| 1 _ THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1920 PAGE SEVEN LADY ASTOR’S ELECTION NOW ‘CHALLENGED BY THE ‘LONDON REVIEW’ : says First Woman Membgr of House Is Peeress and Not ‘Entitle:}‘ By Earle C. Reeves (Internatignal News Service Staff . Correspondent) London, Feb. 12.—*“On the above considerations we submit that Lady Astor is not a commoner; that she shares the privileges and disabilities of her husband, Lord Astor; and that therefore she is not qualified to sit in the House of Commons, and that ‘every time she votes she is liable to a heavy fine.” Such is the conclusion of the Sat- urday Review, after examining pre- ~cedents which bear on the question of Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor’s election to the House of Commons, in succession to her husband, who moved to the House of Lords on the death of his father. . . “Lady Astor,” says the Saturday Review, ““is a peeress, which is not a courtesy title, but a definite legal status, whether acquired by birth, creation or marriage.” ‘The writer cites decisions to prove that a peeress as a peer, ald argues that, such being the case, a peeress is subject to the same disabilities, the pertinent one in this case being inability to sit in the House of Com- mons. “A fact which proves that a peer- ess is a rank or status and not a courtesy title is that a peeress, if indicted for treason or felony, must be tried by the peers,” the Review argues. ‘“‘Studd tells us that in 1412 ‘a petition that noble ladies should, under provision of the Magna Charta, be tried by the peers was granted.’ In 1440 the Duchess of Gloucester was tried for witchcraft— might not Nancy Witcher be tried on the same charge—and sentenced ' to exile on the Isle of Man. Doubts were raised at the trial as to the proper method of trying the wife of @ nobleman, and in the following year an act was passed. The pre- amble recites that ‘whereas in Magna Charta there is no mention made how women, of great estate in respect of their husbands, shall be put to answer upon indictments of treason or felonies,’” thérefore it was enacted that ‘such ladies shall be brought to answer before such judges and peers of - the realm as peers of the reilm should be.”” Further evidence is adduced to prove that Lady Astor is legally a peer, and not a legal commqner who merely bears by courtesy the title of her husband, and the Saturday Re- view then asserts that the vivacious American’s election is invalid and that she sits in Parliament illegally. Such is "Part One” of the weekly journal’s argument. .Part Two, to the extent of nearly a column, cites legal precedents which, it is claimed, prove that Lady Astor, having been born in America, cannot sit in the House of Commons, and that Lord Astor, for the same reason, cannot sit in the House of Lords. “If the American colonists,” the article concludes, “had not rebelled against their sovereign and Parlia- ment in 1775, Lord and Lady Astor would be writish-born subjects. “But that’s another story, and in no way affects the legal point we have raised.” KKK HKK KK KKK K * LIBERTY * KX KKK KKK KKK Clarence Hardisty and Harry Schnell commenced to cut logs for H, Klasen last week.

Paul, Minn.:~I was troubled with disordered kidneys for about two years— - my back ached . terribly, side pained ; and I had frequent s excretions. I let "it run on until I read of Dr. Pierce’s IlAauric (anti-uric- acid). I took the . Anuric but a short = time when I was s feeling fine. My side and back stopped paining, and kidneys acted normally. I could sleep well at night which I couldn’t do before. 1 certainly advise any one suffering from kidney disorders to use the Anuric Tablets.”—MRgs. LoviSE GILFILLAN, 289 State St. The kidneys and bladder suffer from the wear and tear and we get chronic inflammations sometimes indicated by backache, painful voiding of water— dull, heavy feelings. Perhaps the uric acid is stored up in the system in excessive amount, and consequeatly when the urate salts are deposited in muscles and joints one suffers from lum- bago (pain in back), rheumatic pains, gout, ete. Nothing will act so nicely as “Anuric” (anti-uric-acid), & recent discovery of Dr. Pierce’s which can be had at all drug stores. “Anuric” washes away the poisons, cleanses the bladder and kidneys — rendering them antiseptic — conse- quently one is soon cured of lumbago, rheumatism, gout, and the body is put into a clean, healthy state.
