When the ling Uses the Telephone

King George possesses certain priv
ileges as user OF the telephone which
are the exclusive right of the soy
erign and are not shared by any other
member Of the royal family or by any
other person In the Kingdom, says the
London News.
/ When the King requires to speak
over a trunk line he has the right to
claim priority Of service over all who
may be waiting TO use the same line
In order that the nature Of this
/ privilege may be understood It is nee
essary to explain that usually a
! person requiring TO use trunk line.
unless he Is fortunate, has to wait for
at least half an hour until other cali
ers who have reauisitioned the line
before him have finished their CONVEX
sation, for each caller is alloeated the
/ line in his turn. But when the King
acquisitions trunk line His Majesty
is never kept waiting at the most
more than three minutes. which is
/ the time limit for trunk call. and d.
rectly the call In progress Is com
/ pleted the line Is given to the King.
There Is a notice in the trunk ex-
change At the Central Post Office to
the effect that royal doekets are To
] u
notice which requires little expla-
notion. IN the trunk exchange the Calls
are not handled as they are in an
ordinary exchange. They are dealt
with in the first instance By operators
who sit At either side of a long table,
In the centre of which II . sort OF
/ trough that revolves on an endless
chain.
When , call for trunk line comes
| through the table operator writes
down the number and exchange re-
| quired (say. for example, 10 Central
/ Paris and puts the docket into the
| trough. IN which Il is carried down
10 the end Of the table with other
/ dockets: here they are all gathered up
and distributed to the operators At tho
trunk line aHitehboards. each docket
being dealt With in the order It has
come in.
Directly. however. all comes
| through from the King the operator
at the table puts a red stamp bearing
| the word royal on the docket. which
In passed down the trough md sent to
/ the operator who Is working the
required trunk line, and she must
/ deal with t At once IS soon as the
actual call IN progress over the line n
! finished. The red stamp Is only used
/ to denote : call from the King.
Three minutes is the time allowed
for call except when the King n
using a line Ills majesty has the
privilege Of doing 50 without any
time limit. and an operator must never
on any account interrupt a converse
ton when lis Majesty Is speaking.
As a matter of fact, the King. whs
has had occasion recently 20 ne the
trunk lines rather frequently. rarely
or never exceeds the ordinary time
limit The King knows how 4 Iele-
phone should be used, and observes
the rules Iaid down To expedIaIe the
traffic over the line, which even bnm-
ness men very often neglect To do.
His Majesty speaks rather slowly
and very distinctly, but not loudly. %
that his listener has never 10 ask him
TO repeat : word. II Is the exper-
fence At the trunk exchange that the
royal calls are very quickly cleared

THE KINGS DOG

II was not inappropriate that the
kings favorite dog should have been
accorded a place among the "chief
mourners" at the funeral of Edward
VII. Perhaps the dog he petted
among all that bedizened assembly
and artificial pomp, was the only
one that will really grieve as time
passes over a personal loss of true
companionship. To the dog alone
Edward was never the potentate, but
ever the gentle friend. Between
Edward and every human creature
with whom he came in contact there
stood always the barrier that hedge,
about royalty. II was always tbs
king to them that lived; II was {
form they laid away. and new
king was raised up. Their mourn
ing is a perfunctory prescribed cere
mory. continued under orders, and
to be promptly discontinued at th'
end OF an allotted period. Well TO

tons capital informed US they had
learned on good authority that
Roosevelt desisted from any political
activity on the side Of the insur-
gents1 which would embarrass his
successor: and these same lnsur-
gents and Washington correspond
ents may take II from us that Mr..
Roosevelt will continue to desist
from any political activity that will
embarrass Mr.. Taft He took Taft's
advice to keep hands of the congress
sional fight, and some day we will all
know that Mr.. Roosevelt had &C
customed himself during the preced-
ing four years to taking advice from
Mr.. Taft. Truth 10 tell, Mr.. Roose-
welt during their acquaintance had
come to admire Mr.. Taft very much
for his tact, good judgment. SINGER
ity and views of public policy. In
those issues involving federal super
vision Mr.. Taft has gone much fur
ther than Mr.. Roosevelt ever did,
and a comp 'lation Of legislative re
suits and executive activity will DEM
onstrate that Mr.. Taft has accomp-
lished more during his year In Office
in the direction Of perfecting Mr..
Roosevelt's own policies than MIR.
Roosevelt did during his whole
term. Yet. this does not reflect on
Mr.. Roosevelt's ability or sincerity
since somebody had to make a start
and getting really started is usually
the hardest part OF any enterprise.
That Roosevelt sympathizes with the
anti-Cannon crusade was manifest
long before he retired from the pres
idency. and II the Cannon crowd in
the house persist in trying to frus-
trate the party program. Mr.. Taft
will be actively enlisted against
them, too; but to expect Mr.. Taft 10
pick out a congressional leader is
vain. He has enough good sense TO
know that the natural leader of the
majority will be produced by the
natural law of selection. Until that
time the president VII use the tools
he finds to carry out his policies
through legislation. II the people
desire President Taft to have better
tools than Joe Cannon, Lorimer. Aid
rich and Hale, the people must give
them to him: he has nothing to do
with their election.
