ASQUITH LETTERS ;e Late Prime Minister Wrote Caustic Comment On Life and Politics Wedding Service Object of Scorn By Lee WHInon United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON (UP) A sensation has been caused In English literary and political circle by the publication of the letters of a late, former prime minister. In 1915 H. H. Asquith, later to be come Lord Oxford and Asquith, was 63 and premier of Great Britain. At this time the statesman met Mrs. Hilda Harrlseon, 27, and their friend ship grew and lasted until Asqulth's death. During that period Asquith wrote many letters to bis young friend. Some of them appear In a recently published volume, In which the re cipient's name does not appear. Indignation Aroused Uncomplimentary references to per sonages still living are made In some of the letters, and it is this that has aroused considerable Indignation over their publication. Perhaps the most flagrant example of this la where the writer, referring ' to David Lloyd George, who succeed ed him In the wartime premiership, ays: "L. G. says that he had nothing to do with It, and for once I believe that he Is telling the truth." Mrs. Harrlsson ta a talented por trait painter, and the widow of a major In the artillery who was killed while (he letters were being written. When her husband was killed, As quith wrote: "Dearest, I have Just hoard your terrible news. It must have happened while I was out there. That you of til women should be called upon to face this desolation of your life Is to me all but unthinkable. My heart bleeds for you, and I would give more than I can tell to be able to put a healing finger on your brow. Ever your loving and devoted, H. H. A." Son and Daughter Heirs Out of the statesman's compara tively meager estate of about (45,000 the sum of (13,600 was left to edu cate Mrs. Harrlsson's son and daugh ter. Asquith had some caustic com mentaries to make in connection with life and politics. Of women voters, he said: "They are for the moot part hopelessly Ignorant of poli tics, credulous to the last degree, and flickering with gusts of sentiment like a candle In the'wlnd." Of the labor party he wrote: "They know as much about parlia mentary politics as a hen does about , utrology;" and In describing a fash ionable wedding, he wrote: "As X followed once more the fa miliar service, I felt all the repulsion, and more, that you described a couple of weeks ago . . . the servile, Insincere formulae except In the mouths of people not yet grown up: with a dreary, platitudinous elocfttlon by a minor bishop; it filled me with something like nausea." SCHOOL DEBATERS Ralph Bailey", debate team from the Medford high school entertained the Active club with an intelligent dlacuaalon of radio advertising last Bight at the regular club meeting at the Hotel Medford. Dolph Janea and Oleo Hicks, malting up the affirma tive team, met Irene Stubblefleld and Mildred Drury, negatives, on the question, "Resolved, that the United States should adopt the essential fea tures of the. British system of radio control and operation." A. O. Soderberg, new executive of Crater Lake council Boy Scouts, out lined the progress socompllshed In scouting during the past 34 years. He complimented the Actlvlans upon the Berrydale troop No. 18, which the club la sponsoring. Mr. Soderberg and Dick laaacs were bosh guests of the club at dinner. IS EPILEPSY INHERITED?
