T IIK MOST striking characteristic of the Kiifjlisli "people is
M. sturdy common sense. It, therefore, comes as a surprise to
many people to learn that a labor goveriniielit is certain in ' the near
future. For as at present constituted the Labor Party is committed
to doctrines of a super-radical nature, with a strong leaning toward
the communistic vagaries of Lciiiiie. , ' '
Here however is where the common sense eouies in. It is a na
tional characteristic and therefore effects every clement in British
public life. For years British labor agitators have talked what in this
country would be considered downright anarchy and treason. But
let Labor once assume power and responsibility, and these destruc
tive theories will vanish like the morning dew before an August sun.
That is undoubtedly the chief reason why the prospect of a Labor
government does not throw the House of Lords at once into apo
plectic fits. That is also the reason the Liberal party refuses to join
with the Conservatives aguinst Labor.
The experience of Russia has clearly demonstrated that Marxian
principles when applied to modern conditions simply do not work.
Liberal leaders like Asipiith know that if Ramsay Mac-Donald is clc
vated to the 1'remiereliip he must drop his party's radical program, or
t?o down to a prompt and inglorious defeat. t
If lie is defeated, then the Liberals will have their chance, if he
drops radicalism, then he must call in the Liberals for assistance.
So no one in England is particularly alarmed at the prospect of a
Labor government. In addition to a general dependence upon tradi
tional common sense, there is in England a most admirable, and to an
American mind, astounding,, tolerance and liberality regarding new
political conceptions.
';
The latter characteristic was graphically portrayed in the recent
election when Premier Baldwin, was opposed by his own son. That
sort of thing "is done" in England. In this country, such a son would
be shown the door mid relegated to the political ash heap.
So no one need become excited over the present political situation
across the water. It is by such peaceful revolutions that Great Brit
ain has advanced from a limited monarchy to one of the most liberal
democratic governments of monarchial form in the world, always
without sacrificing interuaPstaljility or its saving grace of common
sense.

THE GREATEST THING IN THE

Patience
I suppose that patience is the great
est asset of the successful lover.1
Goodness knows, there Is enough op
portunity to exercise patience and de
velop and cultivate it in the romance
game. It is aston
ishing to what
lengths our loved
ones SvlU persu
ade us1 to exer
cise our gift of
patience. For U
is a gift an art
which ought to
receive more at
tention than it
does. You cannot
very well be in
love without be
ing patient, for
the scores of
minor disappointments and frustra-
MBaTBBMBOBVafW'
tiona and Inconveniences which occuir
every, day, provide, excellent dlatlllton
for the wiirui ana uiiw.riimj' Io
nian critter. The girl who Is late for
her appointments, the wife -who" hi
comes slack and slovenly pfter the
first flittlnB year of marriage.,-" the
husband who Is chronically Jatpfoj
dinner, these are the figures In the
little drama upon- whose- deflciences"
love must drape a garmet woven of
countless threads' of patience. ' Pa--tlence'
is more or less a mattter'"of
mental habit.' It is easy if you will
remember it In time. . Patience -te
dignified and natural, and It is always
genuine. You may pretend to love
but you cannot pretend to bo patient-.
It Is a self-evident virtue, and it is
about- the best insurance I know of
for the perpetuation of love.

Next to getting up early in the
morning there is nothing so nbhorent
to me aa the thought of cold water
on my warm skin In the early part of
the day. I'd never make a good hero
In a novel, for if I voluntarily took
any baths at all In tho morning, I'd
have 'em nice and warm or fire the
butler or valet or which every appur
tenance of a complete gentleman gets
the bath ready in the morning, or
better, I'd say: "Hawkins, you have
the bath ready?" and when Hawkins
replied "Yes sir, very good, sir." I'd
turn over in bed and say, "Very well,'
then. Hawkins, you may bathe In it."
Hut notwithstanding my own anti
pathy for cold baths, candor compels
nie to say that some, kind of early
morning punishment akin to a cold
bath is a healthful habit as well as
valuable discipline for young folks In
general, provided always that a pleas
ant glow of warmth and cheer comes
as a reactotn after the punishment.
Some folks Btay young ' a lot

humor them In their ardent advocacy
