parties.
It may not be out of place to note that
the two parties, liberal and conaervatlve,
have no such compact organisation as
Americans are familiar with In the repub-
llcan and democratic parties. There Is no
....o..u. uujBiuwiiion naving any aumoniy
over the party at all. The sole party
authority lies with the voters of each con
stituency. For purposes of convenience
these small associations, represented by
central committees, delegate certain powers
to the national organization.
In the liberal party the central body Is
called the National Liberal Federation. It borough or division which will accept him),

The National Union of Conservative and
Constitutional associations Is the head
quarters of the conservative party. It
maintains a publishing house and a polit
ical library, Just across the street from
the House of Lords. This Institution en
joys the patronage of the highest clasuea
Of the British public and its publishing
house Is operated on a self-supporting
basis.
WhUe the election battle is waged be
tween the liberal and conservative forces,
it must not be understood that these two
parties meet each other In clearlv allrned
forces as do the republicans and democrats
In tho United States. The liberals have
the largest party organisation, but n the
last Parliament their 37 members were
allied with eighty-three Irish nationalists
and fifty-four labor party men.
The conservatives find the greater num-
ber of their 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 their friends as unionists. By the radi
cals all conservatives of every type are
called toiies. The liberal unionists are the
political heirs of those liberals who seceded
from their party when Mr. Gladstone made
hnma ruin ImIbiiiI nawfu rnk..
home rule for Ireland a party Issue. They
Insisted upon keeping the name liberal and
upon declaring their preference for the
maintenance of the United Kingdom. , Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain has been the ohlef
liberal unionist and from his sick bed he
has directed the conservative fight in this
campaign. 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 Lloyd-George
socialistic tendencies.
In this campaign the conservatives and
unionists were absolutely amalgamated, aa
they have been for several years. Tha
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 lib
erals supported the labor candidate, and
so on.
There were ft great many Independent
candidates of various types, and many
trades union candidates Independent of the
labor party. Of the 670 constituencies, fifty-
four went Into the elections with three-
cornered races. In seventeen constituencies
the tory candidate was unopposed, in one
the liberal was the only candidate and In
Ireland over forty nationalists bad no
opposition.
It strikes an American as amazing that-
some of these unopposed races are the re-
suit of courtesy. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain
Is ill, and therefore, out of courtesy, the
liberals refused to nominate a man against

A model
for every figure
. , , v . snaoow ot me
Wherever there was a contest the speak
ing and canvassing went on almost con
tlnuoualy until the polling day. The candi
date for Parliament Is bound to see as
many voters as possible, and personally to
ask for their votes. This is called canvass
ing, and on such trips the candidate la
often accompanied by his wife, or sister,
or daughter. This takes up all the day.
John Burns of Battersea, In London, is
said to have canvassed personally almost
every vote in hia borouah. M.nv f h
candidates have quite wonderful canvassing
records. It is literally a houae-to-houae
canvass, and, strange as it seems to an
American, the candidate Is left entirely
free by hangers-on and "workers" while
he la engaged in this business.
As few of the candidates live In the con
stituencies which they represent (any Eng-
llshman may be a candidate' in any county
lhe speakings are conduoted along lines
peculiarly English. The announcoment of
a arking by one cf the big guiis, Mr.
Balfour or Mr. Lloyd-George, for instance,
wiU read: "Doors open at 7. 8Ir James
Johnson will take the chair at 8. Admis
sion by ticket." Everybody who wants to
go rushes wildly to the ofrice of the elec
tion agent In the constituency, who cor
responds to the American district chairman.
Everybody who calls Is given a ticket, re
gardless of the seating or standing capac
ity of the -hall.
W'hen tha day of the speaking arrives,
nd usullv only two or three days notice
,B sT'ven, the ticket holders begin to line
wp 4t o'o'k In the afternoon. If, for
lntanoe, the hall holds LB00 and 10,000
tickets have been Isued, It behooves one to
08 early on the ground. A eorps of polloe-
men keeps the crowd in check and lines up
tha ticket holders, two and two, for blocks
nd blocks. The doors are opened at T,
according to promise, and the first LtOO
got in. Then the polios olose the doors
and the other $.600 people do just what
they knew all the time 'they wotlld do
rush for "tho vans." '
i ne vans are huge motor vana ar-
ranged as7 speakers platforms and political
.... -
circulating libraries. A spellbinder holds
forth from one end, and a librarian dls-
trioutes leaflets and miniature posters
from the other end. At 'ote liberal meet
ing In London at which '.Lloyd-George was
the speaker there were no Jess than fifteen
of theae overflow meetlnga grouped about
as many vans In the neighborhood of the
hall where the chancellor was speaking.
The outdoor speakers, usually members
of Parliament and often peers, always be
gin by inviting the attention of ftie 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 tha
crowd. It Is ever., so muoh livelier and
more exciting than the same sort of thing
in America. In recent years American po
litical excitement reached its climax in the
MCK.iniey-Bi yan campaign or 1899. Leaving
out ot tn Question the great street parades
which were the feature of that contest
Th I899 American campaign was absolutely
tame compared with this English political
battle. It appears that all Englishmen
have political convictions or prejudices,
and that every one of them Insists upon
proclaiming his views from the stump to
the people or from the audience to the
speakers. Nobody is silent.

