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.
l
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
The slanderous story, is, as we
KING GEORGE.
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-
- Kings, Presidents and Rulers have
s enemies, as other men have, but also
and especially because of their hig
estate and dignity. Anarchists and
revolutionists lose no opportunities
to attack their lives or their charac-
- spread broadcast with impunity.
h
was thoroughly sifted and proven to ter in order by any and every means
to destroy or weaken the established
order of Government. Such dangers
to life or reputation are penalties of
greatness from which the ordinary
prising therefore that King George
has been slandered, although for gen-
'erations past no rulers in Europe or

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-

_ 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
