ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

The efforts of the demo cratic press to
couple the names of President Roose-
welt and VIM. J. Bryan is about as
successful as that Of few years ago
to couple Mr. Bryan's name with that
of Senator Ben Tillman. Mr. Bryan
encourages this effort by compliment
ing President Roosevelt and asserting
that the President stands for the
Democratic platform and policies.
But there is no excuse for misunder-
standing the positions of either Presi-
dent Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan. They
have both been very free in express
sing their views on all public questi-
ons and their expressions are public
property. On the tariff the Presi-
dent has expressed himself unquali-
fedly as a Protectionist, and said that
the tariff should not be revised until
revision would do more good than
harm to the great interests Of this
country 1t should then be revised
in harmony with the protective prin-
ciple. ilnHEIT
Mr.. Bryan is one Of the most rad
ical opponents Of protection. He de-
clares that protection is robbery and
that the tariff should be for revenue
only There is no more harmony be-
tween Roosevelt and Bryan on the
tariff than there is between Speaker
Cannon and John Sharpe Williams,
OF than there was between VIM. Nc
Kinley and VIM D. Wilson, who was
ain open advocate Of free trade.
There is the same radical disagree
ment between President Roosevelt
and MI. Bryan on the money ques-
ton. The President is just as staunch
al advocate Of the gold standard as
was President Mckinley, and Mr..
Bryan still believes that he was right

BULGARIA.

The population Of Turkey in Eu-
rope is little over 100000 and that
Of Bulgaria nearly 100000. OF the
nearly 100000 Bulgarians but about
half million are Turks. The Govern
ment Of Bulgaria has long been who'll
iy independent of Turkey, but by the
treaty Of Berlin i pays to Turkey an
annual tribute. Why it should pay
tribute is hard to explain. Intact, the
only reason why it should do 50 is
that the European Congress of Ber-
lin following the last Russo Turkish
war, said it must pay it. For that mon
ey Bulgaria gets nothing, for the Tur-
kish Government has neither the de-
sire nor the ability to give anything
whatever in return for the money.
Bulgarians hate Turks and Turks
hate Bulgarians And no more tri-
butte vii be paid. It is not possible
for Turkey to coerce Bulgaria, and
the feeling is such that the Bulgar-
ians are aching to have Turkey at
tempt coercion.
Of course, it is unfortunate that
these things should happen while the
Young Turkish patriots are trying to
create decent government for their
country, but Bulgaria is for Bulgaria
and Austria-Hungary is also for it.
self, and this transition period is just
the chance they were both waiting
for, when Turkey is least able to Of
fer resistance and there is no agree
ment whatever among the great pow
ers. In neither case will there be
any noticeable change in political re-
lations. Bosnia and Herzegovina
will be governed as a province Of
Austria-Hungary, instead Of by the
Emperor-King as a separate and au-
tonomous district. Bulgaria will stop
paying tribute. That is about all
there is of it, and it looks as if "Eu-
rope" would scowl and make the best
of it.

The star and crescent on the Tur-

hieroglyphic characters of the Ian
guage of Mesepotamia. The cres-
cent and star were used as charm
by the ancients TO drive away evil
spirits. The character was pro-
nounced 'shiptu' and was used as
an incantatlon 5000 years ago. In
accordance with this superstition it
was placed on the flag of the nation
