The Visit of the Prince
The day for March could not have
been finer Tho sky was blue Tho sun
shone brightly The smoko which usu
ally hangs like a pall over the city had
been blown away bo a fresh breeze
from the lake
It was nearly two oclock Princo
Henry had arrived the evening before
He had been met at tho train by the
mayor by a delegation of aldermen and
by representatives of tho citys social
and business world Tho dingy station
had been swept and hung with flags and
bunting against his coming A crimson
carpet had been laid through tho train
shed and up the iron stairway to tho
street The kindly gloom hid the squalid
environs of Canal street and the river
district The princo his suite and his
hosts entered carriages Preceded by a
detachment of cavalry at full gallop the
carriages surrounded by mounted secret
service men dashed down the gaily dec
orated boulevard between a double row
of tho kaisers former subjects each of
whom bore a torch flaming red fire and
came to a halt before tho auditorium
A multitude of curious spectators greeted
his highness with ringing shouts to
which he responded with a quick mili
tary salute
Various forms of amusement had been
devised for tho entertainment of tho
royal guest a banquet a choral service
and concert i ball and on the morning
of this day an inspection of the fire
department a visit to a merchantile
house a trip to a bank a drive through
the business section and now ho was
about to leave Chicago probably for
ever From our high position we could
see the length of the street Two hours
before the time set for his passage de
tails of police had been stationed at
short intervals along the curb of the
streets through which the drive was to
be made A crowd had gathered along
the route
The glitter of a helmet far awav first
caught the eye Then we saw a number
of carriages and galloping horsemen rap
idly approaching Presently we heard
the clatter of hoofs upon tho cobble
stones In a moment he had flashed by
us A wave of cheers followed him and
died away in the distance as the carriage
passed from view Those who had time
to observe in that thrilling instant
saw a tall dark young man with bearded
face in an admirals uniform and cap
He sat erect and acknowledge tho com
pliment that was paid him with a swift
but graceful gesture His visit was al
most wholly a society event The people
took slight part in the demonstration of
welcome
What a spectacle to behold in this
democracy where in the sacred docu
ment by which we proclaimed to the
nations our independence it is declared
that all men are created free and equal
all the machinery of government nation
al state and municipal stopped to do
honor to a prince of the blood royal
What though he be the son of a line of
kings brother of the emperor of Ger
meny nephew of the king of England
grandson of Victoria herself who is he
that we should pay him homage What
is he after all but a man What has
he more than millions of other men
done to merit the reward of our hospi
tality Our ancestry isit not as ancient
and probably as honorable as his And
aside from this we do not believe in this
country in honoring a man not for
what his father before him was but for
what he himself is
To crown with wreathes of laurel
heroes of battle that were comprehen
sible This is not In honoring the
brave we do honor to ourselves but this
this is false it is sham shallowest pre
tense dishonesty
Where is the gain Why did we put
ourselves to such worry and trouble
For we have been sorely troubled ever
since this royal visitor was announced
We had no precedents to guide us No
one of his rank had come to us before
Thero were almost insuperable difficul
ties to overcome It was whispered that
the prince had in his gift rich presents
of jewelry and even orders of the Eed
Eagle to bestow and these were shrewd
ly coveted But even had these been
given as it was thought they might be
their intrinsic worth as compared with
the cost to the recipients would have
been insignificantly small And why
should the touch of a prince even though
he be a brother to the emperor add value
to a bit of ribbon or to a band of gold
What merit is in the service if it is per
formed in expectation of recompense
What pleasure is in the enjojment of a
favor undeserved What vanity is this
It was no act of mercy no charita
ble deed this reception of the prince
It was no duty owed or if a duty then
payment should not have been expected
Perhaps it was a hope cherished that
royalty might flatter by playing host
some day
However we are told it is not the man
whom we honored Henry represented
the kaiser and Wilhelm is the state It
was the empire to which we opened our
doors and our purses for everywhere
the cost of things was counted The
purest fiction romantic fiction a fairy
tale which we would persuade ourselves
to believe In these days of parliments
in these days of almost universal suf
frage the people or the politicians are
the rulers even in monarchical Ger
many whose decrees the king must see
obeyed To one who loves his liberty
there would seem to be no greater mis
fortune than to be born a king no more
terrible form of bondage than kingship
Shorn of the power but the insignia
remains
It matters not that the attribute of
sovereignty be not divine Our own
president on the occasions of his visits
to use arouses our deepest interest and
enthusiasm We deck our streets with
the national colors We declare a holi
day and go forth in our best clothes to
meet him He is a creature of our mak
ing We reverence not the man but
the thing or rather the idea for which
he stands It is well that we should it
is well that sentiment is potential
