rompetition or, rather, I do not wonder, 1 know all too well-for he is Prime Minister and I am-what I am:
it has been my lot to watch, the right hon. gentleman at close quarters during most of the years that bare followed since the occasion of the Ipswich speeches. I have no intention of writing a biographical sketch or tabulating the incidents in his career, but will rather jot down few of the results of this study of a character. nd first of all, let me say with regard to the most commas of all the criticisms levelled at him--his alleged coldness or frigidity of dis position- ara by no means sure that this is a correct view of his character. It is made by the same sort of people as those who used to say that Thackeray was a bitter cynic." It is the result of a superficial glance at the man, and there is much is qacuse such a conclusion being arrived at by those who are content with exploring only the surface...
AN ABRUPT CONCLUSION. The fact is Mr. Asquith does not suffer fools' gladly and no man can go far sa politics without being confronted by men of that under "sirable type. He bay, or seems to have, an intellectual contempt for many of his opponens, and I am far from saying that he is wrong. course, his attitude to a really able opponent is very different, but some of his most noisy op ponents are not able at all. Let me give an example of his method. Quite recently a mem ber asked if he was to draw.certain conclusions from an answer which the right hon. gentleman had given," Draw what conclusions you like," remarked Mr. Asquith, not troubling even to move his bead from the back of the Treasury Bench. Such a retort might in soma circum. stances have been merely rude-but every thing depends on the, circumstances, The question had been put by Mr. Stanley Wilson. in a hectoring and bullying tone, and it had bees put not to obtain information, but in the hope of making a bit. The answer was, both in substance and in style, admirably suited to the occasion.
Next to his alleged frigidity the quality generally mentioned in connection with Mr. Asquith's mental outfit is his brilliance, and here the critics have more reason for what they attribute to bim. For Mr. Asquith's career has been marked by brilliance all through as a school-bay, at an ornament of Balliol, and as a statesman. Some think that brilliant men BIC those who are content to trust to their mental endowments and giks, leaving hard work and plodding to others. This is not only not cor Frect in regard to Mr. Asquith, but is the very reverse of the truth. He is a veritable monster for work. During the last few weeks, when he has had to best an exceptional burden of responsibility, and has been confronted by almost andmerable duties, he bar astonished- even his colleagues who thought they knew him thoroughly, by his power of concentrated and continuous work. Nor is there anylbing He is quick, slip-shod in his methods. thorough, and accurate, and is never flustered or excited, but pegs away like a tireless intel lectual machine
HEAD AND HEART.
Probably he was the only man in the king. dom who could have done what he did when Mr. Chamberlain started out on his career as "missionary of Empire," as he described him. sell. Mr. Asquith followed him round the country, subjecting topitilean cross-examination. his thetorical aliunions to Empire and his curious assortment of figures, used not in their arithmetical sense, but as illustrations. Mr. Asquith recognised that this was in the end a great business problem-and though his train. ing had been at the Bar, while bir opponent had been trained in large commercial under" takings, Mr. Asquith beat the man of business at his own game.,. It is impossible to over. estimate the value of the services which he

Moreover, during the last couple of years he has proved not only, a most, abis but also a perfectly loyal lieutenant to. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. And of late he has snormously increased his grip on the Houss of Commons. Men have come to see that the supposed coldness of disposition is part of a Parliamentary legend. He is not given to making emotional displays in public, and he could not play to the gallery if he would, Hut those who bave been brought into contact with him in private consultation all agree that he is by no means lacking in depth of feeling. No one has ever doubted the of his brain-and. those who know say that his heart is in the right place.
