Tour of America

visiting western cities. He has heavy
mining and timber interests in the
Northwest and Canada. He said that
his stay here depended upon the
budget which is now being considered
in the house of commons. He is
strongly opposed to the measure. be-
lieving it to be socialistic and if the
house of commons passes it which he
believes it will do, he will return to
England to vote against it in the
house of lords. Speaking of the
woman's suffrage movement, which
he declared to be a senseless one. he
said:

far greater an honor for a woman
than to direct the affairs of the ma
ton. 1t is in this sphere that she
shines and it is true in every way that
the hand that rocks the cradle is the
hand that guides the world. But the
hand cannot be on the affairs of state
and rock the cradle too. She cannot
fill both places and do it will 1t is
