sympathy for the YOUNG Turks.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir; The
close business connections we have mao
for many years past with the Turkish En-
pire, together with my personal acquaint-
ance with many Turks. Armenians and
Greeks. leads me to take an active interest
In the present troubles In the Leyant
Ae we'll expressed In some OF your recent
editorials. the underlying cause OF the
troubles seems to have been an effort made
by Germany and Austria to dscredit the
new Government OF Turkey in the hope that
a change of conditions might advance their
own interests in the particular spheres they
have so long coveted. It seems that the
new Government OF Turkey has completely
disarranged the carefully laid plans Of these
two Powers: so, taking advantage OF the
psychological moment before the new Gov
ernment had become well seated in Its
power, political intrlgues seem to have been
so directed as to cause the present upheaval
Bulgaria's action would appear suicidal had
she not first obtained assurances OF support
from some Of the great European Powers.
1t is TO be hoped that the present Otto
man Government will not be In any way
overthrown and that it's existing liberal
tendencies win not be curbed. Already q
decided impetus has been given TO trade
under the new Government. new financial
enterprises have been formed, agriculture
has taken new start, and the business
interests that formerly dreaded the Govern
ment are now looking to 1t as their pro-
tector. But. most startling Of ALL Moham-
medans. Christians. Jews and Greeks are
now working in harmony.
Turkey has great possibilities OF agri-
cultural wealth. and under good govern
ment II offers attractive prospects In many
lines OF business.

tice one Of them. You must get your
breeches and your firearms in London
or you are no real Nimrod.
OF course, this Ia said without preju-
dice to the greatest Huntsman Of them
all. He can kill elephants and rhInoce-
roses and hippopotami, to say nothing
OF lions, tigers, DC, in coveys, without
going to London or elsewhere for his
paraphernala. He is hors de c0ncouTs
and subject to no human rules.
We return to the reported fact that
the Count of TURIN proposes to invade
central Africa, handicapped to be sure
by his London equipment but other
wise optimistic. He is to take very
small retinue. Only two white oompan-
ions are to attend him, and he is not
to have a single doctor or photographer.
We can understand his hurry. OF
course he wants to get to Africa before
the jungles have been flattened. the
forests depopulated and the fauna en-
tirely destroyed. Here we offer him
our sympathy and comprehension. We
do not believe, however, that he can
realize all his expectations. There is
only one in the whole world who can
exterminate the wild beasts in all terri
tories without going to London for his
leggings and his ammunition. The
Count will fall short, even with this
early start in his favor.
The Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT will
preside over central Africa as he does
over Washington or New York. When
he leaves Africa there won't be a reptile
in existence. The newspapers will say
so, and the Count will not be in it.

A Faint Hearted spelIbinder.

There Is q certain aloofness in the
point Of view OF the Hon. LESLIE M.

as he surveys the Presidential struggle.
He observes that there has been no
campaign in his time 'the result Of
which might bring 80 many local and
even national surprises and then he
explains himself:
Il think 70 unfortunate that tho American
people now have no conservative leader. No

Political Chadbandlsm.

