New-York tribune., 1921-02-20

w THENEVER one quotes Ho-
" ratio Bottomley or his mag
azine with its 100000 cir
culation everybody smiles or laughs.
Sometimes Wears quote Bottom ey
to the ediication of their congrega-
tions, and sometimes stage comedians
raise roar with the mere mention
of Bottomley and John Bull.
Bottomley is a man of parts. Just
how many stones he weighs Who's
Who does not record, though it gives
some interesting particulars about
his early financial adventures, his
career as a journalist, his racing
stable containing many we'll known
racehorses," and his activities as a
Member of Parliament. Suffice it is
to say that unless Big Bill" Ed
wards has trained down as Income
Tax Collector, Bottomley would en-
ter the ring against him with con-
siderable advantage in poundage.
Perhaps it is only natural that q
supernan should be superpatriot.
There is nothing dyspeptic about
Bottonley's patriotism. He eats red
meat and drinks old ale and he
"rallies the boys around the fag''
better than any sergeant major.
Britain for the British" is his slo-
gan. He oozes patriotism and damns
"pussyfootisrn."
There is no American just like
Bottomley. He is one of the sights Of
London along with the Tower, the
Abbey and Drury Lane. Other Eng
Iishmen own periodicals and occupy
seats in Parliament, but Bottouley
runs the country in his weekly, ir
the House of Commons, on the pub

A regular glutton for work, he has

TF SMOKING was forbidden with

drew Bonar Law probably would re-
sign as leader of Parliament. He
and his briar pipe are inseparable,
and there are many cozy smoking
rooms close by the chamber to which
ne can escape when the debate is
dull. Isn't it Uncle Joe Cannon,
another shepherd over parliamen-
tarians, who has a strong partiality
for fat, black cigars?
Bonar Law is Scotsman and eco

Sir Edward Carson


DERCHED on top of a brass
fender with his back to a
hearth fire, the Rt. Hon. Sir
Edward Carson does not look his
height or his sixty-seven years. He
has grown children and an infant son,
having been married a second time,
in 1914. In his home or at club
Sir Edward is the mildest of men,
gentle, kindly, persuasive, full OF
wit. In Parliament or in court he
is bitter, cynical, intolerant, domi-
ncering, brilliant. Carson has the
most lucrative law practice in Eng
land and. his opponents say, "the
Eritish government in his political
pocket"
In these days the Ulster leader
is not at his best in the House
If Commons; the opposition is too
weak to bring out his finest debat-
ing qualities. Only Joe Devlin, the
loly-poly Nationalist from Belfast,
who has the face of a jolly school,
boy and the quick wit Of an edu-
Gated Irishman, is able to draw
Carson's fire. DevIin taunts Car
son. Carson preterds to brush him
away as if ne was a persistent fly.
In the House they are violent op-
ponents. They are at the two
political poles. Politics aside, they
like and admire each other.
Carson is in politics for the same
reason that a fish lives in the water.
He is an Irishman, born in Dublin,
and the leader of the North. 1t is
interesting to speculate on the
position of Sim Fein if Carson was

John Robert C'lynes

4 GA1NsT the forty-nine lines
~ in Who's Who covering the
career Of the Right Hon.
Winston Churchill there are eight
relating to the Right Hon. John
Robert Clynes, P. c., j. P, M. P.
Jack Clynes is a power in English
life. IF Labor comes into control of
the British government Clynes will
undoubtedly hold a Cabinet place
more important than that of Food
Minister, which he filled during the
last year Of the war under Mr.. LLOYD
George.
Clynes and Churchill are so dia-
rnetrically opposite in everything
that the comparison seems worth
while. Churchill started, life with
everything and has made good /;
Clynes had nothing and is to-day
one Of the respected leaders of Eng
land. Churchill had every oppor-
tunity for education: Clynes left
school before he was twelve. Church
i'll is big physically; Clynes looks
undernourished, pinched. Churchill
is a hashy dresser; Clynes wears
something resembling q government
standard suit. Churchill rushes
around like bull; Clynes is as tirnid
as q fawn. Churchill smokes fat,
black cigars and drinks hqueu,
brandy out Of glass larger than 6
champagne goblet; Clynes smokes e
curved pipe and drinks half pint Of
beer.
OF all the able leaders In England
and they are capable lot
Clynes is perhaps the strongest. He

