KING AND PARLIAMENT.
KEIR HARDIES SNUB. (Received 8.20 a.m.) LONDON, July 14. Mr. Keir Hardie, addressing his constituents, said that should the Lord Chamberlain admit that he did not incite him to the King's garden party because he had not previously responded to invitations, he would let. the matter drop. Since Charles the First's days the King had stood outside politics. If King Edward -were foolish enough to interfere with politics and with the House of Commons it would be a very bad day for him. Mr. G. N. Barnes, Labour member for the Blackfrlars division of Glasgow, referring to the lieir Hardie incident, said he had never attended the King's garden party. He believed any Labour leader attending such functions was made softer and less efficient.
