xe-Coburg-Go Prince of Saxony
Earl of Carrick, Earl of Dublin, Baron
Renfrew and Lord of the Isles.
The baptism was performed in ST.
Georges chapel, Windsor, with great
ceremony in January, 1912, and the
early education of the child who was
heir to the throne was intrusted to
Lady Lyttleton who cared for the men
tai training of the prince, as well as
the royal children who followed him,
until he was six years old.
The following year Rev. Henry Mil
dren Birch was appointed tutor and
served until 1851, when he was sue
ceeded for seven years by Frederick
w. Gibbs. His royal highness studied
for session at Edinburgh, entered
Chris church, Oxford, where he at
tended the public lectures for a year,
and afterwards resided for three or
four terms at Cambridge for the same
purpose. On his eighteenth birthday
he was made a colonel in the army,
with Colonel Bruce as his governor.
He received the Order Of the Garter
on the same day.
The first official appearance of the
young prince was at the opening of
the coal exchange in London, Oct. 80,
1849. Queen Victoria was detained by
sickness and was represented by the
prince and the princess royal. He
also assisted in the opening Of the
exposition of 1851, and was present
with the queen at the house Of lords
for the first time when the answers to
her message announcing the opening
of the Crimean war were read.
AS Prince of Wales his majesty
travelled extensively. At the age of
seven he journeyed to Ireland for the
first time, and in 1855 visited Paris
with his parents and the princess roy
al. With his tutor the prince walked
through the west OF England, tncognito,
when IA years old, and later visited
for some time in Germany. Many
journeys to all parts of the continent
were taken, the prince generally going
incognito under the name of Baron
Renfrew. The prince decided to visit
Canada and the United States in 1860
Arriving at st. Johns, he visited Nj
agara falls and travelled west to Chi
cago, where he was met enthusiastic
ally, although he followed his custom
of using the name of Baron Renfrew
The prince went from Chicago to ST.
Louis and arrived in Washington late
in October, where he met President
Buchanan and spent several days in
the White House. He visited other
places of interest in the east and
sailed for home from Portland, Me.
The following year he again travelled
on the continent of Europe and later
spent some tome in Egypt and the
holy land.

In our exploitation of the west and
southwest the south has been large
ly neglected, but it has not been for
gotten, and recuperation has now
started new development The south
is coming into its own again and is at
tracing both wealth and energy from
other quarters, while it's home produc-
ton has assumed in value enormous
proportions, says Omaha Bee The Ia
test feature in this development is the
establishment of experimental farms
in many southern states for educa-
ttonal purposes along scientific lines.
The south is ambitious and Is omit
ting no effort to secure the best and
most up-to-date methods and equip
ment for the full utilizing Of its re-
sources. The climate and the soil of
the south are suited to a marked de-
gree to the development of agricultural
pursuits. Richer soil is to be found in
but few places. Timber abounds, the
summer season is long, the rainfall is
plentiful and everything that nature
can put at the disposal of country to
make it agriculturally productive is
there.

That the king was deeply interested
in both domestic and foreign politics
every one knew. AS Prince of Wales
he frequently visited the house of lords
and there were few more attentive
listeners to the debates. But whether
he leaned toward the conservatives or
toward the liberals, whether he ia
vored the nationalist cause in Ireland
or that of the Orangemen, whether he
preferred an understanding with
France to one with Germany, or vice
versa, few could say positively. This
was because his attitude on public
questions was so rarely expressed.
When he believed it wise and for the
public good to make his influence felt
in affairs of state he went about the
business so quietly that few were
aware that he had anything whatever
to do with bringing about the re-
suits. He took no pains, however, to
conceal his belief in understanding
between Great Britain and the United
States, which friendly feeling for
America and Americans he inherited
from his mother.
King Edward was the most prom
nent living Free Mason. For more
than thirty-five years he was identified
with the order, during which time he
served as grand master of the grand
lodges of England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, and also grand prior of the
order Of Knights Templar in England
and grand patron of the Ancient Ac-
copied Scottish Rite of Free Masonry
in the United Kingdom, having re-
ceived the thirty-third and last degree
in that branch of Free Masonry. There
was not a member throughout the
world who took a deeper or more ac-
tive interest in the affairs of the Ma
sonic order. Masonry everywhere re-
ceived his hearty and unqualified sup
port and his presence at important
Masonic functions was always sought
for and usually with success.
From the time of his marriage he
was the leading figure in English So
ciety, and to a great extent it's arbiter.
Possessed of unrivaled and unfailing
tact, of an extremely level head, and
of knowledge of the world, his males
tvs position as Prince of Wales and
as king endowed him with a social
power superior to that enjoyed by any
continental sovereign.
The English people are indebted to
King Edward for many reforms,
brought about by him in his role as So
cial arbiter, and which afforded an ex-
cellent Indication of his character. 1t
is, thanks to him, for instance, that
hard drinking and coarseness of Ian
guage went out of fashion. And if
a higher tone of morality and great
err sense of proprity now prevail than

