helps to explain how Duke Edward
came to rely on the Baltimore girl.
The former English King Edward
in his instrument of abdicatlon'
declared his "irrevocable determi-
nation to renounce the throne" for
himself and his descendants. All
very fine now, but suppose Edward
should have a son, and the son
should grow up, a man of power and
ambition, as he might, with an
American mother. He would by in
heritance be the rightful occupant of
the throne of England, and might
reasonably say that his father could
not deprive him of his right before
he was even born. That might be
embarrassing if in troublous times
a weak English king or nervous
queen were on the throne.
Europe will turn from important
matters to read about the latest
American gang killing. Joseph Sea-
duto, aged twenty-eight, was shot
down two months ago while having
his shoes polished in New York city.
Night before last his brother DOM
mic, who had hurriedly moved from
New York, was with IS other men in
a Chicago pool hall.
Three gunner entered, herded
the IA into a back room, motioned
to Dominic Scaduto to step out from
the crowd and stand against the
wall. He did so, and was riddled
with bullets. The executioners were
old for their trade, thirty-six to thir-
ty-nine; young killers, usually, do
that work.
New York city ordered $685. 95
worth of typewriters, union labor
complained that manufacturers
were unfair" and the .purchase
was stopped.
AS far as New York city was con-
cerned that was done to get votes;
no New York citizens arg involved
in the alleged "unfairness."
If all makers OF typewriters
signed an agreement not to sell a
typewriter to New York city for so
years, and never to repair one, that
would not embarrass the city; for
the courts would punish that as con-
spiracy. What is sauce for the goose
is not sauce for the gander.
H. G. Wells, who has influence
in England, was brought up in a
simple, sentimental, low : church
English home" Referring to the
archbishop's slurs on Mrs. Simp-
son, he writes: 81 learned to think
the proper treatment Of men who
insinuate shameful vague things
they cannot specify or substantiate
about woman is horse-whipping."
The archbishop of Canterbury
hardly expected all this, or half.
Doctors announce new COM
pound that kills "sinus germs in
the blood stream" a most impor-
tant announcement. The new COM
pound, called prontosil, is non-poi-
sonous to the patient, kills the
germs that cause sinus trouble, and
may kill other disease germs. The
transfusions of new fighting blood,
sometimes not used often enough or
early enough in medical practice,
may be replaced by chemical COM
pounds that will pursue various dis
ease germs in the blood stream,
helping the white corpuscles.
Congressman Fish of New York
wants members of the Republican
national committee to abdicate,
that liberal Republican party may
be built up.
Does anybody imagine that a Glib
erar' Republican party could have
held back the political Johnstown
fiood. last November?
If the Republican party turns lib
eral now, it may find in 1910 that
it has done so just in time to miss
carrying an election that conserv-
atism might have carried.
The world would like to know
more about the Baroness Eugene de
Rothschild, hostess Of the duke of
Windsor, former king.
She was Miss Catherine Wolf Of
Philadelphia, has been three times
married, and when the king amuses
himself with bowling in her castle.
she beats him, and all the other
men players. Plenty of energy there.
Our good neighbor Chile, anxious
to keep gold at home, decided to
restrict ''luxury importations" and
unwisely included automobiles, in
GLIDING trucks, among "luxuries."
AS result Chile's industries face
heavy losses, her network of mod
ern highways win fall into decay.
