THE NAVAL REVOLT.
The Dimcnlty OF Conducting . Revolution
With q Perambulatory Base.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: How
long the Knaz Potemkin can keep up Its
surprising career depends now on whether
it can replenish its coal bunkers.
BY the self-denying assurances regarding
foreign vessels. its crew have barred them
selves from obtaining coal except out Of Rus
sian ships or at some other Russian port than
Odessa The only other place where they
would be likely TO find efficient supply Is
Batoum, for except for provisions Poti and
Novorosssk would be found barren ground
Besides. strategic reasons dictate the ship
remaining in the northern waters Of the
Black Sea 80 long as there is a chance that
the disaffection may spread to the troops.
in which event coal could be sent down to
them from the southern mines to some &C
cessible point. What the revolutionsts
need is base Of operations; it is as necessary
TO them as it was to Admiral Rojestvensky,
If they have any we'll defined plan of action.
AS things are at present the Caucasus
would not furnish them such a base. Ba-

A successful revolt in the Transcaucasus

question; or II the population united and the

ties, however. have ceverly divided the pop

holds the means of communication and has

Black Sea- and the proximity Of the KniaZ

for the moral support II aft ords and the means
OF carrying information from one point to

In view Of the unreliabIlity of the rest Of

Will There BE an Armistice in the
Far East?

No request for an armistice has been
addressed directly to Japan by Russia,
but it is reported that the Car has in
timated to President ROOSEVELT the
wish that a truce might be arranged.
We are told, on what seems trustworthy
authority that the Toxic Government
has declined to assent to temporary
cessation of hostilities unless Russia
shall practically acknowledge herself
to be the beaten party by presenting the
proposal to the Mikado, and unless the
plenipotentiaries shall first have met
and Russias willingness to comply with
terms of peace acceptable to Japan shall
have been demonstrated.
Onlookers who are inclined to sympa-
thize with Russia say that a mighty
European Power should not be asked
to humble itself by praying for peace
at the hands of an Asiatic enemy for
morly despsed. They add that by such
an act of public humiliation the prestige
of the st. Petersburg Government would
be fatally impaired in the eyes of its own
subjects. 1t is further argued that if
Japan's professed willingness to take
part in negotiations for lasting peace

Old 18th street Institution to Be ReOpened
on the Ogden Estate.
The Sacred Heart convent and school
for girls conducted for nearly sixty years
at 10 West seventeenth street will be closed
permanently to-day. In deal which
the Ladies' Of the Sacred Heart concluded
yesterday through the Century Realty
Company, the property is taken in ex-
change for the old William B. Ogden estate
at Aqueduct avenue and the Washington
Bridge. The school will be reopened there
as soon as the necessary construction
changes are effected. The price paid for
the new site was not disclosed.
The old Odgen residence is substantial
stone building containing forty rooms.
Eleven acres of ground have been secured.
This will give the school secusion and
open space 1t Is stated that the Ogden
mansion is 80 spacious that very little altera-
ton will have to be made to fit it for con.
vent and school purposes.
The old school in West Seventeenth
street has educated three generations OF
girls belonging to we'll known families Of
this city. Many converts to the Catholic
faith OF social prominence have been in
structed there and its chapel was the scene
OF their baptism and confirmation. The or.
ganization known as the Children OF Mary,
which held its meetings there, included
q large number Of Catholic women.
One Of the projects connected with the
changed location OF the school Is to have
the Children OF Mary erect the chapel on
the new convent grounds. A structure Is
planned which will be gem Of ecclesias-
tical art. 1t Is expected that the old
CONVEX buildings in West Seventeenth
street will be demolished at once for a
structure.

JUDGE KELLEr.s PAnADE.
A Forrth OF July Ceie,r titn Held Dc
spite o Trades Uni n vetl.

To THE EpIToa or THE SrS-Sir: have
missed seeing in any New York paper an &C.
count of a notable celebration which took
place on the Fourth in the town of Rockland,
Mass a thriving place Of about 1000 popu-
lation. twenty miles southeast OF BOSTON,
The notable thing about the celebration Ia
its revelation of the influence on a commun-
ity OF one strong. brave, honest man.
A trade procession in honor of the Fourth
had been planned, but discussion arose over
the engagement OF a Plymouth drum corps
by one Of the constituent elements oil the
parade. The drum corps was non-unlon.
and no union band would march in the same
parade. Union labor took the matter up.
and after a public declaration OF Its displeas-
ure II was considered impossible that any
parade could be held. and the project was
abandoned. Here is where the brave. reso-
Lutte man appears.
George w. Kelley is the Judge OF the Dis
trict Court which takes In considerable
part of Plymouth county. extending from
Whitman to Hull, and including the town Of
Rockland. Judge Kelley hired the Plymouth
drum corps and vowed that there would be

