never come back financially, and the
present representative of the family
was born in the little village OF
Lasiemouth. near tho Scottish border,
Of extremely poor parents in 1866.
Lasiemouth is on the main highway
between England and Scotland. Many
hundreds of English tourists pass
through 1t every year. The period Of
his youth being before the day of
automobiles, the livery business was
one of the principal industries of the
village. Young Macdonald helped his
mother earn n precarlous livelihood by
working around the stables. When
the wealthy traveller gave the reins of
his horse TO the little bare footed
urchin and carelessly tossed him O.
shilling for his services he did not
suspect that he was tipping a future
power in the House Of Commons and
the leader OF the second most powerful
party in that body.
AS he grew older no worked in the
factories located in his neighborhood.
His body was there, but his mind far
afield. AS he bent over his tasks he
dreamed dreams Of rising in the
world. of becoming a great barrister
and maybe some day representing his
district in Parliament His mother
was his great hacker and friend: too
poor to send him 10 college or even
to keep him steadily at the local
schools. she aided him In hts studies at
night, for she was an accomplished
and educated woman. His excellent
English and good manners arc duo

His dreams, however. were not 10

thwarted in his youth. The barrier of
caste was raised against him. The
elite OF the village thought IL pre-
sumptuous for this stable boy and fac
tory hand TO attempt TO step into the
society of gentlemen. No lawyer
would take him into his office. He
found to his sorrow that the only field
open to him was manual labor. Tory

against capital which he has never

ciety was unjust TO workers. His
proud spirit rebelled at oppression. He
wanted to get away from it all, to find
a new field where his stable boy past
would not rise up TO haunt him. A
large city is the only place in which
to lose your identity, so at the age OF
20 he went to London. After walking
the streets for two weeks and reach

only a few years, the Opposition lead
form a new Cabinet. Whether this
custom is to be followed in the case of
Macdonald, the very fact that he has
risen to such high position in the
British Parliament gives interest to a
discussion Of the man and what he
stands for.
l have been fortunate in being
permitted to interview him three
times in the last twelve years, per-
mitted to listen to his views on most
of the political topics now common in
England, therefore, will attempt to
give you likeness OF the man and a
concise statement OF his political
opinions.
You may like man and not ap-
prove of his policies. Personally, /
am in entire sympathy with the po-
litical principles Of Bonar Law, but
do not admire the man. On the other
hand, am entirely out OF sympathy
with any doctrine that has the least
vestige OF Socialism attached, but I
like Macdonald. He is such a clever
chiel, so agreeable, so urbane, so in
telligent that unless you are very care
full he will cozen you into sympathy
with his doctrines. In the first place
his presence is attractive. He is a
dignified, yet unassuming, magnetic
chap. His very looks inspire conf
dence. He has heavy black hair tinged
with gray and worn long; bushy eye
brows, very striking black eyes that
almost look through you and fairly
sparkle swhen animated; a long aqui-
line nose, heavy black mustache
shading q firm mouth good teeth and
4 strong chin He is tall and well
built, carries himself erectly, and his
very step exudes an abiding faith in
himself. He is a splendid orator;
some one has said that he can address
the House with the eloquence of Bal
four, the lucidity Of Asquith and the
fervor of Lloyd George. He is q good
dresser. The old Duke OF Richmond
the Premier. now Royal Duke of Eng
land, was extremely careless III his
attire. He looked like laboring man.
Macdonald, the Labor leader of Eng
land, looks like q Duke. lie comes by
his appearance naturally, because he
is we'll born. his ancestors being

days, equals and familiars with the

Says Socialism Is Sure to Come;
Calls Welfare Acts Offspring

Not only is Macdonald opposed to
the personal possession of property
and to it's natural corollary. the
right to collect rents, but he is
also opposed to interest, except as the
money loaned represents actual labor.
Flo would pay no interest on unesrned
increment.
He believes that the principles Of
Socialism are growing. Many men
who scoffed at the name arc adopting
its policies. carefully labelling them
selves in advance as progressives. He
claims that all the so-called progress
sive legislation, such as municipal and
governmental ownership of public util-
tiles. child labor laws, workmen's
compensation acts. are direct OFF,
Springs OF the socialistic principles.
He believes that these doctrines viii
gradually spread until they include
Gil work. and that the good time may
be hastened by the insistent preaching
of Socialism. This preaching Will
gradually bear fruit until finally the
socialistic doctrine will be accepted
by all Governments. The power OF
the rulers. He cites the case OF an
Indian rajah, who allowed a make

