per reporter that he did not want the
interference of bishops or princes in
the mining dispute. When the Prince
read this he was tempted strongly to
reply. Indeed, 1t was only the inter-
ference of the King that prevented him
from doing so and entangling himself
in controversy which would have
placed him In an awkward position.
The Princes public duties require his
attendance at court functions. This
part of his public work he dislikes
most, though he recognizes the neces-
Sity of attending such functions occa-
sionally. He takes the view that his
father and mother can carry out all
the great court ceremonies effectively
themselves without much help from
him.
Detests High Ceremonial.
Last year he attended only two of
the courts and was present at only
three other court functions, including
the Buckingham Palace garden party.
So keen Is the Princes dislike of high
ceremonial that one who knows him
intimately said during the Kings ILL
ness that II the King died the Prince
would never be able to bring himself
to go through the elaborate ceremonial
OF the coronation, and that the crown
ing Of King Edward VIII would be
the simplest ceremony of its kind in
the history of England.
However, be that as it may, the
Prince, since he returned from East

Chapter XI.
The Princes Public Life
BY w. T. MARSDON.

Written Exclusively for The Star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance.
The public life of the Prince of Wales
takes up great deal Of his time.
Dinner and speech engagements, re-
ceptions to distinguished people. visits
to big industrial towns, keep him con-
tinually busy
The Prince usually makes a public
engagement at least four months ahead,
some times six or eight months. The
engagements necessitate a great deal of
correspondence and this involves the
Prince in desk work, which he dislikes
intensely.
1t is with difficulty that H. r. H.
can bring himself to sit at desk an
hour at time. He writes few letters,
even to relatives or intimate friends,
and when he does write, the letter
rarely extends over half the sheet. AS
far as possible the Prince uses the tele-
phone or telegraph.
His method with correspondence that
must be answered by him personally is
to dictate the gist of it to a shorthand
writer.
When so engaged, the Prince walks
up and down his writing room, pipe in
mouth, all the while fiddling with some
thing. moving a chair about, taking up
a book and putting it down.
Has Excellent Memory.
The bulk of the Princes oficial cor
respondence is dealt with by Sir God
frey Thomas. who has general authority
from the Prince to deal with it without
special reference to him.
The Prince prepares his speeches in
much the same way as his correspond
q ShnTfhord
then goes over the draft and corrects 1t.
This is frequently done after he has
got into bed. Then he commits the
whole speech to memory. This he can
do without much trouble, for he has
an excellent memory. Some of his
theatrical friends have told him that
If he we're on the stage he would make
q very quick study"
In the princes earlier days a speech
was real ordeal. For days before its
delivery he would be filled with appre-
hension lest he break down while speak
ing. He used to recite speech to
members OF his household half a dozen
times before he delivered it In public.
Once when the Prince was reciting
speech to members of his staff Prince
George called at York House. The
Prince was about to recite the speech
David, don't be fool. You know
that thing perfectly. You will only
make yourself more nervous by going on
like this"
Must Watch His Words.
The Prince took his brothers advice
and. afterward relieved his staff of the
necessity Of listening to him reciting a
speech that heskneW by heart. Grad
ually he grew more at his ease when
speaking, until he became able to deliver
speech without any trouble or fear
Of breaking down. Indeed. nowadays,
he often makes good extempore speeches.
He is to certain extent hampered
as speaker by the care he has to exer-
else never to say anything which must
be construcedTas in support of any
political party. The King must have no
politics and neither must his son.
During the general strike the Prince
went periously near involving himself

desk work than he had probably ever
done in his life.
The Prince used to get to Bucking-
ham Palace at $50 In the morning
and 60 through an immense amount of
correspondence with officials of the
royal household.
He showed that he could be q rapid
worker, rather more rapid than his
father, and some of the palace offlcials
unaccustomed to this rapid method of
dealing with state papers, could scarce
ly keep pace with him.
The Prince would light pipe and
walk about the room to give the some
what harassed officials time to under
stand his methods Of work and what
he wished done.

