The right little, tight little, islandg are 8o snall that they can be covered with spelibinders to | an extent impossible in the United States, and every advantage of the natural oppor- tunjties is taken. Premier Asquith and Mr. Lioyd-George for the liberals and Mr. Balfout and Lord Lansdowne for the conservatives are the chief spelibinders, and each of them spoke nearly every night during the campaign. Every one of the 670 parliamentary dis- riots had several meetings & week during he campalgn and in many of them a dozen meetings were held every mnight. Four hundred peers were on the stump, more than 600 members of Parllament, 100 wo- men, and not less than 2,00 ordinary spoakers. This doed not take into mocount the volunteers, but only those spelibinders who spoke under the direction of the na- tional headquarters of the two principal parties. It may not be out of place to note that the two parties, lberal and conservative, have ne such compact organization as Americans are familiar with in the repub- lican and democratic parties. There is no national vrganization having any authority over the party at all. The wole party authority lies with the voters of each con- stituency. For purposes of convenience these small assoclations, represented by central committees, delegate certain powers to the natlonal organization. | In the liberal party the central body is called the National Liberal Federation. It is & permancnt institution, maintaining a | publishing house and keeping up a party campaign of education in season and out, without regard to the campaign. When the campaign comes on this publishing house sells enough literature at a profit to make expenses for the next few years Imagine such a condition in the United States, The National Union of Conservative and Constitutional assoclations is the head- yubiters of the conservative party. It maintains a publishing house and a polit- fcal library, just acroms the street from the House of Lords. This institution on- joys the patronage of the liighest classes of the British public, and its publishing house 1s operated on a self-supporting basis. While the election battle is waged be- [tween the liberal and conservative forces, it must not be urderstood that these two parties mect each other in clearly aligned |torces as do the republicans and democrats {In the United States. -The liberals have the largest party organization, but in the last Parliament their 37 members were allled with eighty-three Irish nationalists and fifty-four labor party men. The conservatives find the greater num- ber of thelr party leaders In the ranks of another party, the liberal unionists, which has a national federation of its own. Mr. Balfour and his chief supporters are known by thelr friends as unfonists. By the radi- cals all conservatives of every type are called tories, The liberal unionists are the political heirs of those liberals who seceded from their party when Mr. Gladstone made home rule for Ireland a party issue. They insisted upon keeping the name Iiberal and upon declaring their preference for the maintenance of the United Kingdom. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain has been the ohiet liberal unfonist and from his sick bed he has directed the conservative fight in this {campalgn. He has compelled an unwilling party to adopt his scheme of tariff reform |because that party had to have some Issue with which to combat the Lioyd-George soclalistic tendencies. In this campalgn the conservatives and unionists were absolutely amalgamated, as they have heen for several, years. The liberals, the nationalists and the labor party made separate campaigns, but were careful |not to oppose each other. In a constituency | where the laborites were stronger, the libs erals supported the labor candidate, and 50 on. There were o great many independent candidates of varlous types, and many trades union candidates Independent of the labor party. Of the 670 constituencles, fifty- |four went into the elections with three- |cornered races. In seventeen gonstituencles the tory candidate was ungpposed, in one the liberal was the only candidate and in |Ireland over fbrty nationallsts had no opposition, some of thése unopposed races are the re- sult of courtesy. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain is {1, and therefore, out of courtesy, the liberals refused to nominate a man against BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, It strikes an American as amagzing that AR Some Things You Want to Know The English Elections—The British Spellbinder. him. The speaker of the House of Com- mons, James Wfillam Lowther, 1s & oon- servative. He has presided over a liberal Parllament for four years, and because he is spoaker the liberals did not place a candidate against him. Imagine the demo- crats refusing to oppose Mr. Joseph Cannon becauss of courtesy! But of course the British speaker has no political power, No liberal candidate opposed Mr. Arthur James Balfour In the oity of London for the quite sufficlent reason that no one could be found to lead the forlorn hope. The city of London, which is a small seo- tion of London, containing not more than 50,000 population, the finanélal and banking center, Is almost solidly conservative, and no lberal cafdidate would have'the ghost of & show at the polis in the shadow of the Bank of England. v Wherever there was a contest the speak- Ing and canvassing went on almost con- tinuously until the polling day. The candi- date for Parllament 1s bound to see as many voters as possible, and personally to ask for thelr votes. This is called canvass- ing, and onsuch trips the candldate ls often ascompanied by his wife, or sister, or daughter. This takes up all the da; John Burns of Battersea, In London, Is sald to have canvassed personally almost every votee In his borough. Many of the candidates have quite wonderful canvassing It 1s literally a