THE WINGUAM TIMES, „MAT 7, 1908.
BRITAIN'S NEW PREMIER
ABILITY AND FORCE UNITED IN
RIGHT HON. H. H. ASQUiTH.
One of the Strongest Men of the Lib -
oral Party -Not Keen on Home Rule
--Powerful Debater and Lucid Ex-
pounder --often Wears Mask of In-
difference --Always Ready for Any
Emergencies,
As everybody anticipated, the King
has appointed Herbert Henry Asquith
Premier of England, and now the
highest ambition of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer is gratified. The ap-
pointment was inevitable, and has
paused no excitement among the Lib-
erals, for Mr. Asquith never held their
Iove as Sir Henry Campbell -Banner-
man did. The Irish Nationalists are
not particularly elated at the change,
for Mr. Asquith's sympathy with their
aspirations for home rule was never
keen, and should he introduce into
the House of Commons a' home rule
bill it is almost sure to fall far short
of the demands of patriotic Irishmen.
Ever since the illness of the Premier
Mr. Asquith carried a full half of the
burden of the Government's conten-
tious legislative proposals, managed
the Exchequer of the country, and led
a Parliamentary host, comprising
practically every kind of politician,
om Imperialists to Little England-
ers, from serious students of politics
to cranks and fadists who make up
aggressive little parties of their own.
The mere thought of his enormous
task would make the ordinary man
shrink, but Mr. Asquith was all the
time filled with secret exhilarations,
for he knew that was the great oppor-
tunity of his life.
Mr. Asquith's incessant mental tur.
moil and his heavy burden of Empire
is never shown in his face when at
ten minutes past three each afternoon
he strolls into the House of Commons
to answer any questions which may
be put down to him as Chancellor ot
the Exchequer, or as acting Prime.
Minister. Ne feverish haste marks
his footsteps, he bears no sign of the
nerve -trying day of work he has al-
ready completed in his Department-.
in his private room and in the Cab-
inet chamber. He picks his way over
the outstretched feet of Ministers on
the front bench with the slow precis-
ion of an idler. His bands are in his
trousers' pockets, hi:r face is placid,
slightly bored, and his whole attitude
that of the leisurely saunterer only
faintly interested in the scene which
his entry into the chamber has open-
ed up for him. He drops with an
indifferent air into the middle of the
long line of Ministers on the front
bench, and casually picks up the or-
der paper of the day with the manner
of a man who thinks he may as well
see what is going on though it really
does not interest him very much.
It is said that Mr. Asquith, lacking
personal magnetism, is not a leader of
men, and yet in these later days the
advent of the ,cold -faced Chancellor of
the Exchequer acts in the way of a
tonic on the crowded lines of his sup-
porters, even on a good many of those
who are not entirely, satisfied as to
his orthodoxy. They know that Mr.
Asquith, with all his seeming placid-
ity, can within thirty seconds turn
himself into a dragon of furious ac-
tion. They know that for all his in-
difference he will spring to battle with
smashing blows the instant there is
an opening. His icy preparedness for
emergencies stirs the latent admiration
of even the Little Englanders.
Mr. Asquith is not an imposing fig-
ure except in action. His clothes nev-
er seem to fit him thoroughly -his
trousers always appear rather baggy,
his inevitable morning coat seems too
small and his waistcoat gives one the
impression of being worn because it
is comfortable. To a stranger his
clothes are in keeping with the man
as he leans back indifferently on the
front bench. They indicate him as a
member not anxious to cut a distin-
guished figure, as one who is quite
content to be among the rank and file
of a large Parliamentary party. But
that impression is dissipated when
Mr. Asquith rises to his feet. Then
the personality of the man shines
forth,. and the most casual eye can
see what makes him a power in the
House of Commons. From his first
dozen words it is apparent that,
though one may dislike him. it will
be impossible to ignore him. His man-
ner varies with the 'occasion. It is
generally ruthless. He will brush
political Mends aside with the same
rough verbal gesture that he uses to
foes. He does not go out of his way
to be conciliatory.
One has to see the Chancellor of the
Exchequer at different periods of a
Parliamentary sitting to get a fair.
'picture of him. The Mr. Asquith seat-
ed with bored face and lazy attitude
on, the Treasury bench is not the Mr.
Asquith who makes a fighting speech.
Listlessness drops from him like a
mantle as he vises to his feet and
takes hie place in front of the famous
dispatch box. to expound to the House
a piece of difficult and contentious
legislation. He is a picture of cold
ardor. In a deep, sonorous voice he
opens with borne well-balanced gen-
eralities. In three minutes he has
reached the heart of his subject, hold-
ing the House silent with hie lucid
and direct e*�xpplanations. Here is
where be exoele. It is hard to be-
lieve when listening to Mr, Asquith
that legislative proposals can be com-
plex or intricate. He has the power
of Making a child understand an act
of Parliament: He unfolds a budget
like a fairy tale, and makes it seem

vicar, Rev. R. F. Ashley Spencer, of
Tyler's Green, is just returning to
Liverpool.
Mr. Spencer Ianded at Madeira on
Feb. 21 last for a month's rest and
change. On Feb. 26 he went on board
the liner Araguaya to see a friend.
Engrossed in conversation, he paid no
hoed to warning cries and the raising
of the anchor, and was suddenly
alarmed by the throbbing of the
screw. He rushed to the vessel's side
to find that she was already moving
and that it was impossible to get
ashore,
Vainly protesting, and fearing that
the worst constructions might be plac-
ed upon his disappearance, he was
borne to Pernambuco, in Brazil, with-
out being able to send any message
to his friends or relatives. The voy-
age lasted eight days, officers and
passengers doing their best to solace
him and to provide him with clothes,
of which he was, of course, in abso-
lute need. Reaching Pernambuco, he
instantly cabled home, reporting his
misadventure.
He found that a steamer, the
Thames, sailed for Madeira very
shortly from Bahia, and went to that
place, 400 miles from Pernambuco, by
sea. At Bahia he found tinre to go
ashore, and had precisely two hours
in which to explore the continent of
South America before the Thames
sailed. He returned in that vessel
to Lisbon, where he arrived on Mareir
18, and awaited the arrivnl of the
steamer Clement, bringing his baggage
from Madeira. •

THE CAMPAIGN STRENUOUS.
The women of London, God bless 'em,
Are after the ballot red hot.
Not even the cops can suppress them
Or foil for a moment their plot.
They rise up in meeting° and clamor
For what they consider their right.
The speaker his gavel may hammer,
But that doesn't put them to flight.
They come to the commons insisting
Where women before never spoke,
Quite useless the men find resisting
Or treating the case as a joke.
They cheerfully hike to the prison,
Nor will they for tines pay a cent,
To show the new girl has arisen
And will not bo bossed by a gent.
They don't want to alt bon election
And let their old nen do It all.
They want to help make the selection
And shout when the ministers fall.
They want to enfranchise the ladles
If ever they wanted a thing;
If not, then blue blazes and hades
Will romp for a time in the ring.
They seem to be tired of asking
And not getting any reply.
And so, their true nature unmasking,
They throw things where once they were
shy.
Not as a polite, petted kitten
This boon from their lords would they
wrest.
They're going right after the Briton
With tactics he understands best.
Getting Ready.