All tho weak kneed creatures In the town.
including some Of the clergymen. advised
against the action OF Judge Kelley. said 1t was
inviting q riot and that an assault would
surely be made on the drum corps.
But the Judge was infiexible immovable. He
insisted that there would be no trouble. and
that. even IL there were. 1t was worth free
mans while to assert tho right 10 march un-

And there was no disturbance OF the peace.
and the Judge. walking at the head OF the
line. was followed or surrounded by hundreds
OF men and women from RocNand and other
towns. who had caught the infection Of his
example and were anxious to do q stunt for
liberty and freedom.
Allow me to add a word OF personal In
formation about Judge Kelley. Instead OF
being a hard hearted. unsympathetio upholder
Of what the labor unionists call the capitalis-
tic class. he is. on the contrary, an advocate
OF many Of the radical political Issues intro
duced in recent years. Bryan had no warmer
supporter in Massachusetts,. and the writer
Of this has heard some OF the Judges neigh
bors refer to him as a Socialist.
Isn't it encouraging to know that man
holding such opinions will not tolerate union
interference with the right Of the Citizen to do
as he likes 80 long as he keeps within the
law? And isn't the Judges act worthy OF
notice in THE sun, even though II was per.

Worthy OF Attention.

Some paragraphs in Mayor McCLEL-
LAN's address to the convention OF the
National Educational Association at As
bury Park on Tuesday are by no means
unworthy of comparison with the Presi-
dents vigorous utterances at the same
place yesterday.
How wholesome, for example, is this
sentiment from the Mayors address,
THE country needs men of though, and men Of
learning, and needs them badly. The man who
thinks may be a greater patriot than the man who
does. II has been said that no amount OF sweet
ness and llght will avail unless accompanied by
action. which is the same as saying that the brain
would be useless without the power OF expression.
We have deled action at the expense OF thought
The good old motto. Act In haste repent at leisure
no longer stands at the top OF our copy books We
have so perss,cn,ly preached the doctrine OF action
that we are almost convinced that any action Is
better than none Not only have sweetness and
light been discarded ciemina,e fads, but thought
and delbera,lon bid fair to follow them. II you
can't act well, then act badly but. for Heavens
sake, act threatens to become guiding rule
When SAMSON pulled down the pillars OF the temple
and yet 1t may well be questioned whether a little
more sweetness and light and little less vigor
might not have been as instructive and beneficial.
Vigorous action is very admirable at times but
look before you leap Is safe rule of life'
Then, too, how salutary is the lesson
conveyed in these few lines of the Mayors
address:
We suner from the spirit OF unrest which ire
ouenty prompts us to Ill considered. immatured
and thoughtless action, often merely for the sake
OF doing something. We are Inclined TO applaud
the man who does not much because he accom-
plshes anything useful as because he accompllshes
something be |, good, bad or indifferent.
I This spirit Of unrest permcaes our whole
tional life, political, social educational. Content
ment bids fair TO be banlshed from our existence.
He who Is content is sneered at as being without
ambition. and yet ambition and Mysteries are very
different things. Contentment and happiness are
synonymous but We prefer TO sacrifice both In a
struggle for the unob anable Were our ambitions
iaudable our state OF mind would be most COM
mendable. but unfortunately We scarcely know
what we are striving for. We have forgotten that
deeds are merely means to an end Having no
particular end In view. we treat the deeds themselves
ss the sun,mu1 bonun,. tho ultimate object of at
tainment,"
There is balmy truth envelopng these
utterances of the Mayors which should
be taken home to every American heart.
There are times when we should masti-
cate crosscut saws, battle axes and ADDE'S,
and assert that we are fond of the fodder,
but for steady diet aren't they rather
trying?

Lay Judge Dill of New jersey.

Mr.. JAMES B. DILL of the bar of New
York and the bar of New Jersey is some
what of humorist He must be amused
at the astonshment caused by his ap-
pointment to be Judge" of the Court
Of Errors and Appeals in New Jersey,
and at the significance attached to his
acceptance of that eminent post, at the
supposed sacrifice of lucrative corpora
ton practise.
The Nep York Times informs Mr. DILL
that the court which he is to adorn lis
made up of six Judges who sit with the
Chief Justice and the Chancellor of the
State" The World finds it extraordinary
to accept a $4,000 position on the bench
rather than render the peculiar services
which are now the price of the princely
fees that Wall Street pays to its legal
accomplces' Another New York jour
nal announces that Mr. DILL hopes to
Supreme Court by way of this New Jer-
sey "Judgeship." Still another news
paper credits him with abandoning an
income of 100000 a year from his law
practise to become Judge with a salary
of 5000 and adds that one of the last
things he did before accepting the new
place was to refuse a retainer of $4,000
offered by an insurance financer'
Mr.. Dill. in whom the sense of the
ludicrous is generally active when he is
not beneath the belly of his automobile,
would probably have been overjoyed to
explain to these commentators, if they
had given him the opportunity, the
peculiar constitution of the tribunal to
which he has been appointed.
The New Jersey Court of Errors and
Appeals consists of the Chancellor and
the Chief Justice and Associate Justices
Of the Supreme Court, representing the
regular judiciary of the State; and in ad-
dition there arc six Judges commonly
known as LAY Judges" and not ncccs-
sarily members of the legal profession.
The original theory concerning the"lay
Judges" seems to have been that they

