OF all secret marriages OF royalty the one th-t has
~ given rise to most discussion and to the greatest
amount OF romance IS undoubtedly that of King
George ". to Mrs. FItZherbert a union from which
quite number OF people IN this country claim to be
descended. 1t was only about two Years ago that
proof OF the existence OF this marriage
produced, through opening with King Edwards
permission, package Of documents consigned more
than seventy years ago TO COuttS Bank. which was
found TO contain the certificate of marriage,
having been performed IN Mrs. Fitzherbert's own
drawing room, December 2I, I7S7, by a PrOtes
tant clergyman. The certificate was signed by
George ". then Prince Of Wales and also by the
witnesses Of the ceremony, who consisted of Mrs.
Fltzherbert's uncle, Henry ErrngtOn, and her
brother. lack Smythe. The package also contained
q. letter from George acknowledging the marriage,
and VIII made by HIM beQueathng certain property
:. Mrs. FItzherbert whom he described as his wife.
The reason for the secrecy with which this
~age Of George ~. was enVeloped until the opening
this package may be found the statute enacted
m the reign Of King William and Queen Mary, en-
tled the Bill OF Rights, which provided that Every
person who shall marry q Papst shall be excluded
from and forever incapable 10 inherit the crown of
this realm 1t did not matter that the marriage
itself invalid IN law owing TO its having been
contracted III defiance of the terms of the Royal
Marriage Act OF I772. The very circumstance that
had been celebrated cntaed the penalty instituted
by the Bill of Rights; and there doubt that
George ", who died chdless should by law never
have been permitted TO reign, and should have been
excluded from the succession to the throne. 1t NAV
be safely assumed, under the circumstances, that
had King Edward been IN anyway descended from
George ~, no PERMISSION would ever have been
given by the crown to reveal the contents of the
posted there during the lifetime of Mrs Fitzherbert
n her name. by her close friend and adviser the
great Duke of Wellington.
With regard the claims OF those who insist that
they descended from the union of George ~ and
Mrs Ftzherbert, 1t may be stated that the most
positive evidence exists to show that there was no
issue whatever OF the union and although it is IN
sisted by number OF people in this country that

1 NOTES AND COMMENTS }
{ BY Old Man Smith
PROGRESSIVE POLITICS.

FhOohECOl II Obi lANC.
We have heard OF progressive
euohrs. In our school days We had
soms acquaintance with progression in
mathematics. But progressive poll
tics is modern production. A
Uuited States Senator once said that
neither the Golden Rule nor the Ten
Commandments had any place in
politics. When confronted with the
tale Of bis corruption Tweed con-
temptuously asked "Whst are you go
ing to do about it?" But these senti'
ments seem to belong to Ancient His
tory. All is fair in love, war and
politics no longer finds complsisanoe.
These meditations are induced by the
fact that three prominent candidates
for the Presidential office are taking
high moral ground not alone in their
personal presentation OF their claims
but also in their relations TO others.
The manly governor Of the Great EN-
pire State refuses to prostitute his
office for selfish or partisan ends.
He makes II plain that whether COVER
nor or president, he accepts office as
public trust the du les Of which are
to be performed IN the interest Of the
whole people. He has steadfsstly re-
fused to dispense patronage for polit'
ical ends. And IL he gets the nomi'
nation it will be q splendid example
OF the office seeking the man. The
secretary Of war instructs his fol
lowers and friends not to divide a
state delegation in his interest but tc
allow . free and full expression OF the
choice Of the State for its favorite
sou. Such action ON the part Of Secre'
taIy Taft stamps him as q man whose
big heart is in harmonious proper
tiuss to his body. William ]. Bryan
has also taken high moral ground In
endorsing and commencing the mes
sage of President Roosevelt and ID
urging the democrats in congress t.
support his policies. Such instances
Of unselHshness and patriotic impulse
on the part of each Of the most promi
nent candidates for president arr
chseriog and refreshing. The country
is safe In such hands. Whether Il
shall be President Hughes, President
Taft or President Bryan, the mora
tone Of our government will be OF
high standard.
