this a meeting Of liberal leaders had
been held at which all differences

LIBERAL PARTY'S
PROGRAM is
LARGE
ENGLISH GOVERNMENT EXPECTS
TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH IN
NEXT FEW YEARS

London, Jan. 6.-The liberal party,
which recently celebrated the eighth
anniversary of its return to power,
now has the honor of leading the af-
fairs of the British empire for long
er consecutive period than any party
for nearly hundred years. Premier
Asquith has now been in office for
over five and half years, and in
April next, if his government sur
wives, he will approach the record of
Lord Salisbury, whose second term Of
office lasted just seven years.
In his recent tour in Lancashire
Mr.. Asquith referred to his long term
and the stormy times that his gov
ernment has weathered. Certainly 1t
has been an almost continuous fight,
Finding early is his career that the
house of Lords would not pass any of
the legislation that his followers had
set their hearts on, Mr.. Asquith, with
courage which even his political op-
ponents credit as strong, undertook
to clip the wings of the upper cham
Der by restricting its power to veto.
That accomplished, he set about pass
ing the home rule and Welsh discs
tablishmest bills, which next session
are to come up for the third time, and
no matter what the attitude of the
house of lords is, will become law.
The government win then press to
get the bill to put an end to plural

time and then go to the country for

two weeks at Alexian Brothers hos

Mcknight went to Madison four
years ago from Syracuse. N. X. to
manage the newspaper and became
owner Of it two years later Former
ly he had worked on Denver newspa-
pers.

litical affairs Of Madison. he Tas in
close touch with city officials, all OF
whom are expected to attend his fun

Mcknight boasted that the typo
graphical appearance Of his newspa-
per and the quality OF the print pa
per used were the best among the
small: papers Of southern Illinois. In
typed box at the upper Ieft-hand cor
ner of the first page he ran every
week the following matter:
IF man can write a better book.
preach a better sermon or make a
better mouse trap than his neighbor.
though he biuld his house in the
woods, the world viii make a beaten
path to his door"
Each week he ran paragraph as
banner line across the top Of the
first page. In the last edition he ever
edited this line read as follows:
Judging by the shape of some wom-
en-, Adam must have had crooked
rib"
His platform, which appeared every
week at the top Of his editorial coli
umn. was as follows:
"If / were to try to read, much less

any other business. / do the very

right, what is said about me WON'T
amount to anything. If the end brings
me out wrong, 10 angels swearing I

The liberals, therefore, have as
much work ahead of them as they
have accomplished in their eight
years Of office.
When the party came into power
in 1906 Mr.. Balfour, then prime min
lister, found that bye-election after
bye-election was going against him
and he decided to resign. HAe chose

penses Of the candidate, which he
estimated at $4,000 during his four
years Of office. He would therefore
at the end of four years be $4,000
out of pocket. Mr.. de Bac added that
Ward could quite easily do without
his salary as the conservative asso-
citation, of which Lord Rothschild,
Lord Ebury and other wealthy men
were members, contributed $4,000 a
year to the expenses of the conserva-
tive candidate.
Some Of the larger constituencies
cost even more to fight. In Rom
ford the returning officers fees and
expenses alone would amount to
more than the total cost of an cleo
ton in West Herts.

Paying members of parliament ST.
900 a year, as has been done under
new law during the past year, has
been selected in many constituencies
as a point of attack against the lib
eral government, which is responsi-
BILE for the act.
The usual argument is that it in
duces men to try to get into parlia-
ment for the money that they can
make out Of 1t. In a few constitu-
encies, especially some of those held
by 1aborites, whree election can be
secured without any elaborate cam
paign and can be held without "nurs-
ing" it is possible that the member
has something left out Of his salary.
In the great majority OF cases, how
ever, dit takes all of the 50 1000 and
much more to finance an election.
A typical instance is West Herts,
at present held by Arnold Ward, the
son of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the
novelist. He Himself is opposed to
the payment of members, while He'd
