English Protestants Object to
John Redmond's sugges-

London, May 16.-Extremists among
the Protestants are up In arms against
the proposed amendment Of the coro-
nation oath, and ever since Premier
Asquith signified his intention of car
rying out Mr.. Redmond's suggestion
they have been indulging in threats
and abuse.
The London council of United Pro-

Of these associations. will hold ID spec
ial meeting tomorrow Ito consider the
position" which means declaring on
all attempts to temper with the decla-
ration. That there IL considerable
strain Of political bias In a section of
the hostile throng is shown by letter
sent to the press by the chairman of
the church association, society en-
bracing the evangelical branch Of the
established church, in which conser-
vation is almost a matter of religious
conviction.
The chairman, apparently assuming
that John Redmond was the author Of
the letter to the prime minister, says:
"Mr. Redmond carries his dictatorship
beyond the bounds of decency. Before
the remains of our late beloved king
could be laid in their coffin he has the
audacity to announce that his claim
on Mr.. Asquith is nothing less than
that the bill or rights and the act of
settlement, the twin foundation of the
British throne, shall be treated as so
much waste paper and be deliberately
disobeyed, on the advice of the prime
minister. This is but sample of the
contempt for the constitution and of
the hatred of the free institutions of
this country which are manifested by
the paid agents of the priest party,
whose war chest is replenished by
Irish American sympathizers. A law
yer of Mr.. Asquiths eminence, howev-
er much he might wish change made
In the law. would necessarily recoil at
the suggestion Of such a fragrant act
Of treacherous disloyalty as Mr.. Red
mond dares to suggest"
The secretary of the same body
seems to be impressed by the mildness
of the terms Of the declaration. He
says that in the Scottish coronation,
in which the sovereign swears to
maintain the Presbyterian confession
Of faith in Scotland, the affirmations
concerning the pope and Catholics are
much stronger than the English dec
laration. King George has already
taken his oath, adds the secretary.
The Scots are canny and insist upon
the king taking their oath even before
he meets the privy council.

swimming who begin by impressing
upon their pupils the complexity OF
the stroke-the regular and most ef-

Why bother the novice with such
problems? Tell the learner just to

THE MODERN SETTLER.

No longer do we shoot the savage red
Or amputate his scalp-lock with his
head:
Such rough proceedings went on
In DAYS OF Boone and Kenton;
We stab him with an inch Of pen In
stead.
II must have been q most unpleas-
ant job
To fight the sanguinary Injun mob
In order to be takers
OF their expensive acres;
We moderns have safer way to rob.
Our granddads when they heard the
arrows whiz
Went cunning for the nearest paint
ed phiz.
But what's the use Of shooting7
We've conquered Lo by looting;
We've even grabbed the warpath that
was his.
The pioneer had methods very crude
IL by the modern standard they are
viewed
He got his sections charter
BY war or honest barter
fear the early settler was a prude.
His assets were his rife and his aim,
His courage and his mighty-muscled
frame.
He never knew the science
OF swindling childish clients;
He never learned to work the bunco
game.
So cease this silly worshipping OF
they
Who used mere knife and bullet In
their day.
Come, praise the person able
Who from his office table
Can rob q tribe three thousand miles
away
