After all, every party, like every nation, has the leader
it deserves. It is the duty of the Unionist Party to reform Mr. Lloyd George—an interesting and exciting if a formidable task. We believe, however, that it can be accomplished, for, in truth, Mr. Lloyd George has come much nearer to Unionism than the Unionists have come to Lloyd Georgeism. A judicious firmness is all that is required. If that firmness is not exercised, the Unionists will have failed in their duty, and nothing can prevent the destruction of the party, and alas ! with it what ought to be, and may be, the best assurance of the country against bad government and revolutionary chaos. Mr. Lloyd George is like many excellent horses—he wants to be well ridden, and probably knows it himself as well as does the type of horse of which we aro thinking. If he is ridden timidly or badly, no really good work can be got out of him.
