Character Study of the
Distinguished Sovereign
Who Was Europe's First
Diplomat and Read of
the Greatest Empire In
History of the World.
By JAMtS A. EDGE'ITON.
PERHAPS the chief trait of King
Edward VII. was tact. He was
the master of form, of fash
ion. of etiquette. He was an
embodiment of that much misused
\vonl "Buuiloniiin." an iucuruatiou OT
t l ie conventional and the correct. He
was high priest of the gospel of cus
tom. With him courtesy was a fiae
art and usage was the higiust authori
ty. While his life knew many scan
dals, they were so decorous that they
were forgiven. Ele was the gentleman
even in his vices As Prince of Wales
his role was a difficult one—difficult in
the sense that, while he was next to
the throne and often called upon to
represent the throne, yet he must never
overstep the bounds and assume any
of the prerogatives of the crown. The
universal testimony is that he was let
ter perfect in the role. As king he
showed another aspect of the same
quality, lie was his own foreign min
ister, the tirst diplomat of Europe.
Here be was in a larger field of form,
the etiquette of nations. !t was the
one field which by habit and training
he 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 had set about his office. To
put it in a word, he never made breaks.
Despite his punctilious regard for
the formalities, it is said that the late
' mmmmm 11 m mmmmmmm■ i ■ ————J
THE LATE KING EDWARD VII
king personally disliked fuss and
feathers. If so he managed to conceal
the fact most effectually. He prob
ably had more fuss and feathers than
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
amusing that modern up to date na
tions rig out their kings In plumes aud
glitter and ribbons like a schoolgirl or
a butler, but perhaps it is no mor?
amusing 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 uot like fuss and feath
ers the fact is much to his credit.
His Genial Popularity.
Another thing is to be said in his
favor. Aside from his office, he was
popular as a man. This was true
when he was Prince of Wales and
true when he 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 he would have been elected by an
Immense majority. An amusing though
touching illustration of his 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! He?" was the reply. "Dont
cher know? That's 'ls most gryshus!" |
"What! The king?" 1
"Yuss: that's 'im. right enough."
Surprise was expressed that the eu
cort was so small. How were these
two policemen to protect the king in
case of a row? The driver laughed.
"Why, 'oo's goin' to 'urt 'im, mister?
There ain't no one in London 'ud touch
a 'air of 'is 'ead. 'E's a good bloke, 'e
is."
This expressed the feeling of the
man in the street, who in the case of
danger would have been his sover

eign's volunteer bodyguard. It was
the conviction that Edward was "a
good bloke." which was felt not only
throughout Great Britain aud her colo
nies, but in practically all lands, that
gave him his hold on the heart of the
world. Fiis efforts to SDJ thi> Boer
war and magnanimous treatment of 1
the burghers, his friendship for peace
and diplomatic alliances with other I2u-*
ropean nations looking to a prevention
of war. his aloofness from factionism
and party, his personal leaning toward
democracy, also toward advancement
aud humanitarian measures, his kind
ly attitude to Ireland and furtherance
of liberal concessions in her behalf,
his gentlemanly and considerate bear
ing, his exploits as a hunter of big
game, his success as a farmer and
raiser of prize stock, his popularity
among the tenants on his estates, his
social qualities and reputation as a
good fellow and sport, his model quali
ties as a husband and father, his com
mon sense and tactful deportmeut, the
universal good will left him as a leg
acy by his mother—all these, coupled
with the fact that he was head of the
greatest empire in history, combined
to give Edward VII. an enviable place
in the world's esteem.
The World's First Gentleman.
He was not a great man perhaps,
not a genius In any sense of the word,
not a might}- captain, not a reformer
or a leader of new departures, but an
eminently safe man, with sound prin
ciples, good impulses and attractive
human qualities. He will probably
not occupy a large place In the world's
history, but will be remembered as a
likable man in spite of his crown. So
long as there must be kings it Is a
pity there are not more of his type.
Perhaps the best thing about him was
that he could efface himself, knew his
place and kept it, was never afflicted
with that disease sometimes observed
among rulers—a swelled head. He had
enough poise to refrain from making
himself a laughingstock. He never
took himself too seriously. He was
sane, wise and comfortable, an en
larged edition of a good natured Eng
lish squire. While he was not a mere
figurehead, neither did he make him
self a nuisance. He did not meddle
with things that did not concern him.
avoided the ridiculous attitude of try
ing to pose as a universal overseer.
Even before he became king he was
generally acclaimed as the world's
first gentleman, and it was his per
sonal quality quite as much as his
heirship to the throne that gave him
this primacy.
Edward VII. was born in Bucking
x ham palace Nov. 9, 1841. "Is it a
boy?" asked the Duke of Wellington
of the nurse. "It's a prince, your
grace." answered the indignant wo
man. It was a distinction that would
be appreciated by a toady. The world
is thankful for the fact that it was a
j boy as well as a prince and that he
grew lip to be a man as well as a king,
i In the home circle the future king
1 was called Bertie. He showed no
startling originality either in youth or
afterward. In all his long life he said
nothing that the world considered
worth quoting or remembering. While
he had titles, offices and distinctions
by the score, the only things he ever
actually achieved by his own efforts
were the winning of the Derby and
| the many prizes he to»k for blooded
stock reared on his estate at Sandrlng
ham. Measured from the intellectual
side, his life was sufficiently common-

