To the political opportunist an
elction result is important as re-
vealing the direction Of the wind
OF public opinion. enabling the pro-
fesslonal office seeker to adjust his
sails to the breeze that may carry
him 10 power. To the patriot whose
interest in politics is the public
well being such results are i'm
portant as signs OF progress or of
danger. Those who have nothing
personal at stake in politics, sue
cesses or reverses in politics are
not from a selfish standpoint I'M
portant. Success brings no eNulta-
ton. but rather the sense OF re-
spoDsibility, and defeat has no sting
but the thought of a possible mis-
take by the electorate that may re-
suit in the injury OF public inter
est. Certainly no honest man
changes his principles merely be-
cause for the time being they have
fallen into some degree Of public
disfavor. He may modify his pro-
gram or adopt new means of reach

From the New York Tribune.
The Parliamentary elections II
Great Britain ran true TO form. The
conservative, or Unionist, party Is
the majority party in the United
Kingdom. 1t carried a majority OF
the seats in the Cummons at the
khaki election Of 1919, If the three
iUnionist groups OF that period-the
Coalition UnionistH, the Ulster
Unionists and the Independent
Unionists-be considered as one
body. There were 346 Coalition
Unionists. 20 Ulster Unionists and
s Independent Unionists in the last

The Conservatives have elected SAC
members, with twelve constituencies
still to be heard from. and will prob
ably have a clear majority of be-
tween 80 and 100.
This IS the outstanding feature Of
this election-a strong drift toward
the Conservatives as the only party
capable of making Roadway against
a rapidly growing and militant La
Dor party.
The second outstanding feature is
the displacement Of the Liberals as
the Opposition party. The Labor
group in the new House will num-
Der from $50 to 140. The two Lib

CLANS together@will hold 105 seats

from thirty-three to more than
sixty.

POLITICS NOT FOR WOMEN?

From the Baltimore American.
Notwithstanding Ererson's SAYING
that "a foolish consistency IS the,
hobgobiin OF little minds" It does
seem opposite to say that there is
something inconsistent IN Miss Alice,
Robertson's attitude when she heard
o. her defeat. She IS reported to
have said that she had learned IN
office that women should Keep out Of
politics. II IS a curious statement
for a woman to make right in the
face Of the nineteenth amendment
and considering the courtesy that
Miss Robertson has had during her
term OF public service. For men,
as we'll as women. there is much that
IS disagreeable or worse in practical
politics, and II shows the, greater
strength Of mind not to run away
from It. but TO stay in and fight II
out. Besides, even II It IS a blunt
question to ask, II Miss Robertson
had won the election would she
have declined the call Of the cleo
torate? The fact that she ran as g
a candidate IS surely clear proof that
she was willing TO stay IN politics
a little longer If the luck had come
her way.

the desire to get there in a hurry
is responsible for most of our street

Is true there are fewer cars. but he
attributes the greater safety largely
to the British hesitanoy to run risks'
and to the greater respect for police
authority.
There Is nothing particularly new
in this except that It may suggest
to Americans that our hurrylng habit
may have to be abated by modern
