Difficult to Under stand British Prob lens Here - Policy of DOIes to Unem- ployed w h e n Property Becomes U ne Useful ness of COnserva- tives.

The creators of property, in the main, are the kind of per- sons who are called conserVa- tives. H. G. Wells calls them the kinetic people. The people, he means. who are gifted with action, and who work well in the sphere of accustomed things. Every period of revolution dis women, the administrators, the executives of the nation. If they are completely displaced, it takes a long time to find new lea aders in the multitude. When mat ters have gone about so far, the conservatives usually arrest tho period of progress, and consoli- date what has been done.
 In little time the new things are acquired by the conservatives, they are reckoned with in ad- ministration programs, and, pres sently they become part of the creed of the very people who op- posed such changes. It is diff cult to tell about England, at this distance. Whether there is to be period of conservative ad- ministration, of production, of multiplying business. or whether haI ieS +nIx and the English are to pass from the radicalism of Lloyd George to the completer radicalism of a labor party of socialistic opinion.
 When President Harding says that prohibition will never be taken from the constitution, he uses the word never co11oquia11y, not to mean those vast periods of time in which new worlds are raised up and old ones thrust down. In much less time than never, this very continent will be exalted or depressed. Old noun tains will be thrust down, and new ones will be raised up. Long before this, the people of these United States will disappear. Ma tions, even, the most stable, per- tsh, as individuals do. The term of a nations lffe Is long. Com pared with never" 1t g. short life indeed.
 
 Why did the country reject President Wilson? Who fin Amer lea can answer this question completely7 It is harder much for Americans to know why Lloyd George is out of office in England. Only the larger facts about & foreign country come to other countries. Life is made up of mi1ltoss of details. which ef- feet millions of minds in quite unforeseen ways. Every act which a government does offends some. even though it pleases others. In time the accumulated trrtta- lions, hatreds and dissatisfa do their perfect or their jmper- feet work.
 
 The policy which Lloyd George pursued. was necessary. but it was costly. Without the cost the war would have been won. But Eng land out of work and paying six to eleven shi1lings in the pound for taxes is an England full of discomfort. There being unemploy- ment. doles were necessary. These doles were cancerous in their operation. They ate way the substance of the people, with out producing equivalent values.

 All that George did for the aid of the poor and the aged and the helpless is worthy, and in period of full production will be easy. When millions were un- employed and property was con- tinually leaking away. those who owned property became uneasy. Property is back of the move nent which unseats the great premier.
  . Property must not be put above humanity, but when property for any considerab time is consum- ed faster than it is created. the slump in humanity will be marked feature of the landscape. The full expression of such ca tastrophe has been exhibited in Russia. It has minor expressions in every country in Europe, and grave expression in England.
 
 The throat of Mrs. Mills was cut? Was it before or after she died. Some will say, a jealous woman did it. after the victim was dead. As easy to suppose
