super stItion About Friday.

Probably the most notable of the
many reasons given for the wide
spread belief that Friday is an un-
lucky day is that 1t was on a Friday
that Christ was crucified The super
stition has been fostered, too, by the
popular notion that Friday is a
ehangeable day, or, as Chaucer calls
1t, "gerful" He says;
"Selde is the Friday al the wyke
alyke."
An old Shropshire couplet contrib
utes thus to the superstition;
fridays day ash have his trick;
The fairest or foulest day Of the
wick"
AS a proof of the universality of the
superstition among all nations and
ranks. it is curious TO note that the
shipping returns of all countries show
much lower sailing rate on Friday
than any other day of the week.
And yet the history of ages goes 4
prove conclusiyely that it is purely d
superstition

Lose No Time with Burn.

Bear in mind that quick treatment
of burn will not only relieve suffer
Ing but will frequently remove all
danger OF permanent scars. Baking
soda, scraped raw potato, lard, olive
oil, molasses and even milk are eff
dcacious, much of the virtue of the
cure depending upon speedy appli-
cation.

NEWS Of NOTED PERSONS

Fears that the commission he has
accepted to act as the official repre-
sentative of the United States at the
funeral Of King Edward might delay
the return to this country of former
President Roosevelt, n~ecessitating q
change in the plans for his welcome
home, were set at rest by the receipt
of a cablegram from him announcing
that he will sail on the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria as scheduled. This will
insure his arrival in New York on

The much discussed meeting of EN-
peror William and Theodore Roosevelt
took place at Potsdam. The visit OF
the former president at the new pal

feature inconsistent with the court
mourning for King Edward, but the
occasion lacked nothing from the
viewpoint of hospitality and the pur-
pose to honor the distinguished Amer
lean.
Theodore Roosevelt, former presi.

..Lon9 Live the King!''

The expression 1.-The king is dead;
long live the king" indicates some
thing deeper than the tickle emotions
Of II people. The king is an institu-
ton and can but live SO long as the
monarchy lasts. When a president OF
the United States dies in Office the
event precIpitates a crisis in the domi-
nant party. He was elected to stand
for certain policies. A king has no pol
icies in the partisan sense. A party
may be built up around his policies
and the fall Of that party be more dis
turbing than the death Of the monarch.
In Great Britain the king is far moro
at the mercy Of parliament, where par
ty power is potent, than the president
of the United States Is at the mercy Of
congress. The ~people-that Is. the ma
jority, which is again the dominant
party-make the president and declare
his policies. The constitution guides
and protects him. Great Britain has
no written constitution. and h con-
stitution changes at the will of the peO-
pie declared through parliament.
Strangely enough. the people OF mo-
narchical Britain can more speedily and
directly influence the policies Of the
king-that is to say. of the throne
than can the people of the United
States the policies Of their president.
So. in a sense, our democratic govern
ment is more stable than the monarchy
of Great Britain.
