During a conference at Washing
,on d. c., at which the Louisiana
senators and each of the members OF
the House were present, Secretary
DENLY promised to consider in a
friendly spirit any problem concern
inc the New Orleans station and to
guard against any preconceived hos
tiljty against the yard which may
e.ist in the Navy Department.
In view of reports to the effect
that the New Orleans Naval Station
might be closed, and as result of
charges of discrimination in the mat
fer of the assignment of work. Rep
resentatiye O'ConnOr thought it
would be well to marshal the entire
Louisiana delegation and have a
heart TO heart talk with Secretary
DENLY.
Senator Ransdell acted as spokes-
man. He told Mr.. DENLY that there
4 reason to suspect that there are
certain unfriendly influences at work
n his department against the New
Orleans station. He pointed out
that apprehension is felt that this
influence will be exerted at this time
IN the hope of persuading this ar
ministration to follow the action of
the preceding Republican administra-
ton and close the yard. Regardless
Of political utilization, he stated, the
people Of Louisiana and of the Gulf
coast are Americans who contribute
j to the support of the government in
the same proportion as do the people
, Of any other section Of the country.

he contrived a good general schooling for
him. His charm of personality and his
oratorical ability soon developed and he
was not long past his majority when he
had seized for himself seat in Parliament
and the opportunity to study law in
garret shared with brother Welsh young
ster in Lincoln's Inn. There was penury
then and there has been something akin
to penury in Lloyd Georges life through
out until Andrew Carnegie bequeathed him
an annuity of $4,000 year.
Yet from that time, 1890, when he came
to Westminster, he has never gone back.
There were fifteen long years of law prac-
tice during which he said his partner was
richer than he only because the expenses
of a lawyer who was also a Member of
Parliament, then without salary. were
greater than the expenses of lawyer who
was not And it was only in 1905 that
he succeeded at the end of the long Tory
regime in securing the salaried Office as
President of the Board of Trade to which

Liberal party in Parliament entitled him.

Often Is Cursed RoundIy,
But No Successor Is Found

In the service clubs, in the Morning Post,
in some of the stately homes of England"
in places where tradition lies in thick,
beautiful layers of moss. they curse him
roundly, but impotently. For when they
look for a man to take his place-they
have to look at Lloyd George. They
both Liberals and Tories-say he has no
principles, that his feeble legs are set upon
no foundation of rock as are they. the
Asquthian Liberals, on free trade and the
Tories on the sacrosanct superhumanity
of the county families and the public
schools.
But whether it be a Liberal or a Tory
politician who scans the horizon for a new
mountain from which the principles of
either party may be preached to the saliva
tion of the British constitution and the
return of the gazers own particular brand
of politician to power, he is pretty sure
to find that other more keenly perceiving

influence that from that time to this has
been exerted to the liberalization of no less
human institution than the British con-
stitution.
People especially Asquithian Liberals,
accuse Lloyd George of having abandoned
Liberalism. They say the Tory party has
swallowed him. But what would the
Tories of Disraelis day have said of his
declaration two months ago to the Prime
Ministers of the Dominions that the EN-
pire is now running Downing Street, not
Downing Street the Empire?
And what would the Unionists who
wrecked the giant Gladstone have said to
the letters he wrote De Valera but yes
terday?
The Tory party says he has wrecked the
British constitution. But the Tory party
has not yet pulled the Coalition from be-
meath Lloyd George. And the Asquithian
Liberals are denominated not only free"
but with literal truth wee" They are
but handful.

Preeminently a Leading Figure
In These Heroic Times

He stands to-day prominently the lead
ing figure of these heroic times. Some
bless him and some curse him; some call
him mere slick politician, and some say
his brow is laurelled with achievements
that will not fade down the centuries;
some say he accomplished much and some
assert that however much he accomplished
he has missed the greatest opportunities
ever given to pRn; some say he is great
influence for good and some say he has
wrought uncounted evil. But whatever
men say about him, they say that he has
done and that he is still doing.
And that, perhaps, is the keynote of
David Lloyd Georges character.
Since 1916 Great Britain has done nothing
without him. She has won q great world
war; she has dominated the councils of a
peace more far reaching than any settlement
in history; she has revamped her own con-
stitution, her own social and economic
system, her military, naval and financial
structure; she stands to-day in fair way
to settle her own worst internal problem
in Ireland; she contemplates participation
in conference at Washington which may
be more important to the future of the
world in settling at the worlds new centre
of gravity in the Pacific a larger and more
difficult difference among men, the differ
ence in race, than any difference that
arose through the Armageddon of the
white races.
And amid all these great affairs there
is only one name mentioned when It is
question of the voice of Britain No Briton
can tell you of any one he would now put
in Lloyd Georges place. no matter how
cordially he may detest the little, some
times almost comic. figure of the Welsh

