are contra- 

 dicted and discredited. Even Sir Ed- 

 ward Carson now doesn't say that 

 Ulster will fight. He is, he announced, 

 responsible for ever>thing. Why was 

 he not arrested? The Bill has again 

 been rejected, this time by a majorit}" 



of 238, by the House of Lords, and 

 demands for an appeal to the countr\- 

 on Home Rule are insistently made by 

 Unionists. No one, however, has given 

 the slightest guarantee that Lister 

 would acquiesce in the creation of a 

 self-governing Ireland if the Liberals 

 once more swept the country*. The 

 demands for a general election to test 

 the people on this measure are not sin- 

 cere. . It is merely a move on the part 

 of the "outs" who want to be the 

 "ins." So far as Ulster is concerned, 

 the feeling of the Orange minorit} 

 • there cannot change whatever orders 

 England, Scotland and Wales ma}" 

 crive through the baUot box. 



The Suffragettes and the Franchise. 



Miss Da\-idson, who died from the 

 injuries sustained when she threw her- 

 self in front of the King's horse at the 

 Derby, was accorded an imposing 

 funeral. Thousands of women, dressed 

 in white, going in solemn procession 

 before the coffin through the streets of
