The story about Prince George
and companion having. laid out
half a dozen toughs who assaul
ted them has fishy sound. In
all probability the Prince and the
lieutenant tried to have a high
old time by battering inoffensiv g
Canadians and got the worst OF
the encounter. There must have
been some good reason for SUD-
pressing the story OF the arrest or
the pair and the circumstances as
related afford no such reason
Had George really pummled half
a dozen toughs the story would
have been promptly made public
with considerable elaboration, for
the English are not a people to
see anything discreditable In an
exhibition OF personal prowess.

SHOULD ForLOW SUIT.


mento Record Union on the displa,
of various States at the Worlds
Fair is heavily laden with sound
sense. and might he taken advant-
. &c OF by Nevada:
The California Worlds Fair
Convention has entered an earnest
protest against the dual or divided
exposition scheme, adopted by the
Chicago Columbian Exposition Di-
rectors. The feeling of the Con-
vention was that with her exhihi
other exhibitions of the fair mile,
away, and her exhibits divid, d
among departments, California
would be lost sight of in the fair.
1t is a correct conclusion. Cali
fornia should exh bit in a field of
her own, or in a building where
she can mass her exhibits. That
a collective exhibit is what Cali
fornia wants, the Convention de-
cided ter long and hot debate
over resolutions to that effect in
troduced and warmly supported
by Mr., Mills. The objection was
raised that if one State is granted
the privilege OF making a collect
i've exhibit, all others may demand
a like privilege. Mr.. Lubin ap-
pears to have met that objection
squarely by the response "W hat of
il? Ii the States wish to exhibit
separately, why not?" The divis-
ion or departmentizing of exhibits
at the Paris exposition was well
enough for European countries,
which could group industries very
well and also products, without
loss of credit. But that system
applied TO the United States would
not work, and did not. The Ie-
suit was that our exhibits at Paris |
were practically masked, lost, |
whelmed. In country Of such |
immense territorial area. with |
States SO widely separated, with
resources so diverse and SO Pc
culiarly related to climatic condi-
tions along isotheIma belts cut
ting across lines of latitude; with
States so different in age, and in
the character Of their society and
the traits OF the people, there is
every reason why those groups OF
we know as States
should be permitted to collect
their exhibits each in an exclusive
space, or, If they choose, in a sep.
arate building.
II India, Russia, Japan and
others are, as is conceded will be
done, to exhibit in sections wholly
Indian, Russian and japanese, etc,
why should not california, differ
ing as she does 80 widely and ma
terially from her sister States, ex-
hibit the examples of her soil pro-
ducts, her art, her Industrial pro-
yress and her mineral wealth in a
building or a space reserved to
her exclusively? California is to
bear the cost. Whatever there Is
of profit in her exposition she
should therefore enjoy. This is a
novi-g motive with her people in :
ageeeing to make an exhibit.
has very little to do
With it, but practical results in
'eopling and developing the State
lave very much to do with it. We
want to exhibit California as a
init, to show her through the
gency of her products, and the
mimic reproduction of her scene

made upon the home seeker. This
