DEMocRAcIEs LOVE A LORD.

DEMoCRACIES LOVE A LORD.
Sir Commenting on the case Of
the California girl who is building a
set of pink silk pajamas for King
George, you make the following state
ment:
Poor Nicholas Romsnoffi We sup
pose you could search the world over
today and not find a single admirer
working on a suit of red flannel un-
dergarments for him"
That's where you are off. All that
Nicholas has to do is to come to New
York. put up one of the swell hotels
and pose. The elite will do the rest.
Pink pajamas, bouquets. dancing
partners, champagne dinners, honor
ary memberships. limousine larks,
opera boxes, weekend parties and (if
he were unwedded) offers of marriage
will be showered upon him at once,
before he gets his first nights sleep,
and don't you forget it! He will also
be offered opportunity to pose for
every moving picture concern IN The
land at salaries that will make Charlie
Chaplin's look like so cents. America
may be a democracy. but It has an.
other side of it; and then, it-does not
get a real king for star boarder every
day. F. w.P.

Corrects Statement In Regard To
Just-Goyernment League.
A.. rTTI,

COFrectG Statement In heBard To
Just-Government League.
To the Editor of THE TIMES:
would like to correct the state
ment made in your afternoon edi-
ton of March %. concerning the
Prince Georges County Just Govern
ment League.
1t was stated that, with this county
as a nucleus, the National Amer
lean woman's Suffrage Association
started a new State organization,
which is not true.
At the Just Government League con-
vention held in January, at Elk
ridge, it was decided to leave
the National American Womens
Suffrage Association do only State
work and left the Just Government
League members free to join either
national organization as individuals.
Through some misunderstanding var
ious county units withdrew entirely
and formed the Maryland Branch of
the National American Woman's Suf-
frage Association.
A special meeting was called by the
Just Government League on March 10
at Baltimore. when the policies of the
National Woman's Party were in
dorsed and application made for ad-
mission. Our delegate and one other
voted against 1t, and urged that the
State plan be tried for at least year.
On March %, at our regular meet
ing in Riverdale, we resigned from
the Just Government League because
II was anfiIjating with the National
woman's Party, and applied for mem
bership in the National American
Woman's Association. We remained
loyal to the Just Government League,
as we were permitted to do so.
