accustomed for cen turtles to the pres
ence in the Kingdom of certain person
ages of rank, some with power over
their fellows, others with merely NOM
inal designations to differentiate them
from the common run of humanity.
These coronation honors have no
Significance whatever with respect to
the question at issue between the lib.
eral government and the tory-uniOnist
mapority in the house of lords. Only
ten peerages have been bestowed, nu.
merically of not the least consequence
as effecting the present blockade of
Legislation, which has been only tenn
porarily set aside from consideration
for the coronation. 1t has been stated
that if the liberal ministry decides to
force the so-called parliament biN
through the second chamber fully 500
new peers will have to be created, for
the purpose solely OF voting down the
unionist majority.
In this distribution of honors on oc-
casion of celebration the English king
has usually been markedly non-parti-
san, bestowing titles equally between
the two great political divisions. In
this latest instance it is noted that
King George holds strictly to the
same policy as his predecessors, thus
accentuating the difficulty of his pc.
stion in case it should later be deemed
necessary to force the parliament bill
through the house of lords by the pro-
cess just mentioned. The present
kings unprecedented attitude on politi-
cal questions has already been OBJ
served. and it will be interesting to
follow his course of action in case his
ministers call upon him to create half
4 thousand peers for the sole purpose
Of casting votes upon a single meas.
lre. which will virtually put an end
10 their own careers as legislators.
A refusal to do this would of course,
mean the immediate resignation of
he ministry and general election
would follow, with the kings course
sharply defined as the issue of the
Thus it is possible that
England may be confronted with the
necessity of rebuking the sovereign,
n case the liberal policy of stripping
he house of lords Of its veto power

DISASTERS DUE TO
cARELESSNESS

Nearly all the great fire disasters
of the past few months have been
due to carelessness OF one for or an
other The factory fire at Newark,
N. j., in which twenty girls were killed
and fifty seriously injured, was due
to gross carelessness in the handling
OF gasoline. The shirtwaist factory
fire in New York in March, where
nearly l., were killed, YVES due to a
match or cigarette carelessly thrown
in the masses of cotton clippings
which covered the floor. In both of
these cases, the carelessness of the
occupants was added to by the neglig-
ence of the owners of the building
in failing to provide proper fire es-
capes. These conspicuous disasters
should serve to call attention to the
fact that majority of all fires are
equally due to carelessness of one
form or another and cost the United
States 1924, 1000, 900 last year, with ev-
cry indication that 1911 will greatly
surpass that amount Most of these
fires are easily preventable, by the
exercise of reasonable care on the
part of the property owners in the con-
struction and protection of their build
ings and on the part of the tenants
by ordinary precautions and watch
fulness. The recent disasters have
shocked the public into attention and
interest in the matter of the fire
waste, and the probability that the
aggregate property losses will exceed
IA quarter of billion dollars this year,
at the present burning rate, should
stimulate states and municipalities
to action and should bring home to
the individual his personal RESPONSE
bility for this luminous waste. Here
are few of the recent notable fire
tragedies all due to individual or
municipal carelessness.

has been a liberal bestowal of title and

those who have been following the de.
