BIRTHDAY Of
KING GEORGE
His Majesty Receiving Con
gratulations through No
Official Cognizace is
Taken of Day

London. June 3.-This is King
George VS. birthday. and although
His Majesty is receiving many tele-
grams and letters OF congratulation.
no official cognizance will be taken of
the day until after the period of ma
tional mourning is ended. lie will
take advantage of the quiet the pres
ent conditions insure 20 continue plans
which will result i'm the solution Of
the grave and complex problems which
confront the country. The new King
is manifestly sincere in his declared
determination TO wear the mantle in
herited from his father. and England
is beginning TO look to him as an in
ternational peace-maker. If he. sue.
ceeds only in this one rule, he will do
an incalculable service to humanity.
From his exalted position George V.
can WELD an innuence invisible but
world wide. In the international
field he has magnificent opportunity.
and he will have behind him the good
wishes of loyal-hearted people
In home affairs King George is find
ing that there is much for serious re-
fection and diplomatic, if not the
most dclicately tactful arrangement.
The conflict between aristocracy and
Democracy so long threatened. has
now reached the acute stage. Be
King George as capable as he may he
cannot be expected to bring to bear
on this problem the experienced sa-
gscity of his illustrious father. and
lit is surely an unkind fate that placed
in his hands the reins OF power at a
time when long experience in handI-
ing men and complex problems is so
absolutely indispensable. From the
people King George will receive every
consideration in face OF a situation
which demands from men of all kinds
of political opinion largc-hearted
federation.
1t has been said that the new King
shares the antipathy felt toward the
present administration that the Queen
Mother and Princess Victoria openly
displayed Immediately after Edwards S
death, when they accused Mr.. As
quith and Mr.. John Burns OF having
robbed England OF her most beloved
ruler. The charge that he openly used
language unbefitting his exalted posi-
ton to embarrass Mr.. Asquith seems
absurd when taken into consideration
with the mild solemnity and tactitur-
nifty which characterized the King dur
ing the last ten years He was a man
not given to talk, and certainly not to
uterances which might bring upon
him the criticism Of those who are
not worshippers Of royal preorgatives.
Whatever writer's on the British news
papers may put into print touching his
opinions Of politics in general and lat
terday Radicalism in particular. they
certainly have not acquired their
knowledge from his public or quasi

GREENLEAF A POLITICAL CONVERT
Sincerely,
JAMES JOHNSON .

Dank c.. Greenleaf has returned
from New York where he was one Of
North Dakota's delegates to welcome
Roosevelt home. Mr.. Greenleaf was
50 favorably impressed with Col.
Roosevelt that it would not be at all
surprising if he voted the straight Re-
publican ticket this fall, from top to
bottom.
Mr.. Greenleaf says that without a
question, Mr.. Roosevelt is the Nation s
chief jollier He has a pleasant word
for everybody, and thinks with light
ming rapidity. At reception attend
ed by many of the delegates, Kermit,
Roosevelt's son, sat very much uncon-
cerned, very much absorbed in smok-
ing a black pipe.
