Greece Hopes
New, King Will
Shun Politics

Athens, Jan. 1g.-(MaiD .--GeorQe,
the new King Of Greece. has probably
become convinced by this time that IL
depends on him and on him alone TO
keep his throne. and that he has moth
ing to fear from the Republican scare.
Foreign observers do not consider the
Greek people ripe for Republican
regime, and argue that the sooner the
promoters Of the Republican idea real
ize that fact the better it will be for
the country.
George was popular as a prince. and
there Is no reason why he should not
be popular as king. AS for Elizabeth,
the Queen, her beautiful and kind
~ features and her dignified bearing
have created an excellent first impress
sion on the people. If the young SOW
crcisns keep aloof from politics. 1t Is
felt, nothing will come to mar the hap
pincsa Of their reign.
An ideal sovereign for Greece was
the late George j. observant Greeks de-
clare, and his grandson. George III can
not do better than follow in his steps.
George l never intcrfered in internal
politics any further than he was al
lowed to by the Constitution. Never
during his long reign of 40 years did
he take unfair advantage Of his royal
prcrogatives: never did he refuse to
sign a decree approved by the cabinet.
In this latter connection it is not un
interesting to chronicle q remark once
made by the late King Alexander, the
present kings brother, who succeeded
Constantine after his first dethrone-
ment. Talking to friend one day
Alexander said:

would have reigned longer had he not
been murdered. My father used to
read the DEGREES, and he lost his throne.

King George had an amusing cxpe-
rience the other day. A retired Amer
lean Admiral asked for an audience OF
his majesty. who willingly accorded II.
On the day appointed, the admiral went
to the palace and was Immediately
ushered into the kings study. His
majesty wore an admirals uniform for
the occasion, and welcomed the Amer
lean admiral with his usual good
natured affability. SO simple was the
king in his manner that the American
admiral did not realize that he was in
the royal presence; he believed that he

CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER

There appear to be several very
good reasons connected with Au-
Susta's proposed school bill why
concentrations are in order
When the proposition to make
change in the school board was first
advanced one did not need an over
stimulated imagination to sec all laid
the kindlings for lively row. That
the row didn't cventuate may be at
tiibuted to several factors.
y, First--and We would say, foremost
the good repute of the school adj
min!stration in the city of Augusta.
No one entertained for a moment any
= idea that it was not doing honestly
and zealously what 1t thought to be
required for the good of the schools.
The burden Of the complaint APP
pearcd to be that the board was over
jealous. that it was seeing with an
eye single to the schools and some
what unmindful of other demands on
; the taxpayers.
Such a condition of affairs offers
ground on which those of conflicting
views may meet for consultation. an
opportunity which otherwise would
not have been had.
Second, there were level heads
who foresaw the folly of a feud and
appealed to common sense and fair
play and did not appeal in vain, be-
cause there were both common and
a sense of fair play in the people to
whom they appealed.
SO it happily comes about that Au
gusta is enabled to go before the
Legislature with n reasonable request
supported by public sentiment.
We believe the result will be found
gratifying, that 1t will be rather an
Improvement than a compromise of
conflicting ideas. 1t will bring the
school meeting month earlier, it
will require that the public shall be
informed as to what will be taken up
at that meeting, so if people vote in
ignorance of conditions it will be
their own fault; it will require the
school board in making up its budget
to consult with the mayor and the
finance committee and it will require
any of them or any member of the
board. who may have objections to
tho proposal to be laid before the
school meeting, to be at that meet
ing and state the objections.
This arrangement ought to afford
people such information as they may
require to act intclisently If they
do not take advantage of it, if the
tax payers do not look after their
own affairs when they have been
given opportunity 50 to do. then let
they pay the taxes without grum-
bling.
Requiring the school year accounts
to coincide with the fiscal year of the
city will have advantages and dis
advantages. 1t evidently will be
more difficult for the school board to
mike estimates but it is believed the
advantages will be more than COM
pensatory.
60 Not only under these changes
will the school matters be kept out of
politics but the city government, as
should be, and the school board will
be drawn into closer cooperation.
