NEW TURKEY AND THE JEWS.

The promised Turkish constitution, with it's
bearing the question of Zionism, has received
considerable attention at the hands of the Jews
since the Sultan's determination was made pub
lie. It has been urged by some Zionists that the
Young Turkish party intended TO promote the
Zionist cause when the pressure for a constitu-
ton was applied, that being one element which
did not figure in the movement of 1876 which
also brought forth constitution.
An enthusiastic English writer goes so far as
to say that the Young Turks, ''at whose COM
''mand the liberal step has been taken. will in
"sist on recognition of the Zionists' claim and
will make it clear to the Ottoman government
that its own interests will be best served by
giving these people the permanent habitation
under their own government for which they
"yearn" Another writer in The American
Israete' says: "The granting Of a constitu-
''tfon in Turkey is not only of the greatest posi-
'ble benefit TO the Zionist movement but it es-
'tablishes Zionism as a reality. The constitu-
'tlon is equal to the charter for Jewish settle
''ment for which DR.. HerZl fought"
Abdul Hamid throughout his reign has shown
good will toward his Ave hundred thousand
Jewish subjects, and only recently exemplified
his spirit of fairness by proceeding decisivey
against their prosecutors at Jaffa. They are
consequently faithful subjects, and the new con-
stitution draws them closer still by declaring
that all Ottoman subjects shall be equal and
that the Jew, with Others shall be privileged to
exercise the right of parliamentary suffrage and
the privilege of cOntesting for and occupying a
seat in the legislative body. If reports to its
provisions are true, the constitution will give the
Jew full religious liberty also and will wipe out
the line of demarcation which has until now
excluded him from the army and made it inn
possible for him to stand with his Mahometan

how eager he may have been to wear the uni
form of soldier, his creed made him 'un-
worthy" a poll tax in lieu of military services
was imposed on him. and in default OF payrnent

ever. for the cause, the great leaders in the
movement are not Turkish subjects and will
have no voice in the deliberations of the Iegis
lature that is 10 be, and the men to whom long
looked for rights and privileges have at last
been granted will have 10 be won over to the
cause of secession and then be sent to parIa-
ment as advocates of the movement. This will
be tedious, thankless process. The American

HOME FOR OLDER BOYS.
Tribune Fresh Ar Fund Gets One
for YOung gSterS.

A noteworthy example Of sympathetic co-opera-
ton with the Tribune Fresh Air Fund requires
special mention here.
On July % plea was made for home for boys
from thirteen years old to fifteen sixteen. It
then pointed out that boys Of those ages
needed change as much the younger ones. but
that II was not believed advisable by the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund to send out parties composed OF
boys ranging in age from five to sixteen years.
A home at Shokan. n. Y, fills the want for the
older girls. and. as was said two weeks ago. the
need for the establishment of similar institution
for boys well most urgently felt by the
Fund workers.
In less than week word was received from the
Rev. DIR. Vincent Raw. of Manchester Vt that
such home at the disposal Of the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund at that place. and he asked that
possible not less than fifty such boys
be there a two weeks visit They have
gone, and there IS ground for the belief that the
house thus promptly offered may be the permanent
home for older boys the stepping stone to the
founding of badly needed institution

REcKLESSNEsS ON THE ROAD.

The constantly and swiftly lengthening list OF
automobile tragedies seems scarcely to- convey
a lesson or a warning to the speed mad votaries
o. the motor car. Day by day the same story
is repeated. not only Of the criminal escapades
of unfaithful servants but of the fatal rashness
of responsible propretors. car is driven at
high speed dark night along an unfamiliar
road, and in turning sharp curve q, tire bursts
the wheels skid. or something else happens. and
the conclusion of the story is told In the hos
pital or the cemetery.
There are of course, complaints that the road
was not well lighted, that the curve in it was
dangerously sharp, or that the crest of ravine
was not guarded with stone wall, but this, as
have repeatedly pointed out. is not convinc-
ing. It Is for the motor driver to take care. If
every road were mathematicaly straight and
level and were brilliantly illuminated all night
there might be fewer accidents. But roads are
not of that kind, and cannot be made so, not
even to please the automobillsts and to promote
their safety. The reasonable thing is for auto
mobilists to adapt their practices to the roads
and not TO expect all roads to be rebuilt.
1t ought to be evident to every intelligent man
that to run car in the dark along strange
road at high speed is to court suicide or man.
slaughter, or both. The unspeakabe pity of it
is that the fact is ignored and that thus the
profitless sacrifice of lives goes on, and one of
the most interesting, pleasurabe and valuable
inventions Of the age is subjected TO grave re-

JAPAy,s INGENIOUS NAVAL scHEME.

