The stupendous labor of digging the Panama canal goes on under the Taft rgime so silently. and so efficiently that we hear .not.the creaking of a wheel. One of. the great magazines sent a man to in- vestigate the work, hoping, no doubt, for a scandal and a large demand for its publication. The .man has just returned. He reports. only rapid and business. like . methods and progress. Itis a valuahe ac- count of the great enterprise; but frankly—Its’s dull. Sad that it.takes sensation to add the favor.that gives popular relish. THE INFLUENCE OF ADVERTISING. The influence of advertising - has penetrated into every stratum of life. It is hardly conceivable ' that there is a home in the United States where people read the English lan- guage that has not been' affected by advertising in some manner or other. The effect upon the ‘public mind is educational and elevating . and does much for the education of classes who cannot afford books. In reading advertisments one reads some of the: best worded phrases and most forceful arguments that can be found. The direct - in- fluence advertisements bring ‘upon the reading public is -good orbad, according to the Ad.” The truth is the most essential requisite-and - has its effects accordingly. HARRIMAN’S AMBITION. The achievements of the late Mr. Harriman in the ten years preceed- ing his death were tremendous. But when he left Munich last August on his way home he said to ome of his closest associates, “I have only just begun. I hope to do in the next ten years as much as I have done in the past ten.” And that he would have done so had he lived few who knew the real Harriman doubt, When he died, the vastness of his power, the extent of his..possessions, the strength of his. position, which even vet the public does not. know, startled his closest friends. ..Harri- man’s . ambition .was popularly supposed to be the acquisition of:-an n trans-continental railroad. How little the Harriman mind was koown! Harriman’s ambition was not only to be arbiter of the Ameri- can railroad field, as much as a pri. vate citizen.could be arbiter, but to have a railroad around the world!— From “Had Harriman Lived” in the Metropolitan Magazine for May.

FORT REFUSES A-REQUISITION Declines to Ask.for Extra ‘dition of Armour. LENGTHY ‘REASONS GIVEN' Governor of New Jersey Declares In- dicted Packer Is Not a - Fugitive From Justice, Which- He Held Neces- sary in Order to Issue Papers—De- cision May Result in Dropping Cases Against All Packers Involved. Trenton, J., May 9.—Governor J. Franklin Fort has refused the request of Prosecutor Garven of Hudson coun- ty for a requisition upon the governor of Illinois for the extradition of J. Og- den Armour, director of the National Packing company, who is under indict- ment in Hudson county with other offi- cers and directors of packing com- panles on a charge of conspiracy to unlawfully enhance the cost of meat through the creation of an artificial scarcity of the same. Governor Fort, in refusing to grant the requisition, gave out a lengthy opinfon, in which he sald that when extradition papers are asked for it is necessary that the person whose ex- tradition was desired be a fugitive from justice and, further, that it is essential that the accused person was in-fact in the state of New Jersey at the time of the commission of the alleged offense. The governor says the only evidence before him of the pres- ence in New Jersey of Mr. Armour at or about the time of the commission of the alleged offense was his pres- ence in Hoboken in. March, 1908, to take passage from that city to Europe, and again in June, 1909, upon his re- turn from Europe. Only Passed Through City. The governor goes on to say that the proof before him is barren of any facts warranting an inference that Mr. ‘Armour was in Hoboken for any other purpose than the taking of passage to Europe and returning therefrom. Governor Fort also says that the proof offered as to the presence of Mr. Armour in New Jersey .does not coincide with the days set out in the indictment as the time of the commis- sion of the alleged conspiracy. There are other .applications pend- ing before Governor Fort for the ex- tradition of others connected with the meat packing companies in the West, but when the hearing was sought by counsel for the packers the Armour case was selected as a test one and a hearing was given upon that alone. Whether applications for extradition will now be pressed in the cases of the "other packers will depend upon Prosecutor Garven. Unless . some new point can be raised by the prosecutor the applica- tions, it is said, will result in a re- fusal by the governor to grant requisi- tions upon the governor of Illinois. ROOSEVELTS AT STOCKHOLM Greeted at Station by Prince Wilhelm and Escorted to Palace. Stockholm, May 9.—The Roosevelts, on arrival here, were received at the railway station by Prince Wilhelm, ‘who drove with them to the palace, where they became the guests of the prince and princess, in the absence of King Gustav V., who is in the south of France. United States Minister Graves, the staff of the American legation, the pre- mier and other members of the Swed- ish cabinet were also at-the station to receive the American guests. An immense crowd surrounded the receiv- ing party and cheered as the train drew in. A choir stationed on the platform sang “My Country, 'Tis of Thee,” and the Swedish national an- them.

