Privileges of the King
(London Express)


was written In consequence, but the
story is sometimes told differently.
Those who need to correspond with
his majesty, who are aware OF the
right procedure, usually write to tne
kings secretary or a member or tne
household, asking that the matter pc
placed before tn king, but petitions
for the exercise of the prerogatlVe III
any form on matters of state are re-
qured to be submitted through the
home office.
The king does not accept invitations
and visit of any form is not pre-
ceded thereby, but by his intimatlon
that he will pay 1t. In other worus'
he always invites himself, and In mat
ters of social intercourse the same Ell
uuette extends to other members or the
royal family. The queen never accom-
panies her husband to the establish
ment of bachelor.
If the king proposes to visit any
house a list of the proposed guests has
to be submitted to him beforehand,
and this list the king revises striking
out and adding names at his pleasure:
There are a number of little details OF
etiquette which are observed, the most
noticeable of which is that finger
glasses are never placed upon the
table If a member of tho royal family
is present The reason for this goes
back to the Jacobite days, when the
toast of the king was converted into
treason by the passing OF the glass
"over the water"
The king never accepts a present
from private person except, OF
course, his own relatives, and never
permits the dedication of book to
himself if there is the smallest likeli-
hood of the exploitation of this dedica-
ton for commercial purposes. The
rule, however is relaxed to the extent
of the FREQUENT acceptance of copies of
books from the authors, but in such
cases the book is required to be bound
according to a specified pattern.

THE LOVE OF MONEY"

~ ONE other papers have not failed,
in rejecting on the affair at
~ Reno, to see, as The Herald has
pointed out, that the worst feature of
such enterprises as conducted in mod
ern times for every dollar there is in
them is the reproduction in films for
the multitude including the youth.
The Washington Star refers to it as
A purely professional game, the fair
ness of which is strongly doubted
by the majority of people, which
teaches nothing whatever, which
transfers an immense sum of
money from a large number of
pockets to a few and the worst
effect of which is to spread before
helpless public later an endless
array of motion pictures wildly
reproducing the meeting of two de-
cidedly undesirable citizens.
Doodle and brutality never before
formed so close and profitable a part
nership as in this sport" that hap
PLY seems destined to make itself so
obnoxious that it will sooner or later
create an effective reaction against
such exhibitions.

CORRESPONDENT ALLUDES
TO IMPRINTED LETTERS

Editor Herald: What is the use of
allowing an argument to be started in
the Letter Box if, just when a point
is reached where something might be
elucidated, ones best letters to that
end are mysteriously squelched? 1t is
like boxing a match in which ones
hand is liable to be seized and held
from behind at any critical moment of
the contest. | for one, writing, as l do,
not for amusement, and often at a sac
rifice of time and trouble that l cannot
spare, could not find it worth while to
continue writing under such haphazard
conditions.
Letters are still appearing on the
Roosevelt question, mentioning me by
name and consequently figuring me as
being still in the fight" when as a
matter of fact the letters l took most
trouble to write and which l set most
store by are lying imprinted.
| have written answers to Mr.. Vree-
land and Mr.. Haskill and if they have
not been printed it is not my fault.
think it is but justice to me that read
ers should know that l have done my
part, and l ask you to print this ac-
cordingly VAL STONE.

and personality were convincing to
the intensely democratic people of
Kansas-for this is the most honestly
democratic community that is to be
found in the whole conutry.
"Stubbs, as a man, appears Stubbsy.
That is his strength. 1t is a principle
of action, down on Cape Cod, where
Quakers are numerous, that If you
want a good, hard fight, and want it
bad enough to be willing to be whip

in your life, you should pick quarrel

Now, Stubbs is red headed Qua

suppressed in the Quaker nature, but
when a Quaker is aroused to righteous
wrath he is as irresistible as a cyclone

There are many curious matters of
law, of rule and regulation and of ETH
quette, which constitute the divinity
which doth hedge king" For some
there are historical reasons in their
origin; for others such reasons still ex-
list; others are mere matters of admit
ted propriety; others simply the crys-
tallization of long custom and OBJ
servance.
In some matters the king is gov
erned by statute, in others he and his
mere wishes are supreme, but even in
the latter category there are matters
in which, that pleasure must be con-
veyed in writing
The constitutional position of the
sovereign accounts for one-and to
many of us groaning under the budget
most important-differenc The
sovereign pays no rates or taxes The
reason for this Is that theoretically
all taxes are levied in the king S
name for the purpose of carrying on
the government and that as in fact
1t would have been before the days of
the civil list, to tax the income of the
king for the purpose of defraying the
kings expenditure was simply taking
money from one of his pockets to put
it into another.
1t is the accepted etiquette that the
king never writes a letter 1t must not
be supposed he never sets pen to pa
per to his relatives on personal mat
ters, and Queen Victoria was a volu-
minous correspondent with her Off
cial ministers, but outside such cases
the only exception one can call to
mind of recent years was the letter
the king wrote to George Herring in
connection with the latter's munifi-
cent assistance to the Hospital Sat-
urday fund. The accepted story is
that Mr.. Herring was offered a knight
hood and declined. and that the letter

