THE TURKISH SITUATION.

Reports of the uprisings and con-
| tests in Turkey leave the average read
| err unsatisfactory enlightened as tt
| causes and even more so as to prob
able and ultimate or distant results
1t seems fairly clear that the Young
Turks, who have attacked the long ex-
listing remige, are in broad, general
sense comparative progressivistS and
reformers, or believe themselves so
but to what extent, or what is the
measure of either their sincerity OF
capacity, we have little definite
knowledge. That their purposes are to
a considerable degree truly patriotic,
and that the outcome will be to some
extent beneficial to the people not only
of Turkey but of Europe and the world,
may be reasonably predicted, yet one
would not be wise to expect greatly
beneficial results Immediately, nor
without succeeding and perhaps pro-
tracted struggles.
One discouraging feature is the
fact that the reform element will ap-
parently have to rely not only now
but in future upon the military, a
thing likely to be unsafe to do, and
in doing which civil authorities have
small chance of great and perma-
nent reforms in government. Already
the insurrectionary party seems to be
divided into opposing supporters of
rival chiefs, who in turn may become
reactionary and tyrannical with access
Of power.
Another discOuraging fact is that
the Turks are nominally and profess
eddy, and in the observance of forms
if not in sincere sentiment, very re-
ligious people, Of a kind, namely, Mo-
hammedans. To continue to maintain
this. religion as a partner and the con-
trolling element in the civil govern
ment would almost certainly prove a
finally fatal mistake; yet it does not
appear that the reformerS are attempt
ing to overthrow the church, nor is it
probable that they would do so if they
tried. Yet they may write the open
ing chapters of the story that will ulti-
mately tell of Turkeys escape from
the pestilential union of church and
state.
The sultan has been represented by
ambassadors from this country and
other countries, and by some dis-tin
guished travellers and writer's, as a
r4uch slandered man, and there may
have been eXaggerations of his mis-
deeds, yet enough of what is alleged
against him is probably true to justify
the civilized worlds hope that his po-
litical career has ended, and that he win
have no initiating successor
But England Russia, Germany and
Austria all have vital interests in
Turkey, as they believe, and they may
exert more or less depressing inf1u-
ence, They fear certain possible
changes more than they hate the char
acter and actions of the Turk

HIS OWN ANANIAS
CLUB STARTED
BY TAFT
Repudiates Endorsement of
Minnesota Congressional
Delegation Credited to
Him.
(By United Press.)


BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. TO-
President Taft started his Ananias
club today, through Secretary Fred
w. Carpenter, when he discredited
an alleged Taft telegram which ap-
peared in a Minnesota paper pur-
porting to indOrse the Minnesota
congressional delegation.
The presidents secretary de-
clared that no such telegram was
sent to the newspaper by the presi-
dent for any one else. In addition
to branding the telegram as false,
the presidents denial showed that
he Is not in sympathy with the Min
neA0tans who, with single excep-
ton, voted against the Payne tariff
bill in the house and in the senate.
Both Senators Nelson and Clapp
voted against the Payne bill, and
the only man from Minnesota who
supported it was Representative
James Tawney of Winona, who has
always been regarded as a lieuten-
ant of Speaker Cannon. This is the
second time the president has
shown his interest in Tawney. The
president has already changed the
itinerary Of his western trip so as
to eliminate Senator Robert M. La
Follette's town, Madison, Wis, and
to include Representative Tawney's
town, Winona, MINI. Tawney is a
regular and standpatter, and 1t
Toilette an insurgent.