People. ON ‘THRONE ‘FOR" NINE-YEARS From Early Manhood He Was the Most Active and Prominent Mem- ber of the.British Royal Family.and Since Ascending the Throne He Dis- played Tact.and.Judgment, as Well as Conscientious Principle as King and Ruler. Edward VIL, late king of .Great Britain, long known as Albert Edward, prince of Wales, was born Nov. 9, 1841, at Buckingham palace, London. Since:reaching: manhood: he has:been continuously before the British pub- lic as the most active and prominent member of the English royal family, figuring in innumerable court -and civic functions at home and abroad, besides visiting foreign countries and in numberless ways: doing unwearied work for the crown .and nation. Among all ranks of the British peo- ple King Edward has been unquali- fledly a favorite and since his acces: sion to the throme he had given evi- dence of tact and judgment, as well as of conscientious principle as king and ruler. King Edward died in the ninth year of his reign and the sixty- ninth of his life. King Edward’s early education was conducted by private tutors, but later he studied at the universities of Ox- ford, Edinburgh and Cambridge. In 1860 he visited Canada and at the in- vitation of President Buchanan he extended his visit to the United States. His reception in this country was so cordial that in after years he often referred to the pleasure it had given him. His visit to ‘America was the be- ginning of a series of journeys which were continued until he ascended the throne as successor to his mother, the late Queen Victoria, in January, 1901. These journeys took him not only to every part of the British domain, but to other countries as well. MIXED WITH ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE. The future king was sharply criti- cised in many quarters for his conduct while Prince of Wales. His uncle, the emperor of Germany, was particularly disgusted with him, because of his: democratic habit of mixing with all classes of people, not only at home, but abroad. Emperor William ex- pressed his disapproval in terms so strong that it angered his nephew and' when the latter came into his own as' king of England, emperor of India, de- fender of the faith, etc, he had his revenge by getting the better of his uncle in several diplomatic tiffs. It is no secret either that Albert Edward’s great advantage over his uncle lay in his more intimare acquaintance with the people of the various countries. Emperor William knew what his min- isters told him. King Edward knew at first hand what the people who controlled the ministers were think- ing. Consequently, on the interna- tional chess board, Edward was al- ways one or two moves ahead of William. It was in 1863, after his return from a tour of the East, that the prince was introduced .to the privy council and took his seat in the house of lords. It was at the same time that he ggve up his right to succeed to tne duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, which he inherited from his father. QUEEN ALEXANDRA Alexandra, the eldest daughter of the king of Denmark. Six children were born to the king and queen, -Albert Victor, duke of Clarence.and Avondale, the first born and hefr apparent to the throne, was born in 1864 and died in 1892, The present heir apparent is George Fred- erick Brnst Albert, duke of Cornwall and: York, born June 3, 1865, and mar- ried to Princess Victoria May of Teck, Then there are Princess Louise, born in 1867 and married to the Duke of ' Fife, Princess. Victoria, born in 1868, -and Princess Maud,. born in 1869 and married to Prince Charles of Denmark. King Bdward had not been in the best of ‘health since he succeeded to the throne. . There were repeated ru- mors that he. was afflicted with an in: curable malady, but these reports were ‘emphatically. denied from the palace.and the cheerful demeanor of the king himself did much to quiet them. CORONATION DELAYED BY ILL HEALTH, These rumors started with the trou- ble which caused the postponement of his coronation, June 26, 1902, to Aug. 9 of the same year. Two days before the first date set for the ceremony all festivities -were stopped and it was