CHAPLIN AT THE CAPITOL

The Circus" Charlie Chaplin'a latest comedy, his first in two years and a half. is still drawing large crowds to the Capitol where it Is be- ing presented all this week.
 Capitol audiences are delighted with Chaplin and that he still re- mains the king of comedy is easily seen in "The Circus" wherein he offers a remarkable portrayal in pam tomlme: gay. joyous. most of the time. his ability for turning to pathos is quicker than the eye can see.
 In "The Circus" he is still the old Charlie in the character that made him famous--battered derby hat, misflt suit, little moustache under his nose. a badly battered pair of shoes and his cane.

London. Feb. IS R1To the coun- tess of Oxford and Asquith - better known as Margot Asquith-political writers give credit for having had much to do with her husbands suc- cess in climbing to the exalted posi- ton of primo minister.
 Herbert Asquith. 1t Is pointed out. was . great scholar. an erudite statesman. and in tho forefront of England's orators. But he was in many respects a somewhat diflident and retiring man. where his personal interests were concerned, and was not of the type to push himself into the limelight. His brilliant wife furnished those qualities which he perhaps lacked to achieve personal greatness.
 Was Outstanding On one point most of the critics asree-that Margot Asquith has been sonalities of her day, As Margot Tennsnt she was one of the most brilliant wits in the court of King Edward VII and much in favor with royalty and society in general be- cause of her scintillating conversa- . tion. her extraordinary vitality and vivid personality.
 From the time she married Her bert Asquith until his death she de- voted much of her endless energy to his interest She provided the stage management for the great actor That she had her severe critics is admitted, but 1t is point ed out the most outstanding char acters draw fire at one time or an- other.
 It was sometimes jokingly remark ed that Margot was the real premier when her husband Was in power. Observers say that this is detracting too much from the work of a. great man though they concede that she provided a good deal of the driving power in this life partnership. Never once did she desert her colors. even in the most trying moments of her husbands career. when he had to give way to Lloyd George in the premiership. and later when his party was shattered and he was in- volved with Lloyd George in a des- perate battle for political leadership. Fought Like Tigress She fought like a tigress at bay with her young. employing the full powers of her brilliance against the enemy and she was with her hus- band constantly in his last and great est fight, through the long hours of the day and night as his life slowly ebbed, never forsaking the post which she had maintained so loyally through the long years of their com radeship.

Distinguislled Career

The career of Herbert Henry As quith was one of the most dis tnguished among contemporary statesmen in England, where he was regarded as one of the most able. scholarly and hard working leaders who ever headed the government. His long period Of public service was replete in dramatic possibilities. but he never took advantage of them to play to the gallery. Seem- ingly content to lead his people by
 following them. he advanced quiet ly by sheer tenacity and hard work. coupled with natural ability. One

when free trade was at stake the schism ill the Liberal party disap- peared overnight. Baldwin's defeat was stunning. Conservatives retain- ed only 259 of Bonar Laws 347 seats. Labor held 1s1. the United Liberals 15s. while six independents were returned.
 Labor Threatens
 1 An unprecedented political situa- ton confronted Great Britain. No party had the necessary majority to form a government. Labor was knocking at the door as the second strongest party.
 With characteristic composure As quith met the new crisis and on Jan- uary IT. 1924. he announced that ! Liberals would support the Labor vote of no confidence in the Baldwin government Baldwin resigned. La bor was inducted to power and the l two-century precedent of England's two party system was destroyed. Thus at the age of 72 Asquith met another great crisis and dealt with ! IL "lNll tllb NiStIOuN lieSll VIC" punt of the youth who had entered the | house of commons nearly 40 years | before.
 i Asquith started life with no ad- vantages ot fortune. He was born September 12, 1852 of a middle class. nonconformist Yorkshire family. His father died when he was eight and the boy went 10 London to school. At school he won prize after prize. Then two scholarships to Bal llol College came his way. At Oxford ! he developed as an orator, and like Lords Curzon, Grey and Milner be- ! longed to the famous Oxford intel lectual clique influenced by Jowett Young Asquith made no profession toward athletics but was more hu- man than John Morley, who never knew any physical recreation but walking. Asquith played auoits. In later life golf was his recreation. Admitted to the Bar
 Tn 1876 Asquth was admitted to the bar. and when still an almost hriefless barrister. married his first wife. Helen Melland of Manchester. Four children were born Of the un- ion. His wife died in 1891 and later he pursued and captured the clever est political woman of London of that day. Miss. Margot Tennant. Five children were born of the subsequent marriage. Three died at birth.
 Asquith entered parliament in 1886. giving up a highly successful legal practice and three-quarters of his income. He was one of the few young parliamentarians to have had | his maiden speech eulogized by Joseph Chamberlain. and his clear tory soon attracted attention from older members of the house. Shortly after his election one of his motions brought about the downfall of Lord | Salisbury's cabinet and Gladstone ascended to power. Six years later Gladstone gave him the home office portfolio and thus at the age of 70 he was cabinet minister. He con- ducted great reforms in the home office. and then was put on the op- position benches for ten years by the victory of the Unionist party and Lord Salisbury, who was succeeded by his nephew. Arthur Balfour.
 Liberals returned to power in 1905 and Asquith was made Chancellor of the Exchequer under Sir Harry Campbell Zimmerman. He introduc- ed three budgets and showed such talents in keeping the nations checkbook that when the prime minister died in 1908 there was no

