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.

First came the Payne-Aldrich s
t&ritf, with its admittedly iniqui- j
tons wool schedule. 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

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.

md a noted sportsman. George V ,
s domestic in his tastes, hates

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.

Ready to Marry
but will only marry a man who trades at

She says: "If he trades at KIMBRELL'S I

Why? Because he can afford to buy lots of
good things to eat from KIMBRELL. His
prices are right, anl?well, everybody who

trades at KIMBRELL'S.
