The future of Queen Mary forms an
interesting subject for speculation.
Despite the great anxieties she has
been through during the last year, the
Queen has extremely good health and
it is the ardent hope of her subjects
that she may live many more years.
Tt is Improbable King George Will re-
cover his normal health sufficiently to
resume his full duties as monarch. But
he may live for years, in which case
the immediate future of Queen Mary
would be that she would continue to
act as she is at present unofhcially, as
Queen Regent, performing all those
duties of the monarch which he feels
unable to perform himself, and helped,
of course, by the Prince of Wales.
Queen Knows Possibilities.
But no one knows better than Queen
Mary that If the present situation con-
tinues for any length of time it would
not be for the good of the monarchy.
A monarch who is never seen, who
never performs any of those spectac-
ular functions which appeal strongly to
the imagination of his people, who be-
comes merely name to the mass of
his subjects, must inevitably be to a
great extent forgotten. And when that
happens people begin to think they may
be able to get along without king.
1t is certain Queen Mary will strive
to prevent any such eventuality. OBJ
viously she cannot herself perform all
the spectacular duties of the monarch:
she cannot review troops or present
medals to them, attend naval review
or hold levees.
Need for Princes Support.
These are functions only the Prince
of Wales can perform. and H. r. H.

in which there exists wide difference
between mother and son.
Prince Objects to Plan.
If the Queen could have her way
with her eldest son she would have
him go into residence at Buckingham
Palace and maintain the court there,
in place of his father. But that is the
last thing the prince could wish to do.
Apart from his personal dislike Of
court ceremonial, and his wish to enjoy
the freedom his present life gives him
real distaste of anything that would
suggest he was attempting to step into
his fathers shoes while King George
lives.
Queen Marys future, therefore. will,
as long as the Kings health remains
what it. is, be concerned with keeping
alive the idea of monarchy in the
minds of the Kings subjects, In the
way she thinks best, without receiving
much help from the Prince OF Wales.
But in the event of the Kings death
in the early future the position OF
Queen Mary would become quite differ
ent. The Prince of Wales, when ne
became monarch. could no longer avoid
fulfilling his duties as such and taking
up his residence at Buckingham Palace.
As a Bachelor King.
AS bachelor the prince would f1nd 1t
next to impossible to conduct the court
without the help of his mother. In the
mere matter of the supervision OF the
big servant staff and the general house.
keeping arrangements the Prince could
not possibly depend entirely on a house
keeper
The presence of his mother at the
palace could be a necessity to him, ana,
apart from the housekeeping arrange
ments. without the queens presence at
court the prince could not possibly ful-
fill his social obligations as monarch.
Queen Mary still would remain very
much the Queen. and the prince as
monarch would in many of the afairs
of monarchy remain much under her
influence and guidance. Such would be
the position of Queen Mary as long as
her son remained unmarried.
AS far, therefore, as one can look into

but he executed few other ceremonial
duties. Queen Mary in future will have
to make the best of difficult situa-
ton and induce the Prince of Wales,
as far as she is able. to perform such
duties.
For the rest her majesty will as
often as she can get away from Sand

as many public functions as possible.
And she will CT course, continue to

In doing this Queen Mary would be
fulfilling her destiny; she is a woman
born to shape and mold the lives of
others and to influence the conditions
and circumstances of the world in
which she lives.
Queen Mary never could be a non
entity; her forcible personality and
strong will must assert themselves, how
ever she may be placed in future.
Circumstances have conspired to give
her the opportunity recently to play a
larger and more important part in
affairs of state and at court. And it

PRISON SUSPECTS
HELD IN SOLITARY
Five Confined as Leaders in
New Attempted Colorado
Escape.
By the Associated Press.


CAEON CITY, Colo, November 10
Five men tonight were in solitary con-
flnement as suspects In digging tun-
mel in the grounds of the Colorado
State Prison, work on which in few
more hours would have provided an
easy avenue of escape. The prisoners
obtained tools used in the reconstruc-
tion work while repairs were being
made to the prison, which was the
scene October 8 of a bloody mutiny, in
which 13 men were killed.
More than 700 prisoners were en-
gagged in reconstruction work, making

since the riot.
Makeshift Weapons Found.
Numerous weapons, fashioned from
implements used in reconstruction, and

secreted in various places about the
prison.

investigating the riot adjourned last
night to q time to be selected. Warden
Crawford and Deputy Warden William

Credit in Bankruptcy
Or. Plummcr has Just made a re-

and causes of failure among grocery
stores in Louisville. Ky. where 4l6
stores were examined. This shows
that among 30 stores which were on
the verge of bankruptcy the average
credit loss was several times as great
as among the other 1856. Five OF
them had ratios of bad debts to credit
sales of 3l,3, IFS. 1872. 25 and 37.4 per

for Well-conducted grocery stores Is
less than 0.5 per cent. The fact va

There are three sound principles for

Adequate investigation ought to be
made of the individuals honesty and
ability to pay. A down payment
ought to be required large enough to
insure the seller. Another thing the

to the conclusion that the ratio Of
honesty among Americans is remark
ably high.
OF course there are laws and po-

which restrict opportunities to

that the success of the retail credit

sales and o than half Of all gro

The average bad debt losses Of dc
partnlent stores were only 0.4 per cent

That makes an average for the sew

that there are two classes of persons
responsible for bad debts. those who
can't pay and those who don't want
