ROYALTY CENSURED
QUEEN AND PRINCE GEORGE
VISITS TO PUBLIC HOUSES.
IRATE GOOD TEMPLARS. (United Press Association —By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received 8 a.m.) LONDON, May 5. The Scottish Grand Lodge of Good Templars solemnly censured Her Majesty (the Queen and Prince George for visiting two model public houses in a London district, one of which is run by a clergyman and has been blessed by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The resolution regrets "that Prince George visited a so-called public house, stood behind ithc bar and shook hands with regular customers of the house, thereby countenancing what a Royal relative, Prince Leopold, had declarel' to be ‘ the only enemy England had to fear.’ This regret is all the more as the Queen recently visited another public house in the same district.”
Many people and prominent clergymen of ithe district declared that no cause suffered more from exaggerated advocacy, unbridled language, misplaced enthusiasm and lack of Christian charity, than the temperance folk.
