Peter the Great suffered from con-

LONDON, Aug 26.-Trouble Is a
great clarifier OF the atmosphere. Eng
land has received an overdose. The
result is that the King is being fore
ell to show his hand.
Heretofore his position compared
with nothing 80 much as the convent
emit means for procrastination afforded
by mans wife. In the one instance
the suppositious man. when confront
ed with a knotty problem, says, III
have to ask my wife,"-then goes OFF
and takes counsel with himself, in the
other the various ministers. when con-
fronted with a demand for political d.
rection, say well have to confer with
the King,"--then debate among them
selves. Both wife and King are figure
heads.
All this is being changed, however,
and the change Is being effected by
the rough hand of trouble in the shape
Of political dissensions throughout the
United Kingdom: the Moroccan ques-
ton. and the omnipresent labor disor-
ders that threaten the peace of Great
Britain. In fact trouble has logged the
footsteps of King George since the
first day of his accession and trouble,
In the metaphor!cal guise OF hunts
man, has cornercd His Hajesty and
made him show his teeth.
This result has long been sought for
in every strata of political Britain.
More and more do the politicians,
f1nanciers and thinking men of the
B4itish Isles realize the necessity of a
strong guiding hand at the helm of
the ship of state. and more and more
do they decry the political decadance
that has resulted from the factional
governing of the mighty nation. 1t has
come to a question of revolution with

a monarchy with monarch of Napo.
Icons character at its head.
The time has come for action. The
King can no longer hide behind the
skirts of his ministers. He can no lon
ger veil his policies with ambiguity
meet them with equivocation or exc
cute them through consular proxy. He
must either show his hand and prove
himself the master of the countrye
destinies. or strengthen the fast grow.
ing sentiment of dissatisfaction and
republicanism boldly shown among
the masses.
That the King realizes this none
can doubt. His action in pledging his
support to the Governments plan to
create enough "Black-leg peers" to
override the House of Lords and par
ticularly his tacit acknowledgment
of Ireland's fight for Home Rule
through the Veto Bill, have been great
strides In the right direction.
He must meet demand with action
or see monarchial power transmitted
to republican desire.
