From time to time she has shown the
same determination. in wishing to rule
her own affairs. As she grew older the
continual presence of a lady in wait
ing became irksome, and one of her first
requests when she was given a private
sitting room was to be allowed to enter
tain her little friends without having
the attendant always there. She grad
ually developed many ideas and opinions
conspicuously different from those which
she was so carefully and deliberately
taught to accept as the only ones it was
possible for her to have and to hold.
At first her independence of spirit
showed itself in childish manner. She
wished to select her own hat, not liking
those which were bought for her. At

1t is inconceivable thattthis document
could have stirred up much trouble.
Especially as it did not really affect the
rights of Queen Victoria and her sue
cessors, on account of the act of set
Element passed by Parliament two CEN
turtles ago BY a narrow majority of one
vote. This act vested the thrones Of
Great Britain and Ireland in the Hano-
verian descendants of James L, barring
therefrom the less remote descendants of
his son, Charles ], now represented BY.
Queen Marie Therese, of Bavaria, and
by her son. Although the days of "pre-
tenders" and young p~retenders" are
gone by, this incident in connection with
the Duke of Dalkeith is of interest.
His father has the title of the Duke Of
Buccleuch, coming directly from the,
wife of the Duke of Monmouth, who
was Countess of Buccleuch in her own
right, and the title was not taken from
the family when her husband was exc
cuted. The present Duke of Buccleuch
is also Duke of Q%ueensberry, and in
Scotland, where medieval feudalism has
survived by will of the people, to a
degree greater than. anywhere else in
Europe, he exercises very great power
and influence. He is chieftain Of the
great clan of Scott, which in the eyes Of
some Of the people of Scotland is of
greater account than his two d~ukedoms
and his other Scottish and English peer
ages, which number nearly a score.
In Search Of Royalty
But it the powers that be should de-
eide that the princess must have a royal
husband from one ofsthe ~reigntng fam
lilies Of Europe, what then? Among the
lesser results of the war is the termi-
patton Of many royal families, either by
being knocked off their thrones or by
being placed on the blacklist of enemies
to the Allied countries. The oblitera-
ton of Russian royalty is a sad fact
for the matchmaking mammas of Euro
pean kingdoms, but sadder still is. the
ban placed upon German princes; there
were so many nice little Kingdoms in
the German empire, each one of which.
though it might be as small as Rhode
Island or as unimportant as a decadent
dukedom, was nevertheless, a kingdom
and its ruling family were royalty.

Advertisement by the First National

currency not backed by gold, and had
export products to SELL mark was
worth IS cents. If one wished to send
500 to Germany he could go to a
bank, secure German exchange and
400 marks would be paid over there
to the party due to receive it. Or with
400 marks paid by any one in Ger
many, payment of 500 to any one in
America could be effected. That ba-
sis was in use in all commercial trans
actions Now if any one in Germany
desires to purchase anything here of
the value of 500, he must turn in
4,761 marks, instead of 400, to a Ger
man bank to have the payment made
through exchange. The mark is now
worth but one-tenth of a cent more
than cents. instead Of 25 cents, its
former value in exchange.
The advertisement also shows that
100 French francs are worth but 1888
in American money or exchange, in
stead of $40 as formerly, while a Brit
ish pound has exchange value of but
1914, though formerly it was $4.S7.

o. Bursum, who has been chosen a
member of the committee on policies
and platform. He is also a member of
the advisory council composed Of ma

recommended by Chairman Hays, to
prepare in advance of the national
convention, a general program for
submission to the platform committee
of that body.
Senator Lodge who has been on
every platform of the republican party
for many years, strongly approves the
plan of having the bulk of the work
done before the convention meets.
Thereby all the varying views can be
gathered and presented TO the plat
form committee in digested forms.