KICK TO BOOST

nON'T kick-boost!" That's a
- favorite motto among a good
many boosters. Like most short
and forceful maxims, this does not
tell the whole truth. We must dis
tinfiuish between two types of
kicking. One kind is father to the
boost. The other is father to the
Crouch.
Unless you have some kick
against the ways things are, you
will not be interested in boosting
them to where they ought to be.
Kicking is an art. It's rather easy
to kick downwards, or to scuff
along on a level, but when it comes
to giving vigorous uphill shove
with your pedal extremities, that
takes an artist.
This editorial is a plea for more
artists and fewer amateurs. If you

WHY NOT ANNUALLY

CPEAKING at the community
~ picnic Sunday, M. M. Moulton
declared that this affair, the first
of it's kind, should be made an an
nual event, in which not only the
townspeople, but all those living
in the surrounding agricultural
district should take part.
His suggestion was well-received
by the group of 800 that were
gathered there. Nothing is quite
so conducive to good-fellowship as
eating together outdoors. Making
the community picnic annual is an
idea which should be seriously con-
sidered by the park board. Every
year there will probably be some
new Improvement to celebrate and
a community picnic is the best
form of celebration.
We hope that the invitation to
our farming neighbors to join with
the townspeople will be accepted.
They form an integral part of
Kennewick, even though they do
not live within the city limits, and
we want them to feel absolutely at
home in using the park. It's for
all.

how good out town is. Maybe our

kicks with action supplied by the

WANTED-soME SIGNS

DEPORTS from our people who
~ have travelled around this sum
mer point to one very definite
fact; Kennewick has not put itself
on the map. Tourists from other
towns remember going through
Pasco, and "some little town across
the river" whose name they can't
recall, if they ever knew it.
One man stayed in this town
three days while his wife received
medical attention, and at the end
of that time, he didn't know the
name of the town.
Blatant self-advertising is OBJ
noxious to all, but a certain amount
of legitimate labelling is necessary
to keep town from being a non
entity. An attractive arch, bear
ing the words saThis is Kennewick"
or simply "Kennewick" placed over
all highways entering the city
would at least make it possible to
oct into Kennewick without know
ing it's name.
The slogan keep your eye on
Pasco" has won for that city rec
ognizance which extends beyond
the state boundaries. Kennewick,
we believe, is entitled to equal
fame. Set at the outlet of fertile
farming valley, and facing tha
prospects of q wealthy oil and gas
development, our city has a right
to be known throughout the north
west. It will not be if we disguise
our identity under a too-modest
avoidance Of name-signs.
The American Legion, having
realized the necessity that is facing
us, has put down on its main pro-
gram of activities for this year

the shape of an arrow, marked
"Kennewick," in the triangle on
the river highway, where it can be
plainly seen from both directions.

to why the dance did not raise
enough money. Whether this is tn
case or not, I might suggest that
more money would have been tax

freely and find a partner at the
beginning of each dance instead
of having to waste SO much time

their way through to the floor,
failed to dance at all, and at no
time was the floor at all crowded.
Would not it have paid to have

Kennewick, Washington.
Permit me to raise voice in
protest against the way in which
the jitney dance was conducted at
the Fair this year. Personally, I
noticed the short comings, and tho
objecting strenuously to them,
would not have been moved to
action thus, had it not been for
similar complaints on the part Of
others. That to which I am OBJ
jecting was the way in which the
dancers were "shoo-ed" off the
floor at the conclusion of each
dance. This caused each time an
enormous struggle upon small
space at the edge of the floor.
Those who had just danced were
met by those who were starting for
the next dance, the resulting melee
causing much effort and lost time.
To find a partner in this mob was
practically impossible unless one
were possessed of Herculean
strength or recent practice upon
the gridiron.
Now the ladies can be expected
to have neither of the attributes
and consequently were often worst
ed in the conflict. Plenty of seats
were available upon the floor, in
fact they surrounded it, and yet,
who had the privilege of occupy
ing them? Merely bunch of kids.
Surely you admit that the seats
would have served their purpose
much better if the ladies had been
allowed to use them.
Jitney dances have been con-
Quoted in the past where tickets
were collected between halves.
Three men on the floor can easily
accomplish this in few seconds.
It has paid in the past to do this.
Why should it not work now? II
