PARTIES IN GREAT BRITAIN.

The Conservatives lost about 160 seats in the English elections last Thursday The Laborites gain ed l25 and the Liberals gained 35. While figures are lacking it is safe to say that the Liberals have many fewer seats than their total votes would naturally entitle them to- That has been the case for many years In the present Parliament the Lib erals have one member for each 76,000 votes cast. The Laborites have one member for each 36,0OO votes cast and the Conservatives vote for each 10000 votes In the 1923 election the Liberals cast than 1O000g00O votes and 158 seats The Laborites 192 seats with 4500000 votes and the Conservatives 257 seats with 7700O00 votes It will be seen that in order to win in three party con test it would be necessary for the Liberals to have an overwhelming majority of the popular votes
 This situation is the result of two things. First, of course, the rotten borroughs' where only a few votes elect member. These almost wholly Conservative seats Another is that the Liberal Party is probably the most nearly Ma tional Party of the three parties It has large number of votes in all constituencies those that are naturally Conservative and those that are Laborite as well as those which it carries itself On the other hand there are scores of con- stituencies where there practically Laborite votes at all and there many other consttu- encies which almost wholly Labor and Liberal.
 Lloyd George has made minority representation one of the Liberal Party issues for several years It is probable that he will make the acceptance of the issue part of the price of Liberal support that will be necessary to uphold Labor Government If that point should be gained, the Liberals will hereafter have far more members than they have had in any of the last several Parliaments.

Canada's Flat Refusal.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Canada definitely has refused to enter into an agreement with the United States which would place upon the Dominion Government responsl- bility for keeping America dry. The Ottawa Gov ernment officially has refused to prevent the clear of rum-laden ships bound for the United States.
 So ends for the present at least, Canadian American negotiations toward international coopera- ton in crushing the border rum runners and the $50 100000 booze business will go forward.
 Canadas alleged reasons for not accepting such a proposal that made by this country in this connection include the huge expense of attempting to enforce the liquorexport provision and the fear that every cove the great lakes and Atlantic and Pacific seaboards would become smugglers' hang outs"
 But chiefly the Dominion Governments objection is that such official prohibition that Govern ments part would place Canadian rather than American shoulders the responsibility for keeping America dry
 It is claimed by the Canadian authorities to be the certainty that no policing of the border could subdue the liquor smugglers and that interna- tional complications might arise as a consequence of this smuggling Canada had accepted the responsibility of banning shipment.

EARTHQUAKES AND NAVIGATION.

It now appears that it took an earthquake to catch Capt. Gus Nord who failed for the first time to take his ship home when he left the Aleutian behind The testimony shows that the charts ndi- cated from 168 294 feet of water where the Aleu- tian struck rock The natural inference is that the rock was thrust up from the floor of the sea by an earthquake Earthquakes have way of doing that sort of thing now and then up where the sun swings north And that suggests that wire-dragging might very we'll be made permanent Government industry in some parts of the waters of Alaska. Whole islands have been thrust above the surface before now in those parts. However, it is the up- heaval that does not quite reach the surface that must be provided against.

THE EXPORT DEBENTURE PLAN.

The export debenture feature of the Farm Relief Bill about which there has been much troversy simply explained, is a provision that would permit American exporter of agricultural products to collect from the United States one-haf of the amount of the tariff he would have to pay he had imported the products For instance, the tariff on wheat is 42 cents bushel. If American farmer exported wheat he would be entitled to collect under the debenture feature. 21 cents bushel from the United States Government.
 The proposition needs only to be stated to show that it is outrageous. However, the principle in volved is not different from that of tariff that taxes the consumer in order to add to the price of the producers products

TWELFTH DISTRICT INDUSTRIES
 PROSPER.