AMUSING

A T THE time of the recent primaries
N in Iowa there was dispute among
"A the insurgent and stand-pat ele-
ments in the Republican party as to
which side had triumphed. The in
surgents won hands down in the num-
Der of congressional nominations Sc
cured but the man on whom Cummins
and Dolliver centered their fight was
undefeated, although by a reduced ma
iority that was no particular credit to
him.
In the county conventions in Iowa on
Saturday, however, the Cannonites
can find comfort only if they are double
distilled optimists. Fifty-eight coun-
ties sent solid insurgent delegations to
the state convention TO thirty-siX
stand pat, and the former will control
the state gathering by the overwhelm-
ing majority Of 155, Most of the reso-
lutions passed by the county conven-
tion are insurgent Of the rampant kind
The dispatches foretell for us that at
the state meeting President Taft will
be given the crumb of an Endorsement
by approval in so far as he has let the
insurgent influence guide his hand. In
view of the repeated proofs of rebel
strength those who read the flippant
promise of Uncle Joe that he will be
back in Washington at the next ses-
sion for reelection, and of Sunny Jim
Sherman's news that insurgency is on
the Wane in the west, can afford to sit
back and "jest laff"

A great degree of romantic as well
as historic interest attaches to the ef-
fort being made by Ezra Meeker to
have erected along the line of the old
Oregon trail posts indicating the course
of the roadway that once was the only
clearly defined and accepted route to
the great northwest over 1t innumer-
able caravans travelled, bearing sturdy
men and women with their offspring
to populate the then almost unknown
wilderness and to create the develop

today the glory of the great north

portant factors in our national life.
Where today vast cities exist, with
their industries and social life then

and where the great acreage now bears

ALL ANTI-MACHINE

NJ HILE the insurgent movement in

" ifornia has the sympathy of all
men in all parties who are determined
to put an end to capitalized privilege
in this state, the Democratic voters
will find in their own ranks the oppor-
tunity to register protest against
present day economic and social evils
The wide breach in the Republican
party has driven many who are out of
sympathy with the national leaders
over into the Democratic fold. a large
number have become convinced that
so strong is the hold of the reaction
aries on the party leadership that the
only way to get real results is to quit
the ranks and try new and more di-
rect way of registering their protest
In the present situation lies Il great
opportunity for the Democracy.
Fortunately the party in Los Angeles
has met the situation splendidly. It
has completely removed from control
all the sinister individuals who for
time sought to use it as a corporation
handmaden. The Democratic candi-
dates are without exception openly and
emphatically against machine rule. The
high average of the personnel of the
ticket makes it possible for the party
to present a solid front this fall and
with sure accessions, take advantage
of the opportunity opened by the war
ring Republicans, and strike an eff
fective blow against the railroad ma
chine that has sought for years to
use any and all parties for it's selfish

Fat is often unappreciated or mis-
understood and unduly blamed for sins
of delinquencies of other body foods.
From 10 to 90 per cent of each healthy
body is composed of fat, and its chief
source are the starches and sugars,
though certain fats are directly util-
ized.
The weight of present opinion is in
favor of the view that fats are COM
pletely decomposed in the intestine and
that the fatty acids formed are alb
sorbed, either as soaps or in a solution
brought about by the bile.
AS a source of energy for the de-
velopment of heat, fat may be de-
scribed as quickly available, but not so
lasting as some other substances BY
its concentrated fuel power it saves
other tissues, especially the albumin
Gus ones, from over oxidation and is
valuable as a reserve force.
Moreover, by it's presence the pro-
tein is better enabled to do it's work
in tissue building and as a storage of
energy for emergencies it is of great
Importance. The last material use of
fat is to serve as a protection of the
body from injury and cold. 1t forms

National interest, which was concen-
trated last week on the Iowa primar-
les, now turns to Kansas, where the
same fight of the progressives against
the standpatters is being waged and
will be decided at the primaries, which
in that state, as in California, come
in August. Insurgency Is quite as
much rife in Kansas as in Iowa.
Among the leaders of that wing of the
Republican party are Senator Bris-
tow and Representative Victor Muir
dock. In Kansas. as in Iowa, the
standpatters are making an organized
fight 70, control and as is usual in
conflicts within a party the spirit of
I campaign is bitter.
The strongest leader on the side OF
the progressives is Governor Stubbs,
who is one of the most remarkable
figures in the American politics of to
day. He probably will go to the SEN
ate on the expiration of Senator Cur
tis' term in two years and is des-
tined to become a positive force in
that body. Joseph Edgar Chamberlin
describes him thus:
"Stubbs pleased the people of Kan
sas greatly while in the legislature
by fighting for anti-pass and other re-
form legislation. He took the reform
end of everything. He took it in a

If you would keep in good condition,
said a physician to the Indianapolis
Star it is of course well to give spe-
cial attention to the digestion, but
above all you should be more careful
about your emotions. Every man is a
laboratory full of chemicals and sub
tie forces and influences, the why and
wherefore of which are still mystery
to the wisest of our scientific men.
For example, grief generates poison in
the system and should be treated like
many other Ills of life brought about
by poisonous infections.
"The relations between mind and
body are much greater in some per-
sons than in others. This state of
things is not confined to the higher
order of life as death from grief or
loneliness or captivity is not uncom-
mon among creatures of all grades. 1t

to change the characters in the issues

"It is believed by some excellent au-
thorities that what is known as soft

longing for something that the patient
is unable to obtain. Science has

disappointment and sorrow are real
causes of physical ills.
"And with the discovery of the cause
the remedy is never far removed. AS
grief generates a poison, so do laugh

blood flow freer and redder and stimu-
lates the patient like an elixir. Laugh
