Credit Given Lloyd-GeOrge.
Most of the credit for the ultimate
success of the efforts toward peace
appears to rest with David Lloyd

ton when all others of the inter-
ested parties seemed to have given
it up.

man, will be appointed Tuesday to
investigate the workings of the con-
citation act of 1907, which the men
contend is the root of all their griev-
ances. This device overcomes the
mems objections to a royal commits

has been in practice a synonym for
delay.
Men Gain Advantage.
So far as the technical advantage
IN the compromise goes, it appears
TO be in the mems favor, particu-
arly as the managers consent to
meet their representatives. The Of

agreement says the managers con-

throughout the kingdom are return
ing to work and it is hoped within
few days to have the transit sys-
tenn under normal conditions.
Following the announcement Sat-
urday that the railway managers and
their employees had agreed to per-
init commission to settle their
difficulties came the news last night
that there was every hope of ending
the lockers strike at Liverpool.
Little Rioting Now.
No rioting as result of labor
troubles was reported except at Dub
lin. where the police and constables
came into collision with a mob. in
sympathy with the striking news
boys who were endeavoring to pre-
vent the distribution of newspapers.
To Begin Work.
With the exception of 1000 men
of the Northeastern Railway Com
pany, which was not a party to the
settlement agreement, and a thous-
and Manchester men, all the union
men adopted resolutions for a re-
sumption of work. The Northeast
ern company's employees demand an
eight-hour day and 2-shilling
weekly advance in wages, with a
minimum weekly wage of % shil-
lings, about $3.50.
Although service On the other
lines has not been completely re-
stored, the men in most cases pre-
sented themselves for duty today and
some progress was made in clearing
the lines of freight trains. 1t will
be several days before conditions are
normal.
The prospects for settlement of
the Liverpool dock strike are bright
er tonight, as the ship owners have
agreed to meet the representatives
of the men when they all return to
work.
While the strike commission has
ordered the men not to return to
work. pending the result of the me-
gotiations, Tom Mann leader of the
strikers, said he had reason to be-
lieve he would be able to arrange a
meeting the ship owner and men
tomorrow. He was hopeful there
would be settlement and declared
it probable the lockers would be at
work Wednesday.
Steamers Sail.
The steamers Celtic and Caronia
both sailed from Liverpool with full
passenger lists. The Philadelphia
called at Queenstown and took the
mail and many passengers. The Ca
roma landed her passengers and
mail at Plymouth.
A meeting of 10000 trade union
lists of London was held at Hyde
Park. Labor leaders congratulated
the railway men on their victory and
resolution, which was read from
numerous platforms, pointed out
that for the first time in history the
companies had recognized the prin-
ciple Of collective bargaining.
While not accepting the terms of
the agreement as final, the resolu-
ton concluded that the men had de-
cided to return to work and trust
to the companies to give effect to the
spirit and letter of the agreement.

THE STATE PRESS.

Lake Charles American Press: There
is going to be no room in this campaign for
intervenors who claim to be for reform, but
make war on the reform element, and who
claim to be against the administration, yet
have not word to say against it.
Mansfield Enterprise: Now, with this
undisputed truth before US, with the fact
that Mr.. Aswell was present when this out
rage was perpetrated, when the Governor
stated that Mr.. Roy had taught negro
public school, and that in conjunction with
negro faculty, most of them negro women
at that; when and where social equality
was natural result, we hold that it was
the duty of Mr.. Aswell, as q man, as a
candidate for Governor, as representative
man of the State, to have then and there
denounced the outrage. Unless he
repudiates his implied sanction of the mat
ter, by his silence when the outrage was
perpetrated, and explains just how he per-
mitted him to occupy an important position
when he, Aswell, was State Superintend-
ent, we do not think he ought 10 ask the
white people Of the Stste for their suffrage.

The First Money,

Money Is mentioned as medium of
exchange in Genesis, chapter %, and
Is supposed to refer to time as far
back as 1900 B. c. The coinage of
money is ascribed to the Lydians, a
people Of Asia Minor. 1t is, of course.
quite impossible to fix any definite date
for the first coinage. Long before any
one thought to coin money it was made
out of any durable substance that came
to hand. such as leather, iron, tin,
bronze and even the hard bark of the
trees and stones of the fields. The
Hollander. so late as the middle of the
sixteenth century. made money OF
pasteboard. In fact. pretty nearly ev.
erything in the shade Of lasting mate
rial has ut one time or another been
used as the medium Of trade known as
money.

Shreveport Journal: The Governor is
making claims to being democratic Dem
ocrat, but the voters of Louisiana who re-
member that he sent j. r. Thornton to the
United States Senate as his personal choice
and his proxy will hardly accept his dec
laration in this particular. IfGov. Sanders
had been democratic Democrat he would
have named one of that sort for the Nc
Emery succession in the Senate. If Gov.
Sanders had entertained any special rev.
erence for the Democratic Platform and
principles he would never have sent his
message opposing the ratification of the
Income Tax. When it comes to the pot
calling the kettle black, our Jared is what
Uncle Joe Cannon would call a helluva
success.
