Commerclalism.

The commercialism of the corona
tion ceremony has had still another
effect. Never a beautiful, though a
rendered positively hideous by the
enormous board grand stand which
fill its streets and public places and
hide Its finest buildings. The whole
front of Westminster Abbey, for ex-
ample, is today concealed behind one
of the frightful piles of boards. A
terrific outcry was raised among
Londoners themselves against the
folly of endangering the historic
structure in this manner, for in the
event of fire, nothing could save it
from destruction. To all such com
plants, however, the dean and chap
lain mindful of the fortune they will
reap from the sale of seats replied
that an efficient guard is being main
tanned, and that in any event the
abbey is insured for $250,oOo

On the Eve.

On the Eve
lBy Charles P. Stewart London Cor
respondent of the United Press.1
LONDON, June 1s.-England is to-
day on the eve of the most spectacu.
lar event in her history, the crowning
on Thursday of King George v and
Queen Mary Not that the crowning
of this royal pair is of any greater
Importance than similar events in the
past, but that the king and queen,
both with love for ceremonials and
England and the world at large ap-
parentlv clamoring for such pa
geant, have combined to make the
function the most sumptious of its
kind.
Arrangements are today completed
After months of planning and execut-
ing, those in charge of the affair
realize although with nervous appre.
hension, that all has been done that
can be done. So much ado has been
made over the coronation that it is
only natural that the expectancy of
the people should be not unmixed with
misgivings.
Primarily the coronation day
pageant is intended to impress the
kings subjects with the greatness of
the institution of royalty and to Gre
ate that enthusiasm for it which in
spite of all the royalists efforts is SO
inevitably dying out
With the decline, however, of its
political influence it is certain that
never in the history of such displays
has any been turned so effectively to
commercial account as the present
one. From all over the world tourists
and money have been pouring into
England. For weeks to come the
tourists will remain and the sum
which London merchants and land
lords will gather in from them is in.
calculable.
In their greed, the traders have, in
fact to some extent overreached them.
selves. The throng of visitors in the
city is to be sure enormous, but there
is little doubt that it would have been
far greater had not so many people
been frightened away by advance news

they would be bled If they came