from the public fund all instruction will
be secular excepting that Of the last half
hour of each school day. That time will
be devoted to religious instruction, the
nature Of which, whether Protestant
or Catholic, will be determined for each
school by the trustees, in accordance
with the views of the majority Of the
parents whose children are in attendance.
We infer from the matter at hand that
attendance during this half hour is not
made compulsory if the nature of the in
struction is contrary to the views OF the
parents; that is, Protestant child will
not be compelled to receive Catholic in
struction, and vice versa.
Commenting on this matter early in
March, we called attention to the desir-
ability of full and unrestricted provincial
autononomy by which Quebec, with its
overwhelming Roman Catholic popula-
ton, might establish school system
in accordance with the desire of it's peo-
pie, and by which the new provinces,
heavily Protestant, would be equally free

ceptable TO their people. just as neither
Massachusetts nor New Jersey has any
voice in the school systems of Illinois or
Nebraska so it seems better that Alberta
and Saskatchewan should be free from
any control or influence from Quebec or
Ontario provinces. This course has
proved impossible, and Canada has I'M
doubleday worked out the best possible
of compromises, and has reached de-
cision on a matter OF extreme delicacy
with the minimum of bitterness.
The point of greatest Importance per-
haps is the fact that our neighbor stands
we'll up in the matter of education. She
has 81, 900 public schools and 1000 teach
ers. Her annual expenditure for public
instruction exceeds $l2,OOO,OOO. She has
seventeen universities and fifty-three
colleges, and 70 per cent. OF all her people
are able to read. The compromise eff
fected for the new provinces will amply
safeguard a region which will soon be to
Canada what our own West has been to
the United States.

Massa chusetts, Reciprocity and Tariff
Reform.

1t is now announced that Representa-
tive JOHN W. WEEKS Of the Twelfth dis
trict is to be elected chairman OF the
Massachusetts Republican Convention
this fall mainly because he made his
fight for Congress on the reciprocity
and tariff reform issue The chairman
Of the Resolutions Committee will be
selected because he stands with the
reciprocity and tariff reform sentiments
OF the Massachusetts delegation in Con-
gress, says the Boston Advertiser, which
adds that this years convention will be
distinctively tariff reform convention, I"
and that Governor CURTIS
GUILD, Jr,, the probable nominee for
Governor, is strongly committed to
reciprocity and tariff reform by the party
of protection.
A year ago Senator HENRY CABOT
LODGE was sure that every advocate Of
tariff reform was guilty Of treason and
that all advocates of reciprocity were
secretly plotting to overthrow the Gov
eminent He did not change these opin-
ions until 10000 Old Bay State Republi-
cans signed petition for reciprocity
plank in the State platform Mr.. LODGE
wept-affecting sight!-when the party
made him change his views, and he al
lowed the State convention to adopt a
mild and harmless reciprocity plank, The
Hon. WILLIAM l.. DOUGLAS ran as DEM
ocratic tariff reformer for Governor and
amazed Mr.. LODGE and his organization
by defeating JOHN l.. BATES, the Republi-
can candidate for reelection. Therefore,
this years Republican convention is to
be allowed to say what the delegates
think, not what Mr.. LODGE thinks they
ought to think
The Massachusetts idea of tariff reform
and reciprocity must be thoroughly
understood if the sentiment in that
weighed accurately. The altruists Of the
Old Bay State would let into this country,
under moderate duty, all commodities
not manufactured or produced by them
selves. They do not raise cattle, but do
make shoes therefore, let hides in free,
but clap stiff duty on footgear. They
produce no WOOL but much pinchbeck
jewelry; hence it is necessary in their
opinion that wool should be free, and
pinchbeck jewelry heavily taxed, Their
production of wines is not alarmingy
great but number Of gentlemen make
fat dividends by emplo, ing Canadians in
the fishing industry; cut down the duty
on wines, and jack it up on fish. The
fishing smacks that Mr.. LODGE calls
the nursery of the American navy" are
manned now principally by British sub
jects, but the profits go into American
pockets,
Mr.. LODGES power over the Massa-
chusetts Republicans is little out of
joint, perhaps, at present. However,
when the sort of tariff revision and reci-
procity demanded by his opponents
within the party is considered calmly
there is nothing to indicate any immedi-
ate and startling changes in the Dingley
tariff schedules through their agency.