its leader instead Of it's bitterest
opponent. No man is more re.
sponsible for the situation in Ire
land to-day than Sir Edward Car
son, no man could change condi-
tions quicker. AS head of the
British government, Lloyd George
is responsible for Irish policy, but
the real dictator is Carson.
The Ulster leader who stands at
the head of the English bar, is ab-
solutely sincere. Though he bluffs
and bullies, he feels he is fighting
for the good Of Ulster. He admits
his viewpoint may be narrow. He
pretends he is immune to criticism,
however sharp. He declares he has
no fear of his enemies-and it
would be difficult to find q Briton
with more enemies than Carson. A
detective is never far away, and
when he goes to Ireland he has q
bodyguard almost as large as the
Kaiser had in the last year Of the
war.
No ordinary man could stand up
against the odds Carson has faced
in his long, turbulent career. He is
not exceptionally strong physically,
but he rises above perfect flood Of
professional and political work Per-
haps one secret of his success is his
marvellous ability in selecting able
lieutenants. No one is too important
socially to work for Ned" Carson.
In Ulster the school children say
Sir Carson made the earth, and their
parents are infinitely more impressed
by a statement from Carson than one
from the British government. king
Carson" he is. Respect and affec-
ton, amounting almost TO worship,
are a measure of the intense feeling

PED tape and precedent
AS mean little to Winston
Churchill

had an English father and an Amer
lean mother.
Churchill loves politics. He likes
d fight. He Graves excitement. He
tires quickly, All parties have
angled for him at various stages,
Once Labor thought he was one of
them; now they wish he was in
India, The Conservatives claim him
at the moment, and not without JUS
6ifcation, though he is really Lib
eral. Not so long ago Churchill had
d scheme for founding a Center
party, but it was stiIlborn.
Soldier, sailor, politician, states
man, Churchill is an enthusiast, al
most an extremist. Has any one
heard Churchill's voice raised in
support of the League Of Nations?
Not a faint whisper has come from
him. He is practical man, not an
idealist. He is blunt diplomat. No
one has suggested him for the Brit
ish Embassy in Washington or rs
British representative in Palestine.
Churchill is almost unique. British
domestic and foreign policy as pur-
sued to-day is one of compromise,
concession. Churchill's policy is the
antithesis. He fights and wins OK is
knocked out. His record is pretty
good on the winning side. There is
a possibility that Churchill may be
Prime Minister, but then Lenine
may also be ruler of Europe some
day. If Churchill should move to
20 Downing Street there is every
prospect of merry session in the
House of Commons.

RONAR LAW, leader of
O Parliament, is Arrays on

of his followers in the age-long dis
pute with the south Of Ireland.
Carson has no particular love for
America. 1t would not be fair to say
that he was anti-American. To Car
son large part of the United States
is populated by Sim Feiners.
No one ever catches Carson off
his guard. His defense is a strong
offensive. He frightens his political
colleagues by his boldness. 1t is inn
possible to believe that Lloyd George
and Carson are loyal friends, but
they have worked together for more
than four years. Carson always
states the maximum of his demands
and Lloyd George gets the political
credit of bringing him around to a
compromise.
Ireland is a particularly danger
GUS subject about which to generalize
or forecast, but it is not so risky to
venture the guess that Carson is
losing some of his power. He is still
King Carson" but these are not
especially happy times for monarchs
and dietators. Carson still has a
strong grip on Ireland, but it re-
quires all his strength to hold fast.
He will have Parliament in Ulster,
which he doesn't want any more than
the Sim Feiners desire the Home
Rule act. Carson may have another
card, but it looks as if he had played
his hand to the limit.

