THE TNS4TISF4CTORY BRITISH
ELECTION

The net result Of the general election
in the United Kingdom which is now
practically ended must be regarded at
heart by both great parties as unsats-
factory. Each will, of course, make
some other profession. The government
will insist that its return with about
the same strength as in the last Parlia-
ment is a popular Endorsement and a
mandate for it 10 proceed with IFS poll
cies. The Opposition will insist the con-
traIy, and will claim that il has won
moral victory But each side must feel
that something like Scotch verdict of
mot proved has been rendered. leaving
each party in its old status on suffer
ance.
This feeling will not he mitigated by
the fact that the popular verdict has
been given by diminished jury of cleo

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The remarks of w P. H., of Brook
lyn, in The Tribune last week on the SUBJ
ject Of Ioosening up for Christmas, as pre-
viously noted in W. J. Lampton's Tribune
verseet, meet with my cordial disap q
provaI. He wonders "how many in our
great city think of their postman and
milkman on Christmas Day" Lord knows
how many do, but those who do not are
pretty likely to be reminded of it in some
way or other best known to the penefci-
aries of the reminder.
As ". P II. is wondering about the post
man and the milkman, I am also wonder
ing about the neWsboy on the corner, the
bootblack. the barber. the waiter, the jani-
tor, the chambermaid, the cook the ele-
vator boy, the A. d. T. messenger. the cab
man, the night watcFman, the policeman,
the marketman, the laundry boy the gar
bage man and few others who will log NV
dormant memory about the time the merry
Christmas bells begin to ring Maybe they
will get the price of the jog and maybe
they won't.
At the same time, may cay the careful
and prayerful attention of W. 2. H. to the
postal regulations. which will throw a post
man out OF his comfortable and we'll paid

the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tiyes of the power TO make committee

Yields what the voters have clearly indi-
Gated that they desire no future pTesid-
ing officer of the House of Representa-
tiyes TO possess.
The House has already partly accus-
toned itself TO a larger measure of self
government. 1t has done better work
under the new system than 1t did under
the old. and no political leader or politi-
cal party could afford to attempt TO re-
verse the hands of progress and go back
TO the ahsolutism which fell at last of
its OWL dead weight. The Senate gets
along well enough naming its own conf
mittees and there is no reason why the
House should not he able 20 apportion
the committee craftsmanship Greater re-
sponsibility and less servility will result
from distribution of authority, and the
leaders who exercise conjointly the
power of selection and promotion are
much more likely TO deal fairly with the
various elements in the House member
ship than one man, forced by tradition
and the necessities of his situatio TO
parcel out the best places on the conf
mittees largely as personal rewards.
