The National tribune., 1910-11-17

There are lawsuits, and lawsuits. most
Of them more or less grave and not
many OF them funny but ono has been
filed against Representative Kahn, of
California. which seems to be the limit.
One Bernard Campbell an attorney of
Representative Julius Kahn. of the
Fourth California District, for $4,000
damages, alleging he had suffered this
loss thru the failure Of Representative
Kahn TO present certain claims to Con-
gress. The strange part Of It is that
Representative Kahn did not introduce
the measure. 1t would not have cost
him penny and might have saved him
a lawsuit. The claims would never
have gotten farther than the commit
tee room, anyhow, and certainly the
jolly California Representative lacked
his wonted foresight when he failed to
put these IN.
Virginia thinks she is some pump
kins'' on raising apples. Reports indf-
cate that shipments in Virginia will at
least double last years shipments. The
apple-growing industry has really
reached a high state in Virginia
Growers along the lines of the South
ern, in the Valley of Virginia, predict
nearly $50, 900 barrels and many car
loads of culls, which will mean a net
revenue of half million dollars to
them. In five years they expect a re-
turn three times as great.
Alack and alas! Anita Stewart can
never be a Queen. This very vivacious
and self-willed young lady. who is
well known in Washington. married the
Prince Miguel of Braganza. a pretender
to the throne of Portugal expecting
that some time or other the crown
might land on her own small head.
OF course, when she married her hus-
band had the title Of Prince and she
became a pseudo Princess. Now, with
the wiping out of the royal family. the
overthrow of the King. and the donning
of Republican robes. Anita Stewart
finds her hsuband and herself without
titles, and as Prince Miguel Is without
money. there is a pretty tough prop
osition before the young bride and
groom. The story goes that the Brag-.
ANA wing of the family offered to Sc
cure the title to the throne by some
sort of hokus-pocus if the rich mother
of Anita Stewart would put up a mill
lion dollars. This the lady emphatically
declined to do, so the pretty young
American will probably have to put
her erstwhile Prince to work.
Either they are very much worked
up over in Italy for fear Miss EIkins
will finally marry the dago Prince, Duke
de Abruzzi. or else the newspaper men
there are trying to earn their salaries
The very latest that comes from there
is from the Dowager Queen of Italy,
who SAYS that the daughter Of an Amer
ican coal merchant could aspire to
no position at our court and would
only expose herself and us to scorn
and difficulties" The King and Queen
of Italy, ii is said, are quite ready to
give their consent that the Elkins
millions shall so over TO Italy. but the
Dowager Queen won't have it that
way. and she has the backing of the
whole high Roman society, and in the
end she prevails. 20
This royal view of Senator Elkins as
a Coal merchant is refreshing and
reflects the old-time5 aristooratIc con-
tempt for those who acquire their
wealth in business enterprises instead
or wringing ii out Of the people in
taxes No doubt the same feeling was
entertained by Portuguese royalty be-
fore the recent revolution, and perhaps
it will not be long before Ii is Italy's
turn TO establish republic and create
A popular contempt for Kings, Dukes,
Princes and other titled leaches.