Some excellent souls in this State
seem to be under the yoke Of delusion
They imagine that Governor HUGHES
represents Virtue and Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor CHANLER Vice. Only by support
ing the former, they think, can they
support the Constitution and balk the
raoetrack gamblers. They are really
injuring Mr.. HUGHES by this gross un-
fairness to his opponent. This sharp
differentiation of the community into
sheep and goats irritates the sense of
fair play. 1t is unpleasant to have to
notice that the Governor has himself
fallen into the Rooseveltian habit OF
abusing those who differ with him and
calling them crooks" Mr. HUGHES and
Mr.. CHANLER are equally and necessar-
lily pledged to the enforcement OF the
Constitution and the laws, Il have
desired" says the Governor, that there
should never be any question in this
State but that the law and the Consti-
tuition were supreme and all control
ling" Applause. "H elected" says
the Lieutenant Governor, Il shall be
constitutional Governor. | shall do
my duty Under the Constitution of our
State. / shall enforce the laws of the
State no matter who breaks them
Applause. These things are elemen-
tary; might be assumed without the
necessity of speaking them, one would
think. We are almost ashamed to speak
Of them, and probably shouldn't If we
didn't have q certain regret, albeit the
sight is humorous enough, in seeing the
Hughes men becoming the "unco guild,
while the Chanler men, even if they are
Taft men too, are sons of darkness.
The Constitution is not going to be
tossed into dusty corner whether
HUGHES succeeds himself or CHANLER
succeeds HUGHES. No thought Of Chan
lerian lenity or Hughesian severity TO
-vice" can get into the brain OF any
intelligent person. All Democrats, all
those Independents who are sick OF
government by commission, weary OF
the Republican policy of extravagant
appropriations and unnecessary taxa
ton, all these, we suppose, will vote for
Mr.. CHANLRR. But they are not blind
to the merit of Mr.. HUGHES, too strong
and wholesome character to be made
permanently ridiculous by the unoon-
scious Chadbandism of some Of his
friends,

The DISCLOSURE.

To-day the Democratic national COM
mittee is to publish the list Of oontribu-
tors to its campaign fund. Every day
hereafter the names Of givers and the
amounts they give are to be made pub
lie. Last week partial list was printed,
but this has been repudiated by the cam
paign managers, who assert that it was
neither authentic nor authorized.
The Republicans are conducting their
campaign in obedience to the law Of
this State, their plan being not to tell
who gave or how much was given until
after election day. Itremains to be seen
whether the programme will be changed
on account of the action Of their oppo-
nents. 1t is not impossible that the
Republicans may deem it polite to
follow the lead Of the Democrats and
tell the secrets Of their not overloaded
treasury before election. A decision Of
this sort would undoubtedly result from
the spontaneous demand for the facts
from the independent voters in the
doubtful States. Refusal by the Re-
publicans to inform the voters OF the
size and sources of their fund might
cost them many votes, il the demand
for the facts was general.
Probably there will be many ques-
tionings Of the accuracy and truthful
ness Of the statements from each head
quarters, whenever they are made. Yet
it is altogether likely that the exhibits
will be substantially correct.

Daniel Colt Gilman,

In the history Of American education
DANIEL Corr GILMAN marks an epoch
as distinctly as CHARLES WILLIAM
ELIOT. There was advanced study by
graduates at the universities before
President GILMAN, just as the principle
OF elective studies antedated President
ELIOT, but the development which each
gave to the system he took in hand made
them the substantial originators.
The terms Of the Johns Hopkins
foundation gave President GILMAN a
free hand in establishing advanced
study and research at a time when the
demand was becoming pressing and the
older universities were hampered by
their traditions and the restrictions Of
their endowments He was enabled
to lead for time, but the great value
Of his achievement is rather in the inn
pulse to higher studies and the encour-
agement to continue in maintaining
them which the example Of his Johns
Hopkins gave to other universities
throughout the country.
OF the organizing skill, the boundless
tact, the clear vision Of the field Of edu-
cation, the sane Judgment that avoided
fantastic eocentricities, possessed by
President GILMAN, the university he left
is a monument. More strongly, how
ever, they are impressed for the time
being on the men who knew him, on
the students whom he brought up, all
those who felt his charm and geniality.
1t was his fortune, after initiating a
great step forward in university educa-
ton, to be called upon to plan further
advance in scientific study. The out
come of that lies in the future. The
fame of DANIEL Corr GILMAN rests on
what he did at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and what that means to
America.

