court to the admiralty court rather un-

this gentleman had spent little time

Gus as to his ability to cope with the
duties of his new office. His colleagues.
in recognition of the occasion, gave
him dinner, after which he was called
upon for an address. He made long
and serious speech, which embraced
about everything from free trade to
England's foreign policy. Then. paus-
ing a moment. he glanced round the

Meddlesome Intrusion.

And now comes the Anti-Saloon
league, through its imported salaried
superintendent, with a formal demand
on Governor Shallenberger to include
the enactment of its county option law
among the subjects to be considered in
any call for special session of the
legislature.
This meddlesome intrusion will nat
urally be resented by the governor,
and probably also by his political ad-
visers who had been figuring on put
ting the whole question of liquor leg
islation to sleep by the initiative and
referendum route with the idea that
they would thereby make themselves
immune to further opportunities from
anti-saloon sources.
Why, indeed, should anyone speak
ing for the Anti-Saloon league call on
Governor Shallenberger to put county
option on the special session program
along with the initiative and referen-
DUN? The excuse for projecting the
llllldIlN6 anu TelsIoHHuIH IL J0dI III
was inserted in last years democratic
platform, although II was not in fhe
democratic platform upon which the
governor and legislature were elected.
But when it comes to county option no
such side stepping is possible, because
the governor ran as a populist on a
populist platform, as we'll as a demo-
GRAFT and the populist platform on
which he was elected distinctly and
specifically pledged him to county OPP
ton. So If platforms are binding
Governor Shallenberger is committed
at least as much, If not more, to county
option than he is to initiative and ref
erendum.
During the campaign the incongru-
Gus position OF the governor running
on a populist platform promising
county option, and on a democratic
platform promising personal liberty
and home rule, was repeatedly pointed
out by The Bee with the intimation
that one side or the other was going to
be fooled. II is, therefore, really
mean for the anti-saloonists to try to
drive him into corner and compel
him to show his hand at this particu
lar time when he would most like to
be let alone.

Tasks Facing King George.

The political crisis in Parliament is
only one Of the grave problems facing
Great Britain with which its new SOW
ereign must grapple. II Is serious,
touching the national life at every an
gle and on its solution must depend to
other. Nor does the duty OF maintain
ing British influence for internationa
peace constitute King Georges chief
task, important as that u.s. lie finds
his country by comparison losing
ground while others are gaining in
finance, commerce and industry. and
herein lies the severest test of his
power.
Whether. as an English writer has
said, Great Britain is in state Of in
dustrial decadence or not, it is not
making progress in these lines. 1t is
borrowing more than It is lending, not
only in money, but inventions that in
huence the social and industrial life Of
the nation. Not in twenty years has
England turned out an epochal inyen-
ton, and inventions are taken as one
criterion of a country's growth aud de-
velopment. In the case of England 1t
seems to be a fair index. The social
and industrial status of any nation are
closely correlated Its army of unem-
ployed is increasing making poverty
general, because wages are low and
labor discontinued.
These conditions loom larger in the
eyes of the world than even the crux
OF the political strife and must consti-
tute the chief problem confronting the
new king 1t seems that Englands So
cial and industrial destiny must be
worked out through its colonies, for
its contiguous territory is all too
small to offer any material extension
of agriculture. II may be that King
George will be the first to see his way
out through this channel, for it was he
who aroused the world a few years
ago, after touring the British colonies,
by calling on England to wake up"
and look to the development Of its in
sular possessions along lines of closer
harmony and cooperation.
