telligent and liberty loving became
the policy Of the cars government
after 1905. Czarism has come to be
regarded in the world as the darkest
political institution among the Euro
pean nations. Popular imagination
began to ascribe to the car wicked
ness and tyranny. In reality he was
tool Of a mighty combination OF
subterranean forces that ran Russia.
The abdication OF the throne, there
are grounds to believe, will come to
the car as a welcome event. Al
though abdication was forced upon
him, he will surely be glad to be
relieved from the difficult post of
Russian emperor. His immense for
tune will allow him to pass his re-
naming days comfortably and in
safety.
The car and the czarina were mar
ried on November 26, 1894, twenty
five days after the cars ascension to
the throne. Car Nicholas ii. reign
ed for twenty-five years and four and
a half months. Today he is less than
forty-nine years old.
The car gradually became a fig
urehead in the Russian government.
His task was to sign DEGREES and
ukases prepared by others without
consulting him. 1t was about this
time that the influence of the monk
Rasputin, which was originally purely
religious, turned into a political force.
Rasputin made ministers and unmade
them. Minister Of Interior Protopop-
off was appointed to his post through
Rasputin's influence.

SILK STOCKINGS
DEMAND TAKES JUMP

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 29.-An un.
usual demand for silk stockings is
ascribed to short skirts, the war and
general prosperity by local whole,
salers in st. Louis.
Wholesale dealers here declare that
they have great difficulty in supplying
merchants with the hosiery needed TO
meet the new requirements of their
customers.
AS skirts have risen nearer the fem.

to be considered n necessity. is the
explanation of one dealer. In Ark
ansas towns. he said, where merchants
formerly carried little but the cheap
est grades of cotton goods, there is
now an enormous demand for silk
stockings retailing at $3.50 a pair.

as would have made Peter the Great
and Catharine groan in their graves,
had they learned of their unworthy
successor.
He was in constant fear of his rela-

the workingmen, while he was swayed
by mystics. such as the assassinated

and unprincipled courtiers.

ing the last fifteen years of his rule
Russia was the scene of unparalleled
internal strife. Pogroms, massacres
and assassinations make Russia's his
tory in the present century a record
of blood and suffering.
Surrounded by dark and pernicious
influences, he was easily swayed
from one view to another. II is a
well known fact that when certain
individuals in the court wished to
have things done, they resorted to
threats. II was enough, for instance,
for grand duke to stamp the ground
angrily and menacingly in order to
win his point.
There was time when Nicholas
II. did possess some initiative. That
was early In his reign. The Russian
people and the entire world expected
him at the time to grant liberties and
reforms to his nation. He made an
attempt to launch a world peace
movement by suggesting The Hague
conference. But his further endeayors
for progress were smothered by the
powerful Clique Of functionaries and
political chariatans pervading the Rus
sian court.

WILL RECRUIT
MEN FOR NAVY
kI N NEVADA
Coast Officers Plan Flying
Auto Trip Through
This State

The navy department at Washing
ton through its district Office at San
Francisco Is planning a recruiting
campaign throughout Nevada and
plans to send out an automobile party
early In the coming month to cover all
the large towns OF the state and many
of the smaller ones.
With the signing by President VIII
son last week OF the order increasing
the navy to $1,000 men, Secretary
Daniels OF the navy department has
issued orders to all stations to use
their utmost endeavors to secure the
recruits necessary to man the new
ships and ships which have been in
reserve.
Both the army and marine branches
in Nevada but the navy has none al
though a station in Reno is planned
for this spring. Owing to the neces-
sity of obtaining recruits Immediately
the San Francisco station will not
wait for the office in Reno to be es-
tablished but will send the automo-
bile party into Nevada at its earliest
opportunity. The officers will probably
spend two or three days in the larger
towns and at least a day in some OF
the smaller ones distributing litera
ture and explaining the requirements
OF the service to applicants. 1t is then
planned that the party shall return by
the same route, passing through all
the towns at which stops had prevl
ously been made and in this way
those who expressed a desire TO en-
list when the party made its first
canvass will have had time to have
settled up their affairs and more men
will probably have made up theiI
minds In the meantime to offer their
services.
