The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1910-10-29
Date for Coronation Of King
George Of England is June p

which the present liberal government
/ is thought to be placing before the
next imperial conference. and by
which it hopes to defeat its opponents
(, for good and ever.
| AS far as have been able to find
out the plan is suggestion for a
British deyolution scheme to be cou-
pied with the creation Of an imperial
council. The keynote of this arrange
ment is that it is to depend upon
I scheme of devolution here.
! Mr.. Redmond has declared In Anne
RIGA that he is quite prepared to ac-
cept scheme OF devolution which
can give to ireland only a considerable
modification OF the official home rule
program Trusted aud active parti-
sans of the government in Scotland
have been preaching home rule for
Scotland. and Mr.. Lloyd is the apos-
( tie of Welsh national and Welsh home
rule. There could be no doubt from
/ the opinions ! have heard expressed
that the government will outline very
/ shortly large scheme of devolution
which will make unnecessary an APP
peal TO the country on the scheme OF
/ home rule which has hitherto been
the official policy.
The details of the imperial aspect of
the scheme which the government In
tends to present for discussion at the
imperial conference next year are at
present vague and indefinite. Whether
Lord Crewe will introduce definite
project. or whether the government Is
| inclined to put forward much more
modest scheme, chiefly with view
to soliciting opinions and suggestions
rather than for the purpose of initial
ing legislation is not yet decided
/ One of the most interesting speak
ers who took part in the recent meet
ings of the United Kingdom Alliance
! in Manchester is Herr Edward Wav-
rinsky, who was invited to speak OF
prohibition In Sweden and who is
about to leave for the United States,
where he will speak on the same SUBJ
ject in almost every city from Maine
| to California. Herr Wavrinsky,
though of Polish descent, is native of
Sweden. AS an army lieutenant. he
was dispatched to spend some months
in studying American military meth
DDS of training at Washington. where
he came into association with the
famous General Grant. There he de-
veloped an intense desire. to promote
peace. which so grew upon him as to
impel him to throw up his commits
Sion in the army and work for those
things which make for peace. As an
advocate Of the extension of the fran
chise and of strong temperance legis-
lation, he subsequently won one Of the
seats in parliament for the Swedish
capital.
| The Swedish government, far from
resenting his resignation of military
service, has appointed him as official
delegate to the International Peace
! Congress, and has also made him one
of the state auditors to the treasury In
which capacity he served three
years term and discovered and ex-
posed an enormous misappropriation
/ of military funds. Herr Wavrinsky
was an early adherent OF Good Tenn
plary, which has about 100000 mem
beers in Sweden, where they have built
about 500 Good Templar halls, many
with cafes and recreation halls at
tached-and have 80 Good Templars
in parliament He was grand chief
templar of Sweden several years and
was elected international chief temp
lar at Belfast in 1906 and at Washing
ton Omitted States) In 1908.