former statistician of - the Lehigh Valley
railroad-, concludes a lengthy monograph
for the United States bureau of ; eduoatlon,
on "Education for Efficiency In Railroad
Service," which Commissioner Elmer E.
Brown haa submitted to the secretary of
the Interior. In his letter of transmittal,
Commissioner Brown says the ' subject of
educational preparation for definite ooeu
patlons in Ufa, and. particularly; for the
several trades, is under serious considera
tion in the United States. The relation of
trade education to general education is one
of the Important aspects ot that .question.
This relation was summed up by President
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia Hinl
verslty In saying: "What science and prac
tical life alike need Is pot narrow, map, but
TTfoad men sharpened to the point."
"The advance made In the present de
cade in the subject of education for rail
road service Is vsry surprising to. those who
may not be Informed," says Mr. Eaton.
"Ideas of practical men on the subject are
now less Indefinite and oonfllotlng. The re
lation between education and efficiency in
railroad service Is coming to be generally
conceded. The large educational value of
the railroad service itself Is being turned
to systematic practical account, and the
value of educational agencies In preparing
for specific Industrial efficiency Is better
understood. .
Two Million Men.
"The railroad service In the United fltates
will , shortly reach a total jf 2,000.000 men.
It Is the largest and most highly organized
example of associate' effort In an epoch
cot rplcuous for Industrial and commerc'ol
concentration. Education in a broad sense
must always be a large factor. ;
"In the course of -railroad development
there was a first era, which was the era.
of railroad building. There was next an
era of co-ordination of the railroad service
and finance to the commercial and finan
cial conditions as a whole with which the
railroads were called upon to deal.
"Next came the era of Internal adjust,
ment on the physical and mechanical side
-pirfectlon of the machinery, rutting down
grades, -strengthening bridges, increasing
the train unit. And now has com the era
of sociological adjustment. The human
part of the mnchlne la quite as . vital as
the steel and wooden part in producing

of
efficiency' and so In increasing the Ir.ponic.
"The most practical and efficient railroad
manager today Is now squarely 'up against'
the problem which he is attacking in ohe
form or another, of education, of himself,
his staff, ttie individuals In the rank and
file, and the rank and file as a whole.
This is the last and highest and most
comprehensive stage of the function of ad
ministration. It implies, for Instance. An
eager, resourceful, self-respecting Individ
ualism throughout the "working force, on
ordlnated with a keenv appreciation of - the
social character of the work, which ex
prcrsts itself In a loyalty not to a person
or a local group, but to the income account
of the railroad nor yet to one Income,
account but to the aggregate of the Income
accounts 'of several years. These income
aocounts, showing steady, healthy growth
over several years, become at the same
time the terms of largest service to ths
community, the stockholder and the indi
vidual employe. -'
"A note of warning may at this time
seem to be premature, but certain tend
enolea are already foreshadowed which
should not go unchecked. When the rail
road manager Comes fully to realise how
his new. found tool of education enables
him to shape almost absolutely to his pur
poses the. working body, there may arise
the danger that railroad special Nation 7 In
education be carried too far.
"If the railroads, when they come very
generally; to inatruct their employes, turn
their back upon the professional teacher,
severely divorcing, their work In subject
matter-and in method form and at the
same time substituting It for the work of
the regular established educational agencies
of the grammar' school and high school
grades, the result can only be what the
psychologist calls 'arrested development'
for the learner. t
"Railroads as a whole, thrtjugh a rep,
resentatlve body such as the American
Railway association, should In a compre
hensive way take up the matter of the
education of railroad employes. AS they
now have committees devoted to standards
of construction, maintenance and operating
practice, they should also have a standing
committee of a character to command con
fidence, Who should sedulously foster ' h
closer relation between the railroad and
educational agencies."
Mr. Eaton draws these conclusions:

"Railroad financial managements should

"Railroads should extend the prlnclplet
of definite apprenticeship to every depart

for two or more grades of apprentices In
order to take account of differences In
capacity and work done elsewhere, either
In properly accredited schools of by ex

;'In executing the policy of 'education

be a auperintendent of education reporlln

department should1' systematically 'recruit
the employes throughout the service and
certify, on request, to tjjelr records and
general efficiency In the early stages ot
promotion.
"Efficiency should be recognised by an
efficiency wage, .. stated distinctly apart
from the seniority wage.

outside course of Instruction or experi
ence' without forfeiting their tenure, and.
Id far as possible, the educational depart

"The educational opportunities of the
