BUCK FANSHAW’S METHOD. investigation, eaid: “The world has learned by experience that unlimited competition is the eurest route to monopoly. I know of my own knowledge that if there had been no combina- tion in steel, Carnegie would have had a monopoly.” Of that sort of philosophy it may be said it ie es dear as blue mud, But we understand from it that Mr. Morgan secured competition by putting an end to competition and establiahed monopoly only for the purpose of preventing monopoly. The system is not new. Mark Twain has told how Buck Fan- shaw etopped a row in Virginia City by killing three men and knock- ing over half a dozen others before any row wae started. Tt will also be recalled that in the days of his prime Napoleon used to avoid attack by the simple process of getting there first. Mr. Depew may be quite right in eaying, “I know of my own knowledge Carnegie would have had @ monopoly,” and the rest of us know that Morgan has one, but does any one know for certain that | we have gained by the substitution? +42. — | THE MILITARY SPIRIT. | EN. WOOD'S suggestion that young men of the col- leges submit themselves to a six-months’ discipline in the army has not been received with enthus- | iasm. It is not likely to spread over the country | like the “Boy Scout” movement, nor to find any | such companioning enterprise as “The Girl Guides.” Though perhaps were the new graduates of Barnard and Vassar and the like to lead the way, there might be tome enlistments of youth for the summer at least. But a curious side light is thrown upon the question of militarism in this country in the report from Washington that there are no appli- cants for forty vacancies in West Point cadetships, though the time for examinations is less than a month distant. The report adds: “There are almost one hundred vacancies with no applicants in the class to enter in 1912.” West Point has eo many advantages as a place of education, it confers 80 much prestige, eocial and political, as well as military, upon its graduates that this neglect of its opportunities is one of the oddest phases of the life of our time. Once applicants for admission were so numerous and eo eager they crowded upon one another. They even bid money for appointments, and in eome instances there were serious ecandals in connection with them. P Gen. Wood bad better find a way of filling West Point before try- ing to start a military boom in the universities. A BANQUET RELIGION. NDER the title “Men and Religion Forward Movement” a new effort toward religious unity and political purity has been started on ite career. It was launched and announced at a banquet at the Hotel Astor, and eight hundred prominent citizens were present to share in the feast and indorse the programme. Movements toward harmonizing religious differences are not new to our time, nor to our town. But the launching of such a move- ment at a hotel banquet is a novelty. Speeches took the place of sermons, there were toasts instead of prayers, and such music as sounded forth was not that of Psalm singing. It is evident we are to have a distinct, up to date, new move- ment. And it is a rational movement. Men are much more likely to agree at a banquet than at any church service. Where there is no altar nor priest, there is neither dogma nor heresy. Commissioner Fosdick told the new movementers he wishes to | see the inculcation of a religion that will prompt its votaries not| only to applaud civic patriotism and honest politics, but to avoid temp- , tations to sell worthless soil to Central Park or to get soft jobs for relatives under the city government. If the wish be achieved, the banquet boom will have done more good than any ecumenical council known to history. Success to it. oe A FORGOTTEN RESOLVE, HEN the last breezes of a lingering April were! lightly dancing on the purple waves of the sea, or loitering along the violet scented lanes of the parks, a number of high and mighty hotel men got together, and forecasting the coming of sum-| mer, when the city would be deserted by its in- habitants, they resolved to make New York the greatest summer resort in America. Some said the greatest in the world. Summer has come, Aristocracy hae betaken itself to the corona tion. Sport has gone to the seaside or to the mountains, culture has graduated its classes and forsaken the universities, romance is seeking gold or girls in fashionable far off places, and there is nobody in town but a few folks and some strangers. But where now are all those fine, world-famous attractions that were to make us as gay as Paris and draw to us the bright and the beautiful from Passamaquoddy, from San Diego and from all thie towns and cities between the two? Alas, the promise of a summer time of shows was based upon a hope of retaining Madison Square Garden. And that hope has faded with the April violets and gone with the April winds. Still, the voather is good, the water is fine, the city is ample, and something ght yet be done to make New York as attractive to strangers in summer as in winter.

THE STORY rs CORONATION @ PRED) BY A ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE\SS A Copyright, 1011, by The Prese Publishing Co, (The New York World). ‘ OING to the coronation? ! Thousands of people who can afford it have gone or are gotmgly G Also thousands who can't. This series will tell the stay-at-homes more about the coronation thew many of the great ceremonial's visitors will see or hear, Even ina republic it ts interesting to read how a monarchy destowe supreme honore on the man. who “reigns but no longer rules.” q i] begins. But the ceremony of formal coronation is postponed until after the long period of court mourning is over and until the thousand and one details needed dor the great occasion can be prepared, For a dozen big stage apectacles and an inauguration combined do net require half the preparation, tedious work, forethought, rehearsing an@ costuming that go to make up one coronation. And in spite of all this planning and expense there have been few coronations during which some gross or absurd blunder has not been made. At the coronation of George III. there were so many mistakes that the @pectators were in a broad grin. After the ceremony was over the King sem gor Lord Effingham, who was responsible for the arrangements, and gave him an angry rebuke. Effingham meekly replied that “at the next coronation he would try to do better.” As there could be no “next corons tion” anti] after the King’s death, the reply did not do much toward sooth+ ing the royal temper. Coronatione date back to Bile days, and many of the forms and rules ob served then are still in use in England and elsewhere. Of old a king had life-and= death power over his people. In choosing him they were choosing @ master who could help or ruin them— & man who could at will build up or wreck the nation; who could make his subjects’ lives miserable or happy. So when they accepted such a ruler the people wished @ guarantees and pledge from him that he would govern them justly and would place their welfare abore all else. Hence the coronation cath had {te origin. Kings were believed to de chosen for nations by the direct will of God. Therefore the ceremony took on a religtous tone, and the high priest Of gome other holy man (acting as God's earthly representative) anoimed the new ruler with consecrated oils. To secure a smocth reign and to guard against rebellion the people's epokess men were required to swear loyalty to the monarch. (Though many broke cheip oaths, the plan had &s advantages.) All ol customs and many others oon- tinue in some form up to the present aithough the need for most of them {a long since past. To-day, uckity, a British King no tonger has the power to ruin his country, And as for his ruling by “divine right"—the tast King of Engand who claimed that ‘right’ lost both his crown and hie head. ‘The first English King’s coronation of which ful record has been kept was that of Richard I. (Lion Heart), who spoke no word of English, who spent almost none of his time in England, and who used his country chiefly as a means to supply tim with money for his foreign ware. (He once even went #0 far as ta “pawn” the entire kingdom for this purpose.) ‘The Archbishop of Canterbury, who ts the highest peer of the reaim, except members of the royal family, and who has crowned every English sovereign since 1066, officiated at Richard's coronation. The King emered Westminster Abbey with « throng of hie nobles, the Earl of Chester bearing the crown. The crown was tai4 on the alter ani Richard took the usual oatn to spend his Mfe in protecting and caring for his people. Then came a tong series of services, which included the placing of the heavy crown upon the King’s brow. His head ud to this time had been covered by a consecrated cap of linen.
