Lloyd Geor&e-Agitator.
(NeW York Press.)

Acceptance by the Nationalist con- ference of Lloyd Georges modified home rule scheme, which excludes six Ulster counties from it's provisions, calls attention anew to the remark able success as a cOnciliator of this strong man of the Asquith cabinet. The vote of nearly two to one shows the heartiness with which Lloyd Georges proposal was indOrsed by those who expected to fight shy of it.. Following a favora ble vote of the Unionists, the action of the Ulsterites pressages final adoption of the pro- pOsal.
 Lloyd George is proving his right to a title applied to one of the nOte- worthy figures of American history the Great Pacificator But of what q different temper is this earnest, in cisive sympathetic, wise Welshman! Who would have believed, when he sponsored the budget reforms which brought him the enmity of the estab- lished classes of the empire, that he would so soon be their champion against malcOntents?
 Henry Clay was a born mediator hut Lloyd George is a born agitatOr one who would crash old idols from their pedestals; yet one who, in the Lresent crisis, is turned conservative because he realizes that improvem ent can come only through the main- tenance of recognized authority in times like these.
 This war did not at first have the whole-souled approval of Lloyd George. Thus we find him in those early formative days of the conflict openly advising against the partict patton Of Great Britain. But when his country was irrevocably com mitted he plunged into it's service with all the ardor of his sincere tenn frank and revelatory public speeches later he said it was the invasion of Belgium which swaYed him.
 The part he has played in adjust ing Ia Dor disputes and the liquor question, to mention only the liquor spectacular activities, must be reck- cned when the history of this war is written. Now comes the prospect of success in his Irish mission. Premier Asquith's recent announcement thet nothing has been done toward filling Lord Kitchener's post as minister of war makes it seem probable that this place is being reserved, as has been rum ored, to engage the attention of the governments general utility man so soon as his present job is done And Great Britain is beginning to look upon that Wrk as successfully done which is placed in the hands of Lloyd George.

Eliminate the Drummer. (Meriden RecOrd.)

The head of big eastern commer- cial house, who backs his theory by practice, says that the day of the travelling salesman is past. And he makes an impressive argument for the use of advertising, by wholesalers and retailers alike.
 Advertising is more satisfactory than the old method of personal soli- citation, he says, because it costs less and sells more goods. Much adver- Using goes to waste, no doubt; but the travelling salesman system is much more WastCful of money and time.
 Moreover, the salesman's salary and expenses "add to the cost of the goods without adding to it's value or selling qualities" Advertising, while 1t is making immediate sales, does far more to establish goods as standard articles and create permanent value.
 Goods sold by advertising are sold on their merits, whereas goods sold by a drummer may be sold only through personal appeal, which is local and transient.
 The salesman sometimes uses ques- tiOnable methods to sell. The adver- t1ser doesn't dare to. Advertising is virtually a guarantee in bold, un- changing type"
 The drummer is a middleman, and the evolution of business is eliminat- ing middlemen.
 'The economy and efficiency of the printed word," he says, 'need no eulogy from me. Retailers recognize their need of the daily newspapers by their increasing use of them.
 Things were different once upon a time before the railroads turned farms into cities. Then the original retailers were traders and carried their goods cross country seeking out buyers one at a time. Now the re- taller draws the customers to his store in crowds, and advertising is the magnet. Representative retailers are very particular about the goods they advertise, very careful as to the ex- actness of their printed word. So are representative wholesalers. Buyers know this. That is why they are paying such careful attention to the advertisements they see in the pa pers"

cessor has been mentioned who ap- breaches him in equipment or char acter and he should be renominated. The republican voters should stir themse and see that he is renom- mated. Thus far the friends of Frank Healy have been almost alone in their activity towads securing dele gates to the next state convention, and it looked at one time as though they would tie up the nomination before majority of the delegates were elected.
 The warnings which were issued as to the pro obable defeat of MT. Healy seem to have had their effect and his friends do not talk now as though his success is assured. but 1t Is time that a statewide. campaign was or ganized in Holcombs interest, for he absolutely will not start the move ment himself. That's characteristic of the man and one of the reasons why the state likes him.

. Business and Mexico.
Springfield Republican.

