English Politics Simple.

The rules Of the game Of English poll
tics are few and very simple. 1t Is much
less complicated than a game Of chess.
AS in chess no game can be won without
the king is checkmated, so In English
politics in the last resort the people can
not use the king against the peers until
they rendered it impossible to do anything
else but obey their will. The way in
which the king is converted into an auto
matte weapon. doing the peoples will, is
simplicity itself.
The lords and commons disagree. A
constitutional deadlock arises. The cab
met advises the king to dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the people to decide
the issue. This was done when the lords
rejected the budget. The people returned
a majority against the peers. This was
the first move toward checkmate.
The commons propose to curtail the veto
of the lords on legislation. The peers re-
fuse their assent. The cabinet might then
have called upon the king to create sufti-
cient new peers to pass the veto bill. But
If they had done so the king was al
lowed by the constitution to dismiss his
ministers and summon Mr.. Balfour to
form a new cabinet and appeal to the
country on the direct ISSUE

Second Appeal to People.

Mr.. Asquith preferred that he should
remain in Office while the second appeal
was made to the country. He there
fore did not ask for new peers when his
request might have been refused. He
asked for a second appeal to the con-
stituencies because. according to the rules
of the game, he would be entitled to in
sist If the election went decisively in
his favor upon the creae,on of as many
peers as were necessary to carry the
veto bill. The king dissolved parliament,
elected with a solid majority Of more
than one hundred against the peers. This
was the second move toward checkmate.
The veto bill was sent up to the lords
and by the lords transformed into a
measure confirming their own powers and
making themselves the dominant power
in the state. Now the moment approaches
for the climax of the crisis. The king
is summoned to make, say, five hundred
new peers. He feels about him like a
king in chess. trying whether he can
lind q way OF escape. 1t Is the rule OF
the game that the king can only govern
through ministers. 1t is another rule
that no one can be minister OF the
king who cannot obtain from tho COM
mons the supplies necessary for carrying
On the government of the king. The
only man to whom he could turn as an
alternative minister to Mr.. Asquith Is
Mr.. Balfour. But Mr.. Balfour could not
secure from the present house of COM
mons one red cent for the service Of the
state II he were minister OF the crown.
That way Of escape is barred.
Only One Forlorn Hope.
There remains only one forlorn. the for
lornest Of forlorn hopes. II Mr.. Bal
four would venture to challenge a third
appeal to the people the king might again
dissolve parliament and await the recall
1t would be a dangerous move for the
crown, but the king would be entitled to
take 1t IL MIR. Balfour would take office
in o. der to appeal to the country The
king in all PROBABILITY would mot give
Mir. Balfour the chance. Kings do not
gamble with their crowns to assist the
interest of party leader. Still he might
do 1t. 1t is within the rules Of the
game. therefore 1t is a possibility to be
taken into account.
But it is clear that MIR. Balfour will
not face the responsibility of advising
a third appeal to the people. His party
managers and his party papers and his
supporters in the house Of commons all
assure him that a third appeal to the
country would result in a crushing defeat
which would practically wipe the con-
sentative party out of existence. There
fore. the last loophole Of escape dis
appears
