MAY BE ENdLAND's KING.-Lady
Alexandra Victoria Alberta Edwin
Louise Duff's nose was put out of
joint Saturday by the birth of son
and heir to the Duke of York son of
the Prince of Wales. The baby,
after his father and grandfather, is
heir apparent to the broadcast empirs
the sun ever shown upon. The i'm
portance of his arrival lies in the fact
that it lessons the possibility that
the British throne will ever be oc-
cupied by an heir of the Duke of
Fife, who is of the ancient Scotch
family of Duff. This Scottish noble
mans wife is Louise, the eldest
daughter of the Prince Of Wales.
Her two daughters have till now,
been in the line of success
ion, somewhat to the disgust Of the
English people who did not take
kindly to the idea of a Scotch Duff
ruling over them. There is accord
iBgly some popular rejoicing over the
accession to the existing line, and the
Queen is so much pleased that she
wills once dub the boy Earl of Kent.

to resist the reduction, and to demand the
8 per cent on Jan. l. The reduction is

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.


CHICAGO, Dec. 12-Melville w Stone
general manager of the Associated Press
issues a statement which is in substance
rs follows: 1T cannot have escaped pub
lie attention that during the past year
there has been "A persistent and malignant
endcavor on the part Of few New York
papers to discredit the Associated Press
1t was well known that many of those
who were most ClamOrOus in their praise
of the United Press and most solicitous
for the welfare of the Associated Press
papers were at the same moment appi-
Cauts for admission to the Associated
Press, and i'm some cases were Offering
large bonuses for such admissions
"The motives which inspired this cam
paign of libel and falsehOod are easily dis
COvorable. The prime movers in the con
spiracy-two New York editors-were for.
morly conspicuous as Associated Press Of
ficials They used the organization for
their personal advantage, imposing heavy
tax upon all the other papers Of the nation
so that they could get their own news ser
vice at nominal rate, and finally, when
this was no longer possible, because of a
revolt, they set about disputing the organ
izatiOn Of which they were the trusted Of
hcers. How they were given large blocks
of United Press stock, and how they then
secretly connived to push the fortunes of
this rival concern, while they were yet
members of the executive committee of
the Associated Press, is disgraceful story,
with which most intelligent journalists
are too familiar.
''It would be impossible to answer in
detail all of the falsehoods these very fer.
tile people can invent. 1t is perhaps
enough to say that the Associated Press
holds position today incomparably in
advance of that ever held by any news
gathering organization; that it includes
In its membership all the papers of conse-
quence in the nation, except small CO.
terie on the Atlantic seabOard; that dur
ing the'past year it has taken into its mem
bership an average of three United Press
papers a week, and has lost none, and that
its members are proud of its news service,
Gas to "A settlement on business basis,
repeated overtures for adjustment have
come from the United Press during the
past six months, but the officers of the AS

because they did not wish to assume obli-
cations that would have proved insup-
portable"

NATURALLY, the Democrats wish to
economize. They have Frustrated the in
dustries of the country, well-nigh bank
rupted the Treasury, converted the in
variable surplus of former years into a
deficit, and vastly increased the public
debt. Their last desperate resort is to
make as niggardly and inadequate ap-
propriatlons as possible. Thus they will
seek a reputation for economy, and be
able to tell how much less they spent than
the Republicans, Such trickster work
will not avail. The people of this coun-
try do not want small appropriations as
such. They want appropriations wisely
made and properly expended. They would
rather spend ten millions and have ten
millions worth of results to show for it
than to spend only one million and have
no results That is fact which Demo
cratic statesmen of the Georgia and Ken
tucky school do not seem able to make
room for in their brains. But it is a fact
which the sensible and patriotic men in
Congress ought to keep in mind when
dealing with this miserable travesty of an
appropriation bill.

WHETHER the new treaty between the

and just to this country cannot yet be

Japan is too honorable and upright to
have taken any unfair advantage Of an
inexperienced and undiplomatic person
like Mr. Gresham in the negotiation Of
such a compact.
