Another was to love and lose, which would be a miserable experience, and a third was that instead of love being focussed on one woman, it would mean that it would be spread or divided among many and lato a wider area.

DRASTIC NEW MEASURES: DEATH PENALTY EXTENDED.

CARRYING OF ARMS.

The full text of the new Public Safety Bill, introduced in the Dail by President Cosgrave has been published.

It is a drastic docu- meat, and shows clearly the Gov ernment's determination to put an end to the irregular and dangerous elements who have openly and secretly agitated against the very existence of the State.

Mr. E. R Price, seconding his brother's motion, advanced views that it was a good experience for a man to have loved and lost, and drew

a parallel with "He who fights and runs away will live to circles realised how serious the Few people outside Government fight another day." He quoted a situation was if its measure is the philosopher as saying that sym-measure of the steps now proposed pathy was often brought about by to be taken.

Mr. Sandes, seconding the "op position" siso acknowledged his Scexperience." He suoted Eip. ling and observed that "first love had little, feeling but lot of curiosity."

Ultimately the majority voted by 20 votes against 24 that it was better "never to have loved" than to have loved and lost."

The Bill, with or without amendment, will become law and from that moment the Government will be furnished with a mighty instrument of good or harm.
