The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1911-01-10


London, Jan. 10-If King George
creates the 500-odd peers necessary
| to transform the House OF Lords from
q Conservative into q Liberal as
sembly they will be known as the
"straphangers."
The London Daily Express invented
| the title and it made hit Instant
| ly. It's so appropriate. And to accept
a 'straphangership" will be one of
| the severest tests of party loyalty
| that any politician was ever called
| upon to undergo. For the fact that
he is "straphanger" will never wear
off and the handle It will furnish the
| ''straphangers' political opponents
| threatens to be sufficient to wreck
| many a promising public career
The Express has suggested, as
| titles are sure to run short before a
batch of 500 new noblemen has been
| created, that the "straphangers" be
known by numbers, and this hasn't
improved matters any. In short, the
| Liberals are likely to have consider
able trouble In finding candidates for
| the new Understanding that the
| King consents to confer them.

Paris Jan. l0--Owing to the OBJ
lection to having the guillotine as a
neighbor, and the protests of the res
dents of the quarter, 1.-THE Red
| Widow" is to be removed from "her'
home in the Rue olie-Regnault, and
as soon as hanger can be built
for "her" at the prison the guillotine
will be moved there. The now rather
frequent excursions Of the grewsom'
machine got on the nerves of her
neighbors.
Paris, Jan. 1O--The General Confed-
Grafton of Labor has bought several
| motion picture machines and will
give exhibitions in connection will
their meetings. Strike pictures rioting
life In workshops, etc, will be showr
with view to interesting the labor
ers' wives and sweethearts who vii
hereafter form part Of the assemblies
The theory Is that many strikes ar
unsuccessful by reason of the womeI
demanding their men to go back u
work.