According to Isaac B. Newton, Chairman of the Board and Federal Reserve Agent for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District with headquarters at San Francisco continued aggressive expansion of indus try and moderate activity in trade marked the month of April and the early weeks of May in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District Demand for credit increased and, by mid-May, member bank loans were higher than ever before. The expansion in volume of credit in largely in loans for commercial purposes, although loans securities advanced to near the peak levels of last March. The Districts supply of funds increased substantially during the weeks preceding May 15 however, and despite the growth of member bank loans demand for credit ct the Reserve Bank was reduced to the lowest levels of the current year
 Industry in the aggregate, continued the rapid growth which has characterized the productive &C., tivtes of the District since the middle of 1923 The present high level of activity chiefly reflects heavy production schedules in the lumber paper and pulp, iron and steel copper, and petroleum industries. Output of cement and of food products smaller last month than year ago.

Utilizing the Ex-Prisoner.
(New York World.)

(NeW York WorldD
 The proposal to name Henry L. Brock, a former prisoner in the Eastern Pententiary of Pennsyl- vana to the Board of County Prison Inspectors for Philadelphia County is not only novel but appears highly sensible. Brock sent to prison result of fatal automobile accident, the general belief at the time having been that he pleaded guilty to various indictments in order to shield somebody else He was in no criminal type He had been a banker and prominent man. During the three years that he spent in prison before he was pardoned he became active in helping those about him to learn trades and to become honest Since he has been out he has kept up this work and is said to have accomplished great deal That he would be an uncommonly useful member of the board IS obvious. One such person, genuinely in- terested in retaining human beings, do more than dozen who take their duties only casually

Laughing at Ones Self.
(New York Times )


 The latest dreaded American invasion of England IS that of our humor. Ian Hay in recent lecture pelore the International Congress of Military Medi- cine, deplored the influence of transatlantic Jokes on the audiences in British music halls He thought that they were tending slowly corrupt the ancient sense of humor in Great Britain
 Attempting again to define distinctions which do not really exist the lecturer asserted that American humor IS highly artificial and calculated It is not so spontaneous as the British. We in this country revel in wild congregations and are all the time seeking to make fun at the expense of somebody ese' bfltish humor is of drier, more repressed sort and consists more often than not in a kind ol faculty Of self-criticism which laughs at itself rather than at others
 NO neat little formula of this kind can be made to ilt the fun making of one country without an piyag to that of the other, at least in some de- gree Americans may have tendency to tbint foreigners ridiculous and to make merry at them h,t they certainly do not spare their own misfort,nas ana Iscnances. If it comes to that. indignant Am eilcan humorlsts will stand up to the British and say that II there is any laughing to be done at us, we will do it ourselves. "'

Osa Johnson, who is forced to
shoot him to save her own life;
the stampede of a herd of eleph-
ants, seeking safety from a jungle
fire, the swarms of ugly crocodile
es infesting the rivers that the
party are forced to cross; the
gorgeous shots of running gratis,
of speeding antelopes and zebras;
perfectly marvellous flashlight
photos Of lions and leopards; and
above all, the scene which shows
fourteen lions, playing in a grassy
glade like a lot of big cats.
Shoots Charging Lion
One sees Osa Johnson shoot a
charging lion that falls within
twenty feet of her. This young
woman, who evidently has no
fear, calmly stalks some of the
most dangerous animals to get
them in places where her hus-
band a photograph them.
But really the great kick is
where "simba"-that is the native
word for lion-makes himself a
nuisance by killing off the herds
of the natives, and the blacks,
with only their spears turn the
robber into a pincushion lodging
his charges and hurting their
spears until he falls dead.
"Simba" is a picture that should
not be missed. 1t has thrills that
are real, not of the Hollywood
variety and, more than that, it is
picture the like of which will
not be seen for years and per
haps lever again.

Wolf Point Grade
Teams Lose To
Fort Peck Teams
(By Coach

Nov. 30. The Wolf Point grade
basketball teams met with even
less success on the Fort Peck
floor than they had the previous
week on their own floor against
BrOckton.
The first game, which was be-
tween the lower grade groups,
was evenly contested in the first
half, the score being 8 to 6 in Fort
Peck's favor. In the last half the
combination of a large gymnasium
and a group of larger players was
too much for our lower grades.
The final count was Fort Peck
20; Wolf Point 6.
Track and Lang played a good
floor game for the locals. Cantrell
of the Fort Peck school was
high point man with 4 field goals.
