FEARS FOR

King Afraid it will be. Swept
Away
VAINLY BULLIED ASQUITH
Il May Be Left the Only Hereditary
Institution in the Three King
doms," Is the Lament of His
Majesty.
VAINLY BULLIED AS0UITH

London, Nov. s.-King Edward is in
an earnest controversy with Premier AS
quith over the budget. His Majesty
cares little about the budget itself, but
he desires intensely to smooth away
the conflict between the Lords and the
Commons.
Of the possible result Of this conflict
the King has said:
at may leave me the only hereditary
institution in the three kingdoms
His Maiesty's attitude became 20 ag-
gressiye recently, constant report has il,
that the premier was forced TO tell
him firmly he was overstepping his CON
stitutional prerogatives.
When the King summoned Mr.. As
|quith to Balmoral Castle month ago
he told the premier peremptorily that
the fight between the Lords and Com,
mons must be averted at all cost. The
King proposed that Asquith drop the
land taxes on condition that the House
of Lords agree 10 pass The rest of the
budget The premier refused to listen
to terms which, be said, would drive
practically his whole party into revolt.
But AsqlIith offered TO consider any pro-
position for possible compromise with
which Lord Lansdown, the opposition
leader in the House Of Lords, might APP
preach him.
The World correspondent learns that
the last words the King uttered to the
premier at this remarkable interview
were:
aAn accommodation must be arrived
at"
This command the King conveyed also
to Lord Lansdowne Moreover, His
Majesty suggested indirectly to Lloyd
George. the Chancellor Of the Exeche.
quer that the speech he was about to
make at Newcastle tOct. 81 be post
poned The chancellor was told that the
King had already persuaded Lord Rose
berry to refrain from speaking in oppo-
sition to the budget at Birmingham,
and he thought Lloyd George should re-
turn the compliment.
The chancellor Of the exehequer ex-
pressed profound regret at being obliged
to disregard the Kings suggestion. He
explained that his silence at that mo-
ment might seriously impair the bud
gets chances Of becoming law and con
vey the impression thar he was wayer-

barked and the hunters started on a
run, Marrar bringing up the rear.

He climbed right up TO the coon and

the ground Farrar shot il. But the coon
had been dead twenty four hours. Rich

ing As to the justice Of some Of its pro
visions
Not only did Lloyd George refuse e
put OF his speech az Newcastle, bur
III the speech he made there he took
an Incorporating position for the
budget in all its details and so made
impossible the conference between the
premier and Lord Lansdowne which
the King had commanded.
Lloyd George Goes Abroad.
Furthermore. simultaneously with the
Kings arrival in Londan tOct. III
Lloyd George left for motor tour on
the continent, to be gore for precisely
as many days as the Kings visit here
lasted.
The King, according to his custom had
intended to summon Lloyd George to
buckingham Palace, there to bring
fresh pressure on him. But the chaneeI-
lor's departure plainly intimated to His
Majesty that he could not be induced
The conflict between Lords and Com
mons is inevitable now.
The King, it is said, adrnires Lloyd
George for his great ability and cour-
age But His Majesty hates Winston
Churchill, whom he described the other
day, it Is reported, as partly alien and
wholly undesirable"
LLOYD George and Churchill are the
men who are making the fight for the
budget both in the cabinet and in the
country and are showing resourcefulness
and grit.
partly alien refers to Winston
Churchill's mother being the former
Jennie Jerome Of New York. Her first
husband was Lord Randolph Churchill
Winston Churchilfs father.

DANES BRAND COOK AS
MONUMENTAL swINDLER

Denmark is divided into three
camps regarding the exploded north
pole discovery claim of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook. A handful of people, In
Guiding the inspector of North Green
land, who still believe he reached
the pole a large number who think
Cook believed he reached the pole;
and an overwhelming majority who
declare that the Brooklyn man is the
greatest impostor of modern times.
The generally accepted view, how
ever, is that Cook wandered around
IN the arctic in search of the pole,
but without scientific knowledge 10
know where he went. When he
emerged from the polar wilds he de-
termined, according to the Danish
opinion, TO make bold claim to the
discovery of the pole sstaking every
thing on the forlorn possibility that
the meager and unscientific observa-
tions that he had made might possi-
bly, substantiate his claims.
The mere taking of such a gamble
discredits Cook as a scientist and
Arctic explorer, the Danes assert, but
when he attempted to bolster up his
claim by observations that obviously
could not have been made and which
the veriest novice would have known
TO be insufficient, he gave up the role
of gambler and entered the ranks
of monumental swindler, in the opin-
ion of Danish people.

Good Chances for the Farmer.

When You get out where a man
has little elbow room and enance
TO develop. he has thoughts OF his
own said Gov. Charles E. Hughes
of New York recently. His think
ing is not supplied to him every
night and every morning, and he is
less of machine and more OF man.
The farmers do not come to the state
government asking aims, They are
self-reliant. they are intelligent.
What We want in connection with
agriculture is not expert method, we
want direction, We want the way
shown, and then the man can walk
in it. There is no reason why the
same care and intention and skill
and consideration should not be de-
voted to agriculture as to industry
and the technical trades.
The men who are running away
from the farms toe frequently make
a mistake. and some day in New
York-and the day is rapidly ap-
proaching-our young men, in larger
numbers, will wake up to the fact
that they have pretty good chance
on the farm, and that they may be TO
"a greater degree independent and
happy in life If they stay where tneir
happy lots We're cast In connection
with their fathers farm or anotner
which they may be able to procure. .
