One has to see the Chancellor of the Ex chequer at different periods of a parliamentary sitting to get a fair picture of him. The Mr. Asquith seated with the bored face and lazy attitude on the Treasury beach is not the Mr. Asquith who makes a fighting speech. List lessness drops from him like a mantle as ba rises to his feet and takes his place in front of the famous despatch-box to expound to the House a new and highly contentious piece of legislation. His pale face is slightly flashed, his eyes are half-veiled; unconsciously his shoulders go back a little, and his head adopts an aggressivò poise. He is a picture of cold ardour. In a deep, sonorous voice he opens with some well-balanced generalitles." In three | minutes he has reached the heart of his sub Ject, holding the Housi sifont with his lucid and direct explanations Hore is where he excels. It is hard to believe when listening fo Mr. Asquith that fegislative proposals can be complex or intricate. He has the power of making a child understand an Act of Parlin NROAD ment. He unfolds a Budget like a fairy tale, and makes it seem almost as simple. His par-t Jiamentary illustrations resemble Phil May's sketches ; you are amazed at the effect ha geit..
