NEW PEER WILL. BE
CALLED STRAPHANGERS.

London, Jan. IL II King George
creates the 500-odd peers necessary
to transform the House of Lords
from conservative into Liberal
assembly, they will be known as
"straphangers.
The London Daily Express invent
ed the title and it made a hit in
stantly. It's so appropriate. And to
accept a "straphangership" will be
one Of the severest tests of party
loyalty that any politician was ever
called upon to undergo. For the fact
that he is a stranhanger will never
wear off and the handle it will fur.
nish the straphanger's political op-
ponents threatens to be sufficient tc
wreck many a promising public ca
reer.
The Express has suggested, as IT,
ties are sure to run short before
the batch of 500 new noblemen has
been created, that the straphangers
be known by numbers, and this has
not improved matters any. In short,
the liberals are likely to have con-
siderabl trouble in finding candi-
dates for the new titIes-assumin
that the King consents to confer
them.