War on a considerable scale for the occupation and pacif1cation of Mexico, in whole or in part, might be measured somewhat by the past weeks developments. The specula- tive and investment markets have not though the stock market prices de- clined and buying on all sides was restricted. Railroad shares and United States steel held up well. The bond market was inactive for the very good reason that war would probably cause this government to offer new bond issues to compete with securities already in the market. Whatever financial measures of this sort the government might take would un- doubtedly be successful. Under ex- tsting law. the government can offer to the investing public per cent. Panama canal bonds to the amount of $240, 0,O00,000 and also 3 per cent. one year certificates of indebtedness to the amount of $2G0, 100000.
 The marketing of new government loans may not be necessary, but if bonds should be issued it is not at all probable that the market for corpor ate or European government issues would be seriously weakened. This country is now exceedingly rich in money seeking investment. The in- terest and dividends on several bill lions of dollars worth Of American securities returned from Europe now go into pockets here at home and make a huge fund for reinvestment purposes; and there are. too. the mil lions formerly spent abroad by Amer ican tourists, not to mention the profits from American industry since the business boom began It is pos sible that if the United States gov ernment entered the loan market, foreign governments like France and Russia would encounter more diff culty in borrowing here, but the pay ment of higher interest rates would doubtless overcome 1t. The stream of gold pouring into the United States since the European war began will amount to over $400,0O0,0O0 by the end of this week, when the fiscal year will close the net gain in gold being some $35O,OOO,OOO. Since the second week in May over $75,000,0O0 gold has come from Ottawa and the influx has not ended. No other nation today possesses such boundless re- sources as the United States for fin ancing military operations.
 A shortage in labor will be much felt if many more men than the pres ent national guard contains, when re- cruited up to war strength: are taken into the army. The effect upon wages may be inferred. Some industries would be stimulated by government contracts for war supplies. if Mex

It is bankrupt nation, and this is what's ailing Car ranza. His government is falling through inherent causes, and his fun- ing about national honor and dig nity' and territorial rights is most ly one way of kicking against being put through involuntary bankruptcy. If he kept back from Mexican soil every American soldier. friend or foe, he would still be facing national bank ruptcy. He knows this and by war talk is trying to save his face, WhiSll CTS and all War upon Mexico is not our seeking. President Wilson, wise ly and with the courage and humane ness of a Christian ruler, has waited until insult was added to conspiracy against him by a gOVV~nment which he was honestly trying to help. But let it be the most merciful war the world ever knew. Let bloody battles that mean promotion to professional warriors and profits to munitiOn mak- CTS be not the first aim.

Times Deadly Work.
Washington Post. )

When the late George D. Prentice alluded in rhythmic metaphor to the fierce spirit of the glass and scythe" he wrote better than he knew. Others have referred to the "corroding tooth" which is much to the same purpose.
 And it is all of that. We have wit messed with small qualms the passing of beds in which George Washington slept. The springs from which he drank remain, although cOnservtion- ists claim they are fast drying up now that the forests are being denuded- The taverns frequented by Poe have been pulled down one by one. But the final blow is bestowed by the abandon ment of the horse cars in little old New York These are about to make way for bobbed contraptions operated by electric batteries, bad cess to 'em.
 Considered psychOlog gically, or in any other fashion, 1t is felt that, for once, New York has lost the right sense of the prOprieties. For years the travelling Thick" from the prov inces has approached that center 1f culture with high beating heart. But New York, up to now, has been very wise. CrOSSlng on the Terry rom Jersey the first thing to greet the eye was the horse car. What native from the back districts had any fear after that? Was not the sight calculated to restore confidence in hinself7 However, the opry house back home might fail to rival the white lights of Broadway, one thought of the horse cars put the rural visitor on his met tie again He took a fresh plunge with fresh courage. When the city got through with him he might not be so handsome as on arrival, but he knew more. And he could grip the remem brance of the sOmnolent equine in the traces, compare the equipment to the rear with the new Varnish of Podunk's electrically propelled rolling stock, and find surcease from sorrow.
 There is a character of wisdom that Capttalizes the ancient and generally discarded No new bohemian resort appeals as does the old. The cobWehs on ancient bottles add worth to the enclosed. New York, the supposedly wise, has fumbled for once, AS "come on" proposition, the horse car holdover was her one best lead.

