LONDON, July 9.-(Special Dispatch to
The Bee)-King George is making good.
That is the general verdict and the new
king is becoming very popular with the
general masses of the English people.
King George is even more of a democrat
than was King Edward He always mixed
with the common people and the laboring
classes, and for many years has taken an
exceedingly active part in the work OF bet
tering the conditions OF the working classes
OF Great Britain. He has just decided TO
become patron and president of not only
all OF the charities with which King Ed
ward was associated, but Of numerous
other charities in which he was personally
interested before his coming TO the throne
King George has just received list of
the charities King Edward patronized, and
although several which the easy going
King Edward loaned his name to may be
dropped from the list as questionable, King
George will be president OF more charitable
/societies than any other man living.
Memorial to Edward VII.
1t has also been practically decided by
King George that the form the great ma.
tional memorial England win erect to King
Edward VIII be the raising OF a great fund
of 26O0O,000 to place the hospitals In the
factory basis, and It is understood that
King George will soon make an announce
Inent along these lines.
King George is not believer In erecting
monuments of stone and bronze. He be-
lieves the greatest memorials that can be
erected TO any ruler Is the founding of hos
pitfalls. charities and institutions that will
= work for tho welfare OF the masses Of the
people.