London, Eng. = King Edward VII

Prince of Wales is king, assuming the
title Of George V, and took the oath
before the privy council at o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
Gathered around the bedside of the
dying king were the queen and prin-
cesses. No hope had been held out
throughout the day for the recovery
of his majesty, whose death, it is be-
lieved, was due to pneumonia, follow
ing bronchitis contracted shortly after

Throughout the empire the word
was flashed, and flags are floating at
half mast the world over. Besides the
social gloom which the kings death
casts over England, several important
and long planned official events must
be abandoned. The Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales were to go to South
Africa with the squadron, and the
prince was to open the first parlia-

in the earlier nalf OF the last century,
it is in a great measure due to the
unobtrusive but excellent care which
his majesty took to keep out of society
those who had forfeited their rights to
remain within it's pale. He was as
ready as any other votary OF pleasure
to meet them in the sphere to which
they had descended and to treat them
there with kindness and consideration,
but he would not tolerate their pres
ence in houses that were respectable,
and took quiet means to eliminate
them therefrom.
One of the most pleasing traits Of
King Edward was his singulaly happy
home life. He was the object of many
stories of a more or less slanderous
nature, which he always considered it
beneath his dignity to deny or refute
But it was only necessary to see the
king among his family at Sandring-
ham, and to observe the affection with
which his nephews and nieces spoke Of
uncle Bertie," to realize that much
that was spoken and written about

bert, his full name, began his career
as cadet of the Royal Navy on the
training ship, Britannia when twelve
years of age. In 1887 he and his
brother started on two years cruise
around the world on the Bacchante,
an experience which he repeated in
1901 when as Duke of Cornwall and
York, he made tour Of the British
Colonies on the Ophis.
After the cruise of the Bacchante,
Prince George was stationed on the
Coda, rose to lieutenant in 1885 and
commander in 1891. In 1891 the an
cient dukedom of York was revived
in his favor, he being the twelfth hold
er of the title since it's creation by
Edward III.
He was made captain in 1898 and
he then ended his sea service, al
though he was raised to the rank OF
rear-admiral in 1900.

cousin, Princess Victoria Mary, daugh.