q INCE 1916 four of the worlds great
est empires have crashed into the
dust-Germany, Turkey Austria,
and Russia. In the old days rumors of
political trouble in any one of them would
have sent Cabinets trembling and falling
throughout Europe.
Since 1916 there have been, through
these epic events, no less than nine hands
at the helm of Germanys ship of state;
France has had six; there have been six
Prime Ministers in Italy
Since 1916 the United States rose to the
position of real world Power; and a
great world figure, Wilson, homeland
fell.
Who can tell of the other great figures
the mists of this maelstrom? A Foch,
Haig, a Tirpitz, a Hindenburg, Clemen-
ceau--but where are they now? And who
can say who was Prime Minister Of
France at a half dozen periods of this
time? Who was the big figure at one
moment or another outside of the British
Empire?
But within the British Empire, in the
. sphere of world affairs where Britain
plays her powerful role, throughout the
world where there has been question of
Britain through these years-and where
in the world has there not been question
of the far flung English line?-throughout
all that space and all that time there has
been one name synonymous with Britain's
voice and Britains action.

greater length with the strings of the
worlds destinies than any man since Ma
poleon.
But the object of this article is not to
discuss the history of the years just passed
or those just to come, nor to argue British
or world politics. nor to take sides even
on the public character of Lloyd George,
nor to allocate to him his place in history.
Certainly every American knows his public
character, and from his public character
can draw his own conclusions as to what
sort of statesman he is. But few persons
in America, few in England indeed, know
what manner of man he is stripped of the
ermine, or rather the top hat, of Office.
Stands Only S Feet 6h.
But Is Fit to the Minute
Well he is five feet six and half inches
high and he weighs in the neighborhood
Of 14S pounds Of pretty fit flesh. He wears
size 7% hat and 1914 collar. He is
one Of the best dressed men in England,
incidentally, and he moves with a quick
and easy vigor that marks him as man
of action despite his looming brow and the
reflective expression his bright brown eyes
frequently assume. He has no mannerisms
H.,
are probably not a mannerism.
The cartoonist can eliminate his rather
long hair. his eyes, his mustache, his
hands-none of these alone would spell
Lloyd George. But the legs do. They are
unique in all the world, the way Lloyd
George uses them. His enemies say their
shortness, their decided inward bend at
the, knees and their relative insignificance

weakness of the mans character. All his
enemies say with great originality that his
character has Weakness But assertion
of the weakness implies certain premises
as to the character, and they base their
premises as to the character on Mr.. Lloyd
Georges decorative upper part. They
might just as well describe the horn as the
defect on the nose of the pjvo-kepas.
Lloyd Georges legs are not unlike the
legs of a slightly scissor hooked burro.
No one who knows anything about burro
would call its legs indicative of a defect
in the burros character. No less an
authority on the burro than the Dictionary
of Zoology remarks that "the burro is par
ticularly valuable for it's sure footedness
in difficult Places His legs, like the
burros, are highly indicative of one of the
most valuable points in Mr.. Lloyd Georges
character, ornamental only to those who
know their inner usefulness.
But, consonant with the whole character
though the legs may be, with them Mr..
Lloyd Georges characteristic resemblance
to the burro ceases. Upon these agile, use
full, always incased in carefully creased
trousers foundations rises the comfortable
paunch of a middle aged man who enjoys
hut does not abuse the good things OF
life, the broad chest and easily squared
shoulders of a man perfectly at ease before
men, the taut neck and well modelled chin
of one given to decision, the clean, firm,
but expressively mobile mouth beneath it's
white shadow of mustache, the solid,
well shaped nose, the big, broad brow and
the eyes.
Importance of Two Features

