TURKEY WANTS THE EARTH

"The sick man of Europe" is conval-
escing so rapidly that he promises to
keep the powers of Europe exceedingly
busy this summer.
We have been thinking that a rigorous
breath would blow the Turkish empire
to Jericho, but the sultan has gathered
an army Of 100000 we'll drilled and brave
soldiers around him. armed to the teeth
with the best modern weapons.
The great powers of Europe have made
this army what it is. They have taken
the part of the Turk against the Greek
when the latter was doing what ali Eu-
rope has been doing for years. The Ger
man empire rests on the principle of the
unificatton of people of the same race
and language. The same is true of
Italy. The annexation of Crete was an
aspiration in the same direction. But
what was right elsewhere was held to
be wrong here, and Greece was peremp-
torly ordered to withdraw from Crete
So far so good. But the Turk has won
couple of battles in such style as to
surprise himself at his own prowess.
The powers now find they have llindled
a spark that is harder to quench than
the old Greek fire. The war party in
Turkey is strong, and demands as the
price of peace conditions Greece can
not agree to, and which the powers do
not want Turkey to have the benefit of.
The payment Of 91000O,O00 indemnity
and the ces,sion Of Thessaly is practically
the disruption and bankrupting of
Greece. 1t is almost certain that the

but under Spanish rule that commerce

INVESTIGATE OR HUSH

The United States supreme court de-
cison in the Chapman case, which con-
firmed the power Of the senate to COM
pei a stockbroker to answer questions
within his knowledge as to whether SEN
ators had speculated in sugar stocks.
does not seem to have impressed the
senate with the unmixed satisfaction
that its Importance might seem to war
rant. The report has gone abroad that
while the sugar schedule of the new
tariff bill was still in the hands of the
committee, certain senators availed
themselves of knowledge of it's terms
to speculate in sugar stock, and thereby
realized handsomely upon the invest
ment.
In the presence Of this new scandal
the old one under which the Chapman
inquiry arose seems to have lost all
its interest. At all events. the disposi-
the investigation of alleged crooked
ness, that had it's origin more than three
years ago, is farfrorn unanimous There
are two ways Of looking at this con-
ciliatory tendency. One is that the
accusations that have come down from
the date of the Wilson bill are now
too stale to justify further inquiry and
should not be further agitated at this
remote date. This is supposed to ac-
count for the apathy of the senate in
the light of it's affirmed authority.
The other view is far more radical. It is
insinuated that the senate was not quite
so greedy for power as the decision of
the court might be held to assume. The
senate believed that il was entitled to
a fair allowance of the bread Of inquis-
itorial power, but when the supreme
court handed down a whole loaf, it felt
embarrassed. This greater award made
it possible to get to the very bottom of
the question of any alleged act of SEN
atorial thrift. To add to the embarrass-
ment of the situation, Senator Tillman
of South Carolina fancied that he dis
covered his associates in the very act
of making a plausible record Of "how not
to do it," and thereupon, referring to the
current rumor of senatorial speculation
