IHE armistice between the two
battling parties, in British poll
tics, which followed the death
OF Edward VII. cooled the passions of
men on both sides and led to a gem
erai desire to settle the controversy
.DefWeen the two houses of parliament
by compromise. The party leaders
agreed to confer and they selected four
sFadlcals representing the ministry and
-FOUR tories representing the opposi-
ton and gave them pIenary powers to
treat This unofficial commission to
decide the fate of the constitution of
the greatest nation on earth had no
standing In law, but with the spirit of
commence in public servants so char
acterlstlc OF the British people, prac-
tlcally all discussion of this great ques-
ton was stopped. 1t was a truce of
God With charming simplicity the
British empire delegated its future to
Aght men and called them The Con-
ference Sometimes someone would say
constitutional Conference" but usu-
ally the one word with its capital ''C''
was sufficient.
No Chance for Agreement
The conference met % times Not
word leaked out of the council cham
ber- The whole nation waited breath
lessiy for the decision, but it also
waited patiently and with confidence.
The British people were divided into
Two camps and each camp was repre-
scented in the parley by four men. AS
matter of fact there was not the
slightest chance of an agreement The
question under consideration was fund
amental- If one of the four Radicals
had wavered, the democracy of the
nation would have torn him limb from

lated in the slightest material matter.
the aristocracy of Britain would have
drunk his blood.
Finally the end came. The prime
minister announced through the press
In four lines of type the fact that the
conference had come to no agreement
The truce was ended and matters were
back where they stood when death
claimed Edward VII and elevated
George Y. to the throne The Liberal
government was unwilling to proceed
to Its business of legislation unless it
was assured that it had a chance of
passing its measures into law With
the house of lords controlled by an
overwhelming majority of Tories there
was no such chance under the exist
ing constitution. The commons had
won before the people in their con-
tention that they might control the
money bills. But the government was
not content to go on unless its powers
were enlarged so that it might con-
slider other matters of legislation with
some reasonable hope of success. The
parliament Areassembled and the veto
bill was brought out

The prime minister, with that direct

man who is slave to the calendar. said
the conference had failed and that
there was no use of keeping up the
farce any longer. Either the peoples

have that right and power. The bill

Women Hate BungIerx.
Another item in pleasing women is to
know how 10 take care of yourself and
the lady Women hate bunglers. and

Therefore, son. if you want to make a

dance so that you will not trample all
over the feet of your partners. Acquire

is no man for whom a woman has a
more profound contempt than she has

rants. and ushers in theaters. and street
car conductors. Nor does it entertain
a woman to have to sit up and stifle
her yawns while she listens to a man
tell how wise, and great, and big ne is.
Intuition Needed.
Pay attention to your clothes Don't
delude yourself into the belief that the
very minute her eyes rest on you a wo-
man doesn't know II your collar is too
low, and your sleeves too short and
your trousers bag at the knees Her
first look tells her whether YOU are the
kind of man she will be proud to be
seen out with or whether she will have
to fib to her friends, and attribute your
not knowing how to dress to an eccen-
tricity of genius. And between taking
a promenade with a good coat and
genius, the woman would choose the
coat nine times out of ten.
No matter how much you are in love
with woman, never permit yourself to
show her how fast she has got you go
ing There isn't a woman living who
can resist wiping her feet on the man
who makes a doOrmat of himself before
her. Besides, men are not the only
ones who enjoy the excitement of the
chase
Finally, try to understand the things
in which a woman is interested. Show
her sympathy and comprehension All
the great fascinators among men have
been men who were intuitive. men with
delicate perceptions who could pene-
trate into the depths of the feminine
soul Nor is this strange. You must
have the key to the lock of woman's
heart if you would open it.

