 The royal prisoner was again brought before the tribunal. The charge was put to him, and again he refused to answer. Thereupon a great many witnesses were called, who, one after the other, testified against the king.
 On<the 27th it was ordered that the king be brought to the Painted Cham ber to receive his sentence. The charge was put to him for the last time, and refusing to answer it, Broushton, the clerk, read the follow ing: For all which treason and crimes, this court doth adtudge that he the said Charles Stuart, as a tyr ant, traitor, murderer and public en- emy, shall be put to death by severing his head from his body"
 The king asked to be heard, but they informed him that they would not hear him after his sentence, and he was taken by the guards to Sir Robert Cotton's house, and as he passed downstairs the rude soldiers scoffed at him, blew smoke of their tobacco in his face and one more fnso- lent than the rest, spat in his face, which his majesty patiently wiped off, taking no further notice of it.
 Afterward the king, hearing that he was to be executed the next day, be- fore his palace at Whitehall, sent an officer with the request that he might see his children before his death, which was granted him. The warrant for his majesty's execution was sign ed on the 29th and the next day he was beheaded shortly after noon-

 Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer- tain to follow continued use of inn proper food.
 Those who are still young and TO- bust are likely to overlook the fact that. as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion.

 Sometime ago I had a lot of trou- ble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medf- cines seemed useless.

FOR MExico,s BETrERMENT

Throughout the various stages of the Mexican trouble the question has arisen as to what can be expected in a change of administration. After Huerta, what?'' has been asked time and again and under the existing con- ditions 1t is but natural that 1t should be uppermost in the public mind at the present time. The past adrninis- trations and Huerta- have stood for different things in the government of Mexico which have not caused it to advance or establish permanent peace and such must come before much bet terment can result.
 In this relation it is an interestine programme which the Boston Tran scrips declares Mexieans must adopt before improvement will result. The five steps which must be taken are: , 1. Economic. The enactment of a land law modelled on the English pur- chase act for Ireland or our friar land legislation in the Philippines, givins the small land owner a chance.
 2. Political Such changes in the federal constitution as will make that a workable law. adapted to present conditions.
 3. Military. The organization of a 4pacificating' force such as the Diaz rurales.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Much To Learn.

We do not yet begin to realize democracy, which implies the organ ization and cooperation of the whole people.
 We are still in the ghost clutch of the class idea. We can only organize as classes. We can only love our own class. We still hate the classes not our own. We cannot understand or ganization for humanity. for the well
 We are still heather in our econom- ics, as we are in our strength. For we call race hatred, pride, greed. for cunning and wolf robbery-we call these motives practical. while we sheer at love, mutuality, ultimate jus tice and helpfulness as visionary and impractical.
 We do not as yet perceive the full, normal function of government We conceive it's business to be merely to punish crime: that it Is to stand off and not interfere until society, busf- ness or the Individual breaks down. As matter of fact, the government of the future will not punish at all; 1t will prevent, heal. cure. Slowly we are learning that business Is govern ment. that the only government is the organization of the industrial actiyi- ties of the entire body of the people. to make profits with equity to all, and to distribute profits. giving to every man his just due.
 Some day we shall realize that the system of private ownership of plant and capital on the one hand and class solidarity of labor on the other, fight ing and hating like wildcats. while the government of the people, by the peo- pie. and for the people" is compelled to keep hands of. is mad and wasteful system worthy only of haf-barbarous minds.
 Through what wild heats of insane selfishness, what means of money waste, what depths of bitterness and agony democracy must pass to reach the point where 1t can believe that plain, simple justice is best for all, That charity, benevolence and feudal kindnes arc but huinbug sabstitutss for justice!

FAMOUS TRIALS
THE TRIAL OF CHARLES L.

King Charles I. of England was tried before the high court of jus tice at Westminster on Jan. 20, 164s, for tyranny, treason and murder. The arrogant manner in which Charles att tempted to dominate over parliament was the the first step in his eventual downfall. Civil war broke out; many engagements took place with a varied success, but on the kings de- feat at Naseby he retired to Oxford, and on the approach of Fairfax, the parliamentary general, he threw him self on the protection of the Scots, who sold him to the parliament.
 Charles was finally arrested by a party of 500 -horsemen, under the command of Cornet Joyce, who rush ed into his presence with pistols and told him he must go along with them. Resistance, of course, was in vain and Charles stepping into his coach, was safely conducted to the army.
 Finally Charles was brought to trial. The indictment read in part as fol- lows: Whereas it Is notorious that Charles Stuart, now king of England, hath had a wicked design totally to subvert the ancient and fundamental laws and liberties of this nation, and in their stead to introduce an arbi- trary and tyrannical government. and he hath prosecuted with fire and sword, levied and maintained a cruel
 
