MY manic Is George NathGull CUfsOn,
I'm, a most superior person.

This couplet, written by an Oxford wag,
L was aimed at Marquis Curzon of ked-
lesion, lord president of the council in the
British cabinet, who has Just passed away.
Written while he was a schoolboy, this
doggerel followed Curzon all thru life.
Even today, when his name belongs to the
ages, no words of ours could possibly give
the reader better picture of the man.
Somehow he never quite succeeded IN
putting himself over" Tho he held some
of the highest positions in the empire, 1t
can scarcely be said that he left an indeli-
bic imprint upon his times.
He was born with n career He was
trained for it from his earliest boyhood.
When still youth he became secretary
to the famous Lord Salisbury, and while
in his fortieS was named viceroy of India,
Later he became minister of foreign
affairs. After Bonar Law passed away he
should have become prime minister OF
Great Britain, but did not. Stanley Bald
win was chosen instead.
As foreign minister, CurZon was too
autocratic, too abrupt, too superior a per-
son to make the success he otherwise
might have made. He irritated Russia
unnecessarily and in his dealings with
France during those days leading up to
the Ruhr episode he CALLED Premier Poin-
care and other French diplomats to the
limit of their endurance.
Had the marquis been better man, n
warmer, more friendly man, his death
would have left bigger gap in the ranks
of the empires rulers. Thanks to his mar
rage with the Chicago heireSs, Mary
Letter. he had no financial worries, for
an annuity of 100000 was settled on the
couple by the brides father And undoubt-
eddy he had ability. Yet with all this, plus
all the other advantages his station in life
and his training afforded, he did not quite
reach the summit.
There's a first rate lesson in Curzon's
life for all of us, poor as well rs rich.
Don't be superior" Don't be a high
halter. 1t doesn't pay.