Connecticut Ordered to Elect LilIey

Connecticut Ordered to Elect Lilley.
1t was inevitable that Mr.. ROOSEVELT
should project himself into the Con-
necticut campaign. The Hon. GEORGE
LEAvENs LILLEY is creature after his
own heart. Any honor or disgrace that
falls on the Waterbury statesman would
be felt sympathetically in the White
House. Mr.. LILLEY is one aspect Of
the multiform Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
To make scandalous unsupported
charges against honorable men, to pub
lish false statements, after O tremen-
dous hue and cry to catch nothing but
wind, and by abuse of the injured party
to try and oall of public attention from
the pitable show the stirrer of the mess
has made Of himself a truly Roose-
veltian performance, LILIEY has been
an imitator of the inimitable. He must
be protected, encouraged, boosted, vim
dicated. Besides, it's bully fun to in
suit Congress.
LILLEY is such mighty little Roose-
welt, however. The original has bow
els, practice, audacity, and has had an
admiring or a forgiving public. He
could carry of the trick, outbrazen fact,
triumph in his own lie. But LILLEY,

A national charter would appear to
be the alternative Of going out Of busi-
ness.
On the same day, February 8, 1908,
Mr.. FOWLER declared on the floor Of the
House:
"T Essert again, after the most mature deib.
eratlon, that II there ID one reason for lnsuring
lie or home, there are more than thousand
good reasons, nay. more than ten thousand good
reasons why the deposltors OF the banking insti.
tutIons OF the United States should be Insured.
All of which leaves us in doubt
whether Mr.. BRYAN ia a good Fowler
Republican or Mr.. FOWLER a good
Bryan Democrat. The difference be-
tween them on the deposit guaranty
question is the difference between mis-
take and an error.

Indiani ans Pawpaw Orchard.

FToW nc IHddNHp0H Y tUS,
Jasper w. Thompson has at his home In the
east part OF Danville what he says the only cul
tivated pawpaw orchard In the United States.
The trees were planted by Judge John " Hsdley.
now on the State Supreme bench. ffteen years
ago. when he lived In the house occupied by Mr..
Thompson. The Judge was a great lover Of the
fruit and conceived the idea Of raising his own
pawpaws instead Of securing the woods for them
He planted seeds from choice fruit and kept the
little trees protected from the sun for three years
by putting barrels over them.
They have now been bearing for several years.
and this year the thirty Ave trees have produced
about thirty bushels OF pawpaws. Not only Is
the product of exceptional size. but the quality
Is inner than that which grows wild In the woods.
Mr.. Thompson has shipped several bushels Of
his Indiana bananas" to the Indianapolis market
this year. and has a standing offer at fancy
price for all he can furnish.

Fowler ON Guaranteed Deposits,

The Hon. CHARLES N. FOWLER Is in
doubt whether there is any one who is
more utterly and absolutely opposed to
Mr.. BRYANs preposterous and ridicu-
lous scheme for guaranteeing bank
deposits" than he lis. We accept Mr..
FowLER's statement Of his position in
this matter without the slightest qualifi-
cation or shadow of doubt. More even
than that, we believe that the author
of the Fowler bill is utterly and abso-
lutely opposed to any and all schemes,
systems, plans and devices for the re-
form or regulation of banking and cur
rency excepting his own pet measure,
which he alters and amends at least
once year.
Mr.. FowLER's position should not be
misunderstood. 1t should be noted
that he does not declare himself opposed
to a guarantee of deposits. 1t is "Mr.
BRYAN's preposterous and ridiculous
scheme" to which he objects. He OPP
poses the method and not the principle
OF deposit guarantee. The Democratic
platform pledges that party ito legisla-
ton by which the national banks shall
be required to establish a guarantee
fund for the prompt payment of the
depositors of any insolvent bank under
an equitable system" Does not Mr..
FOWLER see that such legislation would
really open the way to the approval of
House Resolution 12,677, introduced by
him on January 8, 1908?
That bill provided for a system of
bank organization and for the issue of
national bank guaranteed credit notes"
1t declared, in Section IA, that every
national bank shall have upon deposit
with the Treasurer of the United States
an amount Of gold coin or its equivalent
equal to per cent. OF it's average deposits
and s per cent. Of its national bank
guaranteed credit notes taken ont fo-
issue and circulation Section II de-
clares that 'the per cent. Of all deposits
80 deposited with the United States
Treasurer, the per cent. Of all note
issues 30 deposited and other sums
for which the bill provides, shall con-
stitute a common or general guaranty
fund for the following uses and pur-
poses, namely: To guarantee the pay
ment of all individual deposits, all bank
notes, all bank deposits, and all Govern
ment deposits, without discrimination
or preference.
We have no doubt that Mr.. FowLER's
mastery grasp Of the science Of finance
enables him to see clearly the difference
between the tweedledum OF the Bryan
scheme and the tweedledee Of the Fowler
scheme. The only difference that we
can see is that Mr.. BRYAN's scheme is
preposterous and ridiculous, while Mr..
FowLER's scheme is ridiculous and
preposterous. In the dusk Of the eve
ming it would be difficult to distinguish
one from the other. Mr.. BRYAN says:
What the people need is a system whereby
both .state banks and national banks viii be
compelled 70 guarantee deposits.-
The Fowler bill provides a system Of
guaranteed deposits for national banks
under which State banks would be
virtually compelled to take out national
charters and guarantee their deposits.
In debate with Mr.. BURTON, on Febru-
ary 3, 1908, Mr.. FOWLER evaded direct
question whether under his bill all
banks other than national would not be