place. Yet he was finely educated, had
the most distinguished private tutors
and finished his university course at
Oxford. He spoke several languages
with ease and in his day was perhaps
the best royal linguist in Europe. The
gift of many tongues is a social ac
complishment, and in anything that
pertained to social life he was at home.
The first really important event in
Edward's life was his visit to the
United States and Canada in ISGO.
While in Washington he stayed with
President Buchanan at the White
House. On a visit to Mount Vernon
he planted a chestnut tree by the side
of the grave of Washington, the man
who had whipped the prince's royal
ancestor. George 111. There is evi
dence that Albert Edward did not care
much for King George, however, since
he was inordinately fond of Thackeray,
who lashed the four Georges with a
Whip as cutting as that of Junius. It
is not on record that this trip to the
United States had anything to do with
Queen Victoria's friendship for the
north during the civil war, yet it Is by
no means impossible that her mind
was unconsciously influenced by talks
with her eldest son and prospective
successor. The very fact that he had
been here and knew the situation at
first hand would cause her to seek
light from him. Americans may there
fore owe the dead king more than
they know.
Loyal to Hi 3 Friends.
One of the most admirable traits of
the king was his loyalty to his friends.
It mattered not what fate overtook
them, his hand was open to them still
There is the well known case of the
officer in the Boer war who came home
practically disgraced, but who found
no change iu his former crony and
then royal master. As Prince of Wales
Edward had not access to state se
crets, but this was more than made
up to him by his freedom to form
friendships with leading men all over
Europe. One of the strangest and
closest of these associations was with
Gambetta. the republican leader of
France. It was one of the most con
spicuous intimacies of the prince's life,
but was by no means the only indica
tion of his liberal tendencies.
There must have been a peculiar
charm about the person and manners
of this king fbat gave him such sus
tained popularity throughout life, a
popularity that enabled him to set the
fashions for the English speaking
world. So universal was the liking for
him that even the scandals blazoned
abroad were unable to shake It. To
day about all the world remembers of
the most notorious one of these epi
sodes is the phrase coined concerning
his efforts to protect the name of a
woman, "He perjured himself like a
gentleman."
Another charming trait of his char
acter was his loyalty to his mother.
Before his accession he uniformly for
bade the drinking of his health stand
lug, remarking that he was only a
subject. He went often to the theater,
but refused to have his coming or go
ing noticed or announced. He also in
sisted on paying for his boxes and or
dered that if he were late the play
should not wait for him. The same
thoughtfulness for others was shown
In other ways. Lord Savile, who often
entertained the king, was once asked
about his royal guest.
"My dear sir," he replied, "you
would never know that he is other
than an ordinary guest. He has the
utmost consideration for every one,
down to the servants, and nothing an
noys him more than to think he has
put any one out of the way. He falls
In with any suggestions made for his
entertainment, and I have in my time
had many guests who occasioned me
considerably more trouble."
His Marriage a Love Match.
The marriage of the Prince of Wales
to Alexandra of Denmark was due to
a love match. One of the incidents
still remembered was the presentation
of a ring to the bride, the setting of
which was made of precious stones
whose initial letters spelled his home
name, "Bertie." They were a beryl,
an emerald, a ruby, a turquoise, a Ja
cinth and a second emerald. In his
public treatment of his wife and sons
the king always showed the same nice
observance of the proprieties and con
ventions that marked all the other af
fairs of his life.
That this courtesy was natural and
not assumed Is revealed by an old
story of a fire and a reporter. The
Prince of Wale 3 one day went to a fire
with the Duke of Sutherland. Want
ing to know the details, he asked them
of a newspaper man. At the end of
the Interview he banded the scribe a
cigar. Tearing a sheet out of his note
book. the reporter carefully wrapped
this up and put it In his pocket. "Don't
you smoke?" asked the prince. "Oh.
yes. your royal highness." answered
the reporter, "but I am not likely ever
to get another cigar from the Prince of
Wales." The prince laughed and, oace
more producing his cigar case, said.
"You bad better have another one—
this time to smoke."
King Edward was aboat five feet
eight inches tall and weighed in the
neighborhood of 200 pounds. He was
not especially devoted to athletics or
exercise, but did more or less hunting
and spent as much time as possible on
his farm at Sandringham. He was an
inveterate smoker, was fond of mid
night dinners and liked the pleasures
and comforts of life.
In the field of statesmanship his
most conspicuous activity was In the
line of composing difficulties. He was
ever patching up quarrels among bis
friends and after he came to the
throne enlarged bis pacific efforts to
the courts of Europe. In future, there
fore, he will probably be best remem
bered as the peacemaker.