While Parliament has been more or

thinks, can only come through So

Labor Party's Strength
Greatest in English History

Anarchists, communists. ana 80
cialists have the same grievance
against all governments organized
under our present social system.
Monarchies and democracies arc all
tarred with the came feather according
10 them. They operate and are in
tended TO operate for the purpose of
crushing the masses, the poor luck
less wigbts who must labor with their
hands to earn their meager daily
bread. They are as vociforous in their
tttacks as arc some so called demo-
Gratis in their outcries against "the
interests" They claim that the pres
cnt governments have made a fetch
of property and placed its protection
above the safeguarding of the rights
of human beings. They. however,
have. different methods OF righting the
wrongs of the people. Tho Anarchists
would destroy government because of
itH evils. The Communists would
make the State the sole poesessor OF
an property and industry and would
assign to each citizen the task which
he is best suited to fill: the man him
self thus becoming but cog in tho
mighty wheel OF national industry.
1'his change could be brought about
'n1ly through a revolution, in which
property would be confscated. 4
h'he Socialists would arrive at the
Emo titopian condition by more
Ercuitous route, through n political
snovcment rather than a revolutionary
|onc. To this class belongs Mr.. Mac
donald. His recent elevation reminds
rs that this rs tho fist time in English
history that the Socialist Labor party
has had sufficient representation in
parliament TO force the choice of its
ohief as Opposition leader with the
probability OF higher political honors
awaiting him. Bonar Law was leader
os the Opposition and is now Premier.
Lord Salisbury was also leader of tho
opposition and also rose 70 the
Premiership. The same political course

LONDON, Feb. "a cheerful tone pre-

harder.
A firmer tendency was shown in the
Industrial market, but iron, steel and

The oil market continued to strengthen.

Wheat-Argentine markets have re-
covered portion of yesterdays decline
and English markets have shown great
strength. The immediate situation in
the English markets is of considerable
scarcity, stocks in the principal markets
being almost at the pOitn of exhaustion.
1t is said that 'millers, there, are becom
ing anxious, this being so, we may ex-
pect a still further display of strength
from that course. Russia is said to have
been Il heavy buyer of Argentine wheat
and 1t is understood that purchases by
Germany for February and March ship
ment have been on a very large scale.
We may, therefore, believe that there will
be no weakness in that section. Chicago
reports a little improvement in the flour
trade, otherwise the milling situation is
not brisk. Kansas City stocks of wheat
are large and the movement from the in
terror does not cOrroborate the many
claims of a serious outlook for the new
crop. However, just Os long as the
western portion of the northwestern
wheat belt fails to receive moisture there
will be many claims Of a dOleful nature
and warranted apprehension as to the
outcome. 1t seems to us taht the COM
bined influence of expected strength in
foreign markets and unfavorable condi
lions in the Southwest should place the
advantage with the buyer of wheat on all
recessiOns.
Corn and Oats-There is little export
business in corn at all times, but 1t is
not Oh SuHlclent NOlume 10 De an III
fuence in prices or to affect the cash
corn market. Cash houses were seen as
sellers of the futures, although not in
a large way. The market is again neg
lected and inclined to take its color from
wheat. We are, by no means, inclined
to suggest the anticipation of lower
prices. The seaboard speaks of a small
amount of export business in oats. but
the amount reported is insignificant. In
the Southwest, where soil moisture per-
mits spring work, seeding has com
menced. This market, like corn, is in
position to respond to any change Of the
routine news, but Just now is neglected.
Observation-Disclosures does not favor
the advance in hogs, but the shipping
demand Is insistent, Hereby keeping the
market strong. Some foreign trade is
reported in lard. The entire market was
dull, but displays frmness.
