cocKRAN's ADVICE To EDWARD VII
HOW THE NEW KING NIGHT "EXALT HIS
OFFICE TMMEASURABLY."

King Edward VII Of England is already receiving
much we'll meant advice to how he ought 70
conduct himself in his responsible position. w
Bourke Cochran yesterday in an interview which
he gave to The Evening Post pointed out what
his mind is an admirable opportunity for the
potentate to ''exalt his office immeasurably
by exerting himself to bring about peace in the
Transvaal Mr.. Cochran says in part:
The invasion of the Transvaal is generally
gdrded, and rightly a mere manduvre or
politicians seeking parliamentary advantage, which
the late Queen strenuously condemned and
garded a calamity clouding the last years of her
ory should express a desire for peace taking the
ground that the heroic struggle of the South African
burghers for independence conclusive proof
that they deserved it, and that England. during his
reign, would neither seize nor accept territory
less its Inhabitants freely sought the protection of
her nag. there is little doubt that the masses of
the English people would sustain him. however
much the hangers-on of the Court the jobbeTs

The prospect of escaping the terrible drain of the
war and of thus being able to maintain with
hope of success the struggle for commercial SUI
premacy would appeal strongly o English pub

be likely to do II again. for obedience is largely
habit
OF course, If Edward VII allows the present Min
istry without protest dsapproval to continue
the course on which they have embarked. he will
at once sink to the role of a sovereign who reigns
but does not rule. Seldom has a monarch at the
threshold OF his career been presented with such
opportunity.
