Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-11-23


by the state of Georgia in 1895. The officers
propose to celebrate the crowning of Charles H.
as king of Virginia, April I9, 1861, by plant
ing in the public square of Richmond slip
from the Royal Oak of Worcester, in which
tree he king took refuge when pursued by the
soldiers of Cromwell, after the battle of Wor
cester. In the greenhouse OF Boscobei, Eng
land, acorns from this oak are propagated, and
can be obtained through the proper channel
An invitation will be sent to Queen Mary, of
Bavaria, and the hope is expressed that her
son, Prince Robert, will be present in person.
While the planting of the royal sprout is the
ostensible reason for the demonstrations it is
known that the principle OF the Yellow Rose
chapter Of the order, which calls for the return
of a monarchical form of government in this
country, is really the motive power.
Bear petition to the governor of Vir-
gnia, the Viscount de Fronsac will 90 armed
to the conquest After stating the object of
tine celebration and asking permission to plant
a sprig from the "royal oak" the document
continues:
"Our plans contemplate also bronze tablet
to be placed near the young tree; parade con-
sisting of the various local militia and the
colonial bodies, the military chapter of the
Aryan order, the German military and Euglish
military organizations, and such other uniform
ed bodies as shall come from distance.
"But the main feature will be that we expect
to prevail upon the heir apparent to the ancient
., o( d.; OoJ,a e
Queen of Bavaria the direct descendant of
Charles H., to be present in person, OF to be
properly represented
"We ask for the formation of committee
from among YOU TO aid us i'll bringing This dis
tnguished and noteworthy gathering TO your
city. We believe the funds necessary to be
raised will be $4,000.
1--WE commend to you our accredited repre-
sentative, the bearer of this commission, the
Viscount de Fronsac."
This ordet that would have king "to rule
over us is commissioned, under the laws of
the state of Georgia, to maintain, illustrate,
continue and defend those institutions of chiv
airy and merit founded by the various monarchs
who have held domain in America since the
time of the Emperor Charles, in the sixteenth
century.
From its origin, the order is imperial, the
theory being that power, if left to popular
lectit II, leads to the decline Of national honor
and strength, and that placing authority out of
the reach of faction, demagogue and wealth
renders all things i'll the state permanent.
The Yellow Rose chapter firmly holds, so far
as America is concerned, that when, in I776,
the congress of the colonies repudiated the
ruersh,p of King George III. in America, they
did not renounce their allegiance to the heir of
the deposed Stuarts, whose ancestors wer, SOW
ereigns in America, one of whom, Charles H.,
was proclaimed king in Virginia two years be-
fore he was proclaimed iE England; also, that
the present Queen Mary, of Bavaria, being the
direct heir OF the Stuarts, is the legitimate
ereign Of the United States.
The Yellow Rose chapter of the Aryan order
now comes cody ou: with this sweeping invit-
alton:
"ro this programme (that is, the calling of
Pance Robert to the throne of Virginia, )theYel-
low Rose chapter now publicly invites all the
colonial societies and orders in the United
Stae and all those from Europe who have lived
under the bene6cient order and Justice of
monarchial rule and by contrast in this unhap-
PLY faction prosecuted country to witness the
difference. We call OH them to assist us to save
posterity th, rich advantages of this mighty
continent from the rage of dishonest factions,
rapacious trusts and ignorant greedy aud un-
scrupulous demagogues.
