NEWSPAPERS IN TURKEY.
Censorship Makes Them Lead a Sorry
 Existence.

From Harpers Weekly.
 The Turkish press of our day leads a
 rather pitiable life. The censorship
 watches over 1t with unrelenting severity, lest something may creep into the col
 umns of the newspaper that might even
 remotely. induce the mind of the faith ful Mussulman to examine into things
 existent or perhaps to doubt the God
 likeness of the Padisha and almost at
 every step the Turkish editors are threat
 ened with temporary or permanent sus-
 pensions, with fines or imprisonment Not
 only discussing questions of interior or
 foreign policy, but the use of certain
 words by the Turkish papers. Is prohibited
 once for all, among these words being for instance, constitution. revolution, lib- erty, tyranny, autocrat, fraternity, equal ity, fatherland, youth, dynamite. anar- chist, corruptibility, Bosnia, Herzegovina,
 Crete, Macedonia, and so on. The name
 Murad must not be mentioned as by
 this the reminiscence of the dethroned
 predecessor of the present Padisha, who
 was named Murad, may he called forth; even the cricket. that fnoffensive insect
 which in the language of the Turks is
 called the little August bettle'' is not allowed to chirp in. the newspapers. for the present Sultan ascended to the throne in the month of August. 4 Foreign rulers, of course, are equally unassailable, neither their defects nor their qualifications in general may be dwelt upon or even alluded to. Instead of this. the Turkish papers of today are filled mainly with bombastic reports on the deeds of the Sultan; as. for instance, that he for some reason made present or received new foreign minister, etc This situation is the more interesting as it is of rather recent date. for the censorship was first established after the Russian war, while up to that time the Turkish press enjoyed pretty far-reach- ing liberty which 1t not fnfrequently made use of for severly criticising dis. agreeable cr~ ~s'tior- ard unpopular offi. | cerS. |

From the Washington Post.


 ECRET SERVICE OFFICER NN JAMES SLOANE. bodyguard " of President Roosevelt has been placed under arrest on the charge of assaulting one Clarence Legendre, pho tographer, at Oyster Bay. As the Presi- dent was alighting from his train the photographer showed a black box forward and snapped the shutter of his camera. Instantly Sloane leaped upon the fellow and dealt him blow upon the cheek. Sloane is now to be tried before Squire Franklin for battery.
 We trust the law-giver of Oyster Bay will not only discharge Sloane, but com mend him for his alertness and bravery in looking out for the safety of the Presi- dent There was no time to investigate whether the man with the box was mere- ly a pestiferous camera fiend or an as- sassin in that disguise. The impertinence and boldness of the camera fend. and the fact that the President was momentarily exposed to danger. may have given the secret service officer good reason to be- lieve that an attempt was about to be made to kill the President. Without walt ing to determine this point, the officer very properly did his duty by knocking the camera man over. He would have been grossly negligent If he had done otherwise. Equal watchfulness and prompt action at Buffalo would have saved the life of President Mckinley.
 The President of the United States con- stantly exposes himself to the danger of ,ssa esipa tiop Ie will not surround hilp- self with troops or immure himself in a castle. as other heads of government see fit to do. The American people cordial,

 August then will find Birmingham a model of cleanliness. This is healthy town and clean streets and clean premises will keep it in prime sani- tary condition. It costs comparatively little to have the city clean all the year round, and the Mayor will spare no efforts in this direction.

PRESIDENTS BODYGUARD
 DID THE. PROPER THING

approve of the course of our President in minging freely with them. At the same time they realize the terrible risk that he runs, and they have repeatedly in- dicated their satisfaction with the knowl- edge that young. strong, brave men ac- company him everywhere ready to give their lives in saving his. This is all that can be done. and it must be done we'll if the President is to live All the people are aware of these precautions, and no one of sense would think of making an un- usual or apparently hostile demonstration In the presence of the President. It would be signal for the bodyguards to spring to the defense of the chief magistrate. In such case the safety of the President is the prime consideration, and such &C., ton Is necessary to insure it should be taken, without regard to the rights of others. No one behaving in an orderly manner will be attacked, and those Aehav- ing otherwise will not gain any sympathy if they are rudely handled. A shrewd as- sassin might easily impersonate one of the impudent camera fiends who thrust them selves forward on public and even private occasions, and the weapons of death could be readily concealed within the black box. If an attack had been made on the Presi- dent by this method there would have been plenty of wiseacres to rise up and point out after the event, how foolish it was to permit camera fiends to ap- proach so closely to the President.
 Secret Service Officer Sloane did exactly the right thing in jumping upon the camera fiend. The President is not the kind of man we take him to be if he does not approve of the vigilance and thickness of his glard

Nome Comlnu and Home f,ninn.

Nearly every state in the union is having it's home coming week and the transportation lines are beginning to prepare for an extraordinary rush of passenger traffic. But the first move ment for home going was inaugur- ated in Birmingham recently when steps were taken to send the Irish Americans on a visit to old Erin in 1907 on the occasion of the interna- tional exhibition in Dublin. The idea is popular and reports already received by the committee in charge of the en- terprise are encouraging. It is be. lieved that every state will send d good contingent of Irishmen and the descendants of Irishmen to Dublin next year.
 It is expected that the steamship lines will make an exceptionally low rate from this country to Ireland Dublin is one of the most interesting and most beautiful capitals of the old world and thousands of the friends of 1rish-Americans who have no Irish blood in their veins will doubtless avail themselves of this opportunity and go along with the crowd, for it is understood that the general public will be invited to join the home going ex. cursiOn

The Mining Engineer.

When I was young man engaged in mining said prominent coal operator, 'T did not appreciate the value of the mining engineer. I maintained that only a man of practical experience was needed in developing and operating the mines
 "In my later years I have come to See the importance of the. technically educated man. No company operating on large scale can afford to be without high class mining engineer. Many men who call themselves engineers are poorly educated and are therefore of little worth. But frst-class mining engineer at a salary of S10,O0O is worth every dollar he gets, for he will save the company employing a large amount of money. The old way of getting along without applied science is played out"

NICE the days of rare old Gin @1 cinnatus. after whom we have - Cincinnati. 1t has been the cus- tom of shrewd politicians to do a bit of farming now and then for no other pur- pose than to hatter the common people. An! they will tell you with every mark of candor that they love Mother Earth, that they long for communion with the soil and that 1t is the calloused hand for them every time but deep in their heaBts they know better. They hate dirt stains and sunburns and blisters yet they bear these hardships cheerfully, realizing that none is more potent than the man who is called from the blow to a high office. He has a handicap which less fortunate candidates cannot overcome, whiles the press in it's greed to picture his simple life advertises him far and wide over the land Old Cincinnatus set the example. Since his golden day, it is the dream of every politician to be reckoned close to the ground, especially those who have designs on the presidency. Why name a list of those who have gone be- fore? We are confronted now with the illustrious MT. Fairbanks who says that he will spend a fortnight tiling his farm in Illinois
