SCOTCH RESENT
HOLY stone
FEES
Object to Charge Made When
They Journey to See
Historic Rock

PHILADELPHIA, August lS.--
State Of New York should send an
expedition TO Massachusetts, to steal
Plymouth Rock ana bring 1t to New
York city. Then suppose the city
charged everyone who came from
Massachusetts, a dime to see the
rock.
Having made these supposltions It
will be easy to understand how
Scotsmen feel about their "stone u
Destiny"
In 1895 King Edward I OF Eng.
land led an army to Edinburgh and
stole the '.Stone Of Destiny" from
Holyrood Palace. It was brought
to London and ever since has been
in Westminster Abbey.
OF late years the custom has
grown up Of charging sixpence to
see the stone.
Now, 628 years after King Ell.
wards invasion, David Kirkwood, q
Scottish member of Parliament, has
introduced a bin in the House II
Commons to remove the Holy
stone" Of Scotland back to lie
ancient repository at Holyrood.
Scotsmen everywhere are clAmoring
for the passage Of the bill.
It Is probable that the English
would have got away with it for a
few more centuries If they had not
started charging 'Ecotsmen that Sax.
pence to gaze upon their beloved
stone. Scottish pride might stand
for England having custody of the
stone, but Scottish thrift never could
stand for that affront to a national
characteristic.
