of Nations, from the heart, which is London, to its farthest outpo-ts whether on the North-West Frontier of India or in the ^Falkland Islands in the South Seas, will pause for a while to do honour to its head, and the whole world will look on. It is thirty-eight years since Britain and the British look part in a Jubilee. That was in 1897 when Queen Victoria in her declining years celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. There are many—very many in Clitheroe—who remember both the Diamond .Jubilee and the Go Men Jubilee of 1887. Queen \ ietoria was venerated rather than loved by her people. The contacts she made with them wero few and far between. She wa.-> a remote personality chiefly known by repute. People saw her picture and that was all they were destined ever tip see of her. Widowed comparatively early in lile, she lost all taste for the panoply and pomp, for the spectacular side of the monarchy, and nothing short of a Jubilee brought her forth from the sunny Osborne of the hie of Wight or the fastnesses of Balmoral. There nave been great changes since then. King tloorgo and his Queen and Family are well known personally to a vast number ol their subject-. The Great War established a contact between throne and people which lias endured and is likely to endure. King George struck the right note in his last Christmas message when he referred to the wholo Commonwealth from its head to its humblest subject as “ members of the family.” This contact with the people is only in process of development. From the aloofness of Queen Victoria’s # time to the democratic activities of the Prince of Wales to-day is a pretty wide span. i t is growing wider, and the next generation will witness an association between crown and people which would have astonished even so recent a King as Edward the Seventh. This is as it should he. It establishes stability ami ensures the future of the monarchy, which is probably in any event a cheaper and more satisfactory form of headship than a Presidency cotild possibly be. The llovnl House is free from party politics. No* President of Britain could forget his political past, and if he could there would he millions who would not fail to remind him of it. Always lie would he suspected of leanings to this side or to that. Never a breath of partisanship touches the present House of Windsor whose every member lias the confidence of the whole nation and who win an unmistakeable loyalty to themselves as well as to the Crown. As Lord Derby said at Manchester la^t Friday, it is the happiest combination when those two shades of loyalty can he honoured in the same individual wearer of the Crown. Lord Derby indeed at Manchester spoke
