English Society ls Wondering How

LONDON, March ALI English
society-except perhaps the small
circle on the very inside, who know
is wondering how King George feels
about the West libel case. The gem
eral impression is that he will turn
the cold shoulder from now on the
Honorable Horace West. at present a
gentleman usher at the royal court,
but that Sir Algernon West, Horace's
father, will weather the storm
Mrs. Horace West, the sons wife,
sued Sir Algernon for circulating
libels concerning her which resulted
In her ostracism from court and high
society. The trial of the case was
characterized by the remarkable un-
willingness of the witnesses-al of
them persons of the highest official
or social position--to tell everything.
Mrs. Asquith, the premier's wife,
couldn't remember exactly what Off
cio.social functions Mrs. West had at
tended Lady Groves memory was
equally faulty. Earl Spencer, the
Lord Chamberlain, who takes care of
the royal invitation list, refused blunt
~ to tell what Sir Algernon had told
him about Mrs West.
Mrs. Vests version was that she
and her husband separated on account
Of the latters immortality. that Sir
Algernon told Earl Spencer, Mrs.
Asquith and others that it was his
daughter-in-lawi instead of his son who
) was to blame and that the result was
the dropping OF her name from the
court list and the "cut direct from
all her former soci 5ty friends. Indeed
letter from the Lord Chamberlain
to Mrs. West was introduced in eyi
dence in which the former explained
that the dropping of the latter from
the court list was due to "the unfor
tunate circumstances" Of her separa
tion from her husband. But the Lore
Chamberlain wouldn't tell on the wit
ness stand what he meant by ''unfor
tunate circumstances, and being sucf
an exalted in~lvidual the Judge die
not compel him to do so.
Nevertheless, the jury gave Mrs
West judgment for Sc ESQ against Si
Algernon, who appealed and has sue

All things considered Sir Algernon

Are You Helping
To Build Keokuk?

The first gun in the cam
paign for a Greater Keokuk
was fired yesterday. The battle
for a progressive city was con-
tinued today. It will not cease
for several days. But few dis
appointments have been en-
countered. In almost every in
stance a liberal response was
accorded the soliciting commit
tees. Just how big Keokuk will
be depends upon the liberality
of her citizenship. More than
half of the total amount asked
for was pledged the first day.

It took a large sum of mon
ey to assure the building of the
dam. It will take a liberal
amount to build a city that will
be worthy Of the enterprise.
And in order to construct such
a city money is essential. The
proposition is plain. It's a big
campaign fund. It's a large
city or a small one. It's an op-
portunity availed or an oppor-
tunity lost. It's time for the
close -fisted, stingy absorption-
ist to loosen up his financial
joints and shake out a contri-
button that will not only amaze
the committee but shatter the
shackles of selfishness. The
old adage that a city is what
her people make it still holds
good. Keokuk should have moi
less than $4,000 for boosting
purposes.
