sion; his favorite son. Durham, is four
teenth. Rechad's son. Zia ed-Din, is tenth.
In such a list there is little hope of a
young ruler.
Rechad ranks as a general, but for evil
dent reasons has never held very impor-
tant commands. He is no doubt sincere
in his we'll known adhesion to the Youns
Turks. Abdul Hamid also was a reformer
in 1876. when the revolutionists deposed
and killed his uncle, Abdul Aziz, and
shut up his brother. Murad, and so cleared
for him a way to the throne.

Charles Roden Buxton, in his book on
Turkey in Revolution" just published by
the Scribners, gives an account of a visit
paid to the Sheikh-ul-Islam after the grant
OF a constitution last summer.
But is real constitutional government
permitted by the law Of Islam?' the visi-
tors asked.
Certainly. Our law, rightly interpreted,
is in accordance with the principles OF
representative government. The wiscst
men, chosen by the people. are to direct
the ruler, and IL he rules without their
consent he is going beyond his power. !
80 further and say that, now that this
principle has been embodied In the law OF
the constitution. that law is itself included
In the law of Islam. 1t becomes binding
upon those who profess Islam. Especially
those who are called to lead, our ulema,
are bound to help actively in carrying on;
the constitution"
To the sheikh-ul-lslam MIR, Buxton
positively asserts, 1t is largely due that
the revolution of last July was bloodless
The writer does not believe that IL that
spiritual dignitary had pronounced against
the liberal movement, the revolution would
nave been crushed. II would simply have
come in war and left behind it hatred and
peril. Against men branded with tho
stamp Of impiety it would be easy to raise
up a popular reaction, to stir the mob OF
STEAMBOAT, to appeal to the Arabs of thc
Hedjaz and the Yemen, to drive the fierce
Albanians, in spite of the committee
tampering, down from their hill-fortresse
upon the plains of Macedonia" Yet the
official who might hurl all these ~spiritua
thunderbolts is described by Mr.. Buxtor
as essentially a lawyer" And that law
yers may be swayed by material consider
atoms is known in countries outside Of
Turkey.

Old OF New Sultan
Possible changes In tfp Hsadship
OF h Ottoman Empire, and The
Methods Pursued,

The fate Of the reigning sultan Of Tur-
key, Abdul Hamid II, rests with the trium.
plant OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES who control Con-
stantlnople. The sultan is a prisoner in
his palace and all circumstances point to
forcible or voluntary sbdication. Abdul Is
in his 67th year. He was born septem-
Der %, 1sl2, and became sultan August 81,
1876. Doubtless his years and long reign
will prevent haste in )~depriving him OF the
honors Of his position. Power has been torn
from his grasp. But he cannot lawfully
be dethroned without the approval OF the
sheikh-ul-Islsm. a f~unctionary Of pre-emi-
nent power in Turkey. the pope OF the
MohRmmedan church, ranking next to the
sultan and his superior in this regard.
-
The present shelkh- ul-Islam is Mehmed
Djemsl Eddin Effend. and he is
supposed to hold the key to the situation.
He is not only the highest ecclesiastical
dignitary in the empire, but also the SUI
preme Interpreter of the koranic and
multekan law. Nearly the whole of Turkish
Jurisprudence is based upon these and Is
administered by the so-called sheri courts,
all of whose decisions are liable to revls-
ion and reversal by the Sheikh-ul-Islam
The sheikh therefore occupies a position
something akin to that of the lord high
chancellor in those anti-reformation times
In England when the keepership of the
great seal of the realm was held by a pre-
late, who was not only the highest digni-
tary Of the church, but also OF the law.
II the sheikh is the head of the clergy, or
imaums, he is also the chief Of the ulemas.
who supply all the judges. magistrates,
and also professors and teachers.
Were the statesmen in power and the
Sheikh-ul-Islam to jointly decide the sui
tan's reign should cease, the following
procedure. based on precedent, would be
followed: The ministers would submit to
the sheikh the question as to whether the
sultan has not become unfit to exercise
sovereignty over followers Of the prophet,
and would enumerate the reasons for their
contention that he had forfeited all claims
Of allegiance. The sheikh would then, IL he
agreed with them, issue a fetvah to that
effect, which would give them the neces-
sary authority in the eyes of Moslems to
not only proclaim his deposition, but to se-
cure his person-deposltion at CONSTANT
nople being usually followed by speedy
death, though Murad was allowed to linger
after his deposition for nearly thirty years
in captivity by his brother and successor,
Abdul Hamid.

Don't dig the mud out OF the

Don't leave dirt in piles on the
road.
Don't throw grass and weeds up
on the road surface.
Don't dump stone and gravel on
an old road without first preparing
the surface to receive it, because
you thereby cause willful waste
and woeful want.
Don't place new material on the
road without leveling and shaping
it so that the grade and cross-sec-
ton of the road will remain UNI
changed.
Don't expect travel to spread
and roll the new material; one-half
the money spent is wasted by this
method.
Don't put new material on an
old, hard road surface before first
picking or loosening the old cover
ing. To do so is good for the quar-
ryman and gravel owner, but bad
for the taxpayer and rodd user.
Don't try to work without pro-
per tools.
Don't leave your scari6er in the

Don't forget to use your sprink-

Don't let your steam roller be
