oHamnERLAIN.s REsIeMATIoN.

7 OSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, colonial
secretary. is running Emperor Will
liam and our own president close race
in his programme of spectacular polit-
ical surprises. His resignation from the
Balfour cabinet was as unexpected and
dramatic as anything in British poll
tics: and his reason for resigning as
peculiar a piece Of strategy as one
would expect from this past master Of
ingenious denouements
Ostensibly Mr.. Chamberlain has re-
signed because Mr.. Balfour does not
go far enough in his advocacy of pro-
lection. At the same time Mr.. Richie
steps out Of the same cabinet because
he thinks Mr.. Balfour is too radical in
his statement of a protective pro-
gramme.
To an outsider it looks as though Mr..
Chamberlain had retired for a time in
order that Mr.. Balfour may hold on to
office while the colonial secretary edu-
Gates his party to acceptance Of a pro-
tective theory. Then when the time
seems opportune an appeal to the coUn-
try VIII be taken and both Chamber
lain and BalfoUr reap the fruits of vic
tory, II they win. Possibly this is an
Incorrect and unjust view; but it is one
that comedies pretty well with what is
known Of Mr.. Chamberlain's tactics in
former crises.
The issue IS pretty we'll defined, too,
IN spite of Mr.. Chamberlain's adroit
attempt to befog it. 1t is a simple
question as to whether the food OF the
people shall be taxed as a measure de-
signed to bring the colonies into closer
political union with the empire. OPP
ponents of the measure denounce it as
Unscientific, illogical and retrogressive
They say it will not accomplish its pur-
pose; that it can only rebound to the
advantage Of tory landlords, and that
the colonies themselves will not accept
st as a political measure.
Americas interest in the outcome Of
the situation is very great. y CONNER
ciaI union of the colonies with the
mother country means tariff aimed at
American foodstuffs. It means the ex-
clusion Of the American farmer, cattle
grower, sheep raiser from the British
market as far as possible. Being a
simple adoption of our own system, we
cannot well protest against it, but its
effects would be little short of disas-
trous for a period at least, while Can
ada and Australia would get a proper
Tomato advantage.
On the other hand. the adoption of
protection as outlined by Chamberlain
would mean dearer food for the Brit
ish artisan. The manufacturer would
Inevitably lose a great part of his mar
ket i'm the countries Disseminated
against. With dearer food the cost of
manufacture would advance or the
workman be compelled TO accept lower
wages than he now receives. Either
horn of the dilemma presents an un-
pleasant alternative for the Briton, and
IL win require all of Mr.. Chamberlain
ability and power Of persuasion to save
his party from disastrous defeat on an
appeal to the voter. unless the English
people have changed very much in the
last decade.
From this distance It looks as though
the conservative leaders had under
taken a hopeless contract; if they win
one may believe the day of miracles
is stiu with us.

JEROME SPEAKS OUT.

n ISTRICT ATTORNEY JEROME Of
II New York City has never been &C
cUsed Of an unwillingness to speak his
mind fully. freely and frankly. With
the New York mayoraIty campaign Just
beginning, he has found it desirable to
say a few things about Mayor Low,
who was elected tive. years ago as a
fusion candidate on the same ticket
with Mr. Jerome, and who is to be the
fusion candidate against Tammany
again this year. In a letter to a friend.
letter OF which Mr.. Jerome gave a
copy 60 the newspapers, he says Of
Mayor Low:
Il have satisfied myself by careful
inquiry that the great mass Of people
TO whom we must look for support in
the coming campaign believe that Mr..
Low cannot be reelected. and that
while they may give a hearted
support to him for the sake Of the
cause, they cannot overcome their dis
like and distrust Of him. Egotism.
self-complacency and constitutional
timidity are not the elements to make
a leader, nor do they attract the love
and support Of an American electorate.
you may be able TO fool al of the
people some OF the time. but not when
the matter about which you wish to
deceive them is an open secret. You
know, or ought to, that the Republican
district leaders believe with practical
unanimity that Mr.. Low cannot be re-
elected, and that very much more than
a majority have expressed themselves
I'm substantially the language used by
one of them 70 me: We cannot help
his nomination; put him up and let him
get it in the neck The sincerity that
was ia the campaign OF 1901 gave US
the victory Should Mr.. Low be re-
nominated under the existing condi-
tions. we should commence the cam
paign patiently insincerely."
There is a good deal more along the
same lines, but enough has been quoted
TO show that the sO-called reform"
administration. which was really a Re
publican administration, has given
scant satisfaction in New York. The
reforIaers. self-styled, are duarreling
among each other and with q good.

THE VILLAGE SUNDAY.


ct He PROBLEM of the Village sun
L day" is discussed by II. +. Abel
in the National Review for september.
NIr. Abel confines himself entirely to
English villages. but many Of the state
ments he makes are applicable 10 the
United states. He has little patience
with those who would restrict the
dwellers in villages to mere fdleness on
Sunday, and declares that wholesome
sports should be encouraged rather
than frowned upon.
He points out that the social SUI
periors of the villager have no hesita-
ton about INDUCING in sport on sun
day. They play golf, they drive their
automobiles and they engage in tennis,
croquet and other reCreatiOns. 1T is
absurd" says Mr.. Abel, Ito suppose
that what the Precisians, or Puritans.
or Sabbatarians. or whatever they may
be called, describe as Dissertation Of
Sunday, and what we would rather call
wholesome Sunday recreation, can stop
with the classes and go no lower.
THE veriest country clod must
sometimes ask why he is debarred from
INDUCING in his humble games upon his
one leisure day of the seven, and he
viii continue to ask the question so
long as no straight, honest, satisfactory
answer is given him. Why. the very
parson who would judge him severely
If he and half dozen companions
were to dare to pitch their wicket or fix
their goal posts on the village green on
| a Sunday afternoon, sees no wrong in
taking tea at house where tennis and
crOquet have been in full swing since
! lunch"
It does seem hard to deny the man
who works hard six days week lit
/ tie healthful recreation on the seventh
day. There is no recreation for the
| average individual. man or boy. in go
ing to hear a sermon in the morning, in
/ stuhing a big dinner in the afternoon
and in spending the balance Of the
/ time moping around and wishing the
| day was over. There is, of course, al
ways the tendency to overdo the thing
which must be considered.
/ We do not believe. though, that
/ healthy-minded Americans will ever do

/ The national game in England is crick-
| ct, in the United States it is baseball.
/ A game Of baseball or Sunday for peo-
/ pie who have no opportunity to play
! il or see it on week days can hardly do
| harm to an immortal soul. Understand.

/ be the gamer if some of the rigid lines
now drawn, especially in the small
/ towns and villages, could be relaxed.

In Colorado some time lack party
went camping in the mountains They
had several pack mules anG one mem
Der of the party-an eastern U1an-was
told that mules never died. The cook
quit after two days work and the
campers agreed TO take turns at cook

man came around he remained in camp
to prepare the dinner. Will rae others

concluded to boil some dried apples and
filled a pot with them, pouring on some
water. He placed the Dot on the fire
and went away for a time. When he

brought them back and threw them
away. Shortly after returning 60 the

behind him and rushed around the tent.
What he saw enabled him TO earnestly
