Irish Industrialist, who died on Saturday, for more than forty years filled a unique position In Irish life. His name principally was with the establishment of agricultural co-operative societies, and his work In this respect was ad mired and Imitated In many countries. But he also was foremost In aU activities having as their aim the combination of all Irishmen for the nation's welfare Irrespective of their politics or creed. Born, October 24. 1854, the son of the sixteenth Baron Dunsany, and educated at Eton and Oxford, he went to America In 1879 at the age of 25. For several years he engaged there In cattle ranching, and never lost his connection with the United States which he visited almost ev-! erv year. All his life he -was. a. man . , of delicate health and spent part of each year in a sanatorium at Battle Creek. When he conceived the Idea of cn-operatlve agriculture as a means of ameliorating Irish life he was forced to realize that In 1889, and for very many years afterward, no'hiiig could be done In Ireland without some contact with politics. Hi.s mission, as he expressed it, was the disinfection of Irish poll-tics with common sense." He had to Identlfly himself, nerevtheless, with some DOllUcal party, and he started as a Unionist, entering the British! Parliament as Unionist member for ! 'South Dublin County. His speeches I against Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule , I Bill often In later years were quoted against him. But he was a sincere believer in Ireland's right to self-government i and. as he said to the Associated, Press In Dublin, objected to Home Rule mainly because the land ques tion was then unsettled. Helped Settlement When Lloyd George In 1917 made a last attempt at an Irish settle ment by agreement among Irish men. Sir Horace was the chairman of the Irish convention, represent ing all parties (except Sinn Feint and including Ulster. It failed to reach agreement, though It did mueh to put before the world the ease for Irish self-government. Sir Horace then founded the Irish Dominion League, aiming at the establishment In Ireland of a self-governing dorrllnlon on the model of, Canada. Its effect on the even tual settlement reached by the treaty was apparent. Hp was a nrollflc writer, contin ually Issuing books and pamphlets Qn prantlcal Irish problems. Sir Horace was a vaiuca incnu oi Theodore Roosevelt with whom he was in frequent correspondence and whom he repeatedly visited in Am erica. Personally. Sir Horace was a man of singular charm. No Irishman of his generation had so many sincere friends nd admirers among men oi all sections. The leaders of the Sinn Fein movement, even when their struggle was at Its bitterest, repeatedly expressed their appreciation of his worth. When the Free State came Into being he was, with universal approval, nominated as one of the I original members of the Senate. Dr. Wrlnch Urges Government to, Keep Up Standard of Univer sity of British Columbia VICTORIA.
