PARLIAMENT TRIED A QUEEN.

Nothing perhaps illustrate more
wildly the change in society which a
century has wrought than the fact
that in 1920 the Queen of England was
tried in the House of Lords on
charge Of misconduct. On the 25th of
October, 1920, Thomas Denmark, who.
with Lord Broughman, was Queen
Caroline's chief adviser, concluded his
summary Of the evidence for the de-
Tense in a speech which lasted ten
hours. In spite of his forensic ability
he made a most unhappy conclusion:
IF your lordships have been fur
nished with powers which scarcely
omniscience posses for coming at the
secrets Of this female, you will think
that it is your duty to initiate the JUS
tice. beneficence and wisdom of that
benignant Being who. not in a case
like this, where innocence is manifect,
but when guilt was detected and vice
revealed, said: If no one come for
ward to condemn thee. neither do
condemn thee. Go and sin no more
which inspired some wit with the well
known epigram:
Most gracious Queen. we thee implort
To go away, and sin no more:
But. II that effort be too great,
To go away at any rate.

Also we realize the meaningless

any sort of argument, or do anything

Entertaining such ideals We cannot

of California had passed the anti

lead to war.
"It may not, as Governor Stephens
said lead to war. We do not for n

terrible excitement and eggs on the

Editor Grangeville Globe: :

Governor William d. Stephens, while
recruiting for sailors for the super.
dreadnaught, California, made a
speech at FL Centor, Imperial county,
on Sunday, November Z, in which he
declared as follows
Il am glad to say the voters of
California have passed the antiJap-
anese law and / am here to say that
it will never lead TO war. There may
he diplomatic exchanges between Wash
ington and Japan, but the law will
stand. and Japan will never go farther
than protesting.
"The reason for this is simple. No
foreigner can own land in Japan and
no foreign working man can enter
Japan.
England, Japan'S only ally. and
Australia, have both placed in force
laws similar to the California law, and
Japan has done nothing"
Commenting in Japanese upon the
governors utterances:
"The United States ever since pro-
claiming to the world that it stood
for new international political NOR
ality, has criticized the diplomacy and
international relations of European
countries as secrctive. imperialistic or
aggressive qualitio- which intimately
lead to war. The United States first
and last. has stood against the German
form of government and has advocated
American democra Y and humanistic
international political morality.

northern hemisphpre, exclusive OF In

al factor, IRE more than 100 100000
bushels under . year ago. They say
the crop OF the United States Is 100
0O0,0O0 bushels under that of n year
ago, and that the combined crop Of the
United States and Canada is 10000,
oO0 under that Of year ago; also
that the worlds visible supply OF
wheat is 200000.000 bushels short of
what it was a year ago.
There is absolutely no justifica-
tiun for the present prices says j r.
Howard, president Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and if nat
ural forces are allowed to prevail the
price OF wheat must rebound strongly
in the near future.
We do not intend to call an or
ganized strike to withhold grain from
the market to force the price to regain
its true level. but we do feel that every
farmer should know the facts as to
the available supply and probable de
mand, and If on the strength OF these
facts it seems good business to hold
he should be granted the necessary ere
dit to do so. We do not believe the gen
eral consuming public desires to zee
the farmer accept the present ruinous
prices offered, particularly when the
