It they Are afraid of exerting themselves by do they not sign us Bill Hurley and is Moose jaw outfit and give Hurley a free hand to gather some Good players at the coast.

D.d., who died last night at his re Emeard 24t Elm Avenue we amount. After an la Knees Okte Oding Over Oliree years. The late or. Dewey was for a years Pealor of Stanley Anreei Presb Terlan Church from which charge he. Waa obliged to resign Home months ago on account of 111 health. Throughout his career in be Wpm Cir identified Wanh work and the foreign element and the poorer says bi1lfour is fail hers Leader continued from Lowers have a quiet Faith in Irish Home Rule As the beginning of Federal Home Rule and of a closer Union the whole Empire. Thus it is Clear except some Small Section of the irreconcilable of Tho Ulster orangemen and of the old school tories like lord Hugh Cecil even the tory fight against Lime Rule is half hearted. The unionist party in end and to Day can be compared to a body of men who finding themselves upon a High Road Well paved Broad and Clear Are tempted to try and make their Way Home through a bog which seems to be a Short Cut. Every step they take Only sinks them deeper in and they Back and not Forward. Since the portentous Day they made up their minds to the desperate step of rejecting Lloyd George s budget they have never had an hour s Luck. I attending a Catherine in the new York press club on the night when the Cable came Over announcing that lord Lansdowne had Given notice of an amendment which meant the death of the budget. I then and there declared that it was the beginning of the end of Tho House of lords and the certain and Early Advent of Home Rule. And every Erent that Hau happened in the interval has i think confirmed that View. Several weeks ago Winston Churchill. In u passage of almost cruel vigor threw at air. Balfour the taunt that the tory party had gone from defeat to defeat from disaster to disaster since the death of lord Salisbury that is to Sav since the Day when or. Balfour succeeded to the leadership. . Balfour has great parliamentary courage and tire serves his equilibrium in circumstances of great difficulty. But now and then he has a fit of almost girlish shy Ness and when he gets one of these fits he holds Down his head just like a schoolgirl detected in a fib. And seems sheepish and lost. And he looked like that when Churchill threw that terrible and True taunt at him across the floor of the House like so Many men beaten the tory party is now striking wildly it seems to change the policy from week to week and oven from hour to hour and it throws out proposals of the most far reaching and revolutionary character without thinking them out or without filling in the details. What is the explanation of this extraordinary fit of Folly instability of purpose and change of plan that Lias come on a once powerful party upon u party which up to 1906 seemed destined to Rule England Balfour lacks it is to be sought partly in the Char ctr of the tory leadership partly in Lite condition of the party itself. Four As i have said has some extraordinary gifts As a parliamentarian inc Laus Tible , conciliatory manners there is perhaps no Man in the ii ouse of commons who has fewer per Sonal enemies and greater courage and tenacity. But he lacks one great characteristic of. A Leader Cour Asre of the prompt kind what Napoleon used to Call o clock in the morning which impels a Man to see that a cer Tain moment is decisive that it re quires a decisive act and that on that moment depends the whole future. When Chamberlain started his new protectionist Campaign Balfour might Lave defied Chamberlain Jie had half the tories with hlm4 and he had All its really intelligent men but Balfour hesitated Sli irked the encounter with Chamberlain allowed his intelligent free Trade colleagues to gradually disappear from his Side and in Short gave up the keys of the Citadel to Chamberlain and from that moment he and t he tory party were lost. From that moment it became a High Tariff party which in England Means destruction. And. While Balfour lost himself he did not save his party flee Tariff re formers the most Active and at the same time the least intelligent Section of the tory party began a Tierce vendetta against every tory who was a free trader. They knifed any such tory when he came before the party caucus in any constituency As a. Candidate they expelled every tory free trader one by one. Lord Hugh Cecil is the Only one left and he would have been destroyed also but that his principles As a violent and a narrow and a Sacerdotali St a Lam anglican secured him the presentation of Oxford University which rules the and the parsonage of the anglican Church. Lost himself and party. But there again in accepting Tariff form Balfour lost himself and lost his part. He has for eight years shown a dexterity and inexhaustible resourceful Ness a marvellous craftiness which has enabled him to keep the whole work and most All of his own followers in Complete uncertainty As to what his real views Are with regard to Protection. It is Only certain that he is not a True and thorough going protectionist that Thousia lie has flirted with All kinds of things approaching Protection he has always succeeded in elude is the embrace of full Protection however much that perilous political Siren was forced tyms follow ers into his arms. And this has broken his leadership. He is distrusted he s even hated by a Large number of his own followers. All really extreme protectionists regard him As a More dangerous and More effective enemy to the cause of Protection than Asquith Lloyd George Churchill or any other open enemy of the other aide in politics. The ardent protectionists do not conceal their Vierus. They Are expressed with crude emphasis by such protectionist his fliers As Maxse the editor of the National review one of the extreme protectionist organs. There is a Little print called the com enter which la seen by but a few Penis it is strongly tory but it contains some attack on Balfour in every Issue one of the jokes of the time is that there is a club known As the that is the Balfour must it is a joke of course but a joke which hides a fact and a truth. Thus Liere is no leadership of the tories any longer in the House or commons. Things Are even worse in the House of lords. Lord Lansdowne Lias Many of Tea qualities required in a tory Leader and especially in such a body As the House of lords. That is one of the most Peculiar bodies in the world. With Stony faces with compressed lips with languorous by impassive de Meanor the lords sit and listen. Downe. Frigid to in Lens slow in speech uttering even words of War and Defiance As if he were giving the time of Day to a Mere acquaintance seems the Ideal Man for addressing so cold blooded and unemotional an Assembly. He too. Is one of themselves a Deer of ancient descent of vast possessions both in eni and in Ireland a Eon and grand son and descendant of men who always have held High office with the distinction of manner which belongs to the English grand Seigneur and full of every landlord prejudice that any Mem decor the House of lords could desire. Lost touch with party. Laiu Downe has lost touch with has pity in the lords in spite of All his advantages. He has done so by accept the fatal Alliance of lord Rosebery. That Man who has led every Friend who followed him to disaster the same As his own. And Rosebery dragged lans Downe along until he him to aban Don the one principle which could keep the tory Peers together. In the course of the general election made the fateful though not accurate announcement that the old House of lords had ceased to exist that it was but Tjie Bac woodsmen then made their protest and showed that they were very much alive. They do not want to be doomed. They want to pre serve their titles their Robes their right to appear in the House of lords if they Slih and for that reason Many of them would rather accept Asquith s veto Bill. I Tilch at least leaves them the House of lords though it robs them of some of but even this is not the end of the complication in the tory party. In the commons there is a Large number of Young tories who Are ready and totter to rid of the hereditary principle Al together and wish to see a second Cham Ber which is purely elective. They have pressed their strongly on Balfour and but air. Balfour and Lansdowne dared not propose any such scheme in the face of the determined revolt of the and per also because they themselves arc too obstinately conservative to take a leap in the dark. Balfour and Lansdowne Are thus be tween two fires in their Pirty the Back woodsmen and the ardent reformers and every Day they change their plans. They to world the impression of having lost their senses and their nerve and Asquith is Able to so on his Coultm with All the appearance of a triumphant conqueror whom nothing can withstand. Whoa. All to the Brood. Ca for Inland and Bome a Semi ready suit stands out and looks its Worth you can Tell a Man who is a so you can clothes.