 ment and kingdom, we discharge him. the said Charles Stuart, with the crimes and treason mentioned, and demand that he appear to answer these charges"
 The trial was begun on Jan. 20 and sixty five members sat in judgment, with John Bradshaw as lord president. On this day it was demanded that the prisoner be sent for, and he appeared in about quarter of an hour. The charge, which was a long one. was read to him. During its reading the king sat in his chair, looking some times on the court, sometimes up to turned about to behold the guards and spectators. Then he would sit down with a majesti6 and nnmoved countenance and sometimes ssmiled, especially at the words tyrant. traitor, murderer and public enemy to the commonwealth.
 When the king had heard the charge he demanded to know by what power he was called hither, and upon his refusal to answer the charges he was ordered to be taken away by the guards.
 The court convened again two days later and proceeded to consider the kingss behavior and decided that when he was again brought before them they were resolved that he must am swer to the charge. Should he re- fuse a second time. it was ordered that the president should command the clerk to demand of him, in the name of the court, the following:
 Charles Stuart. you are accused, in the name of the people of England, or divers high crimes and treasons. which charge has been read unto you; the court requires you to give a posi- uve answer. Whethsr you confess or

MEDIATION.

With the fixing of the date for the meeting of mediators when repre- sentatives from this country and from Huerta will be heard, mediation Is being referred to as if 1t was an ever day affair and without a reali- zation of the many slips which are possible Or the technical limitations under which it is conducted. Medi- ation is one of the ways for adjust ing the differences between nations without war and as defined by the standard authorities on international law it consists in substance of the reference of the cause of difference to one or more disinterested powers who suggest a remedy, or more fre- uuently propose an adjustment based upon such mutual concessions as will remove the cause of difference or ir- ritation. It may be asked by the in- terested nations or outside powers may tender their good offices with a view to the maintenance of peace. When friendly powers tender their good offices the interested ones may accept them or not as they see fit and may later accept or reject the suggestions of the mediators, being under no enforceable obligation to abide by them.
 The mediators are a tribunal act ing in an advisory capacity and are not a court of arbitration whose findings and awards must be adopted. The weight and effectiveness of any ad- justment proposal formulated must therefore depend upon the spirit of fairness which is contained therein and to a great degree the success of mediation in averting war rests with the mediators and their ability to map out a course of action or a compro- mise which neither party can afford to disregard. It is a service the value of which should be exhausted before WAT is actually entered upon.

TIME 10 PREVENT REPEnTloNs

While it may be thought by some that the imposition of . good sized fine in the case against Stanhope Nix on. the Yale undergraduate charged with assault while in an intoxicated condition, upon s prominent New Ha- ven citizen, was not as much as the offense deserved. it is evident from the criticism by the New Haven judge that the lax conditions in the city and institution contributed materially to the affair. The punishment inflicted with the attendant notoriety and inn paired reputation cannot fail to have a beneficial effect upon his future con- duct. His escapade from first to last is bound to be looked upon as an ex- ample to be avoided.
 The Nixon case, however, presents to New Haven and Yale authorities, a task which it cannot longer neglect. It has brought to light conditions con corning the sale of liquor to minors, which it was known existed, though it might have been hard to get the evidence, hut which were not prevent ed. There had been other cases Of less serious character which had estajb- lished the fact and Nixon was only a victim of the illegal practice. Is it any wonder that MT. Nixon felt her son had been unfairly treated?
 Thus the question is not so. much as to whether Nixon received sufh- cient punishment, but what Is New Haven and Yale going to do to pre- vent the repetition of just such af- fairs? Conditions which lead up to them have been overlooked in the past, sufficient at least to permit this sad and serious revelation, regardless of what previous knowledge existed as to the violation of laws and lax disci- pline. It should mean the end of such conditions It is moral duty which cannot be lodged.

Gilman is running overtime, the old general country store is once more well stocked with such good as are found in a good country store, every tenement in the village is rented, and to good large families at that: the postoffice business has greatly in- creased. in fact the two mail clerks are kept busy where one young girl used to do the work in the store.
