The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-15

Before Spain lost Cuba there were
in the kingdom only two classes
kings friends and the kings enemies.
One fattened on easy wealth and roy
al favors, the other won suffering
and death.
Recently SPANS last king sent for
the president of the Republican-So-
cialist union. Said Alfonso, playing a
desperate game gaflantly:
Senior, l consider my role similar
to that of a president of a republic.
1 propose in any future crisis to con-
suit the leaders of all parties. l want
no more closed doors. 1 wish the
doors to be open on both sides
yours and on mine so that repub-
ican and socialist opinion as well as
monarchial opinion, may be conveyed
to me-" .~'-....,.-. -. -
Which is, when one comes to sense
it, as courageous a pronunciamento
as any call to arms!
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-07-15

Premier, is now dead, shot by re-
publican sympathizer. The mess-up
in Spain approaches. Recently in the
Spanish chamber Ministeralists
cheering the king were roared down
by republicans cheering the republic.
So great grew the disorder that the
president finally suspended the sit
ting.
Alfonso realizes his danger and is
gamely trying to parry a coup d'etat.
But for all his undoubted courage and
high spirits his majesty of Spain is
taking no chances of a revolution.
He will never be caught mapping as
was the unroyal ruler who so lately
fled from Portugal.
In and about Madrid tens of thou
sands of soldiers are stationed, men
on whom the king believes he can de-
pend. Fifteen thousand troops are
now quartered in the city, the Escolta
Real (Royal Escort), and the impos-
ing Alabarderos (Household Guards),
now live at the palace door.
The frail young king may look the
typical monarch of sinking state,
but he is in reality a wide-awake ruler
with nerves of steel. His undoubted
courage, his high spirits and taking
ways actually block the growth of re-
publican sentiment in Spain.
Seditious Barcelona saw him walk
ing its streets unattended and unpro-
tected. In riotous Madrid he rode up
in bomb outrage, rose in his stirrups
to make sure no one was hurt, and
with a quiet at is nothing, gentle
men," rode on with his staff.
Bravado? Perhaps. But certainly
bravado which appeals to Spanish
imagination. The lad who was rated
as congenial idiot incapable of keep
ing a crown has made himself the
most popular man in his country.
Should the Spanish republic be de-
