Edward VII Interferira

PARIS, June liking Edward VII. II
he does not take care, is likely % spoil
his great popularity. As a constitutional
King. he is imposing on his country
diplomacy which is. perhaps. very wise.
but which is. nevertheless. somewhat
Of an outrage on the initiative of the
British nation.
The entente cordiale Initiated by Ed
ward VII was very popular, and IN this
country we are very grateful for the
testimony Of the great friendship which,
as Prince Of Wales, his majesty always
evinced for our country.
But now we find the King wishing to
exert an influence on our interior poll
ties, and even to take a guiding hand
therein. His visits to Paris are becom-
ing very numerous In one year he has
already made three visits and to every
ones knowledge. he has had interviews
not only with the President Of the re-
public. but with all those who are in
power.
In confidential conversations which his
majesty has had with a number OF
French persons. he has not concealed
his dislike OF the policy OF II. Clemen-
ceau- And thus 1t is that the French
people, after having been delighted with
the rapprochement Initiated by the King
OF England. are beginning to be antago-
nistic 70 him. and one frequently hears
the remark, Let this King leave Us
in peace. and mind his own business. %

has no opportunity TO acquire more
than a mere living. He usually lives
well, and Is expected TO make a good
appearance. In comparison with out
side occupation. there are some features
alluring 70 most men. namely. steady
employment, no lost time. thirty days
annual leave. and a reasone BILE allow
ance Of extra leave for sickness with
pay. The chances. however, are not
equal. 50 far as accumulation goes. The
outside man nearly always gets more

clerk. The clerk finds IL an easy matter

alone has very much 10 do with his So
called imprOyidence. It is not improvi-
dence or extravaganza at all, but does
