THE PAssINc KINGs-

Long since the time has passed
when king was likely to die in bat
tie covering the retreat of his van
qu1shed troops, or leading them for.
ward victorious. When a king iufshel
suddenly now 1t is the work Of a bombs
throwing anarchist with good delivery
and control. The king no longer leads
his troops in war, or even ventures
near the danger zone in such an event
nor Is war so much a steady job as II
used to be in the brave days Of old
when a king was a regular fellow.
But the death of Frederick VIII, Of
Denmark, as a plain citizen in a for
eign land, alone, unknown and for a
time unidentified, was the strangesi
demise OF royalty on record. Yet il
did but make a chapter in the day's
news. Christian x became king and
Denmark drove on as before, a safe
and sane and prosperous little coun-
try, not to be bothered greatly even
by the passing of a well-beloved mon
arch So it was that Britain moved
on uninterruptedly with no great
change in affairs or the manner of liv-
ing after the death of Edward VIII.
and there is no nation Of Europe, prob
ably, even the domain of the agrees
sive kaiser, but would move OH much
the same across a shift of sovereigns.
In the fact that kings no longer die
at the head of their legions in war
fare as Of old, is found the answer in
part. For, as the king is eliminated
from the heroic figures of the battle
field, so is he effaced from most of
the other really important functions of
government. From the western world
at least has passed the one man coun-
try, and even in the older Orient the
same change is pretty generally ap-
parent Raised to relish royalty, a
people may give him all honor, but
the time has passed when they give
him all power, or let him take 1t. And
the head that wears a crown may be
more uneasy still for the people. more
and more. are becoming the ruling
class. and the inevitable evolution Is
that the time will come when the peo-
pie will cease to pay a king a salary
because he happened to be born that
way.-Atchison Globe
