EDITORIAL NOTES

The first act for the protection of game in England was passed in 149e although the theory of game protec- tion originated in the days of William the Conqueror, who, in his forest laws, made the disablement of a wild beast punishable by forfeiture of property Game certificates were first granted with a duty in 17s4, and the game act, greatly modifying all previous laws and forming the basis of similar acts in all parts of the world. became law in 1881. By it the sale of game was legalized at certain seasons, pro- vidtng closed season for all game, and the penalties for poaching were made more severe..~ Game protection in the United States and Canada. was long neglected, and as a result the buffalo and other animals have all but disappeared. After this period of wanton destruction came a saner con- ception of mans duties to the beasts and birds, with the result that the capture Or killing of game during the breeding season Is now generally pro hibited

He is the gov ernor of the, Union of London and Smiths Bank, one of the strongest financial institutions of the British empire Sir Felix is especially inter ested in the question of gold reserves, and is a member of the new commit tee of English bankers which will meet next month to consider that prob lem. He believes that with the in creasins; productiveness of the coun- tries from which Europe gets supplies of food and raw materials, the de- mand for gold will continue to show increasing expansion. He holds that the gold reserves in the various none tary centers should be strengthened, in order that sudden demands may be met without panics or hardshfps. AS the head of one of London's greatest banks, he speaks with authority when he declares that the Bank of England should not be left to bear alone the burden of strengthening the, gold re- serve but hat all the banks of the nation should co-orerate.
 Sir Felix comes Of a family that for several genera tions has been engaged in banking and mercantile activities. He has written a number of books on financial topics, including Our Gold Reserves'', "The Bank of England and the State, and ''FNoreign Trade and the Money Market" He was created a baronet in 1906.

born on April 20 1880. As an inter
 national celebrity the Roumanian ruler
 plays second fiddle to his wife, the
 brilliant and beloved Carmen Sylva,' 9
 who has made the royal palace at Bucharest a center of European cuI-
 ture and gathering place for famous
 writers, artists and savants.
 King Charles is a HohenzoIlern. the son of Prince Karl of Hohenzo1lern- Sigmaringen- The kingdom over which he reigns is a union Of the municipalities of doIdavia and WaI1a- chfa, effected in 1861 under the leader ship of Col. Cuza, who took the title of Prince Alexander John I. In 1866 a revolution forced his abdication, and Prince Karl was chosen lord of Rou- mania. Roumania's independence of Turkey was effected in 1876, and three years later Prince Karl was proclaim ed King as Charles I. His rule has been beneficent, and Roumania has waxed prosperous and developed many indus stries of great importance A quarter of all the petroleum of the world is produced in Roumania. Farm ing is carried on with the latest Amer 1can agricultural implements. Ex- cept in the sluns of Bucharest a city of 300, 0O0 population, poverty is all but unknown among the seven million sub- jects of Charles I. The national re- ceipts have doubled in the last four years, and there is a constant tide of immigration from other European countries. Roumania has been call ed the Canada Of Europe and the comparison, in view of her rising prosperity and growth in population, is an apt one
 A novel institution fostered by King Charles is the Credit AgricoIe, which loans money to peasants and irlHni- grants on long time and easy terms, that they may buy their own farms It has had the effect of restoring the people to the land formerly held in vast estates by feudaI barons. Buch- arest is often called the Paris of the East and it has become a center. of light and learning that compares fa- vorably with the French capital.
 King Charles and Queen Elizabeth, or Carmen Sy1va,' are childIess, their only child having died at the age of fotm Crown Prince Ferdinand, the heir apparent, is a nephew of King Charles He is forty-eight years old. He married Princess Elizabeth, granddaughter of Queen Victoria and daughter of the late Duke of EEdin- burgh. They have six sons, the youngest an infant in arms. The Crown Princess is one Of the most beautiful of European women, and is very fond Of sports
 While the Faoumanians have no love for the Turks, King Charles obstinate 1y refused to join with the neighbor- ing Balkan States in making war on the Ottomans. In this decision he was upheld by the rank and file of his subjects, who were too busy and prosperous to care for shouldering a musket- King Charles, however, was not averse to sharing in the fruits Of garia to balance the latter's gain in territory

The first bill providing for the aboli- ton of the death penalty in Great Britain came to a vote forty-five years ago today, and was negatived 118 to 5s MT. Galpin, author of the act, made several later attempts to secure its passage but all failed, as did the Peace act of 1881. A society including many influential men and women is still carrying on the propaganda against capital punishment in Eng land. Russia, the most backward of European nations, was the first to abolish the death penalty. Through the influence of Catherine II, capital punishment was abolished in 1767, ex- cept for treason. but was soon restor- ed. It was not until 1861 that the death penalty was confined in Eng land to treason and wi1ful murder. In the reign of Henry VIII, lasting thir- ty-eight years, no less than 72,000 criminals were executed, some of them for what would now be little worse than n1isdeneanors. From hundreds, the crimes punishable by the extreme penalty have gradually diminished, un7 til now in most countries death is in fIicted only for murder and treason, and in many parts of the world capi- tai punishment has been almost or quite abolished.

After a youth of extreme e poverty, the fatherless and motherless lad was enabled, by the generosity of an uncle, to attend St. Marcartan's College in Monaghan, and later to go to New York to complete his educa- tfon at St. Johns College and at St Joseph's Seminary in Troy. Later he went to Rome, and after four years at the American College in the Eter- nal City was ordained a priest. His first charge was as assistant rector or Staten Island church. As a. priest he gained a reputation for open handed charity, and it has been said of him a thousand times: NO man ever went hungry if Father Farley knew it"
