Beirut, and the consular officers are con-
tinually called upon to prevent the Turk
ish authorities from invading their rights.
The line between Turkish and American
Jurisdiction is not wen defined. but under
the circumstances no blame can well at
tach to this government or to its agents
for insisting upon full respect for our pass
ports by so treacherous and fanatical a
power as Turkey.
The assassination OF Magelssen may be
due solely to personal troubles. But even
so 1t stands as type of the misgovernment
Of the porte in region where increasing
world interests require effective admins
tration. The United States has had re-
peated occasion in the past to call Turkeys
attention to its failure to maintain the re-
CURED standard Of discipline over its Mos
lem subjects. and its experiences have
proved that only by virtue Of the sincere
threat of force Is It possible to secure re-
suits. In this affair we may be treated
to some such exhibition of Moslem craft
as was displayed in the case of LEM. the
American bicyclist who was murdered by
Kurds in Armenia a few years ago. The
Turkish government displayed the most Of
fensive indifference to the demands of JUS
tice and did not act until actually threat
ened with a breach Of relations. Then 1t
solemnly went through the farce of trying
the murderers in their absence and con-
demning them to death. a mockery Of JUS
tice which the sultan conceived to be full
reparation.
1t was virtually assured in the LEM case
that the criminals were well known to the
Turkish authorities. 1t was practically
proved that they were soldiers in tho sui
tan's uniform Yet they are living today,
unless they have since died natural deaths
or have been killed by their Christian neigh
bors. Turkey may now set up the same
plea In the Magelssen case and pretend to
be unable to apprehend the murderer or
murderers. Warned by the farce Of a few
years ago. this government, having started
its protest In so commercially vigorous
manner, should not rest content with mock
trials. Whatever is done to punish the
offenders or to render American citizens
safe In the sultans domains should be con-
Spicuously thorough

however. that Judge Taft in the War De-

The Right to Check Spectators.

The Crime at Beirut.

While awaiting the details of the assas-
Beirut. 1t is gratifying to know that this
government has lost no time in declaring
It's purpose to require the utmost repara-
ton from Turkey for the outrage The or
dering of fleet to proceed to Beirut signi-
hes that the administration Intends to sup
piement Its demands with the only argu-
ment which prevails with the sultan These
orders do not necessarily foreshadow an
act OF war. Indeed. in the light of the
speedy and abtect apology of the porte I'M
der the shadow OF the Russian guns at
Iniada the other day it is not to be doubted
that the arrival Of the American squadron
on Beirut will be the signal for an equally
expeditions effort by Turkey to soothe the
wounded feelings of the United States
This crime cannot be regarded as In the
least degree likely to involve the United
States in the tangled affairs of Turkey in
Europe. 1t has only general and remote
relation to the conditions in the Balkans,
which are now menacing the peace of Eu-
rope. That relation arises from the fact
that everywhere in Turkey. whether in Eu
rope or In Asia, the Moslem is bitter In
his hatred of the Christian. and the Turk
lsh government is either willing that this
spirit should proceed even to murderous
lengths or is unable to check 1t within the
bounds demanded by international rela-
lions. The Beirut crime and the Balkan
disorders arise from a common cause. the
anomaly of temporal sovereignty over a
great mass of mixed religionists by the
fanatical head OF a militant church
Beirut has been Increasingly the scene
OF disorders during late years. 1t may be
that much of the trouble eliminating in
the killing of Mr.. Magelssen. is due to the
fnjudicious use by Syrian-Americans of
their naturalization as citizens of the

Bread and Cake Boxes.

There is some difference Of opinion
as to the proper place to store bread
and cake. A great many housekeepers,
following time honored precedent, still
keep their bread and cake in large
stoneware crooks, fitted with covers
The objection to these is that they are
very heavy to lift, and in summer are
apt to invite mould, unless they are
kept in a dry, upstairs closet. SucE
bread crooks should be scalded OUT
every time they are filled, or as often
as twice a week. Cake crooks neeo
not be scalded out so often. They
should both be cold and dry when they
are filled again and shut up.
Bread crooks are so heavy and cause
so. much unnecessary labor that large
boxes of tin enamelled on the outside
have been substituted for them. There
are however, more objections to tir
than to stone ware. Tin is apt to give
"tinny" taste to any bread or cake
kept in it. To avoid this some bread
boxes are furnished with ventilators
This dries the bread Sometimes draw
ers for cake and bread are fitted II
storerooms. These are lined with tin
and are better than anything else, IL
furnished with linen cloths, in which
the bread or cake is wrapped securely
from contact with the tin, though they
are not impervious, as nothing but ar
alright. covered box would be, to at
tacks of kitchen insects, which in thu
city may sometimes invade the neates'

appreciate their blessings, one of whicf
is immunity from insect pests wher
