The most unique gubernation of the

the capital. This was matter OF

abandoned its municipal stone crush

costing Sl.25 ton to run the plant,

The New Ruler Of Persia.

The young man who will now be-
como the ruler of that great and
mysterious empire of Persia is the son
Of the late Shah, and is said to be a
young man of advanced ideas whose
reign is likely to be marked by n
notable advance of his country toward
civilization. He is 81 years Of age.
and until called to the capital by the
serious illness of his father. was fight
ing rcbellious subjects in the north
ern part of the country.
Until short time ago Persia was
the most absolute Of Oriental monarch
les with the Shah as the supreme
deSpOt. In most respects. and eSpeci-
ally in it's methods of government,
Pearsia was no more advanced at the
beginning Of 1906 than it was 1000
years ago. Within the past year.
however. there has been a popular
uprising of the more influential classes
who have demanded a constitutional
government and representative as
sembly. The late Shah realized the
situation and met it gracefully. He
vas Il good ruler as Oriental dcspots
go. and mad travelled much in Europ"
honestly ambitious to help his coun-
try and raise it in the estimation Of the
worlI. He, therefore granted tn"
demands of the progressive element.
and one Of the last acts Of his
life was to sign the measure giving
Persia a constitution and an elective
Legislative body.
The new Shah is even less hostile 60
modern ideas than his father was. and
he will doubtless accept the new form
of government in good faith and 10
what he can to bring Persia along the
road of progress toward civilization.
! The new order of things does not mean
that the millions who make up the
| masses OF the Shah's subjects will have
| much to say about running the affairs
of the country. for it will take many
generations yet to educate them up to
that responsibility. But it meaus
that the great empire will be less of Il
despotisni ana that the great mer-
chants. the wealthy mobiles. and other
| men of means will have some voice in
public affairs. Persia is a strange
| country and there are interesting
stories told of the fabulous wealth of
the royal palaces of its ruler
| There is the famous peacock
throne, for instance, made of solid
gold, blazing with diamonds and worth
many million dollars.
There also is a wonderful globe
which some visitors arc permitted to
gaze at. This also is made Of solid gold
set with $4,000 diamonds, emeralds and
amethysts. When the Shah appears in
state his royal robes are decorated
with jewels worth over 81. DOO, OoO-fully
u peck Of them in all, Reliable es-
Inmates place the jewels and precious
stones in his palace as worth $3.50, 600, =
900. Such is the Oriental splendor to
which the new Shah. surrounded by hi;
hundreds of wives. will attempt the
task of undermining Persia.
