- When Czar Nicholas and his s_tafl_' were told of the success of the revoliitio_nlsi_S Ili Petrograd, it is said that onc_of his gener- als advised lilm to open the lines on the Dvina front and let the (Iermaiis settle with the canaille. To his lasting credit the Czar is said to have refused to commit \vliat would have been one of the most mons~ trous pieces of ti-cachei‘_\f in liistory. To- day, in Petrograd, there is an element that seems bent on committing a _crii_n_c against Russia and her allies that \vill, if consum-

able to the old regime. _ _The most hopeful thing in the mena- _cingsituation in Petrograd is that the is- sues of the conflict ai'e _becomineg more

against Foreign Minister Miliukofi and the

lthe things we sell and-the -thangsswe buy-, and all for ourselves. l How pitifully small our lives and our idoings look when compared with what ,they are doing over there in the larger life fof service and of sacrifice. Men on thc ibattlefields, \voinen in the munition facto,- ries and in the hospitals; fashion, pleasure, frivolit_v, what are these to them? They have bigger things to think of; they are saving the world, saving the-_ liberties' of those who are to comeafter them. , What to them is praise or blaifne-?'They are doing their duty, -serving their fellowmen, clean~ ing up the world. And we? Let us"'think git over while enjoying our comforts, while Llooking for entertainment, while trying in lvain to extract pleasure out of selfish' in- ,dulgence where pleasure never has been ;zind nevei' can be obtained.

While citizens are ‘ cleaning up their

Alawns, preparing gardens and otherwise preparing for summer their neighbors’ ‘hens are busily engaged in scratching up ,and destroyiiig the lawns and gardens. It ,appears there is no law forbidding the run--I ,ning at large of hens and it is argued iiil some quarters that the hen is therefore im- lmunc from the pains and penalties wished jupon it b_v the irate gardener. On the other ihand it is argued that the hen while a _source of income to her owner if kept at _lioine, is an unmitigated unisance when abroad and that therefore she is liable to

Provisional Government have sprung from conflict over foreign policy. The demand

of the Council of Workmen’s and Soldiers,

delegates has been for a comprehensive statement of thc new Govci-nmernt’s wai- aiins and not for a separate peace. The opposition to Miliukoff is due to differen- ces of opinion i'egarding Riissia’s minimum demands in case of victor_v. The chief cri- ticism of the Government as a whole was on account of the vagueness of the note to the Allies pledging Russia’s adherence to

all agreements. l

If this is all that lies behind the distur-‘

_ . I _ _ .

bances in Petrograd it would seem that a_ to maintain her on his newly planted ear.

settlement is possible. We are told in our American exchanges that the most drastic demands of the Entente as outlined in the note to President Wilson giving general peace terms, were made on behalf of Rus- sia. If the new Government asks less the Ententc can offer no objectiongso long as the chief aims of the war, the defeat of Germany and h"er allies and tlieoverthrow of autocracy, are adhered to. The last note from Russia to the Entente Allies was ex- plicit on this point. If it was too vague to meet the vicws of an element in Russia that is pi'eparcd to go on with the war, but docs not demand the inaximuni cxactions outlined by Mi1iukoll', agreement should be possible. This element, represented by Minister of Justice Kerensky, working with the Provisional Government, should insure the stability of the Government against the moi'e radical factions bent on bringing about a separate peace.

There is nothing in the terms of the

Ententc that should alienate the support of liberals anywhci~c_ They are lighting for deniocracy, and particularly for demo- cracy iii Russia. The British and French are today literally pouring out their blood for Russia, for it is to save Russia that they are making such desperate efforts in France. The United States is preparing to do the same. But democratic Russia, as opposed to anarchistic Russia, must help. The Provisional Government realiz- es this. It still holds the upper hand. If reason prevails it may save the nation from her foes at home and abroad. Otherwise not, and the next state of Russia will be worse than that under the old regime.

'I` HERE AND HERE

appears to be the sensible interpretation of -the law and some citizens are threatening to take this view of it, if certain hens per- Isist in their unwelcome visits. , When eggs are selling at thirt_v to foi°t_\-'I 'cents a dozen and the hen`s remains at 14, ,to 20 cents ' a pound the hen fis a_ noble, useful animal and sl'iould| ,be given every encouragement to live and’ ‘prosper-strictl_v b_v her owner, who re-; ,ceives the benefit of the high price of her, eggs and of her remains after her laying days are done and she reverts to the chic- ken stage. But her neighbor has no right

den or to allow her to take the place of his

i lawn mower.

The fortunate owners of ---l-i-e-ns~ will.

theieforc, we trust, observe the golden rule, which amply covers the case, pending ,au authoritative interpretation of the City .by-law relating' to nuisances; otherwise ,naturally, the neighbor will have to do un- §to the hen what she is going to do to his 'garden and he will do it first.

doubt an instinct and, like some ol' our* other original instincts, it is becoming' lmorc or less extinct. In the early days in 'this province, to be exact, in the year 1781 an act was passed “to prevent the inconve- niences and misfortunes which may arise lfroni the disorder of driving of horses and, ,negligently driving' of carts or any other carriages of burthen of any kind whatso-l ever. within -()hai°lottctowii_”

'l‘liis act specified “that from and after

the publication hereof, no person or per- fsons wliatsocvci' shall on any pretense whatever. gallop on horseback or, having' charge of or driving any horse or horses whatsoever, in any cart or other carriage of burthen of any kind, shall ride upon such-horse or horses, or remain placed in or upon any part of such cart or other car- riage within any of the streets or highways of the said town. And 'no such driver or drivers shall omit during such time to lead the shafter thill-horse by a halter not ex- ceeding four feet in length, nor shall he or they drive any such horse or horses faster than a foot-pace, upon pain of forfeiting ten shillings for every_such offense.”
