A GREAT FIGURE.

One OF the greatest figures in the worlds his
tory is the description of Lloyd George given by
Sir Arthur Balfour. Such a tribute, from such a
source, is both striking and significant. Balfour is
no novice. He comes of a family which has for
generations been influential i'll public affairs. He
himself is both scholar and statesman. He has led
the opposition to Lloyd George and has been one
OF his sturd1est supporters. He knows something
OF the man OF whom he speaks, and when he pro-
nounces his verdict his words carry weight..>
There arc those who deny that Lloyd George
is a statesman and bestow on him what they believe
to be the lesser title of politician. That he is a
politician no one will deny, and it will scarcely be
contended that he conforms to a certain traditional
type of statesman. On one occasion Lloyd George
said he was looking for a politician or two-there
were always plenty of statesmen. Which bit Of
sarcasm we take to mean that there is a super
abundance OF people with visions and ideals and
poses, and nothing else, but a decided dearth of
men who. in addition to understanding. had the
skill to devise workable plans to carry their purpos-
cs into effect.
Lloyd George represents the spirit of democra-
cy let loose in a land of established forms, Wash
ington Irving describes the typical Briton as being
so welded to his traditions that he is reluctant to
reform what he knows to be abuses, because they
are good Cd English abuses. And Irving's descrip-
ton fitted. not alone the aristocracy, but the hum
bier classes, who are always ready to grumble at
their government, and always ready to fight for it.
In a land so strongly in love with its traditions the
fiery Welsh politician launched one campaign after
another against the privileges of the established
church, the established landed aristocracy and the
established House of Lords institutions as British
rs King Johns charter. and won on every count.
The man who could do what this man has done
is something more than the clever opportunist that
some of his critics would have the world believe
him to be. The trickster may win once, or twice,
or several times but he cannot keep it up for a life
time, with the keenest eyes in all empire watching
his every move. Success in the attainment of ones
object is not always an indication OF greatness. 1t
may be due to a combination of cleverness and good
luck. But cleverness and good luck alone do not
enable a man, year after year. to carry out success
fully plans pertaining to the government of a mighty
nation, and to hold in continued alliance with him
the most conspicuously able men in that nation.
There must be something behind it all, and if a man
may be great without being statuesque, it seems
that Lloyd George must be a great man.

HE ROARS

1t is not very long since Mr.. Townley, CAM
paigning in North Dakota, caused it to be~tnder-
stood that if things did not go his way he would re-
turn to the state and organize a boycott against the
business men in the cities and villages which would
put them out of business. Things did not go Mr..
Townley's way-decidedly not. He has returned
t. the state and is campaigning again, but he is not
organizing any boycott. He is roaring-as gently
as any sucking dove, He is for letting bygones be
bygones. He wants everybody to get together on
a basis of harmony and good will. and as evidence
OF his pacific intentions he processes willingness to
let the present state administration have a fair trial,
especially as the clearing up Of the mess which his
partlsans LETT is not a job to be envied by anyone.
We may all have our guess as to what Mr..
Townley is up to-. 1t is certain that he is up to
something. But lest those of us who have striven
TO bring to an end the political plans and policies
which he represents blunder into an over-con6dent
attitude and assume that his following in this state
is gone, it may be we'll to recall a few facts in the
history OF the league.
Townley made his appeal at the beginning to
people who were convinced before he started that
they had been defrauded, and who were looking for
some way of getting even. How great their mis-
take was does not matter. They believed, and
Townley capitalized their belief. Because he as
,red them that all the things that they had been
linking were right they liked him. When he in
cnted a few grievances of which they had not
thought they liked him still better. He created
among them a sort Of enthusiasm which can only be
compared to a religion, and every attack on the god
that they had taken unto themselves merely intensi-
fed their devotion.
It was not long until there were schisms in the
anks of the priesthood, and some Of those who had
occupied high places publicly denounced the found
er Of the faith. It did not matter. These men were
themselves denounced as traitors to the great cause,
ingrates, followers for the sake of the loaves and
fishes. Their detection carried a few Of the rank
and file with them. but very few. The 1eaguers
still believed that Townley was their hope and their
salvation, and instead of crucifying Townley the
apostates.
There is a wide split in the league leadership
Just now. Three members of the state committee
of five have declared open war on Town1ey. These
men control the official daily newspaper of the
and through its columns LEAGUE members
are told that Townley is unfaithful to them, that he
has always been = boss Ind is determined to keep
Il III, that he has plannedto sell them TO the enemy.

o in CONFLICT.

A voluntary committee of eminent men of
which former Attorney General Wickersham is
has adopted resolutions strongly urging
the ratification by the senate OF the treaties cmaS
mating from the arms conference. 1t will be re-
that Mr.. Wickersham was one of the
strongest advocates Of the entrance of the United
States into the League oflNations. In the list of
members of the committee over which Mr.. Wicker
sham presides are the names Of many men eminent
in varied forms of constructive activity who also adj
vocated the ratification of the Versailles treaty,
which included the League of Nations covenant.
The fact that these men, among whom are
many who are we'll known for their sanity and bal
ance and who are as little likely as any men in the
country to be carried away by a wave of unreason-
ing ntimen have placed themselves on record in
favor of both these great compacts may be accepted
as pretty satisfactory evidence that there is no con-
flict between the two. The arms conference treaties
are not antagonistc to the League of Nations, and
any attempt to make them appear SO may be accept
ed as based either on a strangely perverted view Of
them or on a partisanship which prefers the wreck
of a movement calculated to promote the peace of
the world rather than that a political opponent shall
gain something in prestige.
The attitude of the American committee as in
dicate dabove is in accord with the attitude of states
manship abroad among the foremost nations. With
the exception of the United States all the nations
represented at the arms conference are members of
the League of Nations. Some of their Statesmen
took prominent parts in framing the League cove
nant. Nowhere is there evidence Of a disposition on
the part of these nations to abandon the League or
an inclination to doubt its effectiveness. And from
many Of them have come expressions Of the con-
viiction that the work of the arms conference is sir no
sense in conflict with the League, but rather supple
.meptary to it..
No Organization has yet been devised which
can do everything. When an agency is created for
the performance of a certain work, other agencies
are still found necessary to aid it and to take up de-
tails for which no provision has been made. Not
withstanding-the fact that a League of Nations has
been formed, jnternational conferences are still held
for various purposes. One is to be held at Genoa
in the near future to take up work which the League
cannot perform as expeditiously as it is hoped that
the special gathering may perform it. The arms
conference was held to deal with specific problems.
1t has dealt with them in a most effective way. The
work which it has done is in harmony with the pur-
poses for which the League Of Nations was created,
and those who believe i'm the efficacy of the League
cannot consistently reject the other.

FOR CHURCH OFFICERS

CHESTERTOWN. Nd, May A.
The convention OF the Diocese o.
Easton today postponed for year
az least. granting OF the right tC
women 10 vote in church councils
The question came up when Frank
Wright of Denton offered a petition
from st. Mary's White Chapel par
ish asking for the right Of women 10
hold offices now held by men under
existing laws and 10 vote for church
officials. as authorized by recent act
of Legislature.
William G.. Kerbln Of Snow Hill
opposed the request on the ground
that the act passed by the Legisla-
ture did not take effect until June
/. 1922. and that this convention had
no authority to act. Dudley s. Roe
of Sudlersville championed the wom-
ems right to all privileges held by
men and stated that in his opinion
the convention could take the prop
er steps authorizing any parish
which compiled with the act 70 en-
Joy its privileges on and efter June

Bishop Davenport closed the dis
cussion by reading an opinion from
Judge Packard and stating that the
