easy. What would have been the
result? Why your cartoonists
would have pictured me as tower

TO FORCE BALFOUR OUT
Unionists Blame Him for All De
feats and Demand Retirement.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.


London, Dec. 29-Strenuous efforts
are being made by the more active sec
tion Of the Unionist party to force Mr..
Balfour to resign the leadership of the
Opposition. He is roundly blamed for
all the defeats which in the last five
years have fallen. to the lot of the
Unionists. Under Mr.. Balfour the party
has had to stand the cost of three gen
eral elections hand running.
Influential Unionist organs like 1.-The
World" and 1.-The National Review
frankly admit that so long as Mr.. Bal
four retains the leadership there is little
hope of the party regaining its infiu-
ence in state or national affairs.
The Review says Mr.. Balfour has
the fatal defect in a democratic leader
Of talking language which the people
cannot understand and of being as COM
pletely out of touch with 1.-The man in
the street" as the man in the street
is out of touch with him.
1.-THE World" feels bound to acknowl-
edge that in the last election campaign
Mr.. Balfour went from weakness TO
weakness and from one untenable posi-
ton to another until his most faithful
followers were left in confusion and
rerplexity.
But not one of Mr.. Balfour's critics
can suggest any one fit to take ms
Jlace.

money to the manufacturers is that
devised by New York woman. 1t
will also save householders money in
localities where doormat thieves ply

at all to fold it up at night and stick
it in the vestibule. The mat is made
of metal, with two side bars and a
surface of pivotally connected Stats,
like folding gates. Attached to oppo-
site ends of the side bars are cross
bars, by means of which the mat may
be held in position when in use. 9th
