C.. MAY 12. 1910. The Crisis in England. The death of Kin# Edward VII, j it is said, will result in a lull in politics in that much stirred j country. Liberal and Unionist, , Nationalist and Laborite, must, at the behest of public opin ion, lay aside their weapons. The belief in political circles in England is that by tacit consent i the warring factions will give the new ruler, George V, an , opportunity to accustom himself to his new duties before forcing j upon him the decision of so ' momentous a question as the | 1 humbling of the lords. j How King Edward would have I decided no one knows. How his j * successor will decide is a question of intense interest. In the event that a general I' election is called for in tho sum mer, the situation hardly will he c clarified, as the result is unlikely 1 to be decisive for either party. But one thing is certain. De- . lay will not help the embattled , house of lords. That much attacked body is still under the ' severest sort of fire. If the peers 1 persist in their recalcitrancy, doubtless the premier, provided ' that the Asquith administration 5 remains in power, will appeal to King George tc create enough ' new peers to overbalance the present Unionist majority in the 1 upper house. This procedure 1 has been threatened on previous 1 occasions, notably the election J reform campaign, but has never proved necessary, the peers pre- 1 ferring to y'eld temporarily and 1 retain their power. \ In this case, however, it is . different. The lords and Com- , mons alike seem determined to make it a battle to a finish. ] The lords' power is at stake, and the: temporary delay occasioned . by the death of King Edward will prove of no benefit.

This thing of shreds and patches, the president in the beginning opposed, but finally accepted as the product of his party's leaders. ; Now comes Mr. Taft's pet1 measure, the railroad bill, with its commerce court and merger provisions. The tariff bill passed. The j president then took up the j cudgels for it. He attempted by . ingenious logomachy, inspired by the Payne-Aldrich wing or the regular Republicans to defend the abortion. He went out of his way to praise the bill in the Middle West, where insurgency , presents its grqwing menace to the continued regime of government by the interests. Such may be the history of the railroad bill. If ' the regulars Oil OOonrJ ^ ?? * 1 uuwttu in lurcnig ir. upon the insurgents it will be in distorted form, hardly the .same bill which the president advocated. Then in the event of its passage. President Taft' probably will praise the misfit in hi best terms. Its passage at all, however, is problematical. It is bad enough for a president to attempt to shape legislation, but it is infinitely worse for him to surrender to the dictates of the Republican bosses, and accept, without lesitation, whataoever carefully shaped programme the representative of the interests present ;o him. Another "Sailor King." In George Frederick Ernest Mbert, who on Saturday ascended the English throne as George V, England has a ;ypicallv British monarch. Born in 1865, a second son of King Edward VII and Queen Mexandra, as a youth he ever ,vas a leader in the sports of his nlaymates. His elder brother, i the Duke of Clarence, who died , n his youth, was George's constant companion. Together they jntered the navy, where George ( listinguished himself for ability nnd coolness in moments of langer and stress. In the sum- j mer of 1889 he received high praise by his daring and skillful rescue of a torpedo boat in the ' Channel. The death in 1891 of the Duke )f Clarence changed the whole current of George's life. It put nim in the direct line of succession to the throne, thereby necessitating the ultimate cessation of his active career in the navy. It did not lessen his nterest in things nautical, how- i jver. After his brother's death Prince George took his seat in the house of Lords as Duke of Vork. The following year saw the nnnouncennent of his engagement to Princess Mary of Teck, vhom the Duke of Clarence was to have married. This marriage nf state, which is said to have neen preceded by an earlier non-royal marriage to the laughter of an admiral, seems to nave turned out happily. Six :hildren have been born of the oyal union, which took place in L893. In almost every way the new ving is a contrast to his father. YrI I lltoe M u.u., uivi ? M.M. ???.-> n autlCL.V Illitll md a noted sportsman. George V , s domestic in his tastes, hates lie brilliant life of the capital md is indifferent to all sports >ave shooting. In intellect George V is infinitev superior to his father. Edward i/II was content to let others : .vrite his speeches, and his itterances seldom veered from lie beaten track of the commonplace. George V, on the other land, devotes much time to his lublic speeches, and almost ihvays produces a marked imiresssion. In this respect George V is a contrast to that other Snglish sailor king, William [V, who, despite his popularity ivith his people, was far from j bright. All in all, despite England's oss of Edward's talent for peace-making, England may well ook upon her new king with respect and confidence. * Land owners along Catawba river are complaining of the damage to their crops by the numerous persons who visit the stream on fishing excursions, and several have called at The Times office during the past week and bought trespass cards with which to post their places.
