GIVEN WORKING
MAJORITY In

Result
LABOR is DOMINANT
Lloyd George Eliminated ~
Factor In Government by
Voters
LABOR is DOMINANT

LONDON, Nov. l7.-CBy A3-
aociated Press. Identification IS
expressed by most Of the morning
newspapers as the result OF the
parliamentary elections. Several
derive satisfaction from the fact
that the conservative majority r
not overwhelmingly large, thus
enabling the opposition to exe
else a wholesome check on the
predominant party.
The long drawn out fight between
for,ner Premier Lloyd George, ana
Sir George Younger has for The Slisfc
ended with victory for the chaiman
Of the Unionist party. Younger ana
his adherents staked their political
fortunes at the famous Carlton Cup
meeting which, smashed the coalition
and sent Lloyd George into The wlla-
erness on the conviction that 'ae
country was ripe for return
straight party politics, and IN 1a
firm belief that the nation woula
support their conviction by sendiis
the Conservatives to the house 81
commons with good working ma
jority.
Their confidence has been amply
justified. Yesterdays elections have
returned a par'iarmcnt with aim It
the same overwhelming Freedoms
nance of Conservatives as The last
parliament elected in 1913 on Z
wave of grateful enthusiasm y
Lloyd George as winner Of the
war"
In the new parliament Premier
Bonar Law will command a majority
over all parties combined of approxi-
mately 80.
Bettern Than Expected.
While this can not be properly de-
scribed as a landslide, as the Con-
servatives at the time Of the disco
luton of parliament numbered about
$50, it amounts almost to the same
thing considering the peculiar circum
stances Of the time and the hish
hopes held by the Labor and Liberal
parties Of the return of the country
to progressive views, and it may be
supposed that the Conservatives
hardly expected such favorable re-
suits.
1t means parliament with little
changes, except that Mr.. Bonar Law
replaces Mr.. Lloyd George, rs prima
minister and that the former pre-
mier's attenuated following Of na-
tional Liberals, reduced by .he elac-
tions to under so, will presumably
henceforth be in opposition, instaad
of working in cooperation with the
conservatives.
7 The downfall of Lloyd Georgeism
is the outstanding feature of Jhe
elections. The coalition Liberals ab
the dissolution numbered 129; they
are represented in the new pariia-
ment by only al members. There will
be many regrets among the former
premier's admirers that he failed to
take the advice of his well-wishers
and retire temporarily altogether
from the political stage.
Labor in Second Place.
The Asquithian Liberals lately M
proved their position, rising from "a
in the old parliament to 62 in The
new, but they did not do SO well AS
they expected On the other hand,
labor, although it failed to fulfill the
high hopes the party entertained at
the dissolution, has done exceeding-
Iy well, rising from rs to 1876 seats.
1t is generally believed that labor
would have done better but Cor
the tactical mistake in its advocacy
of capital levy.

HUMAN
William Anterior Du Puy

p W. Wilson, of England, long a member Of
Parliament, throws some interesting sidelights
upon Lloyd George:
He says that Lloyd Georges human respon-
siveness is his strongest characteristic. There
was the time when he called on the new King.
for example, to condone with him on the pass
ing of the old King. His majesty said after
ward that Lloyd George was the only individual
who treated him as a man as well as a SOW
ereign.
There was the time also when the premiers
daughted died of appendicitis and P. w. Wilson
lost a son of the same complaint. Lloyd George
sent for the member of Parliament. and when
the latter arrived he found the former. this man
who directs the course Of world affairs in tears.
Tell me what it amounts to-" says Lloyd
George to some subordinate whenever an impos-
ing state paper requires his attention. He
refuses to read them.
Attack me as much as you like" he once
said to an unfriendly critic, but don't forget to
come around to my house for breakfast"
The premier is a Baptist, but is a bit con-
fused as to his classification among the varieties
of Baptists.
There are two sorts Of Baptists," he said one
day. 81 belong to one Of these branches Of the
church and therefore hate the other most
ardently. But for the life of me can't remem-
Der to which I belong"
It's strange how they keep on cribbng Mark
Twain's stuff.
A distinguished gentleman went in to see
President Harding the other day and afterward
he said that, following the introductions. he had
said to the Executive
II feel very much embarrassed, Mr.. President
how do you feel?"
Which was just what Mark Twain actually
said on such an occasion two or three decades
ago.
Then the same day I heard a United
States Senator make a speech and he pulled
this one:
IAN ancestor Of mine." Ne said, "once went
to hanging and there suffered injuries from
which he died."
That was number two from the author of Tom
Sawyer in the same day.
Fred c. Kelly. the author, had a secondhand
automobile for sale. He took great care in pre-
pairing an advertisement which he inserted In
the paper. Next morning he read that ad right
there in print.
That must be a remarkable car" he said, 1T
guess will keep it,"

