LONDON, September 2.-No young
man in England is being brought up in a
more democratic manner or more forcibly
taught to put aside his personal desires
to attend to his duties than IL the young
Prince Of Wales. and when he shortly
starts out on cruise on board the
Hindustan he will be in every way
treated like any ordinary midshipman.
He has no cabin Of his own and when
he got on board he had to dump his
kit in the gunroo1n. with those Of the
other middies. This kit includes his pro-
fessional books his private reading. his
personal stationery and tho hundred and
one articles which healthy boy Of his
discipline. will take his turn in the dog
watch, steer his boat, land with dis
patches, attend the navigating lieuten-
ant and go through the whole round Of

even longer than those Of the other mid

quarters of his superior. who will bring
out the strong box In which his affairs

governor. and will be dropped into the

OF all ranks midshipmen are the only
ones whose pay has never been raised;

Government Supporters Happy.
After the most eventful session of more
than half a century parliament Is resting
and both sides arc preparing for the con-
tinuation Of the great fight which began
when the house Of lords rejected Lloyd
Georges first budget. The supporters Of
the government are in the happiest mood.
for the path Of progress is clear and
the opposition is g. body divided against
itself, dissatisfied with its present leaders
in both houses and unable to agree upon
their future program. Never was there
greater confusion in a defeated army.
In the government camp everybody IS
rejoicing at the splendid achievements OF
liberalism. and one opinion prevails. that
the party is now entering greater and
home rule for Ireland will be passed by
the present parliament, to be followed
rapidly by homo rule for Scotland and

by Winston Churchill Is ready to Illustrate
their efforts. The struggle will begin
within a few weeks. but the result can
not be doubtful. The home rule idea will
conquer and then the government will
take up the fight to abolish plural voting.
When this has been done the whole
program for the Improvement
of the conditions of the working classes
will be developed In the fullness of its
possibilities. and the question OF land:
