The Commoner: The lovers of liberty throughout the world will rejoice at the prospect of home rule for Ireland. The outsider, who is unacquainted with the local conditions to be dealt with, may be excused if he confesses himself unable to discuss with intelligence the details for the measure. It is enough to know that the party in power and the representatives of Ireland agree that it is the best that can be passed and good enough to accept and defend. If it is not perfect it can be perfected later. It is the part of wisdom to secure today all the good obtainable today—no advance made today will prevent another advance tomorrow, and surely Ireland has waited long enough for this advance.