Q. position from the House Of Lorda the Great war, and finally the QusS- tion should Labor ruler" Tn all these great crises his ealn and direct manner secured support from his friends and respect from his political enemies. Being without egotism. vanity. jealousy or paita- ness. he did not insist on playing the leading role always. When oae of his colleagues in the cabinet suggested . reform he let him work 1t out in hts own way. at the same time Eivine him his strong and whole hearted support.
 Supported Measures When the national insurance scheme providing sickness benellts. the workman's compensation act, old-age pensions for the poorer classes and the meanre reetrictinR the power of the House of Lords to veto popular legislation were under discussion. Asouith lent them all the support of his strong intellect and lucid. orderly thought.
 The great war came to his calm being like bolt from the blue, but he handled the crisis with Rreat skill until the disjointsd times de- manded more emotional leader. In foreign affairs Asquith had wanted the closest relations. with foreign powers. He was without prejudice or ill-feeling abroad. q at home. He disliked the prevalent Russophobia of his land. He stood by the entente with France but he looked upon the alliance as but the first step toward . seriss Of other ententes in which Germany would find her place.
 However. he did not want for.ual alliances. Tn these days of Euro pean appeals for American partiei- patton in continental affairs.

Shadow cabinet" Their sction wal aimed directly at the procedure that had been the vogue of naming the liberal party whips. They insisted that the whips be elected by the liberal parliamentary party. instead of being named by Lord Oxford and tha shadow cabinet" as had been the custom.
 Although efforts were made to bring about reconciliation between the two leaders. the breach contin- u0d. and finally in October. 1926. Lord Oxford announced his resigna- ton as party leader. Broken in health, his move marked his virtual retirement from public life.
 Private Testimonial
 In July, 1927. it was announced that followers and admirers of Lord Oxford had prepared for him 6 private testimonial in recognition of his services to the country in the form of a cash present of $10o. 900 and an annuity of $1o.5oo. It was pointed out that Lord Oxford had turned down the certainty of q private fortune as a lawyer to enter public service. from which he re- tired virtually a poor man.
 Faced World Crisis
 Six years after Asquith became British prime minister in 1908. he was confronted with one of the most serious crises in the worlds history the outbreak of the great Euro pean war. Quietly. he led a cheer ing nation into war. and through perhaps the most perilous months in its history. The first mad rush of the enemy was countered, but few regarded the stolid man at No 10 Downing street as savior. Domes- tic crises followed. Public opinion turned from the leader who lacked magnetism. and when the war was half over the leadership went to Lloyd George, who had just the human qualities that AsquIth lack ed. Asqulth stepped aside. and the picturesque personality of his Welsh secretary of war replaced him.
 But Englishmen insist Asquith stepped aside. not down, for there was no decline and fall for the scholarly statesman who remained just what he was in the beginning. His power was in himself. not in his office. and in a sense he had just as much. or just as little influence after his resignation as when he was prime minister.
 Throughout the awful years of war, and the dreadful years of peace making. Asquith remained the same calm. steady bulwark of English ability and responsibility. During all those trying times he scarcely raised his voice above an even tone. Blood had never got into his eyes, even when Lloyd George split his be- 1 loved Liberal party wide open. Still Held His Grip
 Asquith was growing old, but he held his grip of affairs with quiet tenacity. He lived not only to see the prodigal Lloyd George returned 10 the fold of orthodox Liberalism. but to make Britain's first labor gov ernment possible by withdrawing Liberal support from the Conserva- tive regime which Stanley Baldwin had led to disaster in the general election ot December. 1923.
 Upon Bonar Laws death Baldwin had inherited large ma ajority in the house of commons. But Bald win wanted . mandate of his own so he went to the voters on the issue of imperial tariffs. Lloyd George re turned from his triumphant Ameri. can tour to plunge into the cam. paign under Asquith's banner. for