Organize for HOlcOTnb.
( Waterbury Republican, )

The Hartford Times democratic, contains a very fair discussion of the opposition to Gov. Holcom b's renom- inatiOn on the ground of age. It considers this a weak excuse advanced by political managers who have not found him sufficiently DIiabIe, and points out that when three score and twelve years are not accompanied by infirmity, the septuagenarian is well fitted to retain his place in the ac- tivities of life whether they are found in business affairs or in public office.
 The real reason, it says. why Gov. Holconb's renomination is not accep- table in some quarters is that he did not always respond to claims of par tisanship. This was notably so when Tn response to a request for the ap- pointment of a republican to the posi- ton of insurance commissioner, he said biuntly that he intended to re- appoint Burton H. Mansfield.
 The, one-term rule in republican state politics has more than once de- prived us of the usefulness of a good governor and has several times caused the prom OtiOn of nOnentitN to the office of chief magistrate. The only argument for it is that it passes the honor around and that is a mighty weak excuse. Gov. Holcomb is f1t he is willing to serve again, no suc-

Lemberg of 1916 Dij1erent
 Cltv Than If Was 1n 1Q14

Called Lwow in the Polish tongue and Leopolis in Latin, Lemberg was founded by Ruthenian prince in 1259 Nearly a hundred years later it was added to the domain of Casimir the Great who bestowed upon the city the charter and privileges widely known during the middle ages as tbe Magdeburg Right.
 "FoIowing the fall of ConstantinopIe Lemberg enjoyed a revival of trade with the east, but it was caught in the maelstrOm of rebellion and pillage which swept over the Ukraine and a part of Poland during the last half of the seventeenth century, when the Cos sack hetnan, Chmielnicka, was direct / ing the infamies of the serfs' fury
 "Lemberg was one of the Polish cities to fall before the arms >pt Charles XII of Sweden when the ill., advised Augustus II was drawn into the Great Northern War, which devas- tated central Europe for the first twen- ty years of the eighteenth century. Tn 1772, upon the first partition of Po- land, Lemberg became an Austrian possession, and twelve years after this event Joseph II established the Uni
 
 of the outbreak of the present war, had more than 2,000 students.
 "One of the most attractive parks of Lemberg, and a favorite prome- made, bears the name of the Polish patriot Jan Kilinski, a humble little shoemaker who fought bravely in 1796, was captured and taken to St. Petersburg. After his release he re- , turned to his shoemaker's bench and in his leisure hours wrote his recolIec- tions, a valuable record of this period of his country's history.
 Since the esta blishment of the Galician Diet in 1861 Lemberg has enjoyed increasing prosperity. It's manufa ctures includes machinery and iron ware, matches, candles, liquorS chocolate, leather bricks and tiles, while it's commerce is largely in linens flax, hemp, wool and oil.
 'In 1907 two interesting finds were made in the vicinity of this city by la borers boring for oil. The bodies of an elephant and a rhinoceros were un- earthed in a remarkable state of presA, ervation, even the hides being intact, due, probably, to the preservative qualities of the oily soil in which they were buried"

Washington, D. C., June 27.-Un- less the Russians meet suddenly with a signal reverse in their drive along the Austrian east front, Lcmberg seems destined to pass under the do- miniOn of the ear for a second time since the beginning of the great war. This, the fourth city of Austria, is de- scribed in the following war geogra- phy bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society, issued from it's Wash ingtOn headquarters:
 "When the Notifications of the inner city of Lemberg were dismantled in 1911 and the space which they occu- pied was converted into promenades for the prosperous citizens of this modern Galician capital of 2O0,00 in- habitants it was doubtless assumed by many that having suffered the sling and arrows of outrageous fortune for the first five centuries of it's municipal existence, fate would allot it a sur cease from siege and capture.
 Lying sixty miles almost due east of Przemysl, and more than 450 miles northeast of Vienna, Lemberg is situ- |. an aff1uent of the Bug It nestles in small valley which opens to the north and is surrounded by hills, the most picturesque being the we1l-wooded Franz-JOsef Berg, to the northeast. To the east, a distance of eightyseven miles, is Tarnopol, near the Russian border, one of the first points of at tack when the Muscovites recently pushed beyond the Galician frontier.
 "A description of the modern city of Iemberg as it existed in August 1914, requires many notifications to- day, for the scars of war are to be found in it's many handsome homes; it's broad, well-paved streets; it's Ro- man Catholic cathedral, a handsome gothic structure completed in 14S0; it's Greek cathedral, completed in 1779; it's Armenian cathedra in the Byzantine style, dating back to 1437 and it's magnificent monuments to such Polish patriots as King John III So- bieski, who after having saved Lem berg from the same enemy a few years previously, in 1883 saved all Eu- rope from Mohammedan invasion by routing an army of 30O,000 Turks en- camped about Vienna, his own forces numbering only 70,0O0.
