This question which Is making all England laugh, was asked in all seriousness in a pamphlet published by the Home Rule for Scotland So- ciety. The directors of the society believe that the movement for au- tonomy in Scotia has advanced to such a state that Scots ought to give a serious thought to the question as to what form of government their native country is to adopt as soon as it is set free from British tutelage. As the example of Ireland, where a form of government approaching a republic was set up, is out of the question, Scots feel that they ought to continue being a kingdom, with the provision that they have a king | of their own. When. it comes to picking the man for the job, the Scots are in a dilemma, Bit English newspapers, | Harry Lauder, Ramsay MacDonald, Sir James Barrie, Hugh Gallacher, David Kirkwood, the labor leader from the Clyde; Johnny Walker, who is no ether than the populariz- ed trade mark of a famous brand of whisky, and James Maxton, a pro- minent Socialist member of parlia- ment, Ag the proclamation of an inde- pendent kingdom would of a neces- sity mean the setting up of a par- liament, the Englisch are already speculating on what would happen if all the Scots returned home. For it ig felt that every Scotsman in the world wonld feel entitled to claim a seat in that assembly once it is created. Yorick, a popular London comedi- an of Scottish descent has been ask- | |ed by a London paper what sort of national program he would propose in the event he is selected to rule the northern nation. In the same I would further bring back the kilt wash my knees and would ercour- age Loch Lomond to storm and wave against being gaped at by non-paying visitors. Furthermore, I would run a gigantic sweep at ten shilling a ticket--open to ' every- body outside Scotland." Sir Thomas Lipton is almost cer- tain of rejection for the king job, they feel in England, as he spends his money too lavishly. He has spent millions for yachts, where real Scotsmen would only spend their time. Harry Lauder ig warned that he may have the job for the asking but he must leave his bonnie las- gies behind although not his jokes and there must be no haggling for discount rates in the king-choosing business. .
