labor PARTY IS
winner OF TWO
Commons SEATS
Wales Miners Defeat Candidates
Of Lloyd George Who Put
His Personality in Fight.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Two more
Welch coal miners are to sit in the
British house Of commons to repre-
sent the working class. Just before
Christmas special elections were
held in Abertil1ery and West Rhon-
dda, Wales, to till vacancies. The
British labor party named as it's can
didates George Barker and Will John,
both coal miners.
Premier Lloyd George and his sup
porters in the coalition government
also designated candidates, and the
premier, himself Welchman, went
so far. as to make q special plea for
a. strong vote in support Of the gov-
ernment.
At one time Lloyd George was the
idol of the people Of Wales, but the
results Of these special elections must
have been bitterly disappointing to
him, for Barker was elected by a ma
jortty of 1850, or almost twice as
many votes as his opponent received,
and John pulled through by a ma
jority of 4,076.
Barker has a splendid labor rec
ord. He has gone down into the pit
as a common miner, but for the last
II years has been member of the
executive of the South Wales Miners
federation, and for a long time has
been one Of the recognized leaders of
the British labor party.
John is regarded as more radical
in his political views than Barker.
However, both men ran on practically
the same platform. Their demands
were stated by one Of the candidates
as follows:
Unemployment to be dealt with
generously and swiftly; peace and
trade with Russia to increase British
markets and reduce prices; an end of
| the stupid and wicked diplomacy of
revenge that has knocked out Brit
| aims central European customers; q
treaty Of peace with and freedom Of
Ireland, and q winding up Of the vile
! waste on futile armament"

FRESH CHICKEN.

Tom Cranfill of Texas, prominent
in oil circles of late, tells the follow
ing on a minister who had discovered
oil on some land he owned. The min
lister invited some Of his deacons to
go with him to the new field, so that
they might share in the opportunities
They were breakfasting at the local
eating house and had decided that
they would order chicken.
When the waitress, a. calcimined
and peroxided miss, came up, the
minister inquired, How is the
chicken this morning?
"All right, kiddo!" she retorted.
''How are you?"
It sometimes pays to be good, but
it's always good to be paid.

MIR. BRYAN At BALTIMORE.

II - a persistent political legend
II { Mr.. w. J. Bryan was the chief In
stru1.-ent IN bringing about the uom-
nation Of Woodrow Wilson at the Ral-
timore convention OF 1919. This may
be true in the sense that Mr.. Bryan
flung himself against the candidacy u
Champ Clark, and 70 made another
choice possible. But tat he really de-
sired and sincerely worked Tor the
nomination of Mr.. Wilson has always
been open 10 doubt That doubt =
now strongly reinforced by the latest
instalment OF the autobiography of the
late Mr.. McCombs, published IN The
American Of yesterday.
Mr.. McConbs was mana ger for WI
son at Baltimore, and was afterwdrd
Chairman. Of the National Democrats
Committee. He was IN broken heaIth
and disappointed nsn when he wrote
down his recoliections, and personal
bias may have entered into sorne % his
impressions Of men and events. But
Il is not an impression. it is a record.
with time and place noted and lan-
guage cited, which he gave respecting
Mr.. Bryan's attitude IN the final crisis
of the long-dravn-o Baltimore con-
vention. Mr.. bryan sent for NJ. Nc
Combs, said 70 him that Governor
Wilson could not possibly be- NOM

OUR DUTY TO THE LEAGUE.

The League very emphatically re-
fuses to die in spite Of Americas boy
colt. It has done. better since our abb
stention becameg certainty than it
did during the doubtful days preced-
ing Mr.. Harding's election. That deci-
sion of last November, confirmed by
subsequent events, may well have
served to put the League on its met
tie. in more ways than one. There was
the inducement TO show the United
States that the European nations were
not absolutely helpless without us.
There was the desire to remove base
less fears in this country by showing
what the League in action really
amounted 20. And. following upon that
desire, there has been the hope that in
the course of time the United States
might be sufficiently cured of it's fears
ard prejudices to permit Amerf ean CO.
operation with the League, If not
American membership in it.
OF that hope and expectation we
get a glimpse in the reports from Cen
eva. Proposals for a change in the or
ganization of the League will be
brought forward at next weeks meet
ing by Renes. the Czscho -slovakian
foreign Minister. The Benes scheme

AMERICA IN THE AIR.

When the afr travel lines were es-
tablished between London and Paris
by commercial companies it was soon
discovered that the planes could not
be operated without a subsidy. Some
passengers would pay the fun price
at least for once, for the novelty Of
the trip, but the majority who might
want 70 take the air line would be de-
TERED by the cost.
The companies were failing as COM
mercial enterprises when the French
government intervened. Just az a wise
maritime power keeps merchant
marine as an auxiliary TO its fleet,
wise government keeps commercial
air services as auxiliaries to its mill
sary and naval air services. The
French subsidized the passenger air
lines.The traveller. who pays s25 70 go
from Paris to London is not paying
the cost Of the trip. The actual cost
is twice that. When the French gov
