DEATH OF KING EDWARD

The death of England's king re-
moves from the world perhaps the
greatest ruler known to history. In
any event he was undoubtedly the most
popular. Even the msot fanatical Irish
patriot never had a word Of disparage-
ment to say against the dead monarch.
Keen, f~ar-sighted and diplomatic,
Edward personally had more to do with
the affairs OF his government than did
any predecessor Tor many years and
it is generally conceded that to h1s
genius was due, in a great measure, the
satisfactory adjustment of the South
African troubles.
From a political standpoint, the sue
cession of George V. to the English
throne is apt to cause an entire change
in the policy of the government. Whne
still a comparatively young man., the
new king is looked upon as being rath-
er narrow in many OF his views, and Is
said to particularly dislike Americans.
However, in his new position he may
broaden and not allow his statesman
ship to be influenced by his personal
likes and dislikes.

a rise in the market should follow

Conditions would seem to warrant
higher prices but the larger interests,
who are reported to be have been ac-

market to advance too rapidly and
every time prices advance two or
