the broad issues. politics counts
for nothing.
The King Of England is above
politics. which, in the opinion Of
those Of US who believe In the
monarchy, Is its chief advantage
over the republic. A president
must always, be the nominee Of one
political party, and therefore rep
resents J. only a part Of this
nation. An elected monarch would
be in the same position and hence
submit, In the full knowledge that
all my readers will violently dis
agree with me. that an hereditary
monarchy. drawing It's authority
through Parliament direct from the
people. is the most democratic. Of
all forms of government.
Policy Of Socialists.
I do not know OF any better ar
gument in favor of those empty
ceremonies" the court functions
than. that supplied by the English
socialists. For many years past
their movement has been dominated
by a comparatively small intellect
ual group. This group has had al
its king and queen. Mr. and Mrs
Sidney Webb, with Bernard Shaw
as a kind Of lord chamberlain.
Did King Sidney and his consort
in consultation with Duke Bernard
decide that they would hold theil
little kingdom together by the
direct intellectual appeal Of Fabian
tracts an dstatistical volumes, il
noring the sentimental value Of
reception cards? Hardly. TheS
held '(and still hold believe) peri
odical courts at which all the mer
and women of value, representative
of the entire socialistic community
were duly presented. Thus have
they kept their state together.

maintain gets things, done in. the
Peloponnesian Islands and Mongolia,
and the House of Commons debate
keeps members OF Parliament away
from the music halls for at least
one night. but court reception is
merely an excuse for society ladies
to display the too-seldom advertised
family pearls and tiaras. and an
audience with the sovereign is a DO.
lite fornality. 3
This is a mistake. These official
meetings between royalty and their
principal subjects are among the
most important things that happen
In the practical business Of ma
tional government.
They are the cement that keeps
the stone walls of the constitution
together. Without them, the whole
fabric would be. weakened, and in
time would be fit only for the Boil
sheviSt housebrealSers who would
erect in its place something altar
the approved Moscow design OF
abattoir penitentiary.
What Receptions Mean.
Consider first the receptions,
which are for women, and the le.
wees. for men. As rule, four of
each are held the total number of
invitations (called ''commands') In
the selection Of the guests, and the
chief figures in every profession,
trade and calling are honored.
At the Ievees, shipbuilders rub
shoulders with soldiers and divines,
and lawyers and stockholders with
labor politicians as do their respec.
tive wives at the receptions. A
formal exception is made in. the
case of retail trade, unless the re-
taller has a knighthood. AS knight.
hoods are fairly frequent among
those who sell goods rather than
manufacture them the shopkeepers
are wen represented.
So the whole community Is
brought into direct contact with
royalty through it's representative
leaders, and these individuals feel,
what is indeed a fact, that they are
all one Of a large family Of which
the King and Queen are the heads.
They have been welcomed into
their house, have spoken with them,
and have departed with a feeling
OF intimacy.
There is: magic in the personal
element of the event which no writ
ten message or vicarious greeting
could replace. With the meeting Of
the sovereign and his subject, the
loyalty of the latter Is reinforced.
King Likes Company.
Were 1t possible for King George
and Queen Mary (who are more
democratic than. any crowned heads
that ever existed in the past) to
bring the whole nation to Bucking.
ham Palace, they would do so. The
court presentations. and, Of course.
the populous garden parties which
I had forgotten, are the next best
thing.
Audiences are in a somewhat diff
ferent category, and are granted as
signal mark of honor Ito those
outside the Cabinet and British and
foreign circles whose business it is
to hold frequent converse with the
king) in respect of distinguished
service and achievement. But they
have the same effect as the pub
lie functions. namely to further
strengthen the bond between King
and subject.
Politics does not enter into the
question of the great social events

MIR. TOWNLEY TALKS SENSE

There is no longer any doubt
that Arthur c. Townley, the brains
and the dynamo of the Nonpartisan
league movement which is an ac-
tive though diminishing factor in
North Dakota, Minnesota and other
states, has completely recanted.
interviewed by the Christian
Science Monitor. he recants
squarely. He says that the farm
er':s speciality is production, and
that transportation, distribution
end financing are also sDecialties
which must be left to the special
lists who understand them. He
adds
/ for one have become con-
WINGED that there are forces in
the economic system more
powerful than the state. which
makes it impossible for state
enterprises to succeed. -
This is a strain very different
from that in which Mr. Townley
spoke when he was rallying the
farmers Of North Dakota in the
Nonpariisan league. The Herald
always said that he was sincere
. then. even if mistaken, and there
is no reason to doubt that he is
sincere now.
And certainly he is talking bet.

TIE BOON or GOOD TEETH

A 93-year-old newspaper ven
dor in Washington who as Civil
war veteran was wounded during
the siege OF Nicks berg, has a $40
000 back pension claim on the gov
eminent pending and awaiting de-
cisiOn When asked what he would
do with the money if he got it, the
old man replied that he was not
worrying about that little matter.
AS between the $4,000 and set
OF new teeth with which he could
chew, he swoud choose the teeth,
he said, if he couldn't have both.
There is Il sermOnette and a
wOrth-whil lie moral in the remark
OF the nonaSenarian which was
uttered with something more than
IA perfuctory purpose. Dentists
are agreed that no store teeth ever
were made that measure up in use,
tulness to the set With which ma
ture equips a person! They preach
that doctrine day in and day out,
with no selfish thought of what
effect it may have on their bust
ness. A cherishing care for ones
natural teeth is a duty that all
mon, women and youths owe to
themselves. 1t is a pity that that
fact is discovered too late in many
lives.
Good natural teeth look better,
feel better and serve better than
the other kind They are number
ed among the safeguards of health,
or among the important contribu-
tors to it. They add to the sum
total of the happiness Of a human
life. The standards of American
dentistry are higher, we believe,
than those of any other country
That means that the American poo-
pie, if they will. can go through
life with better teeth than amy
other people are blessed with.
The boys and girls of this day
may think they are less fortunate
than the boys and girls of earle!
generatiOnsL because they are sc
often important to scrub their teeth
and keep their mouths clean, but
thrv are much mistaken. If the!
follow the orders of their parents
or the friendly advice of teachers
they will live to bless the names OF
those who gave them the orders
and advice. This blessing bust.
ness will depend very largely, how
ever, or how we'll they adhere ir
their adult year; to the things the,
learned and the habits they formed
in their youth. Keeping the teeth
clean and having them looked after
from time to time professionally is
a lifelong affair. - Minneapolis
