Edward VII was one of the great
est royal diplomats the world has
ever known, a force for peace and
justice.
His death at crisis in the history
of England removes wise and
bepeficent ruler, who by tact and
discretion ever advanced the in
terests Of his own country and pro-
NOTED harmony in the concert of
nations.
Naturally of quick, impulsive and
energetic disposition, a man of ac-
tion, who for nearly four decades
was obliged to hold his powers in
restraint, he became not the MERRY
Monarch the wiseacres believed he
would be, but a wise, tactful and
able king. He came of an earnest
and practical race, which. although
1t wore the insignia of royalty, was
democratic at heart.
Because of the long reign of the
illustrious Queen Victoria. he was.
with the exception of William ".
the Oldest monarch who ascended the
English throne since Egbert assum-
ed that dignity nearly 1900 years ago.
In honor of his father and maternal
grandfather, the royal infant was
christened Albert Edward. He was
always known by both names while
prince OF Wales, and was called
Berthe in the family circle. AS
king he chose to adopt a good old
English name and rule, as Edward
VII.

heved that children, no matter tc
what rank they were to attain in
later years, should be reared to IN.
derstand that the accident of birth
should be no source of pride. Instead
OF long string of names he was
christened simply Albert, after his
father, and Edward for his grand
father, the Duke of Kent. The
Prince Consort, in drawing up direc-
tions for the guidance of the teachers
OF his boy, closed with these words:
our great aim shall be to build
up noble and princely character. in
Intelligent sympathy with the best
movements of the age
lie was 10 years old when he made
a trip to Canada and the United
States. He readily brought himself
into line with the spirit of the new
world: He had the tact to set aside
exclusiveness and ceremony of court
"ze and to mingle freely with the
people. His unaffected manner and
good fellowship won for him tbou-
sands of friends.
In 1863 as prince of Wales. he
formally entered public life as a

while the consumption OF alcohoiic
