% TURKS FOUND GRAFT
IN REDUCTION OF CENSUS.
.ernors Cut Taxes Paid to Sultan
on Per Capita Basis.

The new Young Turk government
found out some very remarkable
ags In its work of reformation. One
them is that there are far more
.rks than are accounted for In the
icial statistics.
The latest reference books. which are
sed on Turkish official figures, give
. population Of European Turkey as
10000, but the census which Is now
ing taken indicates that these fig
.-es are far too small. The discrepan-
IS in the country vilayets, especially
4 Albania, are amazing.
The city OF Djakova, for instance,
.hich is down for $1,000 inhabitants,
..ow appears to have not less than So
20, and the population OF the vilayet
I KOssowa Is more than twice as
: reat rs It has been given. 1t may be
aiken for certain that Turkey in Eu-
fope, instead OF 6,00O.oOO. has really
100000 inhabitants or maybe more
The difference Is easily explained
taking Djakova as an example. the
orrupt old governors only paid into
he imperial treasury the taxes on 21,-
100 people, the number they certified
IS official" and they coolly pocketed
he taxes on the remaining 10000
This sort of graft went on under Alb
Iul Hamid for years and incidentally
axplains Turkeys everlasting financial
roubes. The next Ottoman bulge

The Kaiser and Lord Esher.

The kaiser in his famous Twedmouth
letter expressed himself somewhat
roughly to the effect that in his opin-
ion Lord Esher should confine his at
tention to the drains of Windsor castle.
From which impertinent allusion to
Lord Eshers official position as deputy
governor of Windsor it is evident, says
w. T. Stead in The Worlds Work, that
there is in this man something that
can raise the devil even in such august
and most Christian personages as a
monarch by divine right. The kaiser
has probably long since realized his
stupidity on that occasion, although he
has never made public amends for his
somewhat vulgar snarl but at the late
kings funeral he and Lord Esher had
friendly converse together for nearly
an hour; but the subjects discussed, it
is safe to say, were not confined to, II
indeed they ever included, the drains
of Windsor castle. The outburst, how
ever. was only a more prominent form
of a very general feeling that Lord
Esher is in some way or another an
excrescence. an abnormality. to be re-
garded with disapproval by all conven-
tionally minded men.

his shoes shined, for this young man
was already prepared for just such an

assuming that bored, devil-may-

Home Journal, is very effective with
girls, he began to draw up to the

AS he neared the pair his trained eye
took in all the details of their charm.
The one on the left had on a fetching
