LONG LIVE KING EDWARD.

1t Is quite natural that the coronation
of the King Of England should attract
more than passing interest in the En-
glish speaking nation which bids fair,
under a republican form Of government,
TO outstrip the old mother country in
the worlds progress. Americans can
not fail to have feeling Of very close
relationship for the nation, which,
though friendly when friendship best
serves its selfish interests, is neverthe-
less connected by ties of blood, and
blood is thicker than water.
King Edward VII today formally as
sumes the sCepter over nation that
has been foremost in the worlds prog
ress. leader in trade and finance and
a powerful agent in what we are pleas
ed in these days to term the civiliza'
ton OF the world. The glOrles that Clus.
ter around. throne are to the Ameri-
can idea made up largely of tinsel and
trinkets, social functionism and too
often toadyism. Americans brought
up to regard all men as free and equal
and national preferment the reward OF
personal ability, rather than the acct.
dent of birth, cannot by the very ma
ture of the home atmosphere and ma
tional teachings, appreciate that re-
markable personal homage which the
subject Of a monarchical power pays
the occupant Of throne. One has only
TO read the Declaration OF Independ'
ence to learn how the American II
taught from early childhood to regarC
a king.
Time, however, has done its bench
cent work in assuaging the bitter feel
ings resultant from a family quarre

arches serve their good purpose am
Great Britain's government is tn

King Edward OF all monarchs of tn
world has the least fear from the ad
vance OF republican teachings Hi
power comes from the readiness of tn
throne to accept popular demands, an
the uneasiness of the head that wear

rather from the onerous duties Of ad

While many may not be able to gras

Saturday night as Wick Macy and

The boys then ran.

men, but was released, as they said
he was not the man they were looking

in the crowd fired several shots from a

For some time the farmers in that
vicinity have been troubled by night

As the result of Tracys labors there
has been filed with d. A. Clark, the
treasurer, and G. A. Orphat, auditor,
a voluminous report. A summary
shows that thirty-one different officials
and eX-ofiicials and seven newspapers
are charged with Withdrawing from the
county treasury without the authority
of law various sums ranging from a
few dollars to nearly $1,000. The list
includes a congressman, a bank presi-
dent and prominent citizens and Off
cials in all walks of life. The office
of recorder and prosecuting attorney
were also investigated, but everything
was found correct and in accordance
with law.
The grand total of the shortage is
$24,652, or $6,005 more than the alleged
shortage found by the first investiga-
ton. He charges that the methods of
bookkeeping have been too lax, al
though most of the overcharges are due
to misconstruction of the statutes. He
makes no charge of dishonesty.

During the last few days have re-

citizens Of Canton asking me to intro

ket house in Canton and the matter of
the school debt was called to my at

81 will promise you that the first
two bills can be put through easily,
but am not certain as to the third.
II might meet some opposition, but
will do the best I can for all three"
Representative Pollock was out
spoken and emphatic when he arose to
his feet and he was applauded literally
when he said that the bills could be
pushed through without much trouble.
He, too, had received letters urging
him to support the measures and came
to Canton in response to an invitation
to meet the people.
81 believe every one Of thcse bills
should pass" said he, 'and am cer-
tain that they can be got through be-
fore the legislature adjourns. If they
are in my hands Monday will have
them introduced and passed by We'd
nesday, and that will give Mr.. Wilhelm
ample time to get them through the
senate"
"You get them through the house