house-to-houl and, strange as it seems to an American, the ocandidate 1a left entirely free by hangers-on and “workers” while he is engaged In this business. As few of the candidates live in the eon- stituencies which they represent (any Eng- lishman may be a candidate in any county, borough or division which will accept him), this canvaesing is a necessary part of the business of getting acquainted. There 1s lit- tle or no rivalry for the party nominations, and old members are never disturbed ex- cept for treachery to the party. The longer & man has been in Parliaiment the better his constituents llke it—a fact which has a lesson in it for Americans. The speakings are conduoted along lnes pecullarly English. The announcement of a speaking by one of the blg guiis, Mr. Baifour or Mr. Lloyd-George, for instance, will read: “Doors open at 7. Sir James Johnson will take the chair at 8. Admis- slon by tieket.” Everybody who wants to &0 rushes wildly to the office of the elec- tion agent In the constituency, who cor- respohds to the American dlstriot chalrman. Bverybody who calls is given a ticket, re- gardless of the seating or standing capac- ity of the -hall. When the day of the speaking arrives, and usually only two or three days notice is given, the ticket holders begin to line up at 4 o'clock In the afterncon. If, for instance, the hall holds 1500 and 10,000 tickets have been isued, it behooves one to be carly on the gronnd. A corps of police- men keeps the crowd In check and lines up the ticket holders, two and two, for blocks and blocks. The doors are opened at 17, according to promise, and the fust 1,800 got in. Then the police ciose the doors and the other 8,500 peopie do just what they knew all the time they would do— rush for “the vans.” ‘The vans'" are huge motor vans ar- ranged as’speakers platforms and political circulating libraries. A spelibinder holds forth from one end, and a librarian A tributes leaflets and minlature posters from the other end. At one liberal meet- ng In London at which Lloyd-George was the speaker there were no less than fifteen of these overflow meetings grouped about as many vans in the nelghborhood of the hall where the chancellor was speaking. The outdoor speakers, usually members of Parllament and often peers, always be- gin by inviting the attention of fhe heck- lers and by promising to answer any ques- tions which may be asked by any one in the audience. “The Voice” is not at all backward, and the van speakers are us- ually engaged in a joint debate with the crowd. It is ever so mueh livelier and more exciting than the same sort of thing in America. In recent years American po- litical excitement reached its climax in the McKinley-Bryan campalgn of 1596 Léaving out of the question the great street parades which were the feature of that contest. The 1806 American campalgn was absolutely tame compared with this English political battle. It appears that ail Englishmen have political convictions or prejudic and that every one of them insists upon proclaiming his views from the stump to the people or from the audlence to the speakers. Nobody 1s silent. TOMORROW — THE ENGLISE BLEC- TIONS. VI—The Mouse of Lords.

TRAINING RAILROAD MEN Time Approaching When Drudgery Will Be Taken Away. MONOGRAPH BY J. S. EATON Two Million Men Arve Employed in the United States and Work Demands the Highest Efficlency. WASHINGTON, Jan. %—"The time will come when rafiroad employ for every nan in the service will not mean drudgery, nor sinecure, nor accidental opportunity, but an enlightened, stimulating, highly ef- ficlent service of highest earning power, least uncertainty from accidental causes, largest freedom for individual initiative, entire self-respect ahd thoroughly dedo- cratie spirit, ¥ With this prediction J, Bhirley Eaten, former statisticlan of the Lehigh Valley raliroad; eoncludes a lengthy monograph for the United States bureau of; education, on “Education for BEfficlency in Rallroad Service,” which Corhniissfoner Eimer E. Brown has submitted to the sétretary of the Interfor. In his letter of transmittal, Commissioner Brown says the subject of educational preparation for definite ocous pations in life, and particularly for the several trades, is under serious gonsidera- tion In the United States. The relation of trade education to general education is one of the important aspects of that question. This relation was summed up by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia \ni- versity In saying: ‘“What science and praec- tical life allke need is pot narrow men, but Wroad men sharpened to the point.” “The advance made In the present de- cade in the subject of education for rail- road service Is very surprising to.those who may not bq informed,” says Mr, Baton. “Ideas of practical men on the subject are now less indefinite and conflioting, The re- lation between education and efficiency in raflroad service ls coming to bé generally conceded. The large educational value of the rallroad service itself is being turned to systematic practical account, and the value of educational agencies in preparing for specific industrial' efficlency is better understood. ¢ Two Million M *“The railroad service in the United States will shortly reach a total of 2,000.000 men. It is the largest and most highly organized example of assoclate’ effort in an epoch cot rpicuous for industrial and commerc'al concentration, Education in a broad sense must always be a large factor. “In the course of .raliroad development there war & first €va, which was the ern of rallroad building. There was next an era of co-ordination of the rallroad service and finance to the commercial and finan- clal conditions as a whole with which the rallroads were called upon to deal. “Next came the era of internal sdjust. ment on the physical &hd meechanical side —perfection of the mackinery, cutting down grades, -strengthening bridges the train unit.