The Secret
of Success
WHENEVER the news of the
wv day is dull, the city editor

" day is dull, the city editor
sends a reporter to inter
view a successful" man upon the
secret of "success. The "suc-
cessful" man rarely fails to re-
spond.
Henry Ford invariably tells the
reporter that success" is based
upon honesty, perseverance and
courage. John d. Rockefeller,
the elder, says that "success"
comes from saving nickels and
dimes. John d. Rockefeller, jr.,
tells the reporter that "success"
can only be achieved by the de-
yelopment of Christian character.
Jack Dempsey's theory of "suc-
cess" is that it depends upon the
development Of the biceps and
deltOld muscles.
Hero is one of the oldest stories
that ever went the rounds:
A physician, in the old days,
took his apprentice to the bedside
of an Irish patient. The patients
face was red and his temperature
was high. The physician slapped
him on the back.
"Get up and eat some corned
beef and cabbage" he said. The
next day the Irishman was able
to 60 to work. The apprentice
made a note in his record book:
Red face. High temperature.
Give corned beef and cabbage.
Shortly afterward, in the alb
sence of the physician, the ap-
prentice himself was summoned
to the bedside Of a German. The
patients face was red and his
temperature was high. The ap-
prentice prescribed corned beef
and cabbage. The next day they
notified him that the patient was
dead.
"Corned beef and cabbage" he
wrote in his record book, "good
for Irishmen. Kills Dutchmen."
If ever a successful" man
could give a prescription for
"success" that could be intelli-
gently followed, the whole world
would be "successful."
To most people "success"
means nothing more than the &C
emulation of money. In the
present temper Of the world there
is but faint connection between
prominence in art or literature or
science or any other branch of in
tellectual activity and Success"
When the word is mentioned it
raises, in most minds, a picture Of
a bank account.
Therefore, this word of warn
ing:
Be on your guard against all
recipes for "success. A man
who earns thirty dollars a week
can live on air and save every
nickel and dime that comes into
his possession and still never be
as rich as old Rockefeller. Rookie
Teller. possessed genius in the oil
industry.
A man may develop the finest
Christian character and still
never become as rich as young
Rockefeller. Young Rockefeller
possessed a rich father.
A man may be honest and may
persevere and may have indomita-
BILE courage and still never have
as much money as Henry Ford.
Henry Ford was a wizard in au-
tomobiles.

BaLfOUr's
Triumph!

UeOrSe may De, he Is not
" an migrate. The British
Premier has publicly thanked Mr..
Balfour, head of the British mis-
sion at the Washington Confer
ence, for "the fine present" he
has brought back from America.
The "present" to Great Britain
is the result of the Washington
Conference, with the resulting
naval disarmament, Pacific and
Chinese treaties.
Thursday, at a Government
luncheon for Mr.. Balfour, the
Premier said of the guest Of
honor:
We are here to express our
warm admiration for the way
he behaved away from home,
and we are here also to express
our deep gratitude for the fine
PRESENT he brought us from
America.
Fine present. We'll say it is.
And nobody knows it better
than David Lloyd George, Pre-
mier of the British Empire, and
Arthur Balfour, last of its great
builders.
He came to an America which
in a great national election had
declared against foreign entangle-
ments.
He came to an America about
to attain naval supremacy, her
surest defense,
He came to an America indus
trially and financially intact,
owed eleven thousand million dol
lars by the allied nations whom
it had saved from defeat in the
war.
That's the nation he came to
confer with.
What's the present it gave
hint
We agreed to abandon our aver
sion to foreign entanglements,
and to guarantee Great Britain s
island possessions in the Pacific.
We agreed to forego our naval
supremacy.
We are to scrap our new battle
ships, nearly ready for launching.
Great Britain is to scrap hers,
which are still on paper.
We are to limit the use of sub
marines, the weapon which Des-
tiny designed against island en-
pires.
We submit that Lloyd George
was right when he said that Mr..
Balfour took back a FINE PRES
ENT with him. He didn't ask
US for our money. Because he
already had it. Four billions.
On it Great Britain has paid no
cent of interest. She owes over
$600,000,000 in deferred interest
now. She has been allowed to
keep that money of OURS
To pay bonuses to her soldiers
at home;
And to equip armies abroad to
shoot down the citizens of Egypt
and India who seek their indie
pendence;
And to develop the oil fields in
Mesopotamia, one of the war
spoils of the British Empire.
In the meantime American in
terests are excluded from Meso-
potamia.
Perhaps on the principle that
gentlemen do not discuss money.
The treaties signed at the con-
ference are not valid until rati-
fed by the Senate.
Hughes, Root, Lodge and I'm
derwood can promise.
Only the United States can de-
liver.
