Son of American Moth er
is Now in the British
Cabinet.

OF all the changes in connection with the re-
construction of the Liberal administration in
England by the new Premier, Herbert Asuutth
there is none that has aroused a greater degree
Of sympathetic interest on this side of the At
lantic than the promotion Of young Winston
Churchill at the age of thirty-four, TO a seat
in the Cabinet as President of the Board Of
Trade. This is only natural. For by common
consent and his own grateful admission he is
largely indebted for his phenomenal success in
the political life of the British Empire to his
brilliant American mother, now Mrs. George
CORVALLIS West, widow of Lord Randolph
Churchill and daughter of Leonard Jerome, of
New York.
Possessed Of a marvellous degree of tact
combined with still greater quantum OF
political experience. she has been his wisest
and most trusted counsellor from the moment
when he first entered Parliament, and, enjoying
the reputation of having made Lord Ran
dolph, who has Justly been described as the po-
ltical comet of the Victorian era, she is now
in a fair way to do the same for his gifted SON
Whereas Lord Randolph's appearance the
horizon was as heetng that of most meteors
his amentable fall being due to fault OF
his own, but rather to the condition OF his
health Winston ChurchilFs presence in the
planetary system of political life seems destined
to be more enduring American traits inherited
from his mother appear to have tempered a GER
tain strain OF instability OF purpose, and even
eccentricity which has signalized the character
Of so many OF the Spencer Churchiils, and am
only voicing very general opinion among pub
lie men in England, that IL the new President
of the Board of Trade will only continue to be
guided in the future, rs in the past, by his
American mother, he may look forward to the
position OF Prime Minister of the huge British
Ernnire before many years have passed.

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.

Their first years in New York were years of
wild disorder with scant attention to any such
thing as religion. All the petty feuds of the
old country had been transplanted to the new
and there were frequent battles between the
various cannsh Organizati tions and secret soci-
cites, the 'Far-ups' and the Far downs" the
'Corconians' and the "COnn9ught Rangers"
Ambulances were in greater demand than
churches, and good surgeons were more in favor
than priests. but the will of the Church was in
domitable. 1t simply would not give up, and
finally Archbishop Hughes, who led the fight for
decency and order. put end to it all by deny
ing the sacraments TO members of the dscOrdant
organizations refusing Christian burial TO them
and by resort to similar means.
1t was in the midst of all this turmoil in the
diocese that a number of adventurers arrived
on the scene and tried to profit by the ignorance
OF the emigrants. Some of them appeared in
the guise Of cergymen disoyaI to the Church.
who attempted to further land colonization
schemes in the West by imposing upon the
credulity Of the newly arrived foreigners.
New-York tribune., 1908-04-19

There was an exciting incident one night here
when Archbishop Hughes, having succeeded in
attending unrecognized lecture given by one
Father Tracy in the interests of a land scheme
in Nebraska, arose and denounced him from his
place in the balcony of the hall.
1t is recorded of the first Italians in the dio-
oese that they turbulent as the early
Irish, if indeed not more So They were
for the greater part extremely poor and had
been driven from their homes by dire necessity.
They made no pretence of observing mass or
the saCraments, failed to give their children
religious training and even openly refused to
recognize the laws of the Church. Conditions
were rendered worse by the fact that compare
lively few of the priests then here spoke Italian
and none from Italy had followed the tide of

No better office. however. could have been
selected than this for the purpose of enabling
Winston Churchill to show his mettle and to
prove the extraordinarily wide range Of his at
tainments and the manysidedness OF his char
acter. That he will bring to the Board Of Trade
all that spirit of initiative. that zest for work
and that wonderful grasp of manifold problems
forever coming before the department which so
distinguished Joseph Chamberlain and David
Lloyd George is a foregone conclusion. But II
is just question whether he possesses the same
degree of the powers of conciation manifested
by the new Chancellor Of the Exchequer and the
great amount OF patience necessary in dealing
with that bugbear Of modern industry and COM
merce. namely, labor troubles. The necessity Of
averting these is OF paramount Importance, and
1t remains to be whether, with his some
what aggressive. quick and imperious manner.
he will prove satisfactory IN this respect as
David Lloyd-George.
Walter Runciman, who has likewise secured
promotion TO Cabinet rank Minister OF Edu-
cation, IS but two three years older at the
most than Winston Churchill, and although they
now share another's advancement and oc-
cupy seats in the same Cabinet. they were for
merly the bitterest Of political adversares. Run

constituency just twelve months later. The
Runcimans hail from Scotland and although
one of them was president of the Scottish Acad-
emy at the close Of the eighteenth century. the
father of Walter Runciman. the Minister of
Education. may be described a self made
man, for he went TO at the age Of twelve,
worked up through all grades. from ships boy to
