PREMIER READY TO
STEP DOWN AT
ANY OLD TIME
LONDON, May 3—England probab
ly never had a prime minister who ap_
pealed so universally to the instincts
of humanity or who so nearly met the
popular conception of “a man of the
people” as Ramsay MacDonald. Rear
ed in humblest circumstances, the man
who now directs the destinies of a
great empire, has insisted even in his
present exalted position, on following
rigidly the simples life anti excluding
all social or official ostentation.
American correspondents who were
privileged to have an hour’s talk with
the premier recently, found him de
lightfully, democratic, affable, and out
spoken.
Sitting at a small flat top desk in
the foreign office, the premier, with
his finely shaped head, strongly delin
eated face, kindly eyes and great
wealth of hair, presented a picture re.
miniscent of those of Lincoln in the
civil war days. He was attired in the
conventional home-spun sack suit, the
trousers of which did not match the
coat, woolen socks, knitted by his
daughter ,and spacious well-worn tan
shoes.
“It seems to me all wrong,” the
premier drawled in his broadest Scot
tongue, “for a man to expect a large
salary and other emoluments and priv
ileges upon entering public office.
“I would be perfectly happy to rc
sume my former private life on an in
come of 400 or 500 pour/; a year. My
idea of a man who serves his country
,vell ,is one who leaves office poorer
:han when he entered it.
“It is a great mistake to make pub
ic service an avenue for an extrava
gant mode of life.
“Whenever the spirit of the British
aeople indicates I am no longer want
'd as prime minister, I am ready to
iuit and go back to my porridge, po
atoes and plainness as simple citi
zen.”
COFFINS, FAMILY VAULT
ARE VAGABONDS’ ROOMS
GERSDORF, Silesia, May S—Two |
vagabonds recently chose a gruesome
rendezvous in the cemetery near this
city. The sexton noticed tracks in the
snow leading to a family vault. He
found the vault door open and in the
dim light could see two bewhiskered
men lying in coffins from which the
lids had been removed .
The men were snoring and covered
with blankets, so the sexton said. But
after he had asked guards to help him
arrest the men it was found that they
had gone. However, the skeletons in
the coffins, which were the remains
of persons who had been dead for
over thirty years, were broken into
bits and the coffins were filled with
leaves and grass.
