A MONUMENT TO HAMILTON

"A MONOmEN ~ UAN4Ak N1~'
The movement to erect in the city
of Washington q monument to the
memory of Alexander Hamilton
should meet with the approval Of every
patriotic American.
Probably no public man in the his
tory of the country was ever abused
and misrepresented to the extent that
Hamilton was. Even after the bullet
fired by Burr had snufei out the life
Of the great statesman 1t the age of
forty-seven, the enemies of Hamilton
continued to heap insult upon him.
He was alluded to Is the agent Of the
British government in America and
the enemy of his own country; he was
denounced rs . scheming politician
whose aim was to turn the republic
into monarchy and place king on
the throne; he has been alluded to as
an inidel and . biggot. Yet the last
twenty.four hours of Hamilton's life
proved the last charge to be false and
baseless. p"
John Hamilton, son of Alexander
Hamilton, who was alive in 1873, and
Who WAS twelve years old at the time
his father was killed in . duel with
Burr, tells how his father came to his
room At ten o'clock the night before
the duel and kneeling by the side of
his bed and prayed for . long time,
kissed his son good BY and then, in the
early hours of the morning, went forth
to face Burr and meet his death.
Much of the false conception of
Hamilton's character Was inspired by
the writings Of Thomas Jefferson who
was extremely jealous of Hamilton,
owing to the latter's popularity with
Washington. Jeferson, in his "Anas,"
not only aasailed Hamilton, but nearly
every other public man Of prominence
of his day. Even the great Washing
ton did not escape Jeiierson's criticism,
and was accused Of mental incapacity
and - willingness to let others act and
even think for him."
Time has justified the Hamilton
idea of government in this country.
Hamilton believed in - strong CEN
tral government" which d the cardi-
nal principle Of the republican party
today and which has prevailed for
nearly half . century.
In . speech delivered in New York
City in 1875, Hamilton coutended that
"the local Interests Of = state ought in
every case to give way to the interests
Of tho Union; for when . sacrifice Of
one or the other Is necessary, the |or.
mer becomes only N sppareat, partial
interest, and should yisld, on the prin.
cipls that the small good eaght never

!. turkey has been unlike any other
country. It Is now going to be like
the best countries. You must not
think that the Turk is different from
the Englishman, German, French
man or American. He has ther same
power of reason. He has the same
sources Of information and similar dis.
cernment and the logic of q situation
appeals to him in the same way.
What has happened in European de-
velopment will be repeated in Turkey
when political conditions permit"
The turkish people are progressive.
Government oppression has not dim
inished this spirit in them nor quieted
their desire for liberty. That the
masses have made NO advancement is
not because they are less capable of
helping themselves than the masses of
the people anywhere else, but because
they have had neither incentive nor
opportunity. The government gave
them nothing and took everything
from them. All they could make at
their best was taken from them in tax
es to enrich the personal retainers of
the sultan. Until now Turkey has
been q government for the betterment
of palace officials only.
Suppose the masses of the people in
any European country had been sub
ject to these conditions. do you think
they would have accomplished more
in q material way? The Turks have
had only one general means of subsis-
tence, and that is agriculture. With
this they have done the best they
could, which could not be much with
the discouragements besetting them.
The Turkish masses are intelligent,
though not educated. Education was
not provided for them. 1t will be.

From top to bottom of the social
scale all the people of Turkey, with
t.e few exceptions that it is not neces-
sary for me to note, are in favor of
popular government, and understand
ing the principles of it as they do, are
ready for it. The franchise will be as
free in Turkey as it is in the United
States, and you will see that an intelli-
gent use will be made of it.
The world will see why the social
problem was not so important in Tur-
key as the political one. When the
last one is worked out the other is
solved. When men are free to labor
and get the reward of their work and
the way is opened for them there is no
social problem to worry anyone. l
read in newspapers that the lowly
Turk, like the Turkish soldier, is q
religious fanatic, and that is taken to
mean that his comprehension is limit
ed, and it seems to be a common belief
that either soldier or peasant may
easily be led by willy men through an
appeal to his religious zeal, and that
almost any issue may be transposed for
them into the color of religion. !
assure you this is a miscOnceptiOn Of
character and fact.
1T is like an impression here and
abroad that the Turkish people con-
slider the sultan sacred being, some
thing more than human. You posi-.
bly, have heard it said that the Turkish
soldier fights desperately in the con-
viction that he is fighting for deity
in doing battle in the name of the
sultan. The Turk has no sach illu-
sions. No lack of proof of this is to
be found in the fact that seven sultans
before Abdul Hamid have been de-
posed."- Chicago Record Herald.

LOOKS TO THE RURAL DISTRICTS
KOINER REFUSES TO CoNCEDE
DEFEAT IN VIRGINIA.
Brown Ahead on Returns at Hand
But Many Districts Are Be
Heard From.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, August THE sur
prise Of the primary election. as revealed
by the returns SO far received. is the very
close vote between George W. koiner of
Augusta and ]. Thompson Brown of Bed
ford for commissioner of agriculture. On
the face of the returns at hand Mr.
Brown is nominated by some 5000, but
there are some forty districts to hear
from, and 1t is in these rural districts
that Mr.. koiner has hopes of success.
The cities were against him, but he still
claims that he has always relied on the
rural vote for success, and does not con-
cede that he has been defeated. Mr.
Brown is equally sanguine that he has
won, and says that the vote in the coun-
ties will not serve to wipe out the ma
iorities that have already been returned
for him.
No one paid any attention to this con-
test and few believed that Browns candi-
dacy was to be seriously regarded That
a secret organization was factor in this
fight appears to be true. the organiza-
ton being one which opposes bringing
foreign labor to the state.
