FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF ALEXIS.


 What a strange mixture of paternal love and military severity was Peter the Great! What mental struggles must have passed through the mind of this great uplifter of Russia as he weighed in the balance the love of his son and the duty to his people! This prince, by Peters first wife, was Yoluptuous youth, in love with a absolute life, ever promising to re- form. and just as often breaking his promises.
 When the. Czarowitz reached the age when he should have had dis cretion. his father tried to satisfy his one great wish, to leave a son to rule the nation he had built, by teaching him the arts which constituted the ruling of Holy Russia Seeing his words had no effect, he sent to his son a letter, in it showing ali his love for the profigate offspring. In answer the Czarowitz wrote his father to the effect that he no longer desired the throne of the Muscovite empire, that he would uphold the claims of his younger brother: that he was not, even if he had the ambition, fit to rule; and. lastly, that he would retire from pub lie life if his father would only give him enough money to exist.
 The father wrote in answer that Alexis either throw off the friends

THE TRADE coMMissIoN.

Word comes from Washington that President Wilson is not disposed to hasten his selection of members for the interstate trade commission He is inclined to sacrifice speed for the securing of the best available men, and therein he is right, for by such a course he takes a proper view of the duty imposed. upon him and through it will get nothing but conmendation from all sections of the country. The flood of recommendations has not served to sWerve him from his deter imitation and the selections when an- nounced should reveal men especially fitted for that particular kind of work
 Such makes it evident that he is fully cognizant of the fact that the success of this commission rests 1arge- ly upon the men who are selected to guide it. It is after such a plan that he made choice of men for the federal reserve board and it is not to be sup posed that he would desert such aH admirable course in this instance. Much responsibility rests upon his shoulders and he is not shirking it.
 This trade commission is given broad powers relative to the business of the country and it will never do to display a careless attitude in the appointing of the members. It means much to the country and it means much to the administration. The time to avoid a blunder is now. Because of the very task imposed upon it business men with large trade experience are the specialists required to handle and guide the work of the board.

The dancing teachers have to earn money to take them on yaca- tionS to Palm Beach and Europe so they've sprung a lot of new ones! l saw that card the other day that our teacher sent you, and what did it say on it? The Fox-trot, the Canter, the Ta-tao, the Loop, or some thing like that. and a lot more! Can you picture me on clogs hopping along to meet my ~artner and pumping fore heads in the Ta-tao without a pang of pity2 Can you even dream of me tr0tting along like a red fox or doing a hobbyhorse canter without pausing in your demon career? Remember, I'm a director on several boards and our living depends on my sustaining a reputation for being Q man of sanityl"

 Wisconsin and Idaho are the only states requiring library instruction in normal schools, but it must be evil dent as declared by Dr. H. R. Evans that "The best material in a library is frequently in the form of magazine articles, pamphlets and technical pa pers prepared by experts. Every stu dent should be required to take some course in the handling of library tools.

 Tn reply the Prince wrote.

 Partly satisfied at this. the mon arch set out omake a. tour of the surrounding countries to acquire such Improvements in the knowledge of arts and science that would uplift main. Before his departure he visited his son, who was on his sickbed- Swearing terrible oaths. the Prince promised to retire to a monastery, there to lead a better life. but when Peter was zone, seeing that he could solved to elope.
 Setting out as if his destination was Copenhagen. the Prince, to throw possible pursuers off the track, made for Vienna Once there he put his destiny in the hands of his brother in law. Emperor Charles VI Peter. as soon as he heard of the elopement, sent his councillors, Romanon and Tolstoy to solicit the return of the profiigate Prince.
 On the 14th of February the three arrived in Moscow where the Prince was conducted to the presence of the Czar minus his sword. He presented to his father a paper containing a con- fessioa and threw himself at his fathers feet begging for mercy. But for all his oaths. the Car could not believe Alexis, and so, seeing that after his death, the son might make jest of his oaths of the remuneration of the throne, he ordered him to be tried.
 His trial took place before the Senate and states assembled, each of the judges desiring to suit his own purpose rather than that of justice. The Scriptures of the Old and New TeStamentS, the military and consti- tutional laws of the empire were all consulted and discussed In the passages that were read The Senate resolved that the ordinary judges should be brought in one by one and When this was through the ministers did the same, and. although heard apart, they were nearly all of the unanimous decision that the penalty that was deserved was death. The Prince on his part implicated the arch priest James, saying that when he had said that he wished his fathers death. James answered.; God forgive you; we wish that event as much as you''
 The Czar was merciless in the ex- animation, showing all the crimes in the strongest light, that no one could say that they had been minimized. | The unfortunate Prince entangled him self in the suit and at last the fatal sentence was pronounced to the effect | that it was with an afflicted heart and eyes full of tears, that we, ser wants and subjects, pronounce this | sentence" of the Prince being guilty | Of having formed a base design to kill their sovereign and to usurp the empire"
 The Car ordered the sentence to be taken to Alexis, and there made him read it. The death sentence together with the noison which is said to have been administered, caused the young man to fall into a swoon out | of which he never recovered till his | death. three days later

