JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
-
Tlio Canine Protest.
Said the llttlo mongrel bow-wow
To tho mastiff, slick and stout,
"Thero's a civic movement browing
That Is aimed kick us out.
Let us call a protest meeting
Down on Main beside the tracks
j Thcro to baffle all tho scheming
.That Is dono behind our backs."
AH tho dogs within tho city
To tho -smallest yellow pup
Turned1 out early at tho meeting
And they sent their protests up.
Wlicntha people heard the racket
Like n nation rent with woe,
Ilowllngs, yowllngs, moaning, groan-
lngs,
They nil cried "Those dogs must go."
Thus it was tho protest meeting
Ended in an awful rout
Dogs wont scudding every whlchway
And their coubo was down and out.
So it is in lots of meetings
Words aro shouted botween friends
And tho sessions end in riot
Too much nolso defeats our ends.

a half years residence hero I have
tried to live up to the filonu "Beau
tify tho City," and I hcnrtily endorse
it in every way I ean, but I find my
Jahor and expense is mnny timet,
frustrated by tho numberless dojjs
thai are, allowed to roam at will. The
owners of dogs resent any interfer
ence on tho subject and think they
should hove tho privilugo of owning
dopj if they wish, hut thoy do not
remember tho olhor man's rights in
jtlio mill (or, therefore we must bear
with tho iinnoyaneo or fence oui
'properly against, the instriibion of
jjouio olhor man's dog. I wish also
. to Hicuc of tho unsanitary sido of
itho inntter. I have often felt
jtitrougly on this subject hut do not
know how to find n remedy. It
scorns uHdlcjSK to try to work through

GREAT BRITAIN RUBS IT IN.
THE coronation durbar is a cruel and costly voinindor
to Indians thai thovNaro a conouorcd noonlo.
It is Great Britain's adroit method of "rubbing it in."
Queen Victoria was the first; British" sovereign to have
a durbar (by proxy) 1877, just 20 years after the fall of
Delhi when the last spark of Indian independence was
extinguished. King Edward announced his succession m
more impressive fashion in 11)03, when he and Alexandra
were represented by the Duke anil Duchess of Connaught
And now Ucorge and Alary, "king-emperor" and
"queen-empress," are to show themselves to "their loyal
subjects" a vast majority of whom hale them and all
they represent most cordially .nnd the ceremonies lead
ing up to, during, and following "tho biggest show on
earth" will be attended by a pomp and circumstance and
a lavish expenditure of money absolutely without parallel
in the world's history. It. will be tho' first time that a
British sovereign has set foot on Indian soil.
Every stage of the projected "roval progress" is inter
preted by the native population as a calculated insult.
The royal-party, arriving at Bombay early in Decem
ber, will be heralded by booming cannon, and the whole
city will turn out to see the alien who is their emperor.
The king will enter Delhi through ShadrDarwaza King's
Gate which was used in olden days only by native roy
alty. Here will come the princes of India, heavv with gold
and silver and stones without
their bodyguards, their bands
utmost cornel's of the country, with smiles on their lips
aim gurs m rneir nanus, ro mane omesanee ana swear alle
giance to the successor to their ancient power.
Then the king will go a-hunting. At this moment the
sultan of Ncgal, whose house was ancient before the first
Saxc-Coburg was born, is rounding up the beasts in his
jungle, like any gamekeeper, in order that George V may
have plenty of billets for his 'bullets.
Then Calcutta and the last and crowning humilia
tion. A pageant reproducing the outstanding events in
Indian history, first, the ancient philosophy and culture
of these oriental people; then the comiug of the British,
ruthless and dominant; the long wars which broke the
spirit of India; the last expiring effort to regain what had
been lost which found expression in the mutiny, a little
more than 50 veal's ago and, finally, the "Black Hole
of Calcutta."
India secths with sedition. The spirit of revolution
has gained such a foothold in the country that it is doubt
ful if its advance can ever be checked. A merciless policy
of repression has failed to put down this sullen resistance
on tho part of India's mysterious millions.
Last summer the crops failed. On the heels of drought
has followed famine, and plague. India's 300,000,000
never far from the starvation line, have crossed it.
India's normal death rate is 40 per 1000. Plague and
famine claim a million lives each year, according to offi
cial figures. From the plague alone 0,354,000 died in the
ten years ending 1909. Thousands die in districts never
visited by the official enumerators.
This year conditions in India arc not normal; they are
worse than normal. "Whole towns and villages arc
stricken. There are not enough well to care for the sick
and dying; not enough living to bury the dead. Under
these circumstances it is not strange that a tremendous
cry of protest has gone up from the Indian people against
the mockeiy of holding the durbar, ostensibly a period of
rejoicing, this year. The money might be better spent.
The bulk of Englishmen at home are opposed to it on
the same ground. A large section of the English press has
pointed out with an outspokenness unusual when the sub
ject under discussion is the king, that humanely speaking
it is cruel, and politically speaking it is unwise, to hold the
durbar at this time.
The lord chamberlain's reply was that "there would be
no alteration of the original plans."
Parliament voted .$600,000 to defray the king's ex
penses at this end of the journey. The Indian government
has appropriated $5,625,000. Another $15,000,000 will be
squandered by the native ridel's in "official" expenses
which must conic from the pockets of the common people
in increased taxes.
The reasen: It is the English government's policy that
300,000,000 whipped and subjugated Asiatics must not bo
permitted to forget that Britannia not only rules the
waves, but also has a stranglc-hold on India.