Program
The graded school closed the
most successful term last Friday
that has been known in the his
tory of the school. Prof. Staley,
who has been principal for three
years, past, well x deserve* the
credit for the splendid manage
ment and rapid progress of the
pupils which have prevailed
since the beginning of his work.
Owing to the limited auditori
um space, caused by using a
large portion of the rear end for
class rooms, a program of elabor
ate exercises could not be ren
dered, and, as it was impossible
to have, as heretofore, exercises
by the entire school, the tenth
grade skillfully rendered a num
ber of original productions in the
morning at 10.30, after which
diplomas were awarded. The
program follows:

Among the essa>s "Character
Building" by Miss Kirk and
"Dominion of Mud" by Miss
Harris, were suggestive ones,
Earl Whisenhunt's oration on
"The Dignity of Labor" was
well delivered. The entire pro
gram was beautifully and skill
fully executed.
After the awarding of diplomas
a prize, a fountain pen, was pre
sented to Miss Lois Long. At
the beginning of the term Mace
& Rhodes, now J. O. Rhodes, of
fered a fountain pen as a prize
to the boy or girl who improved
most in penmanship during the
term. The prize was presented
by Rev. J. G. Garth and it was
his expressive desire that the
recipient of this handsome prize
write as many good things with
the pen as was her penmanship
artistic.
Previous to the exercises the
regular monthly banner was
presented to the ninth grade.
This banner had been presented
monthly to the grade having the
best attendance.
In addition to the regular hon
or roll, which was published
monthly Prof. Staley had pre
pared an annual honor roll and
all those who had not missed a
day during the term were placed
on this list. In reading this hon
or roll Prof. Staley asserted that
he was informed that Miss Es

a day in three years and that
William McComb had been pres

of school in the present building.

