The little red faced rascal who 81.
rived a week ago at White Lodge, the
residence Of che Duke and Dlehess 81
York, has already created more than
the usual stir ia the world It is OF no
use for Keir Hurdle to kick about H.
All the world that Isn't hopelessly crus
ty-and thu doesn't have the noe
tnrnal care Of it--has tender feeling
toward baby, and the radio i anti
royalists like poor old Hardie can't
hope to make much Roadway against
the hereditary incumbance by At.
lacking the royal babies. The time
Iorat'ack is not ripe untilt the baby gets
big enough to cry for a parliamentary
subsidy. TheEngishman's foudness Tor
royal babies begins to weaken then.
The parliamentary congralulation Of
the Queen upon the birth Of her great
grandson at White Lodge vas very
formal and periunctory piece Of bu-i
ness to have around Kerr Hardie, the
radical labor leader to such vehe-
ment protest as that delivered by him
in the House Of Commons It ispo'
bable that Hardie cared less about Che
habythan abnutthe opportunity afford
ed him to indulge in some general and
truthful remarks about useless royalty
and especially about the Ornamental
career Of the Prince Of Walks That
the House ofCominons did no want to
listen to him does not necess irily
mean that very many members do not
agree with him in his general estimate
OF royalty, but as long as royalty is
maintained the Englshman will be
reluctant to drop any u the customs
belonging to it, lie will ,ntinue to
make Tool Of himself over every
addition to theQnecn's numerous
brood-this makes about the sixty
sixth, or souething like that-just
as long as he continues, although
grumbNingly, 70 foot royalty's bill, for
luxury and to usredsary legislators.
In spite Of his growing ne is still SO
infatuated with this husk OF monarchy
that he saw nothing absu d in the
elab 1rate official, fuss made over the
birth OF the Duke OF York's son in
GLIDING the provision OF a special
train, kept waiting with steam up fl
aweek in advance, ready to.besr q
Cabinet Minister to White Lodge to
represent the Governml ut upon the
interesting occasion.
This boy, who become the text Of 40
art' oyalist htrsngue II the House
olC mmons whea he was only five days
old, mty some day be King Of Eng
land, is the first grandson Of the
Prince Of Wales,and his father, George
Frederick, Duke Of York, became next
after the Prince Of Wales in success
ion to the thorne IL Great Britain BY
the peath Of the Prince OF Wales
eldest son, Albert Victor Duke Of
Clarence. The people II Great Britain
IRE more gtatiiied over the birth Of
this male htir, because it decreases
he cnances Of the succession psssing
% The children Of the unpopular Duke
u File. who married the eldest daugl,
ter o. the Prince Of Wales. Besides,
haby's papa is square sort OF a young
II ii''T, with ut very much nonsense
about HIM, considering his raising,
aud is rather popular with The people.
So Cummons thought it rather small
ou'sae-s II Keir Hardie to jump on
baby 20 much under his size. Never
thsl'ss, i i worth noting that there il

people who are going about ii Eu-
