Americans can necessarily have but
dim idea OF the tremendous revolu-
ton that has reached a climax and
swept a sultan from his throne. For
over thirty years the Young Turk
party, OF which I am member, has
been In existence, hoping TO lead Tur-
key out OF her medieval darkness. And
toward this end step was taEee just
a year ago about which l will en-
deavor to bring out some new facts.
But before / come to the immediate
causes Of the overthrow OF that &c.
moniacal tyrant, Sultan Abdul. viii
paint a few pictures OF conditions as
they were previous to the bold action
OF the Young Turks.
Go with me into village where Mo
hammedanism has full sway and see
dead animals Tying in the street until
the dogs have devoured all but their
bones while little children, destined to
live and die without knowledge OF
books, play In perpetual Nth about
the dead carcasses. Enter with me
one OF the shacks OF which the village
Is composed and In the front room
you will always find the horses and
cows and back of that the living room
OF human beings.
II you happen In at meal time you
will find the man OF the house seated
alone at his meal on the floor with
his wives standing motionless in re-
spectful obeisance before him all the
time he is eating. Not until he mac
eaten and left the room may the
women eat, and then 1t is their privi'
lege to gather up what they can OF
what Is left.
Do not think that this domination
over the women folk Is limited to the
peasants Until had left my home

will see the women gathering here
with their husbands and children. But
that will mean little to you If you 10
not remember that woman has no part
in the Mohammedan religion.
Those magnificent mosques that you
see In Turkish cities are not for the
women; and, according to Turkish law.
II one OF them enters. the mosque
must be razed to the ground. But the
men are not only becoming more leni-
ent towards their wives under the in
fuence OF Christianity. but they are
learning that In other countries even
the priests do not hold all the sayso,
and that even the men who work at
the piuw all day long, as they do in
America, have something to say in
the government.
Sultan Abdul hated the followers OF
the lowly Jesus, because wherever
Christianity gained a foothold in his
dominions, Sultan Abdul saw his

Member Of Younk Turk Party Tells
How Barrier To Progress Is
Being Swept Aside.

Withih the past year the Turkish
empire has been undergoing revolu-
tlonary changes. Ii Is now country
OF freer people, more enlightened, bet
Ter educated and more tolerant or re-
llgious and personal freedom. The
changes since the overthrow OF sultan
Abdul Hamid are marked and worthy
or universal comment.
The Times believes that Americans
are interested In the growth OF free
dom and civilization anywhere In the
world and IL has had a series or ar
ticles prepared telling OF the darkness
and dawn OF Turkey.
Jertes Barsoom, a member OF the
Young Turk party and a graduate or

stantinople, now in America. has writ

at that.

Why is it7 Just go to the office
and look it over. Perhaps one in ten

and then for few poments only;
some employees are reading the paper;

Two good efficient office men could
do all the clerical work of the office,

COAL COMPANY REFUSES

10 move its fence of the sidewalk on
Fifth South street between Fourth and
Fifth West streets, ordered by the
council some time ago. In a communl-
cation filed with the city recorder Fri
day. the company says that when IL pur-
chased the property a year ago, the
fence complained of was there and had
been there for thirty-hve years. This
fence the company has replaced In part
with a new fence on the line of the old
fence.
The firm Is going on the presumption
that the Old fence was on the line OF the
original survey and therefore is not In
