AFTER LONG STRUGGLE

CONSTANTINOPLE, March 8. - The
United States legation has finally obtained
official recognition of the examinations at
the American Medical College, Beirut, on
the same lines as the French examinations,
and also the settlement of the long-pending
question affecting the rights of the wives
and children of Armenians who have be-
come naturalized Americans to leave the
empire. They are now able to join their
husbands and fathers in the United States
without hindrance.
The council OF ministers has agreed to
recognize the American educational, chari-
table and religious establishments, and they
are now awaiting imperial approval 1t is
expected that authority will shortly be
given to the American archaeologist, Mr..
Banks, to undertake excavations at Tel
Abraham, Mesopotama, the supposed site
Of the tomb of Abraham. Mr.. Banks has
been waiting here for this permission for
three years.
The State Department has not been fully
advised of the concessions obtained by
Minister Leishman, and 1t is grat.fied that
the unofficial reports indicate his success
The records show that the government has
been working for many years to secure
these hngs. The Turk sh government has
up to this point declined TO recognize Amer
lean medical diplomas or even those issued
to graduates from American institutions In
Turkey. a fact which naturally greatly
diminished their usefulness.
A more important concession from hu-
manitarian point is that respecting the
wives and children of naturalized Arme-
mans. The Turkish government has here
tofore held that the wife of a Turkish citi-
zen who is naturalized in America does not
by that act become herself American.

The annual report Of the secretary OF

tory Of curious and useful information. Its

NOT AN ADVERTISING DODGE.

The Omaha Bee says: BARLEY has been
out Of prison now for more than a year.
He Is reputed to have investments in min
ing properties in Colorado and real estate
of considerable value. There is a we'll
defined rumor that most OF his time and
talents have been devoted to speculation
in grain options with funds recovered from
the wreck Of the state treasury. How
much Mr.. BARLEY has been able to collect
and how much he will eventually be able
30 recover is as profound a mystery as
are the contents of that historic cigar box"
demand is made for an investigation Of
the whole matter of the pardon, as well as
the absorption OF interest by Treasurer
Meserve. 1t is believed here in Lincoln
that a complete exposure of the BARLEY
matter would cause a shaking in places Of
high influence in both parties and that 1t
could not proceed far without being quietly
smothered because It might prove too
much. The editor of The Bee probably
knows this, and is beginning to shout for
the Investigation as an advertising dodge
Lincoln Journal.
The Bees demand for a legislative
investigation into the questionable
treasury transactions of BARLEY, Me
serve and Stuefer is not an advertising
dodge. 1t is made without regard to
any belief that complete exposure of
treasury crookedness would cause a
shaking in places of high influence in
both parties and would be smothered
because it might prove too much. The
demand of The Bee is for a thorough
| inquiry into the whereabouts Of the
! I,vy DO and tho
possibility of the state recovering what
was represented by the I-O-U's in the
much-mooted cigar box. If Bartley's
assertion that he would pay back every
could collect in the money owing to
him ever had any foundation, it is the
duty of the legislature to follow up the
stolen money and have it brought back.
The same is true with respect to the
states losses under Bartley's successors
in office. Treasurer Meserve is charged
with pocketing interest on school fund
deposits that should be paid back into
the state treasury and Treasurer
Stuefer with peculiar bond purchases
by which favored middlemen were en-
abled to cut off interest coupons amount
ing to thousands of dollars from
bonds bought with public money while
the bonds were in transit from the
county issuing them to the state house.
| If the facts are as they have been rep
resented the money thus diverted from
the school fund can and should be re-
covered.
The legislature will not discharge its
full obligation to the people If 1t shrinks
from this duty because of fear that an
investigation will uncover beneficiaries
of treasury looting in high places of in
f1uence.

rHp ADMINISTRATION SATISFIED.


The administration. according TO At
torney General Knox, is well satisfied
with what has been done by the pres
ent congress affecting the trusts and no
doubt conservative men generally are,
but this does not necessarily mean that
something further will not have to be
done for the regulation and supervision
of the combinations. In his first mes
sage to congress President Roosevelt
said that "the first essential in de-
terminlng how to deal with the great
Industrial combinations is knowledge
Of the facts-publicity." Further rem
edles, he urged, could only be de-
sermined after publicity had been OBJ
talned by process Of law and In the
course of administration.
This is conditionally provided for in
the new legislation. That is, the presi-
dent may in his discretion make public
any information obtained by the bureau
of corporations of the Department of
Commerce and Labor in regard to the
corporations engaged in interstate and
foreign commerce. There are some
who doubt whether this will be en-
tirely satisfactory, but we think there
are very few who will fear failure on
the part Of the president to give pub
licity to any facts which he shall deem
to be of value to the public. Mr.. Roose-
velt has been most earnest in urging
this legislation and It can be confidently
assumed that he will be no less earnest
in enforcing 1t. The corporations that
can be reached under the new legisla-
ton will be required to conform fully to
the terms of the law and the public will
be given whatever facts are of interest
to It.
What has been done is unquestion-
ably In the right direction and there
can be no doubt will have good results.
But as we have heretofore pointed out,
1t will undoubtedly be found necessary
to adopt a policy of supervision and
regulation in order to effectively check
the tendency toward Industrial monop-
oily. We do not underestimate the
value Of publicity, but 1t is only q par
tial remedy, as both the president and
the attorney general agree. It is ac-
ceptable as a beginning. 1t will not,
however, halt the movement toward
monopoly and the next congress will be
called upon to supplement it with leg
islation providing for thorough super
vision of the combinations
Meanwhile the country will expect
aggressive action by the federal author
tiles for the enforcement of the anti.
trust laws. They will have ample
means with which to do this and the
