GEORGE AN ACCESSIBLE KING

The afternoon parties at Bucking- ham palace, of which the king made a feature this Ienten season. provide rather an interesting parallel in conti- nuity. The old rule of our royal house was that the king should be the most accessible of men, and that his houses should be opened as often as possible to those of his subjects who had the right of entry-a right that was much more general in other days than now. In fGct, if we go back far enough, we get to such a condition as is still cor. mon in countries like Afghanistan or the Russia of the first half of the nine teenth century. when the Emperor Nicholas walked the streets and dis cussed all kinds of matters with his subjects at his pleasure and some times at theirs. Gradually in this coun- try the sovereign became less and less accessible. The Stuarts kept some thing like open house, but William IT, did not love his British subjects and Queen Anne had not the charm of her race. With the arrival of the Hano-
 verians, who regarded England as a place of exile and discussed questions of state in bad Latin with their min
 isters-at least in the early period accessibility was out of the question. King George has probably seen more of his subjects than any king since Charles U.-Manchester Guardian

STARVED AMID PLENTY.

An American intelligence officer,
writing from Siberia, says that he
read in home papers of the sacrifices
Americans were making to send grain
TO Russia, and then he looked out of
the window and saw that grain that
had been cut and stacked up two years
ago, and had been left standing there
TO rot. For one reason or another the
Russians had simply failed to take
advantage of their own opportunities,
says Blnghamton Press. There is no
reason to suppose that the peasants
under the dictatorship of Lenine are
more thrifty than they are under the
rule of Kolchak In Siberia. We hear
a great deal about the blockade" of
Russia. Well-meaning women in New
York few days ago held a demon
stration against such policy. But
Russia in normal times Is the eranary

from the menace Of serious German
attack for more than two years. Rus

result of internal paralysis. And, if

There is an old proverb to the effect
that if one takes care of the dimes the
dollars will take care of themselves ,
and it is as true today as it was when
first uttered. And the citizen who,
even now when the purchasing power
Of nickel is practically nil and that
of a dime next TO nothing, considers
the smaller coins of no value and be-
meath his notice, Is not as likely to be
heard from in later years as he who is
saving and frugal-without, of course,
the faint of parsimony.
