Most Outstanding Figure. After all of the other three had been put aside in their countries, Lloyd ¢: orge became probably the most outstanding firure among all the men of the world who were engaged in pub- lic affairs.

With the coming on of the war Lloyd George convulsed the country by introducing drastic reforms in taxation which put new burdens on the wealthy classes and confiscated part of the unearned increment of land. In 1916, when England was threat- ened with sirikes at a time when Germany was scoring heavy suc- cesses on the western front, Lloyd George left the chaucellorship of exchequer to ome minister of mu nitions and, ment than an offce tab and his future dusirial fore it In priva‘e secretary and ., staked his reputation on mobilizing the in- e nation be ndous task he suc- when Kitchener of was [0st at sea, the Welsh- man took his place as secretary of state for war.

He took the position that whatever freedom that Ireland received she would have fo remain in the empire, and in this. too, he had his way. Heart for Oppressed. In the appraisal of admirers Lloyd George was frequently credited with having “always given to the poor and oppressed the first place in his heart. It was frequently said of him that no statesman ever changed his mind on important questions as many times. By some he was regarded as an op- portunist, who switched his position Wwith great speed and dexterity when- ever the band wagon seemed to turn in an unexpected direction. Nobody could ever tell what he was golng to_do_next. Each time of the many that his acts, | his purposes and his government were under flre the stanch liitle Welsa- man, not content with merely defend ing his position, hurled his stinging oratory in a flerce counter attack upon his critlcs.

Now both sides are doing nicely, thank you. But to stick to the plain unvar- nished truth, or the “low down,” as the legion itsclf would call it, the folks of New Or'eans and the horde of former service men here for the annual reunfon, now in full swing. were a bit stand-offish before the curtain went up You sce the-leglon boys had been surfeited with the “Paris of Amer- the “City that care forgot”: the ity where romance and adventure still may be found.” and all the pet phrases of the press agents of the “playground of the south.” Find Fears Groundless.

CAVPAIGN Miller Defends Use of State Police as Vital to Pre- serve Order. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. Staff Correspoudent of The Star. NEW YORK, October 19.—The op- posing candidates for governor this state, having apparently discov- ered that the public is tiring of each man’s boasting of his own guberna- torial record and berating of his op- ponents are now subjects of discussion. In this change }cnived the flowers for being the most |of front Candidate Smith, the demo- crat, made an opening for his adver- | sary which Gov. Miller promptly fol- lowed up. In his assault Mr. Smith played to what he thought was the sentiment of the populace. Gov. Mil- ler took the side which has been shown to be that of sound public opinion, it not, indeed, that of the ma- Jority. Mr. Smith appears to have over- looked the lessons of experience, especially In the cases which made Calvin Coolidge Vice President of the United States, and before that made a certain mayor of Seattle a national figure. Smith Taunts Miller. Candidate Smith taunted candldate Miller for his course as governor in sending the state constabulary to preserve order in industrial strikes in the state, saying, “I would have settled the strike; Gov. Miller called the police.” Gov. Miller promptly re- plied that he did call the police and added emphatically that he will con- tinue to use the constabulary force {of the state whenever local authorities call upon him as they find disorderly conditions beyond their control. In the town of Hornell last night, ! which was the scene of intervention of the state constabulary, in one fn- stance, Gov. Miller boldly defended his action. This is what he said: “Now, Mr. Smith's suggestion that I called out the police, if it means any- thing at all, is a covert appeal to those’ who do not want law and order preserved. who do not want the lives anad property of the citizens of the state protected. I conceive it to be highest duty of the state, the highest duty of the governor of the state to aintain law and order and to pre- serve the lives and property of the citizens, and whenever either is threatened I propose to use all of the power of the state to protect the liberty, the lives and the property of its citizens. Real Enemies of Labor. “Now the fact is that those who In industrial disputes incite acts of lawlessness are the real enemies of labor. Probably no event, in recent times at least, has done more harm to the cause of labor, has done more to retard the progress of labor's cause than the Herrin massacre.