Importance of Two Features
In Considering the Man

And If Mr.. Lloyd Georges legs tell the
tale of one element in his character-sure
footed agility-the eyes tell the tale of
another, it's coequal in Importance. They
are rather large eyes, bright in color, but
one forgets whether they are brown or
blue, for they sparkle with the ingenious
merriment of blue and they shadow with
the deeper emotions more capably reflected
in brown. They are in fact like the eyes
of great actor in their ability to reflect
the whole gamut of human emotions: but
they are unlike the eyes of a histrion in
two ways: they are highly perceptive as

we'll as expressive organs, and they re-
fleet their own, not vicarious feelings.
Take, then, these two characteristics, the
agile ability to put himself In any place
and in any one else's place, and his ca
pacity to perceive and to feel; add to them
the capacity to select and arrange by in
tellectual processes the infinite number of
impressions thus gained plus equal ability
to express the result in a manner to i'm
press and to move other persons-and you
have the main structure of the personal
outline which accords with his history and
with his present performance, which is
confirmed by every personal contact with
the man.
Accustomed to Penury
For Most of His Life
His history is briefly this. He was born
fifty-eight years ago in one of the least

Perhaps it may be platitudinously
summed up by saying that he is essen

shaped, have already scrambled up and
all about its craggy sides and a complete
organization is spreading the doctrine
shrewdly among the people
Aside from Lloyd Georges shrewd will
ingness to avail of agility as one of his
best assets, there is another theory as to
his political development. The travail and
the suffering and the meanness implied in
those household efforts to get him his first
sixpence have left in him an indelible
and controlling impression that the infiu
ence of the mass of men ought to be ex
erted on the side of the under half OF
the mass. Certainly this dictated his
course up to the time of the war.
He gave up the Chancellorship of the
Exchequer to become Minister OF MUM
tons and it was he with his kinetic per
sonality that got the guns and the shells
for lack of which Kitchener's army fell
like flies. He got them from the great
munitions makers with a bludgeon.
bludgeon Of sentiment, it is true, but
bludgeon nevertheless. He got them from
the workers with bribe and soft word.
And now he is witnessing the natural
reaction He is seeing that the bribe
and the soft word sometimes spoil the
general run of men and women and chill
dren. He is seeing, in all probability, the
sinister result of giving to unthinking
people under the stress of necessity more
than they actually earn. He saw the same
thing when he attacked the dukes" and
the privileged classes, who got more than
they earned in the old days of his fiery
apostleship of Liberalism.

HENDERSON CALLED
 TO JOIN TRAVELLERS

Carl Henderson, son of pr. c. D. Henderson of Conway, yesterday re- ceived notice from the office of the Little Rock Travellers ball club to re- port at once and sign contracts for the year 1921. He left last night for Little Rock and probably will ac- cept the contract offered him by the 1920 pennant winners.
 Henderson has for the past several months been employed as bookkeeper at the Bank of Conway. He is a gradu- ate of the Arkansas State Normal School, and while there was the most popular athlete in school, He won his letter in baseball, football and basket ball. He also won his letter in base ball at Hendrix College before en- rolling in the Normal Last summer he was the star pitcher for Hope in the Southeast Arkansas league, and the fans of that part of the state as well as local fans are strong believers in Carl's ability to deliver the goods.
 Although it is not generally thought he will get a regular berth on the Traveller lineup this season, those who have witnessed his work during the past four years here predict that he will, with the proper coaching and training, make the Travellers a star pitcher by 1922.

DEBATE CONTINUES
 ON ABOLITION BILL

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Little Rock, Feb. 9.-The entire morning was consumed in the senate today in a continuation of the debate on the Emory-Wallace bill for the abolition of the Arkansas Corporation Commission, but two test votes taken during the forenoon indicated a de- cisive majority for the bill.
 Senator McCabe offered a motion to place the bill back on it's second reading for the purpose of amend ment, but the motion was voted down, 21 to 12. Senator Townsend then made a motion to postpone further consideration of the measure until Friday and this motion was also de- feated, 20 to IA.
 Realizing that the opposition was resorting to dilatory tactics, Presi- dent CaZort announced that he would entertain no further motions which would delay consideration of the bill Senator Vaughan of Pulaski made a short talk in favor of the measure yielding the floor to Senator Caldwell of Jefferson, who occupied until the noon recess was ordered. Senator Caldwell resumed his speech this af- ternoon. making the closing argu- ments for the bill
