The (Baptist) Standard

President Roosevelt is not the only young ruler in the world. In fact, he is older than at least nineteen rulers of the great nations of to-day. William of Germany is three months younger; Nicholas of Russia is only thiry-nine years of age, and the Emperor of China is ten years younger still. Possibly he might not be counted as a ruler by some people, but still his name is recognized, no matter who pulls the strings in the Chinese court. Victor Emmanuel of Italy is twenty-eight and Wilhelmina of Holland only twenty-one. Alphonso of Spain is probably the youngest ruler of all, as he is not yet sixteen. Charles I. of Portugal is under forty, and Ferdinand of Bulgaria is not yet fortyone. Abbas II., Khedive of Egypt, is not more than twenty-seven, Alexander of Servia but twenty-five, Thank-Tai, King of Siam, twenty-two, and Prince George of Greece, Governor of Crete, thirty-two.
