Almost everybody is familiar with
the story Of Nine. Du Barry. Those
who have not read 1t in history have
seen it wonderfully portrayed on he
stage by Mrs. Carter.
We all know how Du Barry ruled
the court. and how high church Dig
nitaries were compelled to bow to her
and do her honor. She was the mis-
tress of the King. and her position was
in reality more authoritative and pow
erful for the time being than that
OF Jueen.
1t was the same with scores of other
women of history, the Kings favor
ties. French and English history
abounds with the names OF these wo-
men who ruled the Kings, and through
the Kings the people.
Ladies of title and culture and re-
spectabili who desired any state or
social favors for their sons were obilg-
ed to seek the influence OF the Kings
mistresses first
Respect and honor We're shown these
women when they appeared in public
No one dared slight or neglect them
The church accepted them as factors
in royal lives.
Recently Il King died. During his
life King Leopold of Belgium had lived
openly With woman who was the
mother OF his child. But he had been
Obliged to accept very different at
titude from his subjects than that
which the Kings of earlier times de-
handed. There was open disnpproval.
open dsrespect. shown the King and
tho affinity
The People Hccanc Inccnscd.
The people did not hesitate to en-
press themselves regarding the situa-
ton.
And when It was known that the
King was dying the people grew more
and moro incensed toward the woman;
and the church refused to have her
the last offices OF the priest.
All this shows the progress of in
dividual freedom of thought.
1t shows the decaying power OF
Kings.
man mind is toward normal and decent
Ideas of life.
And it shows that tile world slowly,
SLOWLY, hit surely, progresses.
1t shows the passing of thrones.
Above the din OF commerce. above the
clamor and rattle,
OF labor dtsputing with riches, 81
anarchists threats and eroans,
Above the hurry and hustle, and roar
of that bloodless battle,
Where, men are lighting for dollars,
hear the falling Of thrones.
! see no savage most, I near no marian
drumming:
But down in the dust at our feet lie
the useless crowns OF Kings; n
And the mighty spirit of Progress. is
steadily coming, coming,
And the flag of One Republic abroad
to the world he fllnss.
The Universal Republic, where worth
not birth Is royal:
Where the lowliest born may climb
on a self-mnde ladder to fame,
Where tho highest and proudcst born,
If he BIO not true and loyal,
Shall find no masking title to cover
and gid his shame.
Not with the below Of guns. and not
with sabres whettIns,
But with growing minds of men, Is
wagea this swordless fray.
While over the dim horizon. the sun
OF Royalty. setting,
Lights with q dying splender the
