Lord Morley’s Warning
By EDWIN MARKHAM.
" ORD MORLEY'S address “on
Pqlitics and History,” deliv
: ered before the University
of Manchester, is now issted in
book form by the Macmillan Com
pany, of New ¥ork City.. This
scholarly discourse presents ques
tions much in evidence in both
Kurope and America. Note this:
“Any reflective observer can
sketch some of the gigns of the
timesg in rather formidable outline.
Let us !look at it. Political pow
er is described as lyving jn the
hands of a vast and mobhile elec
torate, with scanty regard for tra
dition or history.
“‘What is history-to me?” asks
the plainebusy man. Demoeracy,
they warn us, is going:to insist
on writing its own program. The
stroeture of executive organs and
machinery is undergoing half-hid
den but profound alterations.
“I'he two Houses of Parliament
are being fundamentally trang
formed before our eyes, The
(‘abinet, keystone of the areh, in
size and in prerogative, is not al
together safe against invasion.
The great wholesome syf-tom of
party is said to be melting in},o
groups and coalitions. The grow h
of special interésts, each claiming
for'itgelf a representative Minis
ter in the Cabinet, has turned it
into a noun of muititude, indeed,
and a noun not w holly favorable
to that concentrated deliberation
which was possible when Pitt had
first” six, then seven colleagues,
Peel twelve, and Gladstone four
teen, To-day we are a score,
_“A body of profescional experts
is now united to a selected body
of ministers, to shupe conelusions
in the sphere of military defenge,
and therefore of expenditure; and
<uch concinsions. though nominal-
Iy advisory or for information
only, paturally carry a weight
that canno t but affect the judg
ment and responsibility of a Cab
inet.
“More than all this alteration in
machinery are signs of change in
national atmosphere. These, we
have good reason to hope, may be
only superficial and transient, for
nothing is more certain than that
in a survey of the modern world
national character is slowest of
all things to alter in its roots,
“Meanwhile, 78 digcover. a 3
shaken attitude toward law as
law; a decline in reverence for in
stitutions as institutions; a latter
day antnomianism. Kven power
ful lawyers yse language that
treats a statute as a cobweb, and
ccaled agreements by great in
dustrial organizatioms are some
times no better than ropes of
sand.
“Nor is the.change peculiar to
England. American citizens of a
reflective turn some time tell us
of the same thing even there, If
we remember, for instance, that
administration of law is the key
‘stone of all civilized government,
it is startling to hear Ameérican
statesmen, who have held posts of
supreme responsibility, passion
ately denouncing the administra
tion of criminal law as a diggrace
to their country, and declaring
the Epglish svstem of judges ap
pointed for life to be better than
their system of elected judges. Or
else, on the other hand, they de
mand appeal to a popular refer
endum against decisions of State
courts on constitutional issues,
and are for cashiering the judges
who made them-—in either case
ghatteéring the foundations of the
judicial fabric.”
Seeking a Hus
band
By CONSTANCE CLARKE.
é¢ HAVE the funniest feeiing that
I we have lost our way."”
“But we haven't,” said Dick,
reassuringly, as he peered anxiously into
the six cylinders of his new racer,
“Well, why tell me so?'" 1 grumbled.
“I think it would be quite thrilling %nd
romantic.”
“l can easily lose my way if vou in
sist, but it's simpler not to. As it is,
we're far enough from anywhere to
have it appear just as romantic as you
like.” And Dick's hand closed over
mine in a way that led me to bhelieve
that he was altogether right. .
“Well, if nothing's the matter, let's
go on, if gou really won't preiend we
are lost."”
“T am lost, Peggy, absolutely lost, I
was lost all the while I was in Kurope,
and I thought 1 could find my way,
but 1 couldn’t. The corals were the
only things that helped out atv all.”
I wondered what 1 ought to say. 1
thought Dick had finished thinking
things about me. Or-‘had 1 changed?
At any rate, he never tried to rule me
now ihe way Lie used to before 1 stopped
helping him exceed the speed limit. We
used to be such pals, but 1 hate to
have a man decide things for me with
out ever giving me a chance, and, to
tell the truth, Dick as a possible lover
suggested all sorts of undreamed of ex
citement,
“Have you seen much of Marian Col
lins lately?” 1 ventured, attempting to
change the subject. And then, as he
looked at me siowly, “Oh, Dick, please
start the engine,”
We were on a country road up some
where near Tuxedo, and we had stopped
passing machines ever since we had
struck it, so evidently we were quite
off the beaten track. And now that
the time had actually arrived 1 was
beginning to recl terribly shivery. At
any rate, 1 had only hag one preposal,
and Dick might—oOh, 1 wen't know, that
Kising .problem always frightens me,
and how was [ to help myself?
Dick’s lazy eves were anything but
lazy just at that moment.
“Peggy, perhaps I haven't a chance in
the world with you, perhaps 1 don't de
serve one, but ll'm desperate.”
“Why, Dick,” 1 said innocently, draw
ing as far away from him as | could in
my present surroundings, ‘we're friends,
why be desperate about anyvthing?"
“Don’t fence. 1 knew that Mou can
choose from a circle of men that swarm
arourd ycu all the time. Why | have
heard from every fellow at the club
about some doctor who has been chasing
after you.”
I smiled inwardly. Dick didn’t know
that that was all past and done with.
After all, it was a safe proposal com
pared to this one, and even if 1 didn't
know what to say, why-—Oh, if some one
wouid only come along.
“What would you do if I should kiss
you?"’ Le said suddenly.
“I)cp’t be absurd,” 1 said, more calmly
than I felt. “iet's try to overtake the
cthers cn the rcad. \We can't he so very
rar away from them.”
He wuas standing en the running
beard, and he leaned forward suddenly
“A bargain,” he whispered, “a kiss
and we'll start. See, I'll crank her and
we'll be off.”” And in a second the en
gine thrilled into motion.,
Then Dick came buck determinedly,
“Peggy.’” he whispered unsteadily,
and then he lifted me out into his arme.
‘There was no need of struggling. He
forced my head “back on his shoulder
and I closed my €eyes with a sob. I
didn’t want it to happen then. And
suddenly down the road came the roar of
a Klaxon and a glare ofr light, “and 1
flipped out of Dick's arms as Marian
Collins called.
“We thought we'd lost you ror good.
Any trouble?”' And then | was nestling
into my furs and we were flying along
the road again as if nothing had hap
pened. But I was simply bewildered at
myself. Do you know why? Because as
I stole a glance at Dick's face, I was
glad that it wasn't all over. What if [
should be going to fall in love with Dick?

Government estimators Rave set
up new record-figures for this year’s
cotton crop.
Whetlier or not the actual crop
falks “*long’® or ‘“short’ of these
figures depends largely upon the
kind of fertilizer used. Thorough
bred seed and fertilization with
Nitrate
grow the highest grade lint and
the largest number of bales.
Fertilizer which is ““100% fertil