No sign OF the times is so encouraging
for forest conservation as the steady
growth OF tree planting. A few represen-
tative statistics from information COL
lected by the Forestry Quarterly will show
the prosperity Of this important move
ment.
During the last season the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Company set out So3, ,o3o
trees, including pines. larches, spruce
and hardwoods. In Its nursery II set
out $4,000 forest seedlings for future
transplanting and planted 222 bushels
OF red oak aoorns. from which 1900, 900
seedlings are now growing. II also
planted large quantity Of black walnut,
chestnut and hickory, practically all Of
which have given complete termination.
The New York State Forest, Fish and
Game Commission set out l,2be, 500 seed
lings in it's new nursery. and planted at
Paul Smiths and other places In the
Adirondacks 100000 white pines. II
also started fifty seed beds and intends
to sell seedlings to the public at the cost
OF production.
1t Ia gratifying to see that many private
interests and firms are participating
in the planting. The Remington Martin
company has planted over 500, 900 trees on
it's land. Mr.. JOHN CoLs, a large land
owner. has for three years been replsnt-
ing his lands with three-year-old white
pines imported from Germany. The
Santa Clara Lumber Company has planted
this year $4,000 trees and put 5000 more
into beds for transplanting. Many others
have been planting on a smaller scale.
and several large oooperaee, paper and
lumber interests expect TO begin refores-
tation in the Adirondaoks next year.

National Anthems TO Order.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: ! see
that the old. old question OF a national
anthem is around again. IL Is very posi-
tive that We haven't one. but i am equally
positive that We shall have to rub along as
best We can for some time to come with
America" and The Star SpRngled Banner
unless some more or less inspired person
can devise a really sensible way OF getting
at such an anthem.
The attempt has been made many times
In past years. and this and that organiza-
tion has offered prizes or medals for some
composition that should become national
anthem as soon as the public heard IT, The
attempt has never been successful The
Society Of the Cincinnati arranged such o
prize competition few years ago and
awarded a gorgeous gold medal to some
lucky composer. whose song or anthem has
never been heard from since, The prize
composition OF this society was to take the
place Of America" at once but musical
history does not anywhere record any such
event. and the country is still compelled to
resort to America when IL wants some
thing vocally patriotic. No doubt the
society could well afford it's little expert
ment, and 30 no particular harm was done.
Several attempts have been made In the
past by individuals also. and there is Gil
moro hymn and Keller hymn. though their
existence Is practically forgotten by Amer
leans generally.
Ny own view Of the matter is that It is
just as we'll not to grieve too sorely that
We haven't . distinctly American national
anthem. but to make the best Of what we
have until some event or situation arises
such things have happened In other lands
to inspire the composition OF a national
anthem such as Professor Sloane seems to
think this country stands In need Of. am
confident that am justified In saying for
tho whole body Of American musicians
that they are heartily sick OF the prize COM
