AT the time when King George Ill.
of England was losing his long fight
against the American colonies the eld-
est Of his nine sons was beginning to
cause that stubborn ruler almost as
much sorrow as was our revolution.
This son, George Augustus Freder-
ick, prince of Wales, was later to be-
come George w., and the great-uncle
OF England's present king. He was
about the most worthless specimen of
humanity that ever disgraced the Brit
ish throne. Nevertheless, as young
man, his good looks, magnetic person
ality and SURPRISING charm of man.
ner won for him the title of "the first
gentleman of Europe" His intensely
proper old father brought him up in
rigid teachings of morality and pro-
priety. But before he was 21 the
prince plunged into every known vice.
Choosing for his friends the widest
youths of the day, George ran the
gamut Of low dissipation. His morals
were the scandal of the court. His
gambling was worse than reckless. He
drank heavily. Worse than all, he
had not an atom of honesty in his
makeup. He cheated outrageously,
"welched" on his gambling debts and
employed such crooked methods in
games of chance that the Jockey club
Is said to have refused him the privi-
1eges of the betting ring. Nor was it
only in sporting matters that this first
gentleman of Eu-
w. ."'eSs rope" proved him
self corrupt. He
violated England's constitution, was a
most abandoned liar, false to his tru-
est friends and devoid of the first prin-
ciples of decency.
Americans who detest the memory
Of George III. for that monarch's treat
ment Of our country may be interest
ed to know that he suffered untold
misery for his sons vile behavior and
was forever involved in trouble over
the princes endless misdeeds. The
young man allied himself with the
statesman Fox and others of his IA
theirs political foes. His gambling
debts were so huge that parliament
was frequently called on to appropri-
ate money for their payment. His in.
come of 100000 year was spent be-
fore it was drawn.
In 1875, when he was only %, the
! prince fell in love with widow, Mrs
Fitzherbert. who was six years older
than himself. She was different from
most of the women he had met in that
she seemed more or less Indifferent to
his destinations. This served to make
the spoiled youth all the more eager
to win her. Mrs. Fitzherbert had be
gun life as Maria Anne Smythe, a girl
of no especial rank or expectations
At 19 she married one Edward Weld
who died few months later. At q
she married Thomas Fitzherbert, and
ut Is was once more a widow. Later
she get herself to win Prince George
George, finding her apparently cold
to his suit, begged her to be his wife
and she at last consented. Their. 70
ljgions differed. This fact of itself
according to the laws of the time, for
bade the union. Moreover, by tn,
royal marriage act, the prince q
| Wales could not marry: without the
consent of the king or CT parliament
Neither consent was given. Nevefthe

Belgium is, perhaps the most pros.

most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance in wealth and social re-

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.


Battle Creek, Michigan, Is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is
strong individual who believes that the
trades-unions are menace to the lib
erty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born" scrapper for the right, as he
sees it, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in ceaseless war
fare against The Labor Trust" as he
likes to call it.
Not being able to secure free and
untrammeled expression of his opin-
ions on this subject through the regular
reading pages Of the newspapers he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he Is accustomed to
for the telling Of his Postum "story,"
and he has thus spent hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS result of Posts activities the
people now know whole lot about
these organizations: how they are
honeycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development Of legitimate
up manufacturers, graft upon their'own
membership, and rob the public. Natu-
rally Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
He employs no union labor, so they
can not call out his men, and he defies
their efforts at boycotting his products.
The latest means of getting" Post is
the widespread publication of the story
that car which was recently wrecked
in transmission was found to be loaded
with empty peanut shells, which were
being shipped from the south to Posts
establishment at Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it Is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitz-
gerald the lie direct. He denounces
Fi,zgerald's statement as deliberate
falsehood, an underhanded and coward
1y attempt to injure his business, hay
ing not the slightest basis in fact. As
such an effort it must be regarded. It
Is significant that this statement about

newspaper publicity. In the patent
inside" of an eastern country paper I
find 1t, and the inference naturally is
that labor-unionites are jnsidiously
spreading this lie.
An institution (or q MANI which
will resort to moral Intimidation and
to physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
main and kill If necessary to effect its
ends, naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur.
poses.
We admire Post. While we have nc
enmity toward labor unions, so long as
they are conducted in an honest, "lfve
and-let-live" kind of way, we have had
enough of the tarred end Of the stick
to sympathize thoroughly with what he
is trying to do. He deserves support
A man like Post can not be killed, even
with lies. They are q boomerang; every
time. Again, we k,,o,o, for hasn't this
weapon, every weapon that could be
thought of, been used (and not simply
by labor unions) to put us out OF busi
ness, too? ~.

PARIS, Dec. 90 Investigations

the fieecing of the bluejackets by the
French.
The division ships had no sooner
cast anchor than sharks of all de-

chance to get at the sailors. All the
