THE LATEST BLUNDER OF
NICHOLAS II.

statesmen. The dissolution of the Dou-
ma by ukase of the Gear is admitted by
all to have been such blunder. The
most Thoroughbred Socialist writer's,
and the calmest and most scientific
historical and political specialists, ad-
NIT the same thing. Even the moder-
ates of the Douma as represented by
Heyden and Stakhovitch did not hest
tate to avow that Nicholas had acted
quite within his constitutional rights in
dissolving body whom he charged
with "straying into spheres beyond
their competence" and making COM
ments" upon the imperfections of the
Fundamental Laws. Yet, as Mr.. Paul
Leroy-Beaulieu says in the Paris Eco
nomiste Francois, 1--WE must not lay 1t
to his charge as crime" 1t was a
blunder because of its futility, de-
clares the Socialist Neue Gesellschaft
(Berlin), and gives the following rea-
sons:
THE ukase of weakling has wiped
out the first parliament of Russia, but
that ukase can not crush the forces
which This parliament has called to
life. 1t can not wipe out the memoir
les which survive the last three years
OF Russian history. You may dissolve
a parliament, but not a revolution
The deeds which have distinguished a
revolution are the permanent posses.
sions of a people. If the Car has de-
stroyed the Douma, 1t is not improb-
able that he has also destroyed the
monarchy and the Romanoff dynasty;
time will show. But he has not set
the Russian constitution into perma'
nent allegiance. A state which has
once left the path of absolutism can
never again return to it."
Mr.. Leroy-Beaulieu is a deep stu.
dent of russian affairs. In the article
above quoted he expresses his convic-
ton that at certainly seemed to be a
simpler and cieverer course for the
Gar to have set up a new prime min
lister, and offered that post to Mr..
Mouromtseff, the president of the
Douma, of whom all parties thought
and spoke well, and to have required
that statesman to formulate a detailed
program of his future policy. If the
program he gave proved unacceptable
the car should have suspended or pro-
rogued the Russian parliament, never
have dissolved It,"
The appointment of Mouromtseff as
premier is advocated also by the Lon
don Times, which thinks that the czar
should have had patience with the
Douma until it's members had realized
their plan of constitutional assembly.
To quote:
1T was their purpose-prematurely
attempted, but legitimate in concep-
tion-to establish popular government
under limited monarchy on the Eng
lish model. By every rule of patriotic
statecraft and self-preservation, the
crown in Russia was bound to see that
fair play should be given to their or
derby and pacific movement. Had the
car insisted on sending Mr.. Goremy-
kin into the retirement which he
craved, and replacing him with Mr..
Mouromtseff, or some other capable
representative of the majority in the
Douma, he could probably have kept
the revolutionaries in check without
resorting to the military and the Sec
ret police. If the worst had come to
the worst, and he had been compelled

Farewell Sermon.

He gave utterance to some very
pointed and undeniable truths,

the vice OF intoXication and the
drink habit in general which is
spreading rapidly in onr midst

grasp within it's powerful teutacles,

less powerful but no less sinful
practise in the category of sins
condemned was dancing, while

with genuine sorrow that such
things are done and sanctioned
by those who should be leaders in

l. GU. 20, 1COO.
Mr.. John f. Stockman,
Hamilton Center, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-In our letter of
the Sth inst, we agreed to write you
further at some early date. Permit
us at this time to offer the following
in regard to your ordering your
household supplies through the cat
alogue houses.
We should like to know your atti-
tude toward Standard Oil and other
corporations of its stripe. Are you
warm friend and enthusiastic sup
porter of trusts and monopolies in
general? We ask this because, in
point of fact, it seems that you are
doing all you can to build up trust
that shall be the greatest of them
all, and in comparison with which
Standard Oil itself would be mere
harmless toy.
How? You are doing what you
can and ALL THAT YOU GAN to
drive your home merchants out of
business, aren't You? Suppose you
accomplish this purpose, what then?
Once the local business men are
ruined and out of the game, what
shall be your own place in the new
order of things?
You may be shrewd but you ap-
pear to be nearsighted. There is
within your horizon vision of
single gigantic alien combination re-
lentlessly fixing the price for you of
every necessary of life; moreover
you will be unable and helpless to
prevent their extortions.
God grant that this may not be-
fall us? But YOU ARE DOING
WHAT YOU CAN to bring it to
pass, aren't you?
And THERE is A GREAT
REVOLUTION GOING ON along
this line, isn't there? In the north
western part of our state, retail
stores are even now rapidly decreas-
ing in number, owing to the ugly in
roads of the mail order houses.
Your argument for this kind of
work sounds pretty we'll but it
won't hold water" When EVERY
BODY learns to do as YOU are doing,
it seems that we shall all have to
emigrate to some fairer shores.
Please answer at your conven-
ience.
Sincerely yours,
THE JOURNAL.
