BY URLTER WILLIAMS,

than aliens criminals or lunatics, is
denied an Old Age pension. All the
money for the pensions is provided
out of the national treasury-no pen.
s1oner and no locality have to con.
tribute anything. Nearly one million
persons now receive old age pensions
-603,3 $50 women and 1862, 628 men. The
number Of persons who, as paupers,
received outdoor relief from local poor
funds, has largely decreased, falling
off from 16S,096 to 1858 in six years.
OF every 1000 persons in Great Brit
ain seventy years old and upwards
$40 are old age pensioners, nearly
two-thirds The annual cost to the ma
tional treasury is about $60,000,000.
Il think the greatest act of Parlia-
iment Of the last fifty years, aside from
the Parliament Act' (limiting the
power Of the House of Lords), said
John Burns, cabinet minister and labor
leader, sis the act which gave Ole Age
Pensions. 1t is the boon of the benev-
olent state at the cost of the bounte-
GUS rich for the benefit of the aged
poor. 1t works easily, does not de-
moralize, solves many Poor Law
problems, keeps the old among the
young-and that is good for both-and
prevents the growth of institutional
life, which / do not like. I am for the
home as against the institution"
That's the opinion Of the friends of
the measure.
"a system of decentralization will be
established among the working
classes" said Lord Wemyss. Thrift
will be done away with, families will
cease to regard is at an obligation to
maintain those of their number whose
working days are passed, and self-re-
lance will be diminished" That's
the extreme view of the opposition.
Insured Against Unemployment.
The National Insurance Act, in ad-
dition to insurance against the loss Of
health and for the prevention and
care Of sickness, provides insurance
against unemployment. In state
health insurance Great Britain fol
lowed the lead of Germany, but in I'M
employment insurance Great Britain
leads the way. 1t is far-reaching ex-
pertinent in social legislation. THE
essence Of the problem of unemploy-
ment is that all work, or nearly all
work, is more or less irregular, and
will in large part always remain So"

chief liberal journal; of H. A. Gwynne,
editor of the London Morning Post,
the journal which all society reads; ;
of journalists, politicians, tradesmen,
men in the street. The reply, in one
form or another, was everywhere
practically the same: 1.-THE growing
insistence upon social reform legisla-
ton"
Ten years ago the Briton talked
about world politics almost exclusive
ly. Today, without losing his inter-
est in world-politics, he talks about
home affairs, land and labor and life.
Ten years ago he made faces at Ger
many and planned a bigger navy. To-
day he studies Germany's social pro-
gram for acceptance or avoidance.
and is content with a navy maintained
at ordinary strength.
How Eritone Talk Back.
Two avenues OF approach to the real,
thought of the British people exist
which are not found in other countries,
at least not to such marked extent
The Briton has not lost the art Of
talking back. Building his home be-
hind stone walls, stupidity reserved
with strangers, he talks freely in pub
lie meetings and he writes letters to-
the newspapers. Besides other and
usual ways Of access to public opin-
ion, these are Enthusiastically Brit
ish. He wrote letter to the Times in;
other days. Now he writes also to the
Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, the

said Mr.. L. G. Chiozza Money, M. p
Man can never hope to reduce his
operations to a machine-like regulari-
ty. He can, however, by concerted
effort and common rule decide that IT.
regularity Of work need not mean IT.
regularity of maintenance. Society
can assure, should assure, to every
honest man the regular maintenance
which it now admits is due the dis
honest man."
The Unemployment Act pools risks
by insurance. 1t builds up fund by
contributions from the employer, the
employe and society as a whole, in
order that when irregularity of work
touches particular man and deprives
him OF wage, there may be pay to take
the place of wage. The act provides
for compulsory insurance against un-
employment for about 100000 work
men, skilled or unskilled, organized or
lunorganized, In building, construction
of works, snip-building, engineering,
construction of vehicles, iron,founding
and saw-milling. The workman con-
tributes five cents a week for each
period of employment of week or
less. the employer also five cents a.
week, and the state one-third the total
contributions of employers and EN-,
ployes. For workmen less than eigh-
teen years old the contributions are
