DELEGATES TO THE HAGUE.

Public announcement has been made of the
appointment of delegates from most of the ma
tiOns to the forthcoming congress at The Hague,
and the composition and temperament of that
body, which can now be pretty well forecast give
promise of much good, in practice as well. as in
sentiment.
The delegates appointed represent a wide
range. There are soldiers and sailors, diplomats
and iursts, scholars and men of affairs. That
is as it should be in a worlds congress. But the
one note which Is most conspicuous well as
most desirable is that of practicalty. The con-
gress will not be filled with idle dreamers, issu-
ing bulls against comets or fancying that be
cause they cry "All men, be good!" forthwith
the millennium will dawn. 1t will contain ideal
lists, but they will be such as arc capable of seek
ing practically the realization of their ideals.
1t will be dominated by men who desire to have
all the world as it should be- but who are none
the less regardful of the world it is, who
realize the vast difference between the two and
who are not only willing but eager to lessen
that difference. even though they cannot hope
entirely to abolish it. Its judgments will be
framed by men who believe in law and justice
among the nations and who competent TO
devise workable means for their establishment.
1t IS of hopeful omen that the various nations
have appointed such men 1t shows the serious
interest which their governments take In the
congress and the weight which they attach to it's
deliberations. One or two countries might have
made the whole thing futile or ridiculous by
sending "A delegation of vsionaresfo or cranks.

TWO HLNDRED NILES 1Y HOLE.

DR.. Alexander Graham Bell is said 10 have ex-
pressed the belief that within a few years the
world Will see an airship capable Of travelling
from one hundred ANA fifty to two hundred miles

be the first country in the world to develop a
practical aerial battleship," for which we shall
not have to wait very long Perhaps Dr. Bell
did not mean 10 be taken seriously. and perhaps
he WAS not accurately reported. We are sure that
nobody expects to see Admiral Evans's feet 20

any interruption OF the governments present

Why the Judges Bartlett Should Be Nom

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: 1t is with a great deal OF satisfaction that
the friends Of n nOn-partisan judiciary IN this
region read the recent editorial IN The Tribune
regarding the proposed action by the Republican
and Democratic state committees TO nominate
as successors TO Judges O'Brien and E T. Bart
lett whose terms In the Court OF Appeals expire
next winter. two judges who certainly merit the
positions In the highest court OF our state.
owing to the constitutional provision that re-
quires Judge O'Brien to reiinqush his seat with
the close OF this year. the court will lose an
honored, faithful and highly valued member:
stlH by placing Justice Willard Bartlett In the
seat thus vacated. the court will have as a per-
manent addition judge who. while sitting
there for the last few years a Supreme
Court Justice designated by the Governor. has
brought to that high court experience that.

been of great weight in that court.
Justice Willard Bartlett has been a justice OF

ment. since 1854. AS a trial judge hs was the
peer of any of the great judges this state has
had For several years before being designated
as one of the relief judges In the Court OF APP
peals he was one of the justices of the Appel

legal fraternity are familiar with the opinions
he rendered and the great amount of hard work
he performed !G this court, which Is second

Judge merited promotion to the court of last
resort in this state that judge is Willard Bart
lett. He Is possessed Of q sound judicial tenn
permanent, quick insight and great industry
Being in the prime of his judicial life. the State
of New York will be hOnoTed and greatly bene-
fitted by his unanimous election
Judge r. T. Bartlett has been member OF
the court for fourteen years and deserves a re-
election because of his faithful. conscientious
and laboriOus services. AS a Judge he has
earned the merlted approval of all the people,
and should be hOnored by both committees OF
