The Minixter's Confession.

From the Kansas City Star.
The frank confession Of error made by
the two British ministers in connection
with their stock speculation will help to
mollify a public opinion in England that
had been justly aroused by the transac-
tions Of Chancellor Floyd-George and the
attorney general. Sir Rufus Isaacs. And
after all, 1t must be recalled that against
their indiscretions is to be weighed a
public service Of the first order. II will
be interesting now to watch the at