reform of the upper chamber volun-
tarily abandoning the hereditary prin-
ciple in part and making sweeping
concessions with respect to the form of
their house. But their concessions
were not such as to convince the Liber-
ais that they would result in the con-
troll of the house by any other than the
aristocratc and plutocratic elements
now dominant there. The Radicals de-
sired to end. not mend, the second
chamber in its present character
So the lords passed their reform"
resolutions and the commons passed
their veto bill, each house ignored
the action of the other and the king,
by advice of his ministers dissolved
the parliament and the campaign for
a general election was ON.
Personnel of COnferees.
In the conference the Liberals were
peer. the Conservatives by two peers
and two conmoners The Radical MEM
bers were Mr.. Asquith. Mr.. Lloyd
George, lord Crewe and Mr. Birreli.
The Tory cOnferees were Mr.. Balfour,
lord LansdOwne, lord Cawdor and
Austen Chamberlain. But whether no
bles or cOmmoners, the eight men d.
vided, as Englishmen will, with refer
ence to the substance and not the form
of things Lord Crewe, judged by his
record as the leader of the government
in the house of lords, is well nigh as
radical a Democrat as is Mr.. Lloyd
George himself. Mr.. Balfour. although
a commoner, IS of the Cecil blood and
an aristocrat who sincerely and hon.
estly believes that the triumph of the
democratic forces would mean the end
of all that is great and glorious and
good in England.
If the conference had had under con-
sideration political quarrel. a fnan-
ciaL question. social problem, or any
thing other than a fundamental con-
stitutional issue. there is little doubt
but that a compromise would have
been reached. The Englishman swears
by compromise. II represents the fair
play doctrine of give-and-take and it
is by a series of compromises that
John Bull has cemented the stones Of
his unmatched national edi1ce. The
British constitution is nothing more
than series of compromises, more Of
ten expressed in gentlemen's agree
ments than in official proclamations.
The king is bound TO act by the ad-
vice of the ministers as a result of a
long series of compromises in which
the crown gradually gave up one after
another of its prerogatives in exchange
for the boon of its perpetuation.
The Irish Question.
The most difficult purely political
problem in British affairs is the Irish
question Ireland has been ruled
against its will by the English for a
matter of 700 years A little more than
a century ago its separate parliament
was extinguished by the treachery OF
its own representatives. corrupted by
English promises and brides. Ever
since the passage of the Act Of
Union the Irish have been struggling
by every means at hand TO get back
their freedom, at least a far as their
internal affairs were concerned In
the past half century the nature of
their demands has been expressed by
their slogan Home Rule for Ireland. ;,

leader, gradually progressing towards

relating a long list of ailments and
misfortunes.
Haven't you often heard a woman ex-
claim with gusto, And not only that
my dear. the worst is still to come,
etc, ETC.
Even though you do feel rather mis-
cradle, don't say so.
OF course this does not apply to your
own family; though even they VIII
grow weary if the tale is repeated too
often.
The Smiles Value.
But do not wall to the world at large.
Present a smiling face as long as you
can.
Did you ever see the picture of "Smil-
ing Joe,'' the little corsumptive VINO
was strapped to a board night and day
for several years? He made himseiI
famous by his sunny cheerfulness and
beautiful smile.
When people ask you the conversa-
tional How do you do they neither
expect nor care to hear recital OF
your ills
Here is a little bit of advice: Don
talk too much about yourself. and don
be critical.
1t is provincial to be critical Those
who are not used to having much are
usually the most critical.
If you must talk about yourself, talk
about your joys, not your woes.
Your friends will grow tired of toe
large a dose, even of the former, but
they can stand that better than the
latter
If you really are not WELL say so. but

A BASHFUL SUITOR

Well" she began, what kind OF
wife do you want? -.
That was just the difficulty. He
studied the pattern of the carpet the
ceiling, the stove, and at last turned
his eyes on the widow, and looked at
her closely. For the first time In his
life he realized she was beautiful
Il really can't tell You just what

Well said the widow. who seemed

Larsen was sure of it.

He did not know what to answer and

widow left him to himself and
slipped away into the next room She
knew he a1ored music and with tie

time she sang simple little ballad,
that brought tears to his eyes. Oh, II
he could only marry the woman who

Mrs. Jensen came back

WOMEN BETTER RULERS.
Professor Says 5aseness Has
Progressed With Men in Control.

8 Women were the first rulers OF the
world, and since the domination OF man
the world has progressed steadily in
cruelty and baseness declared Prof.
w. E. Clark of the University OF Ghi-
cago before the Spencer class.
That long before the advent of CHS
tianity women reigned and man was
merely an incident, the speaker de-
clared, and added that at that time the
world was less harsh and more sympa-
sthetic. st
Professor Clark pointed out how man
gradually, in the course OF centuries
shattered the rule of woman through
the use of his greater animal powers
and after supplanting her as ruler en-
shaved her.
He declared that woman's rule be-
gan with the origin OF the very dawn
of civilization itself.
In the first state Of primitive man,
he said, the relationship between
father and child was not known; the
right of the mother to her children was
undisputed.
He said THAI the father, having no
part in the family, remained wan
derer, leaving the mother in full con-
troll. However, infants were helpless
and eventually love was born and man
admitted to the sacred precincts OF
civilization and organized society.

the purpose of censuring man, but to
show the result to humanity of re

other. think We are justified in. won

suit if Jehovah had been woman.

l do not believe that history would
have recorded some of the things

had been given the first place in re
Iligion, human life would have been far
more highly developed than it is today
l do not believe there would have been
any modern wars of conquest waged
against neighboriug tribes.
81 do not believe there is any excuse
for poverty in the midst of abundant
wealth. There is no natural reason fol