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

Most unfortunate was the ending of that incident off Fort Erie where death resulted from the violation of the duck hunting law along the inter- national boundary. It was unfortu- nate because of the risk which the hunters took for little sport. and because as alleged from Canada it was not intended to kill
 Such affairs never create any better feeling whatever may be the excuse or provocation. It is bound to stir up a lot of resentment which could better have been avoided, even though it appears to have caused as deep and sincere regret in the dominion as in this country.
 If the facts as disclosed thus far ara correct no small amount of the responsibility rested with the men. They were engaged in breaking the law and in doing so they were also techni- cally violating the law which prohibits the taking of firearms into Canadian waters without a license. Whether it was in their power to comply with tho demands of the Canadian officer, whether they did all they could in such an endeavor or attempted to get away from the position in which they were will he disclosed in the investigation but 1t would appear that 1t was too ir1- significant a matter for the shooting down of the men. Even though there may be nervousness along the border because of the fear of reprisals on account of the war. a shot in the air would have been sufficient to have halted the violators. If such was the order it shows a dangerous disregard for commands.

CITY AND TOWN JUDGES.

The announcement is made that a movement is on foot to reform the present method of appointing judges for city and town courts. Whatever may be the outcome of this effort, or the success of the plan proposed, 1t cannot but be realized that 1t is a step in the right direction. There should be no half hearted action about it. Such judgeships should be removed from the list of political footballs and whatever the change, if it is for the better, if can only be looked upon as tardy recognition of duty. Mat ters of such importance are handled through the city and town courts that the choice of judges should not be entrusted to log rolling methods.
 Just whether the placing of such app pointments in the hands of a special committee is the best manner Of handling the problem remains to be seen. The merits of such a plan de- serve to be thoroughly understood be- fore adoption, if there is sincerity in the move to overcome the undesirable features of the present method.
 The filling of such places is always the cause of extended political con- tests and endless pickering. It is time such appointments were placed on a basin similar to that in which vacan- cies on the superior and other court benches are filled. It is an office in which politics should play an incon- spicuous part. both before and after appointment. Men of character and qualifications should be selected, and if experience can be added thereto so much the better. There is no more ex- c1se for dropping efficient judges every two years in such courts than there is in the higher courts.

AMERICAN COMMERCE.

From the time that has been spent in the preparation Of that note from this government to Great Britain rel ative to the treatment of the com merce of this country on the high seas, it is made evident that every effort was put forward by this country to make it, as declared therein, friend Iy communication. It may cause some surprise to Great Britain but it cannot fail to be received in the spirit in which it was sent.
 If was realized from fine outset that Great Britain like other belIigerent nations was confronted with a multi tude of problems and due allowance was made for the manner in which 1t was considered necessary to hold up vessels and subject them to long delays while their cargoes were being searched. It is still realized that car riers of contraiband are subject to seizure but sufficient time has passed to secure relief from the unreasonable detention of ships and seizure of car goes of neutral nations, which characterized the early days of the war. Such, however, has not followed and 1t is but natural that protest, with a careful setting forth of the facts and claims should follow.
 There are rights which neutral na- t4on's commerce is entitled to even though it is matter around which there is still plenty of uncertainty. If Great Britain has not realized what it was doing for the demoralization of our commerce. and has failed to un- derstand the attitude of this country. it does so now, but with disposition to deal justly with such questions it is to be looked upon only as the ini- tial step towards the better under standing which is so greatly desired

Charles henrv pavis.

Mir. Editor: Kindly allow me to submit to you for publication in The Bulletin a few words as to the life Of the late Charles Henry Davis.
 In the death of Charles Henry Davis, noted in last Saturdays issue of The Bulletin, Norwich loses che of it's best types of citizenship. He was m many respects a unique personality. He was possessed of a masterful mind and sturdy common sense.
 The community in which he lived and all those who had the occasion of his acquaintance will mourn him, but few of us as yet fully realize the death of our friend, for we shall long bFance of his manly figure. his force full and enthusiastic personality and his many acts of kindness. He had the unfalterfng honesty of his ancestors. He could not do a dis honest or underhanded or mean thing. knew no guile and his soul no decep- tion.
 While he was not liberally educat- ed, the most important part of his ed- ucation was gained in the schools of practical experience. where his native age were developed to a very high degree.
 He never aspired for public mention nor was he materially successful in those things which the world counts as success, but rather in those things which count in the life to come. He was an honor to his name, his race and his country.
 He lived an honorable, full and peaceful life and will long be remem- bered with kindness and affection as a broad minded and high-souled gen. tleman-

There is no question but what there is lack of proper. knowledge as to the use of a library for the getting out of it the great and valuable in- formation which it contains, even. by those who are most likely to profit thereby. Knowing how to use a li- brary Is so important in the estina- ton of the United States bureau of education that an Investigation has been conducted to find out what edu- cational institutions in the country are doing as to instruction in the man. agement and use of libraries.'
 Out of 446 institutions of higher education replying, 91 gave definite library courses Of 166 normal schools replying to the bureaus inquiry, 9a reported instruction in library meth- ods.g Separate Mbrary schools have been established at five of the col- ~1ges and universities. Required