A recent dispatch from Toxic announced that
Japan. while making only limited addition to
the number of her new ships, would increase the
efficiency of some Of her old ones by alterations
in their armament In the second of these
policies she will give a novel application to the
principle first embodied in the Dreadnought.
1t is now coming to be believed that in the fut-
ure fighting will begin at such long range that
only large guns will be of any value That is
why England decided two years ago to employ
guns of single calbre in her new ships. In the
Satsuma and the Aki Japan has carried out the
plan in the same way as her European ally, but
she is now going to do ii in different way as
we'll. She purposes TO discard her 6-inch rifles
and replace them with heavier weapons. The
substitutes will have calibre of ten inches four
of them being installed on ship, and only ships
which already mount four Pinch breech load
ers will thus be reinforced.
Examination OF Brassey's Annual for 1903
shows that besides Togos flagship, the Mikasa,
Japan has at least three first class battleshps
which were built before the late war, and which
have main batteries susceptible of reorganiza-
ton in the prescribed manner. OF the nine
ships taken from Russia four, and possibly five,
might receive the same treatment On one of
this group (the Sagami) the biggest guns have
a calibre of ten inches only while the others
carry twelves. Unless there is some other rea-
son than this for not replacing the smaller guns
with large ones on the Sagami, there il pros
pect that nine vessels in all will get the benefit
of this new scheme
Besides those just referred to- there are sew
eral other japanese warships provided with
mixed batteries in which the heaviest guns are
twelves. The Kashima and the Katori built In
England and delivered about two years ago. con.
stitute a class by themselves. Each OF them
carries, besides the twelves four tens and a
dozen 6-nch rifles Apparently the addition
OF four more tens in place of the smaller guns
would be feasible in these two instances and
eventually the change may be undertaken. No
distinct hint that it is contemplated now has
been offered, however, and 1t may be assumed
at present that the ships are regarded as so
strong already as not to need improvement.
Still another group of new vessels in which
the old policy was carried out deservet consid-

RESULTS OF EXCISE LAW BREAKING.

The noteworthy Investigation into excise
matters which is being made in New Jersey by
Governor Forts special commission has fur
nished what should be a conclusive answer to
the common and particularly cheap plea of
law breaking liquor dealers, that 1t is no worse
for them 70 violate the law than for anybody
else 10 do so. and that if they are to be required
TO suspend business on Sunday the drug stores,
newsstands. railroads and all other secular oc
equations should also be brought TO like stand
still On that day. That argument is obviously
unsound and fallacious in theory and principle
since these other occupations are not under the
same law as the saloons. The law which pre-
scribes the closing of drinking places Sun
day makes reference TO the others; and that
is the law with which we are now concerned
But in the most practical way il is shown IN
this investigation that there is vast difference
between the two cases. and that in fact it is
much worse for saloons 10 violate the Sunday
law than for other concerns to do so.
In Atlantic City. for example, it is shown
that the Sunday opening Of drinking places has
been followed or accompanied by other evils Of
the grossest kind Immoral resorts flourish
women Of the street ply their trade openly
and indecent prints exposed for sale. In
Camden. also, violation of the Sunday law is
made means of political corruption, immunity
from police interference being coupled with
or made dependent upon the SaloonkeeperS' CO.
operation in dubious measures for carrying
elections. Elsewhere, especially in Jersey City
and Elizabeth, other demoralizng and corrupt
ing effects Of excise law violation have been
disclosed. 1t is OF course, notorious that
wherever such law breaking prevails with police
acquiescence there is much danger Of and
usually considerable prevalence Of both bribery
and blaekmail between the police and the
saloons with an inevitably consequent lower
ing Of the moral tone and efficiency of the police
force.
IT is because Of these things that thoughtful
men discriminate against the liquor trade as
more Objectionable on Sunday than other secu-
lar businesses. Nobody ever heard of drug
stores and candy shops and ice cream estab-
lishments bringing in their train the conditions
which have followed open saloons in Atlantic
City Nobody suspects Sunday newsdealers
or car lines of cOrrupting elections. There is
no reason fer supposiDg that the opening OF
telegraph offices and telephone exchanges on
Sunday even though il is technically in viola
tion of an old law. is effected through bribery
and corruption Of the police or is made vehicle
OF blackmail There Is the concrete and funda-
mental difference between ignoring the vague
provisions of an antiquated statute and delib
