ce Stolypin. >? 
The death of the Russian Premier 
Stolypin from the wound inflicted 
by an assassin during a festival pro- 
duction at the Municipal Theatre 
two weeks ago, tells in very forcible 
language that the days of anarchism 
and unrestrained enmity against 
rulers are not at an end. It must 
be remembered before criticisms are 
made of Russian law and order that 
three of our own Presidents have 
been killed at the hands of assassins, 
the beloved Lineoln, the honored 
Garfield, and the lamented MecKin- 
ley. Such methods of gaining an 
end are cowardly, asinine and bar- 
baric. The hand of the assassin in 
governmental problems is a return 
to the childhood of the race when 
foree ruled and undesirable rulers 
were “‘eliminated’’ in the swiftest 
way, at the edge of the sword. 
Peter Arkatievich Stolypin came 
into power as premier in trouble- 
some days and the cares of state, the 
fears of anarchy, murder and massa- 
cre, accompanied by personal danger 
have been his hard lot. The econdi- 
tions in Russia are still unsettled 
and when eareful thinkers in Russia 
are uncertain as to the outcome it 
is correspondingly true that Amer- 
ican students are not in a position 
to judge of the effect the death of 
Stolypin will have upon the problem 
of government in Russia. For Rus- 
sia is passing through a transition 
period. The governmental policy is 
oH s Po Olid thee ty 
archaic and to the American it lacks 
freedom, liberty and progress. The 
will of the people will prevail. The 
hours of dynasty, monarchy and des- 
potism are numbered and _ conse- 
quently the hope of Russia lies in 
the direction of greater religious, 
eduecationel and political freedom. 
England has solved her problem of 
government in part in its limited 
monarchy and in the limitations of 
monarchical despotism Russia will 
gain. Russia may not be ready for 
a democracy but step by step in the 
limitations of the monarchy the re- 
publican form of government may 
be approached and the liberties of 
the people increased. That the 
death of Stolypin must mean a 
change of policy in Russia, to a less 
or a greater degree, is apparent. 
The choice of his suecessor will be 
watched with interest, for it will in 
a measure, forecast the policy of the 
Czar of Russia for a few years and 
perhaps longer. The statement 
from the Russian Secretary of the 
Embassy here in Manchester should 
be a sufficient answer to the fears 
aroused by the death of Stolypin in 
Jewish communities. 
‘‘T left Russia before M. Stolypin 
came into prominence—he will be 
hard to replace. The appointment 
of premier rests, according to the 
Russian constitution, entirely in the 
hands of the Czar, and, though I 
ean think of several probable suc- 
cessors, it would not be discreet to 
name one in particular. 
‘‘No change in Russian policy is 
to be looked for, and I want to pro- 
test against the assumption pub- 
lished in so many papers that the 
Jewish community is in any partic- 
ular danger, owing to the assassina- 
tion. If trouble were contemplated, 
disorderly elements in Russia would 
have begun before this.’’ 
Ambassador Curtis Guild, for- 
merly Governor of Massachusetts 
may be depended upon to present 
the condolence of the United States 
to the Czar of Russia in keeping 
with courtesies due from one nation 
to another in such an hour as this. 
Misfortune. 
All evil cannot be considered 
merely as discipline but this is cer- 
tainly the result of the severest 
losses in hfe. The more severe the 
trial, the more searching is the reve- 
lation of weakness. And under the 
severest trials the apparently weak 
folks reveal the most stalwart char-

acters and there is in everyone that 
mysterious talent that can make, in 
the face of losses, a hero of every 
man and a heroine of every woman. 
To be immune from suffering is not 
the human lot but to live in its at- 
mosphere when it is the figment of 
our imagination and not our real lot 
is more than criminal. To bear 
losses, to meet misfortunes and fail-. 
ure with equanimity is a necessary ~ 
and indispensible quality in the ed- 
ucation and development of a hu- 
man life. To meet inevitable and 
unpreventable failure with courage 
and hope is a triumph. There is no 
question of the presence of suffering 
in human life but how surprisingly 
different are its results upon charac- 
ter. It mellows the life of one, and 
as the product of their affliction, 
they have been able to radiate sun- 
shine and happiness all along the 
path of their life. Others have had 
the fruit of their lives transformed 
into the vinegar of acerbity, re- 
bellion and discontent. Experiences 
have thus enriched one and ruined 
the other. Small disappointments 
are more severe than great trials. 
Often human lives have been able to 
bear up under the weight of heavy 
sorrows with more calm and peace. 
Like mighty ships weathering a 
heavy storm in a rough and terrible 
sea with triumphant endurance only 
to be held captive by a rising shoal 
of sand that appears and disappears 
with the rising and falling of the 
tide. Of all this, Robert Louis Ste- 
venson writes: ‘‘That which we suf- 
fer ourselves has no longer the same 
air of monstrous injustice and wan- 
ton cruelty that suffering wears 
when we see it in the case of others, 
so we begin gradually to see that 
things are not black, but have their 
strange compensations . . . I should 
bear false witness if I did not de- 
clare life happy.’’ 
Misfortune is only a passing of a 
cloud—there is light behind; our 
light is from above but our strength 
is from within. The trellis will bear 
the vine but it must cling with its 
own tendrills. The stake holds a 
young tree, but it must soon out- 
grow it and stand alone. Sympathy, 
love, affection and help are beauti- 
ful in life but they cease as powers 
when they are the sources of weak- 
ness. <A misfortune ruins’ that 
weakens. A misfortune makes a 
man when it obliges him to stand 
alone and face life with courage and 
determination. This will broaden
