Diplomat and Head of
the Greatest Empire In
History of the World
Br JAMES A. EDCERTON.
PERHAPS tie chief trait of Kin;
Edward VII. was tact lie was
tie master of form, of fash
ion, of etiquette. He was an
embodiment f that much misused
word "gentleman," an Incarnation of
the conventional and the correct lie
was blab priest of the gospel of cos
torn. With him courtesy was a fine
art and osage was the highest authori
ty. ' While his life knew many scan
dals, they were so decorous that they
wen forgiven. He was the gentleman
even in bis rices. As Prince of WaleB
his role was a difficult one difficult In
the sense that, while be was next to
the throne and often called upon to
represent the throne, yet be must never
virtin the hnnnds Hurt assume an?
of the prerogatives of the crown. The
universal testimony is that he was let
ter perfect !t5 the role. As king he
showed another aspect of the same
quality, lie was bis own foreign min
ister, the first diplomat of Europe.
Here be was In a larger field of form,
the etiquette nf. nation.. "-It was the
one field whk-u by Unlit and training
be was best fitted to fill. ' His nice
observance of the proprieties extend
ed to Internal affairs. While he was
king in fact as well as name, he never
went beyond the close limits that free
England bad set about bis office. To
put It In a word, he never made breaks.
Despite bis punctilious regard for
the formalities, it is said that the late
kins personally disliked fuss and
i feathers. If so he managed to conceal
ithe fact most effectually. He prob-
any other man on earth, except the
kaiser. If he did not enjoy that sort
of thing he was both a great martyr
and a great actor. It does seem rather
I amushig that modern up to date na
t Hons rig out their lring3 in plumes and
glitter and ribbons like a schoolgirl or
a butler, but perhaps it is no more
) arousing than the fact that they have
kings at all. Maybe the two things go
together and are In keeping. But it
is not surprising that the gorge of a
full grown man should rise at it So
If Edward did not like fuss and feath
ers the fact is much to bis credit
" Hi Genial Popularity."

popular as a man. This was true
when be was Prince of Wales, and
true when be was king. It was fre
quently stated that, if Great Britain
were a republic and plain Albert Ed
ward Wettin offered himself as an In
dependent candidate for the presiden
cy be would have been elected by an
Immense majority. An amusing though
touching Illustration of bis general
popularity comes to mind. An Aus
tralian gentleman was once in London
and. observing a carriage with two
mounted policemen in front asked his
own bus driver as to what personage
was Inside the closed carriage.
"What: Her was the reply. "Dont
chcr know? That's fe most grysbusr
"What: The king?' V
"Yuss; thnt's Mm, right enpujrh."
Surprise was expressedthaT the e j
cort was so smnll. How were these
two policemen to protect the king in
case of a row? The driver laughed, -"v
"Why, 'oo's goin' to 'urt.'ii. mister?

This expressed the feeling of the
man in the street, who In the case of
dancer would have been his sover
eign's volunteer bodyguard. It was
the conviction that Edward was "a
Hood bloke," whiCh was felt not only
throughout Great Britain and her colo
