Another British Cabinet Crisis.

The determined effort TO unhorse Agqulth
as head OF the British cabinet. persistent almost
since the beginning OF the war, promises TO
succeed this time. An especial fight has been
and In being made against the premier and
Minister Of Foreign Affairs Grey by the dlssatis-
fled elements Of all British political parties for
months, and the government has been carried
on in the face OF criticism almost incredibly
hostile from those who assume themselves to
be devoted patriots Against the premier at
this moment Is urged the condition OF recruit
Ing, particular demand being made that the
military authorities give some notion OF limit
as TO the number OF men to be requisitioned for
defense OF the empire. Opinion In Great Britain
10 sharply divided on this point, the Tory ele-
ment OF the country still contending for COM
pulsory service, against all British tradition.
Extreme radicals, who have been against
the government In its conduct Of the war from
the beginning, and those who are opposed to
the war. have seized the opportunity, and are
making the most of II. Asduith has shown lit
tie inclination at any time to temporize with
these or to deliberately explain the purposes OF
the government. except to appeal to the patriotic
impulse of the people to trust In and rely upon
the Judgment and ability Of the men who are
leading the country in the present crisis
Lloyd-George and Reginald McKenna have
given the premier able support in this work.
but have not been successful in quleting the
opposition occasioned by threatened conscrip-
ton.
Andrew Bonar Law is suggested as sue
cessor to Asqulth. with Lloyd-George as an
alternative. on policy Of continuing the vol
unteer system, at least until the situation OF
the empire becomes more desperate. Sir
Edwin Grey's numerous mistakes In dealing
with neutrals may serve to force him out OF
The cabinet whether Asquith goes or stays.

United States Record Of Peace.

The history Of the United States is a story
Of peace, broken at long intervals only by con-
flict in behalf OF right and justice. and with
orderly quiet quickly restored. From the time
white men first came TO America, their efforts
have been to establish concord Of action and
Tranquility OF life. To escape from the turmoil
and feuds OF Europe and build in a new world a
rational life whose ideal would be liberty and
equality for all mankind. and whose citizens
should be secure in rights and privileges denied
them In Europe was the ambition Of the coura-
geous thoughtful men who brought the older
civilization to this continent and made 1t over
into the new. Since The formation OF our gov
eminent its only wars have been defensive and
to maintain the highest concept OF human
freedom.
The genius Of our country and the spirit Of
our people are both opposed TO conquest as
hmieal to liberty. Our relations with the
world have been established and upheld by a
0ignfied nsistence upon right as supported by
reason. We have never tried TO impose our
views on a neighbor or a contemporary except
With the sanction Of justice In it's best applica-
ton For almost a century and half OF ma
tional existence the United states has given the
world the finest example IL has ever had OF a
sef-goyerned people. Underneath all the so
called national hysteria lies a broad and deep
base of devotion to concept OF freedom that
will make the extreme sacrifice for It's preser-
walton.
The diplomat or ruler who does not recog-
nize this makes a serious blunder. The people
Of the United states are united on a record Of
peace, but will maintain It's institutions at any
cost.

Locally.

Barring a few weak spots the republicans
Of Omaha and Douglas county managed to pull
out fairly good local ticket to be presented
for the approval OF the voters at the polls In
November. And II Is only fair TO let II be
known that the dead weights on the ticket got
there not by deliberate selection OF the rank
and file Of the party, but through the intricaces
Of the preposterously long ballot and the OBJ
structions Of the election machinery that kept
thousands Of voters from putting In more than
few cross marks on the upper part Of the ballot
and dIsfranchlsed them for the rest as COM
pleteiy as The blacks are dlsfranchlsed in the
southern states. The wonder only is that In
the face OF the difficulties besetting him, the
average voter succeeded In doing even as we'll
as he did.