While on this visit to Europe the
Prince of Wales met the PricesS Alex
andra of Denmark, and their betrothal
was announced Sept 8, 1862. The
wedding ceremony took place in st.
Georges chapel at Windsor, March 10,
of the following year, and the prince
and his wife furnished an establish
ment at Sandringham. Albert Victor,
Duke of Clarence, was the first child,
born in 1854. He died in 1892. The
other children in the order named
were Prince George of Wales, born
1865; Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife,
born in 1867; Princess Victoria, born
1868; Princess Maud, Queen of Nor
way, born in 1869, and Prince Alexan-
der, who was born in 1871 and died
the same year.
Ireland received a visit from the
Prince of Wales and his wife 5 years
after they were married, and in 1868
they Travelled extensively through the
east, returning through Russia. The
prince made his memorable visit to
India in 1875.
The death of William l of Germany
caused the celebration Of the prince
and princess silver anniversary to be
a quiet one. The eldest daughter
Princess Louise, was married to the
Earl of Fife in 1889. The prince
figured as a witness in the famous
bacarat case in 1891. The Princess
Maud of Wales was married to Prince
Charles of Denmark in 1894 and in
1906 they became king and queen of
Norway.
Coronation In 1902.
Upon the death of Queen Victoria
in 1901 the Prince of Wales assumed
the title of King Edward VII With
Queen Alexandra he was crowned with
great ceremony in Westminster Abby,
August 9, 1902. On the eve of the
date originally fixed for the coronation,
which was earlier in the summer, the
king suffered an attack of illness and
was obliged to undergo serious opera
ton. For a time it was feared his
life was in danger.
AS a ruler the king displayed the
same tact and political sagacity that
had distinguished him for so many
years as Prince of Wales.
All his life long his majesty was a
champion of outdoor sport, and each
year his stable carried away list of
the most costly prizes offered by the
English turf In 1900, while still Prince
of Wales, he headed the list Of winning
owners, gaining the triple crown" by
capturing the Derby, the ST. Leger
and the Two Thousand Guineas races.
His winnings for the season amounted
to $148,00O. Horse racing was one of
his principal pastimes and his inf1u.

Some of the possibilities when aerial
navigation becomes common and gen.
eral are suggested by a recent per-
Torrance at-or above-the frontier
between the United States and Mexi
co. A man in a flying machine made
half dozen or more trips back and
forth between the two countries, and
the customs officers Of both nations
looked on and were powerless to inter-
fere with him. The aviator made no
attempt at smuggling, but had he been
so inclined he could have carried goods
subject to duty and defied the laws.
Obviously there is likely to be some
sort of international understanding re-
garding the use of airships which pass
from one country to another.

his accession to the throne will pre-
vent this.
The death of his majesty must also
mean the abandonment of the prin-
cipaI functions of former President
Roosevelt's tour. The official recep-
tons and the embassy entertainments
will be cancelled, and the presentation
of the freedom Of the city and the
luncheon at Guild Hall probably will
be given up.
The Prince Of Wales succeeded to
the throne Immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without Of
fetal ceremony. His first official act
was to despatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death, in
pursuance of custom. His telegram
read:

that my beloved father, the king,
passed away peacefully at 11:45 to-
night"

The political situation is terribly
complicated by the death of the king.
His world-famed diplomacy was be-
1ieved equal to the task of settling the
disputes between the Liberals and
Conservatives, but no such strength is
credited to the new king, George V.

SWAMP LANDS.

An enterprising citizen of New Or
leans has obtained title to 100000
acres of swamp lands in Louisiana,
and in concert with the Illinois Cen
trail and Southern Pacific railroads and
some capitalists Of Chicago it is pro-
posed to raise $1,500,000 to expend in
draining the swamp, says Washington
Post The soil is the richest in the
United States, and equal to any in
the world. 1t is estimated that with
proper tillage it will produce over
three hales of cotton to the acre,
whereas tho average crop Of that
staple is less than cne-half bale to the
acre. In fertility the soil OF the swamp
lands near the Mississippi is practical
ly inexhaustible, and there are 1000.
900 acres of such lands in Louisiana
alone, or more than 10000 square
miles. Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennes'
see, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa
and the states farther north have i'm.
mense areas of swamp lands more fer.
tile than Goshen, which are now prac-
tically worthless for lack of drainage.
Upon the idea that prompted the act
levying tax on oleomargarine, our
government can do anything that is
expedient. 1t has been held that the
government can conserve waters in
the woolly west to irrigate the public
domain and subdue it to the husband
man, and it has been argued that 1t
should remove water from lands in the
Mississippi river bottoms to render
them fit as field, garden and orchard,
but nearly all the swamp lands of the
great valley are the property of indi-
viduals, and that fact may serve to
deter congress from the enterprise.

announced from Washington that the
Atlantic fleet will visit the Mediter-

go in division formation, to give the
commanders, officers and men the adj
vantage of maneuvering in that shape.
Among the ships will be some which
