David Tough sends the Record a COPY
Of the Aberdeen 'Peoplc's Journal"
n perusal of its columns shows That
ScoLsmeD, although intensely loyal
and PATRIOTIC do not. want history
perverted. The Journal heads COL
umn Of letters from correspondents as
follows: "King Edward VII. or I.?-
The UnionCon tract>-'rhe preeedents
of History.-sc6tsmen Called to Ac-
tioH.". The correspondents object to
the first Edward who has ruled the
united Kingdoms assuming the title,
Edward VII" True. the invalid
son5of lIenry VIII. and half-brotller
OF Mary and Elizabeth was the sixth
Edward; but the half-dozen NEEDS were
kings Of England and not of Great
Britain. During their reigns Scot
land was a sovereign and distinct ma
tion, and others Of them besides the
"Proud Edward who experienced the
effects CT Scottish prowess On the field
of Bannockburl had trouble with the
sturdy Scots. The correspondents Of
the Aberdeen paper want Victoria's
son to be known as Edward /. They
also claim that what was sauce for the
Scottish goose should he sauce for the
southrons' gander, and call attention
to Il precedent. When Mary Stuart's
son ascended the English throne he
was given the title Of JAMES l., al
though he was reigning in Scotland as
James VI. 1t is hardly comprehen-
sible to the people of Il young nation
like the United States that SO much
ado should be made over distinction
| with-to us-so small u difference.
But the people Of countries with a
history Of more than IL dozen centuries
i behind them are more jealous Of the
; record, and more disposed to admit
nothing that will glo!ify even their
political allies at the expense Of the
land that gave birth to their fore
/ fathers.
