Purifying politics is a matter which rests with the indl- viduals, but so far there seems to be Do great rush to avail themselves of the opportunities granted. The primary does not prevent the widespread use | of mohey and influence: it does not in- spire the voter any more to the exer- cise of his privileges and duties and it does not accomplish any different results, except that thereby it rests within the power of the people to get out and express their will, instead of delegating it to someone else in an indefinite manner to exercise about as he pleases. : The primary permits many eandi- dates to enter the fleld, but many are the instances' which reveal the in- abllity of the voter to arrive at a de- cision as to which one he prefers. It ‘is the candidate with the financial backing who can go into the primary campaign and maKe the fight for rec- ognition.

With the opening of the mediation conference at Niagara Falls there has been instituted an effort in behalf of peace which should have the endorse- ment and support of not only those countries and parties involved, but of the entire world. Its object is to prevent war and all that goes there- with, bring about the establishment of peace in Mexico, overcome its chaotic conditions and help it to readjust its government for the benefit of the re- public and the future of its people, as well as perform the duty which de- volyes upon every country to exert its best influence in helping others to reach a sound and sober settlement of difficulties. ~ Ambassador da Gama fIn opening ‘address to the gathering after declaring that the gathering is the expression of he sentiments of that human soli- darity which, not content with enjoy- ing peace in solitude seeks to extend its benefits to all” cloged with the well expressed hope that “above all this tumult will be heard the clear and persuasive voice of reason counselling the sacrifice of persons in favor of the eollective interests of the people and spreading the gospel of peace and jus- tice.” Upon the attainment of such & re- sult will depend largely the success of the unde: ng. That it deserves to succeed cannot be questioned. It is a great task which has been tackled. It already shdws excellent progress along the line of adjusting conditions which concern international as well as internal war, and the fulfilment of the ambition will be a magnificent lesson to the world, EDITORIAL NOTES.

At the same time Yale as not been training for this two- mile race. The results of the two races that Yale's second crew was entered in at Philadelphia were that in the! junior race Yale lost frem Harvard by balf a length, with Pennsylvania, the Navy and Princeton next in place, and in the senior race, two hours later, the same Harvard crew won, leaving ‘Yale in fourth place. In the Harvard boat ‘Wwere five university men, and_since the Yale boat’s return to New Haven they have been beaten over an equal course by the first crew by three lengths, Coach Armstrong said this week that the general development of the créw is de .d:y bat Jateness of the spring, and the conse- quent lack of quiet water on the har- bor. On account of this, the coaches have not considered it advisable to push the men very hard for speed in order that it may not interfere with their development for the Harvard race. The average weight of the crew will be somewhat below what it should be, said Coach Armstrong, and it will not match up with the sert of crew that Yale llkes to put on the water, but as no material is available to in- crease the weight it will have to re- main where it i At the same time he believes Yale will give Cornell an interesting fight.

Ringland’s History vs, Fiction, and Not a Tudor, but Stuart. Permit me to give a little more light on Eng- land's history during the 16th century. After the death of Richard III, the last king of the Plantagenet family, came Henry Tudor (Henry VII) who married Lady Bessde, eldest daughter of Bdward IV. Henry VII was anxious to make grand marriages for his four children andi made peace Wwith Scot- land by marrying his eldest daughter, Margaret, to James IV of Scotland. For his_eldest son, Arthur, Prince of Wales, he obtained Katherine, daugh- ter of the King of Aragon, and Queen cover America. After Prince Arthur died, Henry VII did not want to lose all the money and jewels which Kath- erine brought from Spain, then the most powerful country in the world, and married Katherine to his next son, Henry, Mary of When Knighthood Was in Flower fame, was married to the old and feeble King Louis of France. Margaret Tudor's son, James Stuart (James V) of Scotland, married Mary of Guise. Their daughter, Mary, became Queen of Scots when only a week old. This proves Queen Mary had the Tudor as well as Stuart blood. King Henry VIII had three children, Mary by Katherine of Aragom, Bliza- heth, illegitimately by Ann Bolyn (di- vorces not being lawful at this pe- riod). - Katherine died shortly before Anne Bolyn was beheaded, Henry VIII then married Jane Seymour, who had ome son, Edward, who became King Edward VI at the age of nine. After Bdward came his sister, Mary I. During her short reign England lost Cakls, port of France. After Mary's death the next lawful heir was Mary Queen of Scots, notwithstanding her cloaudy birth, Elizabeth was crowned queen; at her death. Mary Queen of Scots' son hecame King James 1 of England, ~He also being James VI of Scotihnd, and was the author of King James' version of the Bible. The Douay version from the Latin vulgate Wwas the version used hefore James 1's relgn and is still used. ‘When the two queens met at Fath- eringay,. each addressed the other as “My mogt dear sister,” according te Scheiler in his history, alse his drama Mary Stuart as played with greai suc- cess by tke late Mdme.

Some of them were with Elihu club this week, ofsthe most prominent, including the leader of the “movement” against the sepjor societies, were sacrificed. The Elihu club will make a few more elec- tions next fall, however, and these may then be included. To some, now, the success of the.reform wave is rather doubtful, for where most needed it did not seem to have effect.

The freshman nine defeated Irving school 4 to 3. Finally, the tennis squad won from the Amberst players 6-0. At Harvard, the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa nine beat the Yale chapter's team 13 to 10. At the fleld Wednesday afternoon Yale lost the midweek game, with Brown, by the score of 2-1. The vis- itors won it by three singles off 'Way in the ninth. In the last half of the ninth Middlebrook reached third for Yale, but Henry tightened and saved the game by striking out Way and helding Hunter safe. For the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Yale Medical school next month at commencement time, many arrangements are being made, and among the things most encourag- ing to the school just now is that the sum of $600,000 that was needed for closer affiliation with the New Haven hospital is practically assured. The centennial committee, of which Dr. ‘William H. Carmalt is chairman, has engaged the Hopkins grammar school building for the headquarters of the medical school alumpi, and the house opposite the school has been engaged for the alumni and their families. The principal exercises are to be in Wool- hall on Monday afternoon, June 5, and President Hadley will speak, Dr. Walter Steiner, '92, of Hartford, will make an address on the historical development of medicine, and Dr. Wil- liam H. Howell of Johns Hopkins uni- versity will speak on Some of Medical Education. In the evenin there will be a dinner at Commons, l-ns on Tuesday a !uncheon before the Har- vard ball game, to which they will march like the other returning classes. The Yale bow] committee of twenty- one had a meeting in New York city last week to take up the blems of financing the bowl and of putting a track in the structure. The treasurer's report showed that during the past| eight months voluntary contributions to the bowl fund had been very small, so much so that unless money is forth- coming the committee will hardly be able to finish the bowl, leaving out of the question the development of all Yale’s athletic facilities, as as first planned. - The committes, however, finds that the shortage of funds is not a peculiarly Yale state of affairs. With the exception of the Princeton stadium, ‘where one man has given all the mon- ey, undertakings of the kind elsewhere are suffering just as Yale is, and the committee is still hoping that gener- ous and wealthy Yale graduates will be found éven now ready to help out in the great athletic project. That there is no opposition to the movement and that the lack of money is due to general financial stringency is shown by the fact that the Yale corporation {tself has contributed a large amount to the bew! buliding fund.
