THE CORONATION AND AFTER;

The coronation with all its pomp and
pageantry is over. The crowds have
melted and the British nation resumes
its ordinary life.
That from a spectacular point of view
the coronation was a remarkable sue
cess goes without saying. 1t also show
ed the reverence the English people
have for ancient customs. In fact. it
was a strange blending of the new and
the old, of modern enterprise and spirit
with the musty traditions of bygone
centuries, and in so doing the unbroken
continuance of British institutions was
graphically depicted. 1t must also be
said that in all its features the affair
evinced the loyalty. of the nation and
popularity of the king and queen.
But anyone who imagines that the
coronation will call a halt in the cru
sade against the house of lords and give
a new lease of power to the aristocracy
is much mistaken as to the temper of
the people. They are hard-headed and
practical, and while they may shout
with all fervor and sincerity: "God save
the King" they will also shout, with at
least equal volume: "God save the peo-
ple." And that means the carrying
out of the reforms of Asquith and Lloyd
George and the unbroken march of pro-
gress. The glamor of procession and
show is over, but the sober, every day
life with its bread and butter and social
problems remain.

SOME REASONS WHY.

why should l support my town. is
question every one should put to him
self and honestly consider. The result
would be beneficial both to the individ-
ual and the town. Here are few of
the many reasons he would be sure to
find:
There is his home, and mans first
duty is to his communal home as well as
to his domestic home. Again, local pa
triotism demands it. Love for and pride
In ones town is the duty as it should
ever be the joy of every citizen, and
that patriotism should find constant ex-
preston in furthering its interests. His
town affords him the protection of its
government and laws and guards his
property against fire and other losses.
A man should trade in his town. Its
business men are courteous, willing and
progressive; their stock of goods is
large and varied, and if there is some
thing one wants which they do not carry
they are always ready to secure it. I'm
like catalogue houses, the home mer-
chants help to pay the taxes of town.
they contribute to churches, improve
ments and entertainments. Without
the business men the town would stag
nate and property decrease in value.
The schools of the town provide ample
and satisfactory education for ones
children. and its churches meet and sat
isfy his religious needs and conserve the
moral and spiritual interests of the
community.
Its newspapers keep him informed on
local matters, enlarge his knowledge,
help him in business, minister to his en-
joyment and that of his family. and
promote every wise effort put forth to
help the best interests of the town.

When the prophet giving picture of

our modern cities a street is about the

RECOGNIZING THE REPUBLIC.

1t was fitting that the United States
should be the first of the powers to rec
ognize the Portuguese republic. AS a
nation in which the theory of represen-
tative government and popular sover-
eighty has been worked out more salts
factory than in any other country there
is naturally deep sympathy with an
other nation starting out to pursue the
same lines.
The delay in recognizing the new gov
eminent in Portugal was not unusual,
for it needed time to prove that the
military revolution of last October re-
hected the will of the people. During
the succeeding months many needed re-
forms have been inaugurated and for
midabie obstacles overcome, and there

has taught in one building and for
twenty-five years in one room. She an

thirty days in year.

la FoLLETTE LEARNING.

In last weeks issue of La Fol
lette's magazine, the Wisconsin SEN
ator devotes considerable space to
an analysis of President Tafts post
ton eas to the so-called progressive
and stand patters of the Republican
party. Z.
He sums the matter up and closes
his article in these words: :.
THE Presidents position is no
longer. debatable That is the i'm
portant fact. We are in the midst of
great struggle to curb the forces
of privilege, to restore the govern
ment to the people. The people are
progressiyes. They are standing 10y
ally back Of their representatives,
whom they know TO be faithful to the
progressive policies. Sometimes they
they DO not know where leader
stands; which makes the struggle
harder In the case of President
Taft, all confusion, all doubt is re-
moved. He. must henceforth be
counted among the powerful aggre-
CATION of favored interests that have
for years been exerting every effort
to stamp out the progressives and
the progressive policies. TO this
extent is his declaration of consum-
ing hatred for progressiyes a real
service to the people.
Senator La Toilette seems reluc-
tant to admit the Presidents abso-
lutte submission to the dictates of the
interestst 1t should not have taken
him so longlto have arrived at this
conclusion
President Taft was nominated and
elected by the interests" just as
has been every other President since,
Abraham Lincoln
The interests are the creatures
Of vicious republican legislation for
more than. half a century and that
party is absolutely dominated by
those interests.
Senator La Toilette has come to
admit this fact, but he is still SO
saturated with-the rubber tariff idea
that he and those Republicans who
believe as he does cannot leave the
rotten sinking old Republican ship
and take passage with the so-called
Bryan Democrats and help to wipe
the earth with those standpatters
md conservatives who still believe
that nothing but money can. win cleo
