DEATH OF EDWARD VII.

The whole civilized world is in
mourning, over ,he unexpected death
Of the seniAl, popular King of Great
Britain and Emperor of the Indies. The
King of Great Britain is mere figure
head, with few functions of any impor-
tance outside of his social duties. but
it is admitted by all that Edward VII
! played his part with dignity and grace
and did all, and did It well. that King
| could be expected to do. He presided
at cornerstone layings, lent his pres
! ence to any movement that looked for
the good of his people, and gained a
! very high reputation as diplomat.
This latter was something beyond his
| functions, but in the complicated and
intricate system of diplomacy in Eu-
rope the personality of a King still goes
for a good deal. and it is believed that
Edward VII quietly gained very many
points in the game over his strenuous
nephew. the Emperor of Germany.
The highest tribute that can be paid
a deceased monarch comes to Edward
ing achievement by him or Identification
with great causes every Englishman and
English woman feels a personal be-
reavement in his death
So admirably is the political machin-
cry of England adjusted that there is
as little friction in passing the scepter
of power from one hand to another as
tbnrn ic in
dent succeeds another
There is auch speculation as to the
policy and character of the new King |
but this cannot lead to anything. To |
such degree has constitutional Gov
ernment been developed in England |
that the control of affairs is absolutely |
in the hands of a committee of Parlia-
ment, with the King reduced to the |
function of registering and approving
the will of the ministry. Unless the |
new King should be positively bad and
obstinately determined as to the old
time notion of being really a King and
governing, his influence will be merely
nominal. More than $50 years ago the
English fought out the question of the
Kings active participation in the Gov
ernment, and decided it adversely. Since
that time all the tendencies have been
in the direction of divesting him more
and more of real influence, and the new
King will undoubtedly be as content as
his recent predecessors to let things
stand as they have been under his faith
er and grandmother. 1t is not likely
that he will even attempt to use his
influence in. the reformation in the
House of Lords. upon which the people
of England seem bent. Otherwise
George V seems a pleasant. capable sort
of person.. who will devote himself to
his social functions, and altho he may
never become as popular as his father,
he will still be satisfactory King. a
thoro Englishman, and devoted to the
interests. the prejudices and the pecu-
liarties of his people.

The politicians are much interested
in the appointment of Robert S. Sharp,
of Tennessee. as Chief Post Office In
spector. This Office is one thru which
political influence can be most effec-
lively exercised. as he is the chief field
man Of the service. and his recommen-
dations as to appointments and changes
have great weight. When the Civil Ser
vice League questioned him with regard

from doing SO, then much prefer turn

An effort is being made to popularize
Porto Rico coffee in this country. Porto
Rico raises fhe best coffee in the world,
but the demand for 1T has been very
small. One of the propositions is to
allow packages of Porto Rico coffee
weighing not more than two pounds to
be sent thru the mails free to possible
customers, so as to familiarize them
with the article and develop liking
for it. The plan is likely to meet with
strenuous opposition from the mer-
chants who have made large invest
ments in Brazilian coffee.

FoRthe first time for decades, if not
centuries. England will have a King
who speaks idiomatic English. George
/ hardly spoke a word Of the language,
and George ii was little better. George
III was born In England, but he knew
French and German better than he did
English. which he always spoke badly
and wrote worse. His son, George ",
spoke and wrote better English, but 1t
still had a decided German twang,
which was also true Of his brother, Will
liam ". who succeeded him. Queen
Victoria spoke English with a decided
German accent. and her son, the late
King, was not free from this. German
tutors have always had the preference
In the households of the Hanoverian
sovereigns. and their pupils have been
infected with their Teutonic manner
isms. George V is. however, a thoro
Engiishman. even in his insularity and
pride of nationality. In his youth he
disliked all foreigners in a thor0ly
British feeling OF superiority. Probably
he is now entirely over this defect, but
he will at least speak and write the
language of his country better than any
of his forbears.

OF the greatest Importance is the
proposition of American capitalists.
with the consent and corporation of
the Chinese authorities, to build a great
new line of railroad thru some of the
richest regions of northern China. 1t
will be remembered that the effort to
take over the present lines in Manchu-
ria by a syndicate of American and
European capitalists came to halt on
account of the opposition of Russia and
Japan. The new proposition contem-
plates a road 1000 miles long. The
Tsitsikar-Aigun Road as it is called
will be of immense advantage in intro
ducing American and European goods
into an enormously profitable market
Influenced by England. Japan has given
her consent, but Russia naturally
frowns upon anything that threatens to
make competition for her trade China,
however, replies that the Russian con-
sent is not needed, and that her pre-
rogative of interference was abolished
thru her failure to protect the railways
against Japan. Our State Department
has taken the greatest interest in the
matter, and is helping along the scheme
as much as possible.

Valdez, Alaska. seems up to the pres
ent time the snowiest place in the
world. at least in Uncle Sans domin-

snow fell to the depth of so feet last
Winter. This depth could not be main
tanned. however. against the rain and
the frequent bursts of hot sunshine. and
the average depth was about Is feet.
Business was carried on by electric

Roosevelts alarm as TO race suicide
is emphasized by the census retarns.
Last year 1000 American mothers only
had 81 children born to them, while
the same number of Italians had 175.
Spanish mothers had 1913, English 92
and Germans sc children 70 every 900
mothers. Even the French were very
much ahead OF the natives. with rs
children born to every 1000 mothers.
If this condition does not radically
change. this country will soon become
as thoroly Latinized as Italy or France.
