CONSERVATIVE ENGLAND.

The vote of confidence given Lloyd George, 372 to 94, means only that conservatism still prevails in England despite the fact that the vote of con- tidence was not given to a conserva- tive. Conservatism may be seen in a clinging to radicalism, even-al- though the Premier is no radical when radicalism has carried a nation through a trying period. Conserva- tism, of this character, is merely the hesitancy 10 make q change. The change having been made with the placing of Lloyd George in charge, conservatism hesitates before taking such q radical step as removing from his hands the leadership.
 Lloyd Georges insistence upon Russia's restoring economic honesty within herself before full recognition may be given her may be seen a re- necton of the attitude of the United States begun in the time of President Wilson and continued through our refusal to take part in the Genoa con- ference. Lloyd George, more than any other Premier of England, has had his eyes on this country and feels the slightest tendency shown in the government here.
 In regard to the future it is sure that if the changed feeling of the world, tending toward greater de- mocracy, does not strike England after the Genoa conference, another vote of confidence will not be given Lloyd George. If, however, that sentiment prevails there, a greater recognition of the benefits obtained

NEW LIBERTY.

The change that has taken place in the daily life of Russians, within a year, from temperance and scorning of gold to drinking freely and gamb- ling, was to have been expected, just as the change from speaking with care, or secretly, to eXtravagant talk was to be expected.
 The memorable rule is that the pen dulum will swing as far in the other direction as it has gone in the one. The reaction is practically as great as the movement from which that re- action comes.
 fin this country the tendency toward freedom in dress and manner has been the result of the same rule. It was the wave of reform" which set the pendulum going. When the re- no such abandonment of traditional, conventional dress or habit of speech

 Possibly the pendulum has swung as far as it will, Possibly not That 1t will swing back once more, nearly as far as it was previously-that peo- pie will return to convention-is cer- tain. And it is certain that the pen dulum will finally rest, if it ever rests again before some other force starts 1t moving, at something like a point which will represent the happy me dium."

BIsMARCK,s PROPHECY

A letter of Bismarcks, just mad
 public, says; "If God wills that WI shall be defeated in the next war then there can be no doubt that ou victorious opponents will halt at nc
 eNpedient to prevent us from gettlnf i, on our feet again-at least not Tor
 generaton-just as they did in So7,' Here Is illustrated the essential,
 peculiar feature of the German mind
 The plain implication of the letter Is that "our victorious opponents" Will be doing Il terribly wrong thing in
 preventing "us'' from getting on our
 feet" The blame is laid on Germany's
 enemies; Germany herself is ab-
 solved from all fault.
 The fallacy of the inspiration of
 the statement is plain, even though the statement may be literally true although the reparations demanded Of Germany which are preventing her getting on her feet" were not de- manded with that purpose in view. Quite the contrary, The German mind is unable to see the motive; 1t must impute a motive which the German mind can understand. She, Germany, would demand separations, to the Hast penny" gloating in the thought that the country from which she de- manded those separations was suffer- ing them. The allies, on the other hand, recognize that there can be DO quiet in Europe without Germany's rehabilitation. The reparations are demanded not to prevent her regain ing stability, but rather because they must be paid in order to place the nations attacked by Germany in like the position they oc- cupied before that attack Practical ly either Germany must pay those separations or the victorious nations, mainly France, must pay them economic suffering. England, especially, would like to see Germany get on her feet as quickly as possi- ble. It means much to England that she may do so. She, England, is even lowing to the necessity of conferring with Russia at Genoa in the realiza- ton that economic betterment in Rus sia aids Germany and stronger Ger many will be better able to pay the separations and bring better times, to Europe.
 The separations demanded may be Germany in trying to get on her feet but primarily she is to blame for mourning the debt and the allies are anxious to make the of that debt as easy as pos sible even for their own sakes.

POLITICAL PERPLEXITIES.

Suppose a man begins his duties a.
 mayor with no higher ambition thar to do the things that he will be able to point to when he comes up for re. election as reasons why he should be again made mayor.
 Suppose MT. Quigley is elected, or MT. Paonessa. Either would, quite properly, look back on the admins. tration's acts during the past two years to learn the mistakes, that they might be avoided, and to note the good things done, if they reached the conclusion that any good things had been done, that those good things might be done again.
 Certain acts of Mayor Curtis, they would say, lost him votes. They might say certain other acts won him votes. They would fight shy of the former and adopt the latter.
 Here arises one of the politicians perplexities. Take the matter of the dental clinic, for instance Mayor Curtis was criticized for taking credit for at least not opposing that move ment. Inferentially, on the other hand. he was blamed because the clinic was not established. Entirely aside from the question as to which claim was justified he would have come in for criticism in any case. If the dental clinic had been established he would have been blamed for in creasing the expenses of the city. He comes in for blame because it was not established.
 Either MT. Quigley or Mr. Paon- essa, viewing this situation, would be inclined to scratch their heads, if they indulged in this habit, and ponder deeply as to what course it would be wise to pursue. The "on the fence" position would seem the wise one as viewed with the politicians eyes. It Is difficult position and one which is apt to get the "straddler" in tronble-witness, say some, what it did at the primaries.
 The point to be emphasized is that the people would like to see in city hall a man who does not look at things through the eyes of the poli- tician. They would like to see a man who would make his position known plainly on every matter of public in- terest. They would like to see a man who does not begin his duties as mayor by looking ahead two years and asking himself what present act will do him the most good when cleo tion comes again. They would like to see a man whose position is never in doubt-one willing to stand or fall upon what he does and in what di- rection he gives his influence.
 The people would like to see in city hall a man who, no matter what he has been In the past, will remember | that the people are tired of ''politi- clans" and want to see the quality of | strong, straightforward manhood per sonifiedFi in the mayor of the city.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
DISCUSS TEACHER NEEDS
No Shortage in Number of Teach
ers, But Many Lack Proper
Training.

Washington, April 17.-That the
shortage of teachers, which became
so acute during and shortly after the
war, is q thing of the past as far
as numbers is concerned is we'll shown
by the Bureau of Education statistics.
That the shortage has been made good
at the expense of quality Of the
teaching force is stated by Federal
Commissioner of Education j. j.
Tigert. He believes that vigorous
methods must be used to raise the
standard of education and training
required of teachers, which was low
cred during the war because OF In
adequate salaries which were attrac-
tive to partly trained Eaen and women.
Representative Towner, Of Iowa,
whose name is associated intimately
with the Towner-Sterling bill to es-
tablish a department of education,
points to these statements Of Mr..
Tigert as but another argument for
the establishment of education in the
government on department, instead
cf bureau, basis. He points out that
illiteracy can not be overcome by un-
trained or half-trained teachers. 1t
is contended that the inspiring in
fiuence of federal standard of quail
ification to which teachers might be
expected to conform before they would
be considered eligible as members OF
the staff of state schools which re-
ceived federal aid, would do more to
raise the level Of teaching than any
other thing. Mr.. Towner emphasizes
the fact that the Towner-Sterling bill
when law, will not attempt to con-
troll, but to advise, in educational
methods, and will no more interfere
with the free expenditure Of state
funds for state educational purposes
than the department of agriculture
interferes at present in state agri'
cultural methods.
