TOO MODEST

Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, the excel
lent gentleman who is president Of
the Southern Railway, is far too mild
a man when he speaks of deaths from
trains and automobiles. After show
ing that not single passenger was
killed on a Southern Railway train
from the time road was turned back
by the government, March first,
1920, to August 81, 1922, and that at
the same time SO automobile pas
sengers were killed by Southern
rams at crossings he remarks that
automobile drivers do not appear to
be as careful as train drivers, and
yet, he says, That it cannot be doubt
el that the social duty of preeaution
rests as much upon one as upon the
other"
And in putting it that way we say
that Mr.. Harrso shows himself to
be overly modest. tie might have
pointed out that while the train driv-
ers were killing none of their own
passengers and the automobile driv-
ers were lett ing fif weight Of their
passengers get killed, that the aeci-
dents all took place when the auto
mobiles got on the railroads, and
none of them took place when the
train go. on the highway, except, in
deed now and then when the highway
has to cross the railway. He might
have pointed out with profit the fact
that an automobile has to go on a
railroad for only few fee. in scores
of miles, while a train has to go
on it ell the time.

LLOYD GEORGE, LAST OF
WAR LEADERS. RESIGNS
After Holding the Office of Prime
Minister for Seven Years, Welsh
man Goes lnto Wilderness

London. Oct. l9.-(By Associated
Press After holding the office OF
prime minister through seven Of the
most critical years of British history
three years Of war and four years
of reconstruction - David Lloyd
George went into the wilderness to-
day.
This was the description in his
Manchester speech of his position II
the unionist wing of his followers
should desert him. Unionist with
drawal from the coalition was decid-
ed upon today by the meeting which
Austen Chamberlain had called al the
Carlton club and which was attended
By coalition members of the house
of commons and handful of lords
who were enrolled IN the cabinet.
The vote was lS6 to 81 against the
Chamberlain policy of pledging the
party to sustain the coalition and in
favor af general election to confirm
lis course. The meet ng was followed
By succession Of swift events which
carried the coalition government into
outer darkness.
Bouar Law New Min'ste
Andrew Bonar Law will pu. on the
prime minister's mantle for short
term of office. The king summoned
him to Buck ngham late this even
ing and invited him to form mex
government. which Mr.. Bonar Law
will undertake. although the sta,e Of
his health. which compelled him 10
withdraw from public life few
months ago. makes i, risky venture.
LLOYD George ouilas, ,ed all the
statesmen who guided the grea; ma
tions through the world war. In the
turmoil OF readjustment that follow
ed the conflict. he kept his seat at
the steering wheel when all around
him were los ng theirs.
The men with whom he sat at Par.s
as the big four" Of the peace confer
ence, long ago, were toppled over.
Premier Orlando, of Italy, was the
frs. to 70. His cabinet resigned in
June. 1919. The following January,
Clemenceau. the French tiger, was
cast aside. Two months later the SEN
ate of the United States refused for
the second time TO ratify the peace
treaty Woodrow Wilson had brought
home from Versailles, and not long
afterward his party was beaten at the
polls.
The rise of Lloyd George was an
adventure in politics filled with as
much romance as the lives of famous
Americans who came up from log
cabins to the White House.
He was born in Manchester, Eng
land, January II, 1863. His father.
a Unitarian schoolmaster, died when
David was an infant, and the child
was adopted by an uncle, Richard
Lloyd, Welsh shoe maker, and lay
preacher With only limited educa
ton. David went into law office in
the little town in North Wales, where
he lived with his uncle. Then he
married and soon dived into politics.

was to come, bat after while every
body got to talking about il. When
Mr.. Craig was governor some en-
thusiastic fellow named him the good
roads governor and expected 10 see
wonders. But no wonders happened.
The old man kept jogging along at
about the usual gai; advancing here
and these as he could.
Then Governor Beckett came in and
Col. Kirkpatrick organized an air
campaign and turned loose many
salvos in behalf Of large bond issue
for state roads. Like Col. Kirk
patrick, everybody else was in the
air. except the steady and reliable
old man who was working along as
usual. TIE legislature fought and
uuarreled and let off steam and dill
nothing, for there was nothing that
il could do except organize kind OF
honorary state highway commission
principally for the amusement OF Col.
Beneham Cameron, whose time hung
heavily upon his hands. Then the
second Beckett legislature came in
with few more definite ideas from
the people. They wrangled and twist
ed and nobody knew what could be
done or what any one wanted done.
There were some half dozen bills
each drawn with an eye single to the
county or to the local preiudiceS OF the
representative who presented Il. But
they finally got the beginning OF a
state system. as far as the state wish
ed or could see at that time. The
most notable thing about it was that
they reduced the number of commits
sioners from the large and flourish
ing honorary list headed by Col.
Cameron, and gave Governor Beckett
the opportunity to appoint Frank
Page the head Of it, But they issued
no bonds and most of that legislature
would have fallen dead in their seats
had such a thing been seriously con-
templated.
Everybody went home and old
man f. V. 0Lution kept on the job.
By the tine the next legislature met
public sentiment had taken some
shape. Republican members had be-
come so pronounced for road bonds
that the Democrats failed to faint at
the mention Of il. Governor Morri-
son came in and Col. Kirkpatrick let
over some more ar artillery. Old
Uncle Rufe Doughton saw that the
time had come and the people were
ready to provide some money. and so
he let the legislature order the is
suance Of fifty millions, and other
wise provide funds, and also perfect
the state system so that Mr.. Page
could go to work.
So, step by step, the thing has come
along till the WILLIAMSON bridge has
been completed. Who deserves the
credit? There is no credit about it.
The thing has come along like every
thing else has come. by slow degrees
of development, needs and opportuni-
ty doyetailing all along Governor
Cra.g was no more good roads
Governor than his predecessors. Gov
ernor Beckett was no more good
roads governor than Governor Craig.
Governor Morrison is no more good
roads Governor than Gvernor Bick-
EFT was. Each has worked in his APP
pointed time and place and with such
means as he has had, all in the gen
aral scheme of that good but much
maligned old man, f. V. OLution.