MR. R. L. DAVIS SPEAKS
Superintendent of the Anti-
Saloon League Preaches to
a Big Congregation in
Presbyterian Church
Rev. R. L. Davis, superinten
dent of the State Anti-saloon
preached to a congregation which
completely filled the First Pres
byterian church on Sunday night,
!in spite of a rainy night. He
found the 28th chapter of Isaiah
particularly applicable to present
day conditions, taking his text
from the 2nd verse. He said:
"The duty of overthrowing
this great evil of liquor is laid
upon the church." He paid a
high tribute to the Prohibition
party, and said it was actuated
bv the spirit of Almighty God.
"As to the two old parties, sir,"
continued the speaker "they
will look into the face of King
Alcohol and say, "What wilt
thou have me to do?' "
"No chamber of commerce has
' ever taken action to drive out
liquor, on the ground that it in
i terfered with commerce.
4 'The church of God will never
i be able io do this work as long as
;we allow the agencies of Satan
jto exist that interfere with tem
perance. This is a battle God
has laid upon His church. Old
| Isaiah said, 'God has a mighty
land strong One'; and money can
not prevail against God's son.
"The anti-saloon League is the
agent of God's church to fight
• the liquor traffic. It is our Bap
j tist brethren who must be given
I the credit in 1902 for first taking
, steps to organize the anti-saloon
! league. Then there was Dr.
McKelway, of the Presbyterian
church; Mr. Clarkson, of the
Episcopal church; Mr. Johnson,
of the Christian church; Dr. Ivey,
of the Methodist church; Mr.
Broughton, and Mr. Bailey, of the
Baptist church, who rallied to
the cause.
' 'The first thing to do is to
teach the children the danger of
drink. The scientific knowledge
of liquor is what Isaiah is talking
about when he says, 'Line upon
the and precept upon precept."
"Then again we must fight
this battle by overthrowing the
liquor politician. The scornful
j men in the chapter read who
' have 'made an agreement with
hell' are the liquor politicians,
j "Whether the liquor comes
| from a bar-room, a blind tiger, a
| drug store, a distillery the result
i is the same.
"The liquor coming in jugs has
i the same old effect. It won't be
long till we get national legisla
tion to stop this jug trade. If we
can drive out the bar room can't
we stop the jugs! If we can dam
up a river can't we dam up a
branch?"
"The president of the United
States is committed to help us in
every way possible."
The speaker paid his respect to
"Old Joe Cannon," who, he said,
stood in the way of this legisla
tion. "If the Democrats and In
surgents can't get him out of the
way, the Almighty will soon do
so, for Cannon is over 80 years
old."
"Brethren,l don't believe there
are enough devils in hell or liquor
politicians in Washington to keep
us out of this legislation much
longer."
Mr. Davis said the near-beer
saloon and the locker system is
' going too. "Why, every locker
owner in the city of Charlotte is
is now under indictment."
The speaker commended the
action of Gov. Haskell of Oklaho
ma who, when officers of a coun
ty in his state said they couldn't
enforce the law, wrote:
4 'Send me your resignations
and I'll send the state militia
down there. The law shall be
enforced!
4 'lt's easy to criticize officers
; but let's help them. Let's tell
them what we know about law
violation when we hear about
it."
A collection was taken for the
cause and literature distributed.

THE N. C. SYNOD ACTS
[f Scheme Should Go Through
it Would Enlarge Hickory's
Already Splendid Institu
tion of Learning
The consolidation of Mt. Pleas
ant College with Lenoir -College
is probable through action taken
at the North Carolina Lutheran
Synod at Albemarle last week.
A committee was appointed con
sisting of three ministers and
four laymen to negotiate with
the Tennessee Synod as to this
consolidation. The Charlotte Ob
server's correspondent said:
"This resolution provided that
if after sixty days the committee
should fail to come to satisfac
tory terms with the Tennessee
Synod in regard to the institu
tions, they were to give all cities
and towns within the jurisdiction
of the North Carolina Synod a
chance to make offers and that
the place making the best bid, all
other things equal, would get the
new college. It provided, how
ever, for the running of another
term at Mount Pleasant, but the
adoption meant a removal from
Mount Pleasant.
When the report was read by
Rev. W. A. Snider quite an in
teresting discussion immediately
took place. Mr. J. W. Cook of
Concord made a touching plea
for Mount Pleasant. "I love old
North Carolina College,"he said.
"She is as a mother to me; she
has made it possible for me to
grow three blades of grass where
only I could 'grow but one but
for her," He objected to consolid
ation with Lenoir College, stating
that the Tennessee Synod had
not a fee simple title to the col
lege property. He said this was
not mere hearsay, but that he
had investigated the matter and
positively that the title was
invalid. He said Mount Pleasant
was was as good a site as was
necessarv, citing the State uni
versity and other institutions in
the woods, "as he said, as exam
ples proving that it was not ne
essary for an educational intiu
tion to be in a larger place. His
fight was a gallant one. The ma
jority was against him, however,
and the resolition was adoped
and North Carolina College will
shortly be a matter of history.
