Balfour No Longer a Leader in
British Parliament
Importance of His Position as National
and Parliamentary Guide Held
the Post of Premier for
a Decade
London It is difficult for an Amer
ican to understand and appreciate the
immense sensation produced in Ens
land by the retirement of A J Bal
four from the leadership of the oppo
sition party in the house of commons
and in the whole country The office
of opposition party leader carries with
it a recognition of authority that has
no exact counterpart in the United
States Mr Balfour in addition to
having been the chosen floor leader
combined with that responsible posi
tion one of greater responsibility
leadership of his part as a whole
both outside as well as in Parliament
a stewardship that came to him
through having Laid the office of prime
minister He had been the titular
head of his party for 20 years in cfiica
and out of iflice
Additional rrestige was conferred
upon 2Ir LIfours position as iarty
and floor loader by the unquectioned
certainty that should his political fol
lowing regain ascendancy he would
be the most powerful personage in
the British empire possessing in that
domain a combination of the author
ity possessed m the United States by
the president the cabinet the speak
er of the house of representatives the
majority leader on the floor and in
lesser degree the functions of the vlo
president as presiding officer of the
senate
This creat power augmented recent
ly by the right given the commons to
nullify the veto privilege of the lords
would not depend en the sanction of
any national convention it would
come to Mr Balfour as his unquestion
ed right solely by virtue of his office
as leader of the opposition just as ho
held the latter position because of his
previous service as chief executive
No question of a third term ever
arises In England to complicate the
course of political power Gladstone
was premier five times Lord Salis
bury held that high office three times
Balfour was majority leader in the
house of commons for ten consecutive
years a longer period of continuous
leadership of the house than that of
ajiy minister since William Pitt
The exercise of such great political
power continuously throughout tho
better part of a lifetime requires a
strong intellect and great knowledge
of men and affairs Mr Balfour was
undoubtedly brilliant and started with
the inestimable advantage of a thor
ouugh apprenticeship in foreign af
fairs under his famous uncle Lord
Salisbury
Mr Balfour Is politically the last of
the great Cecils that wonderful fam
ily which has always taken a promi
nent place in the forefront of English
political life from the time of Bur
leigh Queen Elizabeths great minis
ter consistently and continuously until
the present day They belonged to
the self constituted and practically un
questioned ruling C2ste of the nation
Their energies were not expended for
the gratification of material desire3
they threw themselves willingly and
into the service of
their country partly because of their
love of power but mainly from a
high minded sense of duty as they saw
it But their sway is over benevo
lent as it may have been in many
ways Radicalism and democracy have
invaded the sanctum sanctorum of
their dominance the house of lords is
no longer the invulnerable stronghold
of their class The leadership of the
Unionist party in the commons has
been given to a Scotch manufacturer
born in Canada Eonar Law
Use a Skull for Football
Cleveland O Small boys played
football with the crumbling skull from
a human skeleton found under the
sand in a lot on St Clair avenue
while rumor spread through the neigh
borhood that the find had disclosed a
long hidden murder Judge Thomas
K Dissette living across the street
stilled the rumor by explaining that
65 years ago the lot was a township
burying ground