Bottomley is at home everywhere,
whether at breakfast with Lloyd
George or while walking the quarter
deck with Beatty, or when warning
his countrymen to beware of the
"shrewd Yankees" He has a thor
oughly good time, this watchdog of
the British Empire. Now and then
he growls ferociously, but ne never
snarls. Take it from Bottomley, he
knows what the country needs and
he can furnish the goods.
There are other British leaders,
carrying less weight for. age, and
not so much in the public eye, who
influence policy, but it would be
/ mistake to underestimate Bottomley
His weekly is a power in Britain; it
played no small part in holding up
British morale when American bacon
was particularly salty and American
doughboys were coming over by the
hundred instead of thousand. His
weekly gave Lloyd George the cam
paign platform of Hang the Kai-
SER and Make the Hun PaX." The
bIacker the outlook the brighter was
BottomIey in those disheartening
days.
The war over, Bottomley bought
submarine. At first nobody knew
whether he intended 20 start an
other war or go pearl hunting, but
finally he put it on exhibition at a
shilling view. He sells the John
Bull pen and offers weekly prizes
for "bullets" (limericks) and cor.
rect guesses about the football
scores.
Some Americans reading John
Bull for the first time and with no
knowledge Of the physical advan-
tages Of the editor hope to meet
Bottomley in a dark alley. If Bot
tomley had been an American he
would have been the champion
twister of the lions tail or he might
have decided to hit the poor animal
over the head with a telegraph pole.
| Being a Briton, Bottomley is salts
fed to express his opinion about the
exchange and the country "too
proud to fight" for the first two
years, the dumping of American
goods into land filled with unem-
| ployed and a few other subjects
calculated to cement the friendship
between first cousins. After a while
Americans buy John Bull just to
find whether there is any spot on
their anatomy which is still un-
bruised. There is a certain fascina-
ton in seeing how much punish
ment can be administered to Uncle
Sam.
Not as a politician nor as q
journalist is Bottomley at the
height Of his power and influence
Bottomley is strong because he is
BottomIey. He has mis- own par
ticular party and he is the "frienc
of the people"

LONDON.
INTO forty-seven years Winston
I Churchill has crowded all the
adventures of a half dozen ordi-
nary lives. Now, in his forty-eighth
yesr, he accepts the secretaryship
Of the Colonial Office. Churchill is
larger than his Office. Red tape and
precedent mean little or nothi2.r to
him, unless he desires to use them
to his own advantage. Son of a fa-
nous father, he has found that no
handicap in his public life.
Churchill is versatile. He has
earned good living by his pen and at
least half a dozen newspapers would
be glad TO have him sitting in the
editors chair. Churchill's work as
a journalist indicates that he would
stSive to publish a newspaper with
&C least one sensation daily. He is
SorceSul. vigorous writer, given to
generalization, sweeping in his de-
nunciation, sharply critical. During
the Boer War his dispatches at
trscted much attention in and out Of
the journalistic world. He works
rapidly and all the time.
His work with the brush is above
tho average of amateur painters.
Churchill paints for relaxation, to
rest his mind, and his wife encour-
agss him In this hobby. He is rest
less, inclined to worry, intense, some
times careless. Art experts say he
should concentrate on painting; this
advice does not come from political
enemies. His paintings are chiefly
landscapes.
Churchill might have been a
wealthy man, but he is not. Any
one who has bargained with him for

