Such a system should be extensive

night in the presence of his family, af-
ter an illness Of less than a week.
which was serious hardly more than
three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according to-
the laws OF the kingdom. without Off
cial ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the Lord Mayor
the announcement of his fathers
death, in pursuance of custom. His
telegram read:

that my beloved father, the king,
passed away peacefully at l1:45 to-
night. George

Of the kings friends are convinced
that worry over the critical political
situation which confronted him with
sleepless nights, aggravated, If it did
not cause the fatal illness.

The intelligence that the end of
King Edwards reign had come was
not a surprise at the last. The peo-
pie had been expecting to hear II any
hour since the evenings bulletin was
posted al Buckingham palace and
flashed throughout the kingdom. The
capital received Il without excitement
but sadly. for the king with his own
people was unquestionably one OF the
most popular rulers in the world
All who knew the king expected
that his death would be sudden, and
It would not have occasioned great
surprise II IL had occurred without
warning at some social function, as
a result of heart trouble, Almost TO
the end he refused to take TO his bed,
and was sitting up yesterday in a
large chair. so the palace stories go,
corroborating the description of him
as an unruly patient. which Dr. or
gave TO Vienna interviewer.
One OF the last utterances attrib-
uted to King Edward was: We'll
it's all over. but | think have done
my duty" He seemed to have reach
ed a full realization that his end was
fast approaching.
The thoughts Of England turn large
ly toward the new king-what poll
cies he is likely to follow, what are
the prospects OF successful reign
George V never has been as wei
known or as close to the people as
his father was, when he was Prince
OF Wales. Hence he never was Sc

All kinds of state land board
scandal is eminating from Boise
these days. Mr.. Church denies
things he has been charged with
and says he will show up Brady
at the proper time, while the
chief executive says he has a
choice assortment of tricks up
his sleeve ready to show down if
Church forces his hand. 1t is
also said that the examination is
being held behind closed doors
and that a full examination of
the doings of the state land
board will not be held until after
election. This is not just to the
people of the state. If there has
been crooked work going on at
Boise among the members of the
land board the people have a
right to know it. If the matter
is hushed up now it will reflect
on Governor Brady in the coming
campaign and do him untold
damage. If he is without faint
in the matter he owes it to his
state, to himself and to his party
to show up the guilty parties and
fire them bodily or have them
taken care of by the laws of the
state. At all events, the people
should know the truth.
