Edward VII has passed to the
bourne whence no traveller returns. /"
Great Britain mourns, as well she may
Edward was certainly good king, as
kings go He was far above the aver
age, though perhaps that isn't saying
very much. A comprehensive survey
of kings, past and present, discloses a
pretty bad lot, and it is relief to find
one who appears to try to serve his
country.
An English king hasn't very much
power; at home he is mere figure
head, sort of gilded weather vane,
which turns with each change of party
in the Ho Use of Commons. If he re-
fuses TO turn with changes of party
control, there is trouble for somebody,
and it ism t always the Commons that
suffers. Edward recognized the power
of Parliament, and did not attempt to
interfere with legislation
He was democratic, for king. Of
course he had the frills and furbelows,
the gold and tinsel, the gimcracks and
gewgaws that are inseperably connected
with the reigning sovereign. Beneath
these, however, was mind sane enough
to recognize that the common people
have rights, that they were not created
solely to toll for the aristocracy Wisely
he took every opportunity to express
his recognition of the rights of the
workers.
While his power at home was limited,
Edward found an inviting field in d.
plomacy. He took occasion to cultivate
and get on good terms with his fellow
kings, and through this companionship
to cultivate better feeling between
England and the Continental countries.
Among the monarchies, war and peace
are largely determined by the relations
of the royal families, and Edward in
fuence was always thrown toward the

The investigation into the cold stor-
age business is developing surprising
and, to many people, startling facts.
The average person does not relish the
idea of eating eggs of last years vim
tage, but the testimony shows that it
is customary to keep eggs twelve or
fifteen months. 1t is asserted by the
cold storage people that neither flavor
nor healthfulness of the egg is thus inn
pared, and that under proper conditions
they may be kept almost indefinitely.
We doubt, however, if the custom OF
storing eggs for future generations
will become popular. 1t is proposed
that the public be protected in this
matter by requiring articles put in cold
storage to be marked with the date OF
storing, but the storage corporations
strenuously object to this, so there is
little hope that the Aldrich-Cannon
Congress will make such provision.

George V succeeds to the throne by
reason of being Edwards eldest living
son. The English people acclaim him
as their royal sovereign, simply as a
matter of habit. They can neither
elect nor recall. A king gets his power
through the accident of birth, and holds
it by the divine right of the sword. If
George shares the good sense of his
father, Great Britain will be fortunate.

BELOIT ACADEMY
TO CLOSE

June Commencement will mark the
discrimination of Beloit College Acad-
envy. The conditions which caused it's
institution in 1847 have been greatly
altered in the last few years and it's
function has been gradually decreased.
Years ago the Academy was the only
institution of it's kind in the state. In
deed, in 1852 five years after the col
lege was founded there was not single
high school, good or bad, in Wisconsin.
The Academy was the one existing link
between common school and college and
"Prep" graduates constituted the major
part of the Freshman classes. But
now there is scarcely town which does
not boast of first-class high school,
and these high schools, with their adj
ditional advantage of being right at
home, have in large measure sup
planted the necessity of the Academy.
In view of this and of the fact that the
Academy has not been self supporting
for some time, the Board of Trustees,
at it's quarterly meeting, held in Chi
cago on April 10th, voted to discontinue
Beloit College Academy at the close of
The present school year
During it's sixty-odd years of exist
ence, the Academy has had in the
neighborhood of four thousand five hum
dred students, many of whom are now
famous men. There will be a general
feeling of regret among them when
Beloit College Academy closes its doors
forever and becomes nothing more than
a fond recollection.
A sub-freshman class will be formed
for next year, provided enough men in
the Junior Academy class desire such a
class. Scoville Hall will be used as a
college recitation building and the
Academy endowment fund, subscribed
during the past two years, will become
the "a. W. Burr Scholarship Fund,
to be devoted to helping needy men
through college.
Professor j. P. Deane, the present
principal of the Academy, has been
given the chair of Biblical Literature
in the College left vacant by DR.. Bais-
dell's call to Pomona,

WiSCON SIN STATE
CIVIL SERVICE

The State Civil Service Commission
reports that during the last three years
it has held on an average three exam
nations year for the position of stem
ographer. From thirty to fifty candi-
dates usually make the eligible list at
each examination, and nearly every
candidate who passes has chance dur
ing the term of eligibility to accept a
position. There are about twenty-five
stenographic positions in the legislature
open to men only at salaries averaging
about $3.50 month during the legislat-
i've session. The more competent stem
ographers in the legislature invariably
get advancement as a result of their
legislative experience.
There is no other eligible list so
quickly exhausted as that of stenog-
rapher. The reason obviously is that
there is present urgent demand both
in the state service and in the business
world especially for women who have
sufficient education to fit them for
secretarial work. The next examin-
alton for stenographer, including stem
ographers for the legislative session of
1911, will be held on the 18th of June.
Salaries for women range from $40 to
800 per month. There are frequent
calls for stenographers at salaries
ranging from S45 to $50.
The state service covers wide range
and, to supply the necessary informa-
ton to persons who are interested in
the work, the commission has issued a
pamphlet of information which de-
scribes the various clerical, stenograph-
ic, technical and manual positions in
the state service. This may be pro-
cured by writing to the State Civil Ser
vice Commission at Madison, Wis.
The work of the Commission has
grown steadily during the last four or
five years, and at the present time
from seventy-five to one hundred tenn
porary and permanent positions are
being filled each month by competitive
examinations.

Three democratic members of the
Illinois legislature have confessed to
having received 81, 900 each for voting
for Honorable William C. Lorimer for
United States senator. 1t will be re-
membered that Lorimer was unable to
control all of the Republican members,
so bought up enough Democratic MEM
bers to secure a majority. Some people
profess surprise that such corruption
could exist in as old and presumably
highly civilized a state as Illinois, but
Chicago papers assert that there is
nothing surprising in the revelations.
Purchase of legislative votes has been
a common thing. The Right Honor
able William C. happened to get
caught; that is all the difference be-
tween his case and many another.
AS might be expected, Lorimer is
one of the wheel horses of the Aldrich
machine, safe and reliable. You can
always depend on his remaining hitched
where the interests want him. He
never "insurges or kicks over the
traces. He breaches and practices
party solidarity

The Stalwarts have the game all
figured out, and claim they can defeat
LaFollette. They admit he will get a
majority at the primary, but maintain
that they will be able to control enough
members of the legislature to prevent
his election. None of them have faith
that a majority will be secured for
Cook, but they claim their forecast
figures show enough votes to beat La
Toilette. Will the voters of Wisconsin
consent to be ciphers to strengthen
those figures?

Reports from Washington show that
the socalled Regular" senators have

of controlling legislation. The big
