States Rights and Monarchy.
When Elihu Root, in 1906, made his
speech pointing out the rapid centraliza-
ton Of government at Washington, the
rapid wiping out Of state rights, Mark
Twain commented in his autobiography:
He did not say in so many words that
we are proceeding in a steady march to-
ward eventual and unavoidable replace
ment of the republic by monarchy, but 1
suppose he was aware that that is the
case. He notes the several steps, the Gus
tomary steps, which in all ages have led
to the consolidation Of loose and scattered
governmental forces into formidable CEN
tralization of authority, but he stops there,
and doesn't add up the sum.
Human nature being what II is, sup
pose we must expect to drift into mon
archy by and by. 1t is saddening
thought; but we cannot change our nature;
we are all alike, we human beings; and
In our blood and bone, and ineradcable, we
carry the seeds out of which monarchies
and aristocracies are grown; worship OF
gauds, titles, distinctions, power. .
We have to be despised by somebody whom
we regard as above us, or we are not
happy; we have to have somebody TO wor-
ship and envy, or we cannot be content.
| I'm America we manifest this in all the

we scoff at titles and hereditary prlvi-
lege; but privately we banker after them

when we get them the whole nation pub
licily chaffs and scoffs-and privately en-
vies-and also is proud OF the honor which
has been conferred upon us. We run over
our list OF titled purchasers every now and
then in the newspapers, and discuss then
and caress them. and are thankful and
happy.

knG ARRIVEsAT
Scene OF TURMOIL
His Action in Turning Down As
oniths Proposal Is Latest Turn IN
Stirring Political Strife.

bOND0N. Nov. 1e.--The report that
King George has refused to promise
& Premier Asquith to create sufficient
. liberal peers 10 outnumber the con
eerpatives in the house OF lords has
startled Great Britain as no political
announcement In years
II is said the king made this re-
. fusaI positive and declared he would
not recede from II even II the conn-
try went oyerwhelmiDg liberal at the
forthcoming general elections.
King George Is known TO have pro
nounced Tory feelings. but the idea
thai he would defy popular opinion
as is expected 10 be expressed at the
polls in December, strikes the people
as Incredible Even the conservatives
are startled by the possible eonse-
quences OF Georges act.
The Morning News, In review oil
the situation, says:
"In a survey of the theoretical pos
sibilities OF the political situation, one
is compelled TO take into consldera'
ton the practically ipconcelya0le
idea that the crown may ally itself
with the house Of lords to prevent the
IegaliEing OF the peoples Judgment
Such a move would mean a monarch
ial revolution, added to the peers rev.
plution, and in such an event the
Rrayest happenings that the country
has noted In centuries are TO De ex-
pected."
King George arrived at London to-
day from Sandringham 10 be on the
firing line.
Asouith has demanded that If the
people, in the elections be expected 10
call In December, returned an over
WIDENING majority for the liberals ID
the house OF commons, King George
should agree to create sufficient 10
aral peers TO ontYote the conservatives
An the house of lords. In this way,
Asouith expected TO have the house
az lords pass the parliament BILL
nv which the veto power Is taken
away from the hereditary peers. A
liberal house OF commons, to be sure,
could pass the veto bill, but II could
not become a law until II had been
passed by the house of lords. As at
present constituted, the house or lords
will never vote to emasculate ltseiI.
A serious crisis was expected to be
precipitated by the coup sprung IN
the house of lords by Lord Lans-
downe. the unionist leader, who an
nounced that he would. today request
the government to introduce the par
lament bill Immediately in the house
Of lords. The earl Of Crewe, the gov
eminent leader, replied that be ala
not know what action the government
WOULD take on the request. which is
intended and expected seriously 10
hamper the liberals. II they acceded
Ia Iansdowne's demand, they would
precipitate the veto question In a
house OF commons not overwhelming
w liberal and in a house OF lords
known TO be antagonistic. AS IT can
not be presumed that the lords would
consider the passage of the bill. in
producing il at this time would nave
the effect OF greatly delaying the gen
eral elections. while a refusal 10 IN
troduce II would place the govern
ment in the attitude OF going before
the people with the intimation that
the ministry had met a reverse even
before Il had brought out its veto Dill
for passage.

DEFEAT WON'T AFFECT
G. O. P. SENATOR'S PATRONAGE
Statesmen Who Lost Colleagues In
Recent Landslide viii Be Able
To Make More Appointments.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Republi-
can senators who lost party col
leagues in the recent battle VIII find
some comfort in the fact that tho
disaster will greatly increase their
control OF appointments.
II is the rule that senators Of the
same party as the president divide
general federal appointments in their
state and postmasters in districts
represented by Democrats. A Repub-
lican congressman has the privilege
Of naming the postmasters in his own
district
Conditions resulting from the cleo.
ton will give a surviving Republican
senator not only the patronage con
trolled by his departing colleague and
himself but an increase due to the
Democratic sweep.
Senator Burton will lose the asso-
citation Of Senator Dick in Ohio, but
he will gain the privilege OF picking
out the postmasters in about II Dem
ocratic districts This is more than
double the number OF districts that
we're divided between the two sena.
tors In the present congress.
West Virginia has a solid Republi
can delegation OF five members In
the present congress but will send
four and possibly five Democrats 10
the next congress. In the absence of
Senator Scott. the postoffices will be-
filled by Senator Elkins
With the retirement of Senator
Beveridge OF Indiana, that state will
have two Democrats in the upper
house. Judge e. ID. Crumpacker, the
lone Republican reelected. might
claim the patronage In the twelve
Democratic districts. but he would be-
likely not 20 get IL.
Reports here are that the regulars,
the Fairbanks Hemenway-Wats con.
tingent, will be consulted as to all
patronage outside OF Crumpackers
