Positive Knowledge, This positive knowledge in Mr. Snowden is apt to be disconcerting. But what else would you expect? He comes of the Yorkshire work- ing middle class and of pure Dis- senting stock. He was crippled at the age, of twenty-two by a bicy-: cling accident, and lay on his back for years, reading and thinking. It la certain that if there had been no prolonged suffering of mind and body there would have been no Philip Snowden as we have him to- day. No, the remarkable thing] about Mr. Snowden is not that he has a shadeless mind, but that his Pipe Organ Solo personality should be so sharply divided into compartments, all, as Chorus-
