pose OF taking steps TO receive the attor-

the annual convention of the State Bar
Association was held In this city, and

but was distinguished by some eloquent
speeches. One other notable occasion
was the dinner 10 the State Bar Associa-
ton. when VIII II. Thompson. as toast
master, presided over one OF the most
brilliant displays of wit and oratory ever
afforded In the city. and TO which he
was not the least OF the contributors.
The bar OF Washington has some very
able speakers, and as the host OF the oc-
casion. King county should confine the
representation Of the local bar and ex-
tend as widely as possible the opportu-
nifty for attorneys from other parts az
the state TO be heard. The addresses be-
fore the association are usually OF very
high order. and OF great interest to the
profession. but the general public win be
interested In hearing men whose names
are only too infrequently waited across
the field OF Fame.
King county should show itself worthy
OF its royal name by giving the visiting
lawyers q royal reception

There In one phase of the Eastern ques-
ton which threatened at one time to at
tract a great deal OF attention but has
baen quietly passed over and lost sight Of
In the rush of more sensational events.
Early In the war between Greece and
Turkey Bulgaria demanded of Turkey the
appointment of three bishops in Mace
donna, and servla insisted upon the with
drawaI of Archbishop Ambrosius. Tur-
key acceded to both of those demands.
and this accounts for the absence OF that
rebellion In Macedonia which was expect
ed 10 do so much for the Greeks.
This concession means very much more
than the mere granting of few bishops.
Bulgaria is following out a line OF policy
which comprises the advancement OF Pan
siavlsm aud the consolidation Of the Bal
kan states. While the threat Of Bulgaria
and Servia seemed 70 be In support of
Creece's demands. the truth Is that Greece
and Bulgaria are as sn,agonIstic In re-
lIGion and race a. Turkey aud Greece.
The Greek Catholic churches in Turkey
are under the control Of the Greek pa
triarch OF Constantlnople. who Is nom
inaiiy bat not actually the head Of The
geumanian Greek Catholic church, the
Serysan Greek Catholic church and ths
bulgarian Greek Catholic church. There
are actually Independent national church
m both Roumania sad seryia. which
bold themselves entirely aloos from thu
rasriA-cAs ans' Bulgaria has not only a
naiianz! church under an independent
head. wat administers the affairs az tho
bulgarian parishes throughout Turkey IN
Europe without the approval Of the ps-
triareh. The bulgarian schssm. as q ia
called Is tending TO create separate
church government entirely distinct from
that controlling in Greece or Turkey.
Macedonia has been tho scene of later
operations. and there has been a very act
i've rivalry between Greece and Bulgaria
IN rrosoiytism. The controversy between
the Balkan states and Turkey. which the
former took advantage Of the war 20 fores
to climax. was over the question OF na.
tive bishops. bulgaria and scryia had
both insisted upon having natives an.
pointed 90 the criscorates, or az Ieas,
those IN sympathy with the local church
and this has row been granted.
While. therefore. Turkey has been war,

long more strictly TO the revolutionary

Failing. Of Great Men.

NsF 1ork world
Prof. William p. Trent of the University
OF Wisconsin has discovered that Thomas
Jefferson was visionary, suspicious
easy-going. sensitive, ambitious and
careless" besides q number OF other
things which Prof. Trent has felt con-
seientiously bound 10 put into a book for
the American market.
Perhaps 1t is all true, but IL is not the
whole OF It, IL would be easy to go on and
say that Washington was hot-tempered
and siaye-owner: that John Adams was
fat- vain and moved by a silly desire 10
initiate English royalty; that John Quin-
cy Adams had many decisions about him
sell and wrote extremely bad poetry: that
andrew Jackson fought duels. had street
brawis and was obstinate to the last de-
gree. that Webster drank: that Clay
gambled, and that the very greatest men
since their time have had habits as bad
as theirs. or worse.
IL all this were told in detail IL would
merely mean that great men are not demi-
gods. but merely men with human in
nrmities. many of which they never thor
oughly master.
The difference between them and some
other men is that they have done some
thing. After doing badly they tried again
and did better. Instead of setting to work
10 md out and expose the infirmities OF
their betters they did their best to initiate
their good qualities. They never ceased
TO be human, but they did cease to be
drones or mere critics of the class who
fancy they are proving their own superior
ity by demonstrating the failings Of
others.

1t Is easy to imagine how much OF q
farce this dealing with the sultan is. His
country is bankrupt and his people i'm
poveushed, and the porte has for fifty
years been a chronic beggar at European
courts. The sultan has craftiIy worked
them all. and because Of the jealousy be-
tween Russia, England and Austria, has
never failed to securet loans that have
kept the army in fairly good condition and
allowed millions for the maintenance of
his household, which practically amounts
to some 400 people. Rich nations may
possibly be able to keep up more or less
pomp around the throne. but it IL all hum

medan's seraglio.
