SAVAGE CAMP"

In describing the old-time Broais-
men of Norfolk Breads, England, the
author of "The Norfolk Breads" says
that these hardy fenmen were great
supporters of an old Norfolk pastime
called camping" which required
muscle and endurance of pain beyond
common limits, and apparently was
the precursor of football.
The game somewhat resembled

BRITISH PARTIES AND ISSUES

The recent dissolution of the work.
ing alliance between the Irish Nation
aists and the British Liberals has
brought about a marked change in
party alignment in Great Britain.
At the general election in 1906 the
Nationalist did not oppose the cleo
ton of Liberals in England, but work
cd in harmony with them for the de.
feat of the Conservatives. They did
so on the understanding that the Lib
erals favored home rule.
The alliance continued in Parlia-
ment, and the Nationalist supported
the party measures of the Liberals.
But when the Liberal bill for the re-
lief of Ireland was introduced, it
proved so unsatisfactory that the Irish
leaders asserted their determination
to resume the old policy of ndepend-
ent action for the purpose of forcing
a home rule bill from one party or the
other, and they have already begun to
contest the election of Liberals in by
elections.
The most of the Liberals are really
in favor Of home rule, but as the par
ty is not completely united on the is
sue, the leaders deem it unwise al
present to submit home rule bill to
Parliament. They are more nearly
unanimous in opposition to the Cham
berlain policy of tariff reform-givine
preference to the products of the
colonies, and certain measure OF
protection to home products. The
Liberals are consistent free-traders.
The Conservatives, on the other
hand, are opponents of home rule, and
advocates of closer union between
the colonies and the mother country,
even to the extent of a modification
of the free-trade system.
The Liberal Unionist party, formed
in 1886 by Liberals who opposed
Gladstone's Irish home rule bill, has
worked with the Conservatives for so
many years that it has practically
ceased to exist as a separate organiza-
ton. 1t presented candidates for Par
lament acceptable to the Conserva-
tives at the last election, and elected
twenty-seven of them, who follow
Mr.. Balfour as leader and vote as the
Conservative whips advise.
The Labor party, whose representa-
tives in the House of Commons were
counted independently for the first
time in the present Parliament, stands
for various socialstic measures, the
support of which by the Liberal ma
jority has weakened its hold on the
less radical section of the country
