ENGLISH POLITICS.

Divided party strength in England
gives rise to much confusion on this
side. where the third party is a neg
ligible quantity. The Liberals, 10
which party the ministry belongs
controlled the last parliament
through a coalition with the Irish
Nationalist and the Iaborites. The
Conservatives, who outnumber the
Liberals, but not the combined
strength of the ministry, compose
the opposition, and include all known
as Unionists. who are fighting the
Irish Home Rule idea.
The Conservatives control the house
of lords, being the aristocratic party,
carrying with it the great strength
of the established church, and its
bishopric represented in the house
of lords The Liberals poll the great
strength of the Protestant non-con-
formist churches in England-for re-
ligious differences still are strongly
marked over there-and to the pro-
testants of the Liberal party are
united in this contest the Catholics
of ireland, who compose the Irish
Nationalist party.
The coalition, which seems to hold
for another parliament Is a drag to
the Liberal party. The ministry can
not go further in carrying out a Lib
eral program than its allies permit.
nor can it expect their support of
Liberal policies. in which they
are not directly interested as
party measures. until It has "deliv-
cred the goods" to the Nationalist
and Laborites The Liberal ministry
must be embarrassed by these de-
mands; for parties, which represent
classes and single interests are nee
essarily deaf to the general welfare
of the country and dominated by their
own radicals. and sometime the Lib
eral ministry will find II impossible
to give its allies what they demand,
or acqulescing, will offend the coun-
try and receive the rebuke of an
overwhelming Conservative majority.
Bot for the present the coalition
is welded by circumstances, the in
terests OF the people generally in
many instances conforming to the
demands of the radical parties
Questions OF opening the great game
preserves of the nobility, embracing
a tenth of England, for agricultural
purposes; labor pensions in an in
dustrial nation; absentee landlord
ism in Ireland; stricter liquor laws,
Conservative members Of the house
of lords owning shares in breweries
and distilleries, obviously for the
purpose of controlling their votes;
revision of taxes, which are burden
some on the commons, who own lit
tie, and light on the nobility, who
own most OF the land; the establish
ed church, as opposed to non-com-
formist churches-all these issaes
are TO the front In England and the
Conservative party is tied up by ira
dition and selfish interests to a re-
dictionary policy.
The ministry Is demanding that
the king create enough new peers to
give the Liberals majority in the
house OF lords; but IL is doubtful
whether the king will do that until
an overwhelming majority of the
country oompels him to acquiesce as
a measure of protection to the
throne itself.
The coalition has practically won

STATE PRESS AND THE CENSUS.

many of our agricultural counties
have lost much of their population
because of high priced lands and
farmers drifting to cheaper lands in
the west. The failure of our cities to
grow faster can only be explained,
we think, by present taxation laws
which began with the adoption OF the
present state constitution in 1891.
A 50 city tax rate. together with 81
more for county and state purposes,
which we have here in Owensboro,
S certainly not conducive to the in
vestment of capital in the open. VIII

Railroad Campaign OF Education

J. w. Aydon. Publicity Agent Of the
p, B. & w. Railroad visited our town
last week and talked with our school
board concerning the placing OF pos
ters IN Our schools. These are to
warn the children of the danger OF
making public highways OF this dan
gerous ground.
For the last six months the company
has been carrying on strenuous cam
campaign OF education, aiming to do
away with the dreadful loss OF life
resulting from carelessness along
these lines.
Large numbers OF traffic police are
in the employ of the company, notices
are posted at all dangerous points
and now their latest step, placing pos
ters on public school property.
Mr.. Aydon, in speaking OF the great
need for this cultivation Of care, told
of an incident which happened in
Maryland only few weeks ago The
family lived in suburb of Washing
ton, doing their marketing and gen
eral buying in that place. When re-
turning laden with packages they were

Thanksgiving Sermon
For ''P0St" Readers

"For good life and good health, for
good company and good cheer, may
the giver o, al good things make us
thankful"
Our greatest blessings are those
which are common to ALTAR removed
from any power of riches or chance.
With life that precious spark which
Providence youchsafes or withholds,
let us head the list of our Thanksgiv-
ing blessings. When the sun shines
and the air is bracing, how the very
JOY OF being tiny part Of the great
universe possesses us. Our every
pulse becomes thanksgiving and
every breath a song.
What if our most cherished plans,
our long-sought desires have been
denied? We know the pruning makes
the fruitage greater by and by.
II this life is crowned with perfect
health, how priceless is the posses
sion. We have been intrusted with a
msrve lous piece OF mechanism, SO
wonderful that man with all his knowl-
edge and skill can never attain unto it..
Did you ever pause to consider the
hundreds of fine parts. the slight dis
arrangement of any one of which will
cause such intense suffering? We can
only exclaim over the wonder of its
working.
Good company! America is around
US. We are surrounded with kindness
and good fellowship everywhere. There
are few we meet in the daily hustle Of
affairs who do not have some quality
to attract if we leave Our gray spec
tacles behind, and open Our eyes to
see. Have you lost the companion
ship OF your greatest friend? Look
for the good in others and you will
find his most lovable qualities there.
The worlds good and great are
within the realm of all as they range
themselves i'll friendly array upon the
book-shelves of the twentieth century.
For our heritage of books give thu nks,
for there indeed we may find natures
and moods that respond to our own.
Give thanks for the gospel of good
cheer Sing, oh sing with joyful
voice" is at last being understood
Christianity is now religion OF good
cheer The first thanksgiving recog-
nized no such form Of gratitude as that
OF Joy. Seriousness and sadness were
then the prime virtues. Give thanks
for the git of leing glad. God has
meant ioI us all to share nature S
gladness. The great gifts upon which
Our joy is based are those which may
be the possessions OF all-life, health
spirit free from the pangs OF wrong
doing, sunshine, air, the beauty of the
hills, the wonder of the stars--these
depend on no social position, they
represent no earthly reward Fo,
these blessings lei us lift heart filled
with thanks
Rejoice in the power OF work. Let
us make our gratitude for life, good

THE PLAIN STORY OF
ONE POOR WOMAN

This Is just the plain story Of a
plain woman. It's not "newsy"
story. Here is a simple statement
of facts, with a mute appeal con.
tained therein.
Three weeks ago young woman
came to Spokane from New York.
She sought for work. She could not
find work. She went to the down.
town quarters of the Salvation
Army. From there she was sent
to the Salvation Army maternity
home, because 1t was thought that
possibly she might assist in the
household work.
She would not tell her real story.
other than to say that she had
heard that everybody had jobs in
the west and that it was easy to
get work. She admits she has rela-
tives in the east. But the woman
has drawn a thick veil across the
real facts. Good Captain Bertha
Smith of the maternity home says
that the women rarely will tell the
real story. They either are too
ashamed or they desire to shield
people who have wronged them.
Women endure more in complete
and accomplishing silence than any
man could stand for day, in spite
of soothing his spirits by wailing
and telling the whole world about
his troubles.
