THE LIBEL UPON

"In the fierce light that beats up-

on the throne and blackens every blot," the Sovereign of the United Kingdom has need to walk circum- spectly. Especially since the days of the good Queen Victoria, more than before, a sound public opinion has de- termined that the Ruler of the na- tion shall conform to correct moral standards in life and conduct. But on the other hand the purest life cannot always and altogether shield the wearer of a crown from the at- tacks of scandal. Queen Victoria her- self, than whom a better woman would be hard to find, was some- times vilely slandered.

King George bears the general re-

putation of having led an exception- ally virtuous life from his youth, for one born to royal estate. Perhaps Because of that, or that and his lofty. station combined, he has been made a target for a malicious libel, for me ubeuer, like me Last Enemy, loves a shining mark. The libel in this case is an old one, recently re- vived, and it is the revival that has brought about the action taken on His l\Iajes'ty's behalf in the criminal courts and has resulted in a convic- tion and a sentence of the guilty par-

ty to prison.

the days when King George, then

throne, was serving in the Mediter ranean fleet under Admiral Sir Mich ael Culme Seymour. The story wa that the Prince had been secretly married to a daughter of the Admir- al. This' was in the days of Queen Victoria. By her orders the story

be without the vestige of foundation. Unofficial investigations were about the same time undertaken by newspa- pers, and by private individuals in- terested in relieving the family of Admiral Seymour from a cruel and unlleservcd notoriety. In all cases it was shown that the story was a gross and wicked fabrication.

From that day to this no Engli h

tain has ever referred to the story except to deny it. And this attitude ,of the respectable press has been

,based upon assured conviction. As the Brooklyn Eagle says, “Neither the British constitution nor British tradition makes the Sovereign ex- empt from criticism or from violent attack in public speech or in print. As proof of this we need only recall tlie terrihc invective directed, in his own court against George IV by Lushington, Brougham and the other counsel engaged in the defence of Queen Caroline. But there is a dis- tinction _to be preserved between cri- ticism based upon conduct that is a thing of common knowledge, and the publication of defamatory stories which have no foundation except the idle gossip of scandalmongers.” _

It would be cruel that any married

citizen in private life should be wrongfully scandalised as a. bigam-

,ist. Such s libel upon the King is a graver and blacker crime because of the relation which he sustains to the entire people, and because it is an `attack upon the dynasty and the leg- itimate succession to the throne. It is for this reason that-it is not only fitting but necessary that the author or circulater of a libel of such na-

and especially because of their hig estate and dignity. Anarchists and revolutionists lose no opportunities to attack their lives or their charac-

titude of the Opposition in the Legis-

gret the publication of that part of the letter in question. The cold stop. age Sllpplicd, is, we believe excellent, and is highly approved by the me,-_ chants_and shippers who have made use of it.

It is most absurd and misleading

to couple the story of frozen Chin- ese eggs condemned in Montreal with the Island cold storage, which has been tried by many dealers- and others of both political parties and as for as we can learn on inquiry has been universally approved. The Guardian is further informed that the minimum prices quoted by Farmer as having been paid by Messrs. Davis & Fraser are entirely misleading._ The firm has done a very extensive business in this Province on honorable lines, and it is most regrettable that injurious reflections should be cast upon them, Only fOr a too obvious political end.

That portion of Farmer’s letter

which reflects upon the cold storage of eggs should not have been pub- lished. We exceedingly regret that by a want of strict editorial super- vision for the moment it obtained 3, place in our columns.

THE CRETAN QUESTION.

The Island of Crete or Candia is

about one and a half times as large as Prince Edward Island and has about three times as many inhabi- tants. The people are mainly Gbrls- ,_ tians, of a not very advanced type, but they chafe under Turkish rule and are very desirous to be annexed to Greece. The protecting powers, France, England, Russia and Italy, hold them fast to present conditions, after having promised them some- thing better. That is, they promised

their desire for union with Greece.

lt is not much, however, that 300,- 000 people, if they are the best in the world, can do for themselves against a. combination of four or live great powers. But they can make trouble and this they are doing now again. We know what the promise ol "Ia- vorablc consideration" means in re- gard to our ovm affairs and griev- ances. The Cretans must wait as the weak and helpless must always wait, till the powers that be shall give them relief from their almost intol- erable conditions. _

_ PRESIDENT TAFT.

President Taft is energetically

striving to get the reciprocity treaty sanctioned by Congress, and our sym- pathies go out to him in his hercu- lean task. A strong, shrewd, able.

ioace-loying man is Taft, greater and wiser than the powerful party he leads and incomparably less selfish. Really he is trying to save his Par- ty against their will, at least against. the will of the powerful protected in- terests which have already forced a considerable section of the RePubli- can following into revolt.

Reciprocity might go far to SRV!! the Republican party from defeat in the next election. _lt is along that line and for that end, as well as for better economic conditions and inter- national good will that the Presi- dent is workiug. Here in Prince Ed- ward Island, although he has no thought of us, we can realize that the Big Chief at washington is iight- ing our battle. We \vant reciprocity and our hopes of that rest. on his ef- forts. Just now the President looms large in the minds of the P60910 Of both the United States and Canada. overshadowing some Others that had been conspicuous. There was once a
