One of the most pleasant
afternoons in the history of

the first meeting of the club
since it's organization at which
every member was present.
In spite Of a few threatening
clouds, the entire membership
rode out to the home of Miss
Thompson at half-past three and
were received at the door by our
hostess and her mother. After
a few minutes passed in pleasant
conversation we we're presented
with a musical contest in which
we were requested to test our
knowledge of music. Four cor
rect papers were handed in and
in the cut for the pize Miss EN-
ma Higley was the lucky winner
OF a silver DelC PIN.
Delightful refreshments of
ice-cream and cake were served
in the parlor and afterwards a
large watermelon was cut on the
perch. This to most of the guests
was the first watermelon of the
season and was thoroughly en-
joyed by every one.
Several pieces of ''rag-time"
were then rendered bv our talent.

KING EDWARDS
DEATH.

OEFN IT.
In the constitutional crisis that
confronts Great Britain the death Of
King Edward creates a situation Of
the gravest political moment.
Around his personality had been
steadily centering the issues upon
which hinge fundamental changes in
the form Of the nations government.
Within his hands repose the re.
sponsibility Of dealing with condi-
lions which involved a political revo-
luton. The house OF commons had
taken a radical position for the aboli-
ton Of the power OF the peers. The
refusal of the house Of lords to as
sent to it own degradation was as
certain as the passage of time. with
in a few weeks at the most the king
must nave decided TO take his stand
on one side or the other, to lend
himself to the movement to demolish
the hereditary rights of the peers
or to arrest ii until the people II
his kingdom took grounds against
them at the polls.
In such a juncture the influence
Of the throne with both political par
ties is Of supreme importance. A com
promise has seemed out Of the ques-
ton, but the strong loyalty Of the
people TO King Edward personally
and the prevailing confidence IN his
political sagaeity have helped to les
sen public anxiety over the most Sc
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1910-05-14

rious political conflict that Great
Britain has known since the time Of
William ". That anxiety win now
be renewed when an untried and in
experienced King is suddenly called
to the throne.
While the Government OF Great
Britain long ago passed out of the
hands OF the monarch. by a dramatic
turn OF events within the last few
months King Edward had been made
the dominant figure on the political
stage. The work of the Government
rested wholly with the ministers and
with parliament, but TO him as the
final referee, short only Of the peo-
pie of England the government
would have been compelled to appeal
for assistance in carrying OFT policies
necessarily repugnant to his views.
What his successor may do when
suddenly raised TO the throne, with
what skill and courage he may face
the insistent demands of democratic
England. are now questions OF press
ing significance. The crown in many
decades in Great Britain has never
occupied a place Of 50 great oppor-
tunity Tor progress or reaction.
1t is a situation with which King
Edward VII. was peculiarly fitted to
deal He had great popularity lie
was tactful. He knew the world Ee
understood men. and had nearly half
century Of experience with import
ant political affairs.
In England the King does not
rule. but no other man in the realm
is capable of exerting so much polit-
ical power if he kows how TO use it
without asserting a right to use il.
In this respect no British monarch
ever understood his trade better than
Edward VII. and while his reign has
been brief his place in history viii
be high.
There is no other monarch in
Europe whom the civilized world
could not better have spared. and
at no other time since he ascended
the throne could his death have
meant so great q loss to the British
people.-New York World.
