It may be easily admitted that in recent years the influence of the king has been greater than the exercise of his power. It takes a British heart and mind to fully sense the difference between power and influence and to accept with joy the foree of the influence while the power rests more or less unused. In a constitutional monarchy like the British Empire, for safety, security, continuity, a supreme head is a necessity as well as a conâ€" venience. It is the weakness of democratic govâ€" ernment that the demagogue, the inexperienced, the impractical, the evil may gain too wide power and authority. Without a curb for this the adaemoâ€" cracy suffers. The British curb is the king, and any who have studied the history of this day and seneration with seeing eyes know that the British king not only has lawful powers but has used his authority quietly but firmly, again and again, for his people‘s welfare. King George‘s power was great. Let no one doubt it! But his influence was greater still! Therein lies the value and the glory of his reign. His son, King Edward VIII, comes to the throne with broad prerogatives and wide authority. Only in the crisis will he use these legal forces that are his. That he will use them if the need forces it may be taken as certain for he has shown himself one of the true breed of British kings. In the main. however, it will be the influence and not the power of King Edward VIII that will make his {reign and rule a great one like that of his father. is influence will be all for good. Why? Because that is the way of British kings! Their lives are framed and guided with no other end in view. ‘They are taught and trained to the one purpose. With a rare unselfishness, selfâ€"sacrifice, devotion they live their lives, they give their lives, to tue people of the Empire. It is a royal gift. There are some United States newspapers that believe the King of Great Britain has no real power or authority. One United States journal a few days ago revived a timeâ€"worn expression to the effect that t®e "King of Britain reigns but does not rule." There were Canadian newspapers that reâ€"published this editorial, some giving credit to its source, and some passing it off as their own. As a matter of fact the Sovereign of the British Empire has wide powers and great authority. While it is true that the democratic peoples of the Empire would scarcely submit to a ruler assuming the unâ€" hridled dominance that is taken by the heads of some republics, the fact remains that by law and usage the powers of the king go far in the British Empire. The character, the lifeâ€"long training for the task. the diplomacy, the unselfish spirit of Briâ€" tish kings, and above all, the love that is imbued in them for their people and their empire, tend to keep the sovereigns of the Empire from any tenâ€" dency to frequent use of the powers they hold, but in law and in fact the king is no figurehead but a ruler and a governor. In his address at the memorial services at the Goldfields theatre on Tuesday Rev. Murray Tait referred to the several ways in which King George V. influenced the life and security of the Empire, particular emphasis being given by Rev. Mr. Tail to the home life of the late king and the power of that home life as an example and inspiration to his people. The greatness of the Empire, Mr. Tait very rightly stated, has been built upon the families and the homes of its peopleâ€"built on domestic virtues. When the British home fails, the speaker said, the Empire will crash. Rev. Mr. Tait referred briefly but effectively to the modern tendencies to forget the home and the family and to scorn or neglect the simple virtues that make a people truly great. By precept and example King George, quietly but with the rare effectiveness that was one of his characteristics, stressed home and family life. He made virtue a fashion, as it were. In his lifetime the value of his influence in this regard was felt throughout the nation. In the days to come it will be felt still more. Again and again the world has been taught the lesson by bitter experience that no nation that forgets home life can triumph and endure.. Again and again the world seeks to evade the truth that no nation can be greater than its people, its homes, its families,. It was petrâ€" haps the greatest gift that King George V. gave the people of his Empireâ€"the gift of a home life, a family training, the only foundation upon which to build for the day or the future. History will yecord it as a truly royal gift.

The question is pertinent, yet it does not seem to be very useful to ask a man who could not find the money to keep himself off relief where the money is to come from to keep him on relief. A few of those asking relief. however, seem to think that they know how to run the taxpayers business, even though ‘they confess the inability to successfully conduct their Word from Ottawa is to the effect that the govâ€" ernment intends to displace the present Radio Commission and appoint in its stead a board of seven honorary members to represent the various geographical sections of Canada. Hector Charlesâ€" worth will be given a post in another branch in the government service and a new manager will be appointed in his place. Almost any change in the matter of control, or lack of control, of radio in Canada is likely to be welcomed. The changes suggested, however, do not seem to promise the improvements that are really needed. What radio needs, so far as the North is concerned, is a govâ€" ernment radio relay station that will make radio available in the North. What the country in genâ€" eral seems to need in regard to radio is some form of .government regulation that will really control radio so that it may be a benefit, not a curse. Up to the present the only real interest that seems to have been taken in radio by the authorities is the thought of collecting license fees from radio OW ners. Some people in the South have received some value for these fees by having good radio programmes made available. In the North the collection of the radio license fees has been nothâ€" ing more than a form of graft. at Westminster hall. Another million watched the funeral cortege. ‘Other millions in all parts of the world attended the memorial services held in every city and hamlet of the Empire. Other millions lisâ€" tened in to the radio programmes that depicted his life, his death, his funeral. "Mourned by millions" is literally true of this great king, whose greatness rested in his goodness. It is no mere figure of speech to say that King George V. is mourned by millions.