learns he Is no novice in business.
de has imagination, thinks in big fig
ures, and could swing a deal, what
sver tbs size, Money worries him and
II doesn't. He spends freely and
makes more when he needs it.
What an actor he might have
BEEN! He shows his possibilities al
most every time he intervenes in a
parliamentary debate. In dress, in
gesture, in speech, he IA an actor.
In the middle OF the war, ousted from
political Office, he started for the
Fenches, wearing the uniform of
TIE rank to which h0 was entitled,
and carrying q sword. Other SOL
diers shipped OFF TO France quietly
and unobssrved; Churchilrs exit or
satRanca was as dramatic as the
mevie manager would want IT. Ma
srrc tried to handicap him by thick
saing his tongue, but he is a dra-
matte orator, nevertheless. Nothing
's too difficult; everything is pos
sihla.
AS sailor, soldier and airman
Churchill has served his TINA. His
critics say he made hash Of the Ad-
mtraley; his friends declare the Gal
hpoii disaster was due to lack Of i'm
agtnation on the part of Churchill's s
colleagues. Almost single-handed he
launched 8 great expedition against

TOHN ROBERT CLYNEs,
" leader of the English
Labor P0rty

Of Clynes. Henderson, the secretary
and organizer of the Labor party, is
primarily a politician. Clynes is a |
bit of a politician and a good bit of
an Englishman. In other words, he
is not so much Of a Labor politician
that he can see nothing except from
the party viewpoint. His has been
profoundly difficult personal strug-
gle, but he is not sour, bitter, disap-
pointed. He does not look for short
cuts, has no desUe to overturn So
ciety, but he never forgets that he is
trying to better the position of the
laboring classes.
Clynes is too conservative to suit
many of those in the laboring ranks.
but he is not so radical as to an
tagonize the employers. 1t is a
delicate job to preserve the proper
balance; Clynes is a master.
The Oxford undergraduates have
given Clynes an ovation at the close
Of an address he was invited to de-
liver. He has talked to the boys at
Eton. | have heard him cheered to
the echo in hall crowded with
pipe-smoking workers who had
come to protest against his policy
of moderation. He is not a great
orator; he possesses little personal
magnetism. But Clynes convinces
one of his sincerity and absolute
honesty.
In Parliament .Clynes commands
the attention of his colleagues,
though naturally he does not always
convert them to his political point
of view. He is one of the chief
advocates of a change in English
policy in Ireland, and the chances
are that he will live to see his ad-
vice followed out. Whenever an
important committee or commission
is named to hear evidence infuenc-
ing the various classes Clynes is Sc
lected as one of the Labor repre-
sentatives.
The English newspapers make a
feature of articles by British La
Dor leaders, and Clynes has a good
market. He writes well, makes his
point, is never extravagant or SEN
sational. Even the reviews welcome
articles from this leaders pen.
AS an administrator he is quiet,
unruffied, loyal to his employees
and employer-the government be-
ing an instance in mind. All those
who worked under him in the Food
Ministry respected him and knew
that they were assured of a square
deal.
Clynes Ia about Churchili's age;
he looks considerably older, though
he has more hair. The Labor leader
will never equal Lord Randolph
Churchill's sons record as q gov
ernment administrator, but he will
leave public life with fewer enc
mics. Lord Reading says that it is
inevitable that all men in public
life are bound to make enemies.
Clynes has been particularly fortu-

Astronomer.

Vallejo, Cal, July o.-Extraordi-
narily warm weather of the present
summer is caused by an unusual
| downpour of meteors on the sun,
increasing its radiation and effective
surface temperature. in the belief OF
Prof. T. J. J. See, government
astronomer at the Mare Island navy
yard. Professor See voiced the be-
lief in a statement issued tonight.
"Since mass of meteoric matter
greater than our moon is falling into
the sun, every century," he said, "ie
is very improbable that the down.
pour proceeds at Uniform rate. 1t
it comes down in gusts under the
actions of the chief planets, .|hal:er
and Saturn, which are now near ;..n-

evening sky, then we should have
sudden increases of the suns radi.-
ton, just such as we now wt.lcss

"This is sufficient explanation ri
the unprecedently hot summe@ snd
so simply and directly connected
with the established secular accelera-
ton and increase of the suns mass
by meteoric downpour that public
attention should be called to the ma
ture of the cause at work. 1t has

found researches, astronomers are
