POLITICS IN ENGLAND
is MORE RESPECTABLE

James Walter Smith writes from
london to the December Era:
Reputable men go into politics mere
and among these men are several who
have made literary regulations. They
do say that the moment literary man
gets inside the House, half of his pres
tige is gone. People look upon him as
a square peg in a round hole, and con-
seuuently advised him to drop politics
and stick to the pen.-forgetting mean
while. that many of the great figures OF
the past-Disraeli, Masaulay, Burke, TO
saw nothing of countless others,-were
distinctly literary statesmen, and, as
such. were distinct successes. But the
ambitious rarely take advice, and at
every. general election, a new lot Of lit
erary candidates spring up, pleading
for admission. into the charming pre-
cincts Of Westminster. Today, in the
House. may be found Mr.. John Morley,
Mr.. Balfour, Mr.. Bryce, Mr.. Winston
Churchill. Sir Charles Dixie, Mr.. Lee
XIV. Mr.. Gilbert Parker and Mr.. Henry
Norman, Of whom I have already writ
ten. It is a farely representative lot,
and Churchill Parker and Norman, In
a certain sense, still have their reputa-
tions to make. Conan Doyle and An
thony Hope" it may be remembered'
have been thwarted in their ambition
to go to the House, but the chances of
each are very good for the next cleo
ton.
