"cENrER, OF BRITISH EMPIRE
Unpretentlous Dwelling In London
Houses the Real Rulers of Great
Commonwealth Of Nations.

For 200 years severely plain and
unpretentious three-story brick dwell
ing has become widely known through
out the world as Britain's central Of
fee Of the diplomatic service. mo.
10 Downing street" refers to one OF
London's historic houses On the So
called "street of power" which nestles
close to the confines OF whitehall.
There have dwelt therein celebrities,
such as Walpole, Pitt, Chatham, Can
ming, Disraeli and Gladstone. In all,
no fewer than fifty ministers nave
lived there.
Sir George Downing, after Whom
the thoroughfare is named, was the
son of a London barrister, nephew
of Governor Winthrop Of Massachu-
sets colony, and a graduate OF Har-
ward, who obtained the house as a
gift from Charles II as reward Tor
unusual service performed by him
while he was representing his country
In Holland. He had emigrated to
America at the age of fourteen ana
when he left Harvard, in 1915, youth
of twenty-one, he became an 1tlnerant
preacher in the West Indies. Shortly
afterward he returned to England and
became chaplain in Colonel Okey's
regiment. AS faithful Puritan, who
later in life assured Charles II that he
saw the error of his ways due to the
principles imbibed during his stay in
New England, he shortly afterward en-
rolled under Cromwell as scout mas
ter.
After Downings death, when the
lease on the building lapsed to the
crown, the property was given to the
Hanoverian minister, Count Bothma,
by George II, and, when the count died,
was rendered to Walpole, who accept
ed it on condition that the house should
forever remain the residence Of Brit
aims ministers.

Men or Principles?

"Therell be plenty of voiced issues,
but the real one is men," Thus quoth
Judge E. M. Moore, democratic ma
tional committeeman for Ohio, and
the pre-convention manager of Cover
nor Cox's campaign
We had thought that ours was a
government of laws, not of men; and
that political campaigns were waged,
or should be waged, on principles and
not on personalities. True, we should
have nothing to fear if the latter were
the case. In personal character the
republican candidates are certainly no
less without fear and without re-
preach" than their democratic oppon-
ents, nor are they in the least degree
their interiors in intellectual capacity
or in familiarity with the duties of the
government. Yet are we so welded to
democracy and so prejudiced against
autocracy that we cling, despite Gov
ernor Cox's friend, to principles rath-
er than personalities as the legitimate
issues of the campaign.
We must, however, recognize wide
spread and systematic effort to make
this campaign of men rather than Of
principles. Notably was this set forth
in the results of that conjuncture of
'two great men" which so felled the
reverently appreciat1ve soul Of the
assistant secretary of the navy with
wonder, love and praise. President
Wilson declared concerning it that it
had demonstrated that he and Cover
nor Cox "were absolutely as one" with
regard to the league of nations. But
he gave not the slightest inkling as
to the policy or principles concerning
the league about which they were so
perfectly agreed. Governor Cox, too,
reported that they were "agreed as to
the meaning and sufficiency Of the
democratic PLATFORM" and he Loyalty
added that "What he promised shall,
if elected, endeavor with all my
strength to give" But not single
peep did he emit as to what they were
agreed the platform meant.
In other words, all those supreme
matters of national Importance were
to be withheld from the vulgar crowd.
These 1.-TWO great men" knew what
they were, and were agreed concerning
them, and that fact must suffice for
the mere people. That is the political
philosophy which is being promulgated
by the former and present leaders of
the democratic party. 1t is not a
political philosophy acceptable to the
American people, who elect men not
to be their masters but their servants

New Light on Soviet Russia.

Americans seeking a true impress
sion of soviet Russia and the men who
govern it have been confused by
mass of conflicting evidence. Friends
of bolshevism have painted the soviet
rulers as angels. Its foes have con-
demned them as devils. In all the de-
bate over Russia there has been little
opportunity to study the people of the
communes as ordinary human beings.
"A delegation of British labor radi-
Gals have just returned from Moscow
after exploring soviet Russia. They
journeyed far into the red territory,
believing themselves communists.
They have returned as utterly opposed
to the soviet system as they are to
any military dictatorship.
They declare that 80 per cent of the
Russians are opposed to the soviet
government. They find the atmcs-
phore just the opposite to that of
freedom. They brand the soviet lead

Elections are held by the raising of

A Strong Cabinet Needed.

Senator Harding's announcement
some time ago that if he and Gov
ernor Coolidge are elected he will
invite the vice president to a seat in
the cabinet meetings met with instant
popular approval. No less pleasing
is his recent assurance to Governor
Hart of Washington that one of his
particular ambitions is to see that
the country gets one Of the strongest
cabinets that can be brought to-
gether."
The country is thoroughly tired of
the kind of cabinets it has been forced
to put up with for the past seven
years; cabinets composed largely of
men of mediocre ability whose chief
recommendation has been that their
minds readily would ego along" with
that of the president. 1t welcomes the
idea of return to cabinet traditions I'M
der such men as Roosevelt, when cabi-
net members were something more
than rubber stamps to register the
presidents will.
The country wants change, not
only of cabinets, but of the whole con-
ception Of the chief executives posi-
ton in our system of government
which has been responsible for the Sc
lection Of weak cabinets. It is the be-
lief that it can expect more in this
direction from Senator Harding than
from Governor Cox that has made the
republican nominee such a favorite in
election prognostications.-St. Paul
