THE LUMBER ROOM OF EUROPE.

The recrudescence Of trouble between Greece
and Bulgaria follows hard upon trouble between
Greece and Rumania, and that In turn had fol-
lowed close after trouble between Bulgaria and
Rumania, while TO occupy the few brief inter-
walls in these tripartite embroiments there have
been troubles between Servia and Bulgaria be-
tween Hungary and Servla, between Rumania
and Hungary and between Greece and Turkey
while MacedOnians Of various stocks and the
incOrrigible Albanlans have been in chronic
states Of effervescence; all Of which goes to
show how fittingly he phrased it who first gave
the name OF the lumber room OF Europe TO that
picturesque congeries Of empires, kingdoms and
principalites where fragments of forgotten
peoples dwell in and around the rugged penin-
sula Of the Balkans.
II any one, weary of the simple life. desires
TO challenge paresis and TO defy paranoia, let
him construct, or even study and try TO master,
an ethnOgraphic map Of that southeastern cor.
ner Of Europe which shall show not only the
ordinary political divisions, but also those of
race Of language and of religion. He will find
the maze Of medieval Germany as simple as
checkerboard compared with it For not
merely are there two empires. four Kingdoms,
two princpalties and two anomalous protec-
torates involved, but there are Mahometans,
Jews, Roman Catholics. Greek Catholics OF at
least three separate types, Protestants. Arme-
mans and others, and there are two Roman peO-
pies, the Rumanians and the Zinzars or kutzo-
WaIIachs; four Slavic peoples. the Russians, the
Serbs, the Croats and the Bulgars: the IlIyrians
or Albanians. the Magyars. the Greeks. the Ger
mans and the Osmann Turks.

THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

An aggressive opening of Mr.. Herbert Par
sons's campaign for reelection TO the presi-
dency OF the Republican County Committee
was mada on Thursday evening and Mr. Par
sons has never appeared TO better advantage
than in the speech which he then delivered. 1t
is quite true that his opponents are making a
determined fight against him, and their estimate
of the feeling with which he is regarded by
some Of the so-called leaders may not be grossly
inaccurate But there is not the slightest rea-
son TO believe that their antagonism Is shared
by more than a small minority Of the Republican
voters in this county whose views and wishes
it is their duty to carry out. The election OF MI.
Parsons last fall was a response to the demand
that the party organization here should fairly
represent the membership Of the party. that It
should exist not to serve the political ambitions
and private interests of individuals, but to
stimulate the loyalty enlist the activity and re-
crut the strength Of the Republican forces and
give them an effective voice. 1t had too long
made the party useful to itself, and the meaning
Of Mr.. Parsons's election was that thereafter 1t
should be useful to the party.
Such at least, was the meaning which Repub-
Ican voters put upon the choice OF the new
president OF the committee. That their inter
pretatiOn Of the act did not describe the purpose
of some who joined in electing Mr.. Parsons was,
of course we'll understood at the time and no.
eSts9SSANS.c
themselves when they conceived that the op-
perfume moment had come. he does not har-
mOniZe nicely with their views or fit snugly into
their plans 1t does not suit their policies to
have the organization become the sympathetic
and efficient instrument of the party whose
name 1t employs. The reverse Of that rela ton
is the ideal which they cherish. But we can
not conceive, as we have said. that the sentiment
of the voters has altered in any material degree
since last fall They were weary of system
which was serviceable to those who had con-
trived and controlled IT, and to nobody else.
They made it plain that they wanted change,
and they, at least accepted In good faith the
change which the compulsion of party opinion
brought about.
Nothing has occurred to weaken that feeling,
whereas some things have occurred to
strengthen 1t since the last election. Mr.. Par
sons has done himself credit IN clearly defining
his position and making a straightforward ap-
peal from his personal opponents to the party
at large If the machinery of politics were we'll
adapted to the purposes which it processes to
serve there would not be the faintest doubt of

4 CRY OF DISTRESS

Tho Democratic Congressional Committee has
been In the main a restful and innOcuOus body.

friends or haTried its supposed enemies. Its
chairmen have usually been statesmen with in
dustrious and vivid imaginatiOns and a gift at
lightning calculation. With the aid Of cOlored

they have been accustomed to carry the House Of
Representatives the day they opened headquar-
fers and keep Il safely carried until the morning

while the campaign lasted, added materially to
the stock OF national gayety and faced defeat

spirit, if we are TO judge from the remarkable
efusion Tor which the committee has just been
made responsible by its secretary Mr. Charles A.
Edwards.
Mr.. Edwards seems 20 have been annoyed by
President ROOsevelt's letter to Representative
James e. Watson outlining the issues Of the Con-
gTessiOnal campaign. That letter put the case
80 the voters in a way which Mr.. Edwards
wants lt understood he does not relish. He
thinks that the President Is taking a mean ad-
vantage OF the Democratic campaign managers
by throwing himself thus irresistiby intt the
fight. HE knows" laments this discouraged
Democratic statesman. THAT his Congressional
campaign managers are not equal to the situa-
'iOn, ard because Of his personal popularity with
''the people Of this country, who do not know his
motives and do not understand him. who, belev-
'lng that he Is lighting in their interests will in
~dOrse him, he assumes the management OF the
campaign with the glad acclaim OF the Republi-

Not one is willing TO accept the rule OF an

any political problem is impossible. even when
it is racial, linguistic, social and religious as
well as political; yet this surely verses close
upon It. The irresistible dominance OF soihe
great external power might arbitrarily solve the
problem, for so long time as 1t might be mann

dent must take his chances aloEg with the other
obstructionists who have crossed MI. LuWards 5
path The fiery secretary OF the Denocrallc
committee will undertake TO convince the coun-
try that il is utterly mistaken In its estimate or
President Roosevelt, that the man 1t has learned
to honor as dislnterested, high minded and
public spirited political leader is pretender and
a humbug "a fakir''-to quote sample OF Mr..
Edwardss urbane and polished rhetoric-'who
could make more money selling soap at the tall
gate OF a wagon than any fakir ever heard
"of or saw in my life"
In cheapness and coarseness the Edwards
statement was so offensive that few Democratic
newspapers printed it 81 full, and the whole per-
fornance has been condemned in the Democratic
press as a silly and improbable ebullition OF
malice Yet the incident is significant In that 1t
defines the real issue of the present national
campaign. President Roosevelt's policies are up
for approval, and all the weight Of his influence
is being thrown TO re-elect Republican House.
That is the specific Endorsement he asks at TINS
time from the voters and the Democratic man
ayers are naturally at their wits end TO meet
such an appeal. This latest outbreak only
shows their desperation. For after supporting
all the Presidents important policies in Congress
the Democratic leaders could do nothing more
inept and futile than to turn around ana seek
