DEATH AFFECTS POLITICS
Demise of King Edward Comes at
Critical Period in Legislation.
LIBERALS PROGRAM NOW UP
Public OpinIOn May Demand that
Proposed Plan to Reform House
of Lords BE Laid
Aside.

LONDON. April 7.-Pupic opinion will
doubtless demand that the liberal program
for reforming the House OF Lords, with a
possible appeal to the crown to make the
most important recession a sovereign has
been called on to take in many years, shall
be laid aside for a long time. they would
be opposed to thrusting upon King Ed
wards successor a. the very beginning OF
his reign when he was first graphing with
important routine work, question SO Vial
to the future OF the empire.
Throughout the eight years OF King Ed
wards reign tariff reform Verusus free
trade. which was inaugurated by the
famous Chamberlain speech IN May. 1908,
has been continuously under discussion.
The close OF the year 1902 saw the end o.
the long Salisbury administration and the
accession of Balfour to the premiership.
On his accession 10 the throne before the
privy council, the king announced his in
tention to walk in his mothers footsteps
but while Queen Victoria lived almost a
life OF retirement interesting herself mainly
in home affairs, the kings influence
throughout his reign has been devoted more
to interna tonal affairs by visits to foreign
courts and personal action of constitutional
character in various directions. making
every possible effort to bring the empire
into frlendliest relations with other coun-
tries, and his efforts were so successful
that he has been universally known as Ed
ward the Peacemaker."
New Era of LeRisIation,
Politically King Edwards reign has been
chiefly notable for the Inauguration Of a
new era of social legislation for the benefit
OF the people, which followed the coming
of the liberals into power again after a
long conservative regime. The general cleo
lions of 1906 fought on the free trade ques-
ton, bringing the strongest liberal govern
ment for many generations into power, and
under the Campbell Zimmerman and AS
quith ministries, many measures dealing
with education, old age pensions, the rea-
tons OF workers to employers and cognate
matters were put into successful operation,
while the great Irish home rule question,
which SO agitated the political parties In
the Victorian era, has been to a great ex-
tent thrust into the background. The
reign, however closes at a period of great
political unrest. with a large section OF the
community vigorously opposed to the new
liberal policy of encroachment on the priv
ileges of the landlord and arlstocratic
classes. and to which are added the uues-
lions of the constitution of the House OF
Lords, the tariff reform and home rule still
unsettled.

FRANCE LOSES GOOD FRIEND
Republic Regards King Edward as

TORONTO May THE tolling of bells
ward came as a profound blow. The
monarch's successful efforts in cemsnting
the friendship of France and Great Britain

caused him to be regarded as one of the
greatest friends of France.
King Edward was particularly popular
in Paris. He had frequently visited Paris
since the republic was established and the
Figaro points out, at times when the capt
tol seemed to be boycotted by monarchic
states.
The Figaro says: "It is to his clear

vast benefit to the universal peace, which
