italy Moves Against Turkey.

JtaIv's bold move against Turkey. to
enforce certain rights in Asa Minor,
which the porte has denied to the gov
eminent at Rome. must be considered as
having the sanction of at least three or
the great powers, England. France ana
Russia. Whether it is Endorsed by the
other members of the triple alliance. of
which Italy is a unit. remains to be con-
jectured or developed by the consequences.
The we'll known friendliness of Germany
for Turkey and the close communion
existing at present between Germany and
Austria are always to be rated as factors
of significance. if not of acute Importance,
i'm matters affecting the situation In the
nearer east.
1t is suggestive that Italy's chief griev-
ance against Turkey at present ID that
the latter government will not consent
to the establishment of Italian post ofhces
in Turkish territory. while other countries
have opened such Offices without inter-
ference. This bespeaks the utter fncom-
petenee of the Turkish administration. 1t
is exposed as incapable Of conducting
"a trustworthy postal system. Foreign In
terests cannot rely upon the mail-carry-
ing facilities furnished by the porte and
look to their own countries for assistance
in the maintenance of communications.
Back of this condition stretches q long
perspective of Turkish incompetence, In
trieue, official surveillance over private
interests and universal distrust. This mat
ter indeed. serves as an epitome OF the
reasons why the sultan IS universally
rated as the ''sick man of Europe"
There is no doubt as to 1taly's ability
to demonstrate effectively eff the Turk
fsh coast. The performance is SO certain
to result in the grant of the Italian de-
mands that the. whole proceeding be-
comes, farcical. There Is never ques-
ton of Turkeys genuine resistance. No
power of the first rank dreams OF such
an outcome To move against Turkey in
xolves.. not necessarily any serious prep
arations for war, but careful prelifn-
mary of diplomatic negotiations with the
other powers to ascertain If there is OBJ
structive objection to the maneuver.
How long this preposterous performance
is to be continued no man can foretell.
The porte is at present secure in the re-
lance upon the inability Of the powers
to agree upon program. In the Balkans
there are occasional feeble efforts to
bring the so-calfed reforms instituted by
the. powers to the point Of yielding prac-
teal effects, but the international in
trigues prevent full accomplishment Of
the plans which are published. There Is
always a pull back somewhere, inspired
by either Russian or German desire. The
Austrian interest, seemingly dominant on
the borders, in truth Is subordinate to the
German. which has a longer range.

Prejudice.
From the Baltimore American.

Perhaps the hardest thing In human ex-
perience Is to get away from prejudice.
In the past few years we have had ex-
traordinary changes in America, and it
has not been easy for some people to read
just their visions. When an honest Presi-
dent. in doing honest work. disturbed es-
tablished evils he necessarily jolted some
good people who were perfectly sincere
in believing that their personal integrity
was proof against the insidious influences
of q wrong system. SO, instead of biam-
ing the system or of seeing the broader
moral purpose of a policy of simple hon
esty. they took the shorter course OF
saying Roosevelt did it,