announced that the king must submit to an immediate operation upon his throat. It was reported that the trouble was cancer. This was emphatically denied and the denial was repeated at intervals since, when- ever the king was obliged to submit to treatment or to journey somewhere for his health. ‘When King Edward ascended the throne there was no little anxiety as to the kind of administration he would give. Good people, who feared that he would: continue on a:larger scale some of his exploits as Prince of Wales and administer the affairs of the kingdom along that line, were agreed- bly disappointed. - He-took the moral side of every .issue. - Moreover, he demonstrated that ‘the king of .Eng- land could be a real power in the government. King Edward began by recognizing the fact that his direct| authority amounted to nothing. and,; like the thorough politician he was, he used his knowledge of men and affairs to acquire influence with the real power. The. result was that his ounsel . was given consideration in ul affairs of state. AGCOMPLISHED MUCH FOR*GREAT-BRITAIN. Speaking of what King Edward had accomplished as a diplomat-and peace- maker Sydney Brooks, London corre- spondent of Harper’s Weekly, says! that to weigh the tangible fruits of| King Edward’s -endeavors it is:only necessary to compare Great. Britain’s| position today with what it was in} 1901. At that time England and France were pursuing -their secular, .quarrel with a bitterness that had come to be accepted on both .sides of the channel as the basis of their normal - relation. Today they are friends and all but allies. ! The king has helped to rivet yet firmer the bonds that united Great Britain and Portugal; to broaden and confirm the Anglo-Japanese alliance; to.coax Spain out of the ill humors and animosities bequeathed by the Spanish-American war; to dissipate the cloud ‘that hung over the Anglo- Italian relations for some years after the disaster of Adowa; to bring the toree chief Mediterranean powers to- gether in a common understanding; to place an English princess on the new born throne of Norway, and, finally; to restore a state of confidence be- tween England and Russia, PATTEN INVITES AN INQUIRY Not Averse to Investigation of Cotton Operations.

Simuitaneously- with-the sixty-eight strokes tolled by the cathedral bell, the number of:the king's years, win- dows were thrown open and housg- holders inquired of +the police afd passersby for confirmation of the sad news. There was little sleep in Lon- don after the king's death became gen- erally known. ‘Thousands -who had retired flocked into the streets and made their way to the -newspaper offices to learn from extra editions the details of the king’s last hours. The king had been in a state of complete coma for more than an hour preceding his death, though a smile illumined his worn features just be- fore. the end. The last words of his majesty show that his thoughts were upon those who ‘were to be bereaved by his death. Shortly before he.died he turned to Dr. Laking and mur- mured: 5 “I know this is the end; tell the queen.” Dead King Mourned in France. Paris, May 9.—Nowhere in Europe has the passing of King Edward created deeper emotion than in France, where he was gratefully acknowledged as the principal artisan’ in the present diplomatic combinations for the pres- ervation of the peace of Europe. Most of the French papers appear with black borders and -their editorials sound a common note of grief. Japan Mourns a Friend. Tokio, May 9—Japan, as Great Britain’s ally, has received the news of King Edward’s death with profound sorrow. The ball of Prince Asaka has been postponed and all public funec- tions have been suspended. It is con- fidently believed that the demise of the British monarch will not affect the alliance of the two countries. Earthquake Sufferers Need Help. New York, May 9.—Appeals for aid for the stricken city of Cartago, Costa Rica, were sent out at the request of Dr. Juan J. Ulloa, the Costa Rican consul general here. Immediate as- sistance, he says, will be needed and he expresses the hope that philan- thropically inclined Americans will render all possible aid.
