By virtue of Ills Brent ollice he has n place ill the coun- Hnd It in believed that he will even tually become prime minister. Elected to parliament ill 1SS5 at the age of twenty three, lie has since been reiriiliirly returned by the same con stltuem y lierwirk -on -Tweed. From 1SH2 to 1NSI5 be was tinder secretary for foreign iitTtilrs, inul since tii05 he linn been foreign Hecret.-iry. In taking thlM place he broke a tradition, for be the first foreign weretary to bold thut otllee in tlie house of commons. The Monitor has received two tickets from the prenn representative of the Itanium tfc Hailey hhow; we have no possible objection to receiving the tickets but the liberal man asks for the publication of a long reading notice and requeits n copy of the paper containing the article that he may insert it in Ids "scrap book." We are thinking what a comfort and pleasure this scrap book will be to him when his "golden hair has turned to silvery gray" and old age has rendered him unfit for the active duties of life. Wn (m look forward several years hence and ste him . . . The parliamentary arrangement Is at ruing in tne oiu arm cnair ana wnen grand cniuiren come, ways to secure n representative of the great oillces in each house of parlia ment and while it wih proper for him to be under .secretary for forein af fair to I,oi'd Itoscliery in the house of lord, it wan without precedent to remain a commoner and he foreign sec retary. He should have moved over to the bouse of lords, hut be declined and was allowed lo have bis own way. The reason the ollice of forelcu sec retary has always heretofore been held by a peer is this that so delicate and secret are his undertakings that a fire of questioning; -from M. P.'g would not merely be inconvenient, but perhaps oMltively dangerous. Every cabinet minister may be asUed any question mid upou helm; fclvcn notice must an swer it. There lies the thinner of the foreign secretary heinn In the bouse of commons. Sir ICdwaril Grey bns never yet been caught off his gunrd. He answers questions lu bis own skillful way. He says what be is willing to say and no more. If he is further questioned he may ndl a "No, sir," but most probably he will Just rise uud MHy, "I have nothing further to add," and sit dowu.

Kansas City Star: The war of 1911 will go into histcry as the greatest brainstorm since near civilization began. New York Sun: History will lay heavy blame on Aus tria for the war.
