does the exercise of rights depend upon
the power to enforce them.
If the great powers of the world, after
several years of negotiation, finally con-
sented to the abolition Of the capituIa-
tons in Japan and brought the foreign
ers there within the jurisdiction of the
native tribunals in 1899, it was because
the Mikado's government had adopted a
civil and criminal code of the most pro-
gressive and enlightened character, and
which, elaborated by commission of
the ablest japanese and foreign jurists,
had received the approval of the great
powers, which had likewise assured
themselves of the relia bic character Of
the judiciary and of the thoroughly up to
date police and prison systems. It is
only fair TO state that during the eleven
years which have elapsed since then the
foreign powers have never had the
slightest occasion to regret their consent

nothing but contempt for the foreigner
who has submitted to the rule Of the
Sultan. There are thousands upon thou
sands of Greeks who have transferred
their allegiance from their native land
to the Porte. in the vain idea of faciiita-
ting thereby their financial and COM
mercial operations. Indeed, there are
probably twice as many Greeks in Con-
stantinople as there are at Athens. Yet
they are subjected to all sorts of per-
secutions. annoyances and indignities. on
the part of the authorities.
Known by the generic name OF
rayans-that is to say, nom Moslem SUD-
jects of the Sultan-they are despised by
the followers of the Prophet to sucn an
extent that until the Inauguration of the
present constitution, year and half
ago. they were not considered worthy of
being allowed to serve in the Imperial
army, having to pay a heavy personal
tax in lieu thereof.
America has already large commercial
interests in Turkey that are rapidly
growing. She has also many educa-

stantinople, where so, many Turkish

House of Osman, have received either
their education or else the principles OF

have done much to spread Western en-

that they have accomplished, their prop
erty, their personal safety and their

be gravely jeopardized by the abolition
of the capitulations.
For Turkey has not, like japan, new

Copyright 1870 by the Brentwood Company
So few persons are aware that the
word ''capitulation" possesses another
meaning than that OF surrender in time
OF var that il may be Of interest TO ex-
plain just what is meant by the an
nouncement that the Turkish govern
ment has quite recently approached
President Taft and the State Depart
ment with view to the abrogation Of
the ''capitulations'' within the borders of
the Ottoman Empire. IN this particular
instance the word "capitulation" stands
for a treaty.
In olden days agreements Of This kind
were always drawn III, in Latin. and the
various clauses and articles thereof were
prefaced with the Latin word ''capitula,
whic,i may be said to have stood for
headings. In course Of time the
treaties themselves grew 10 be described
as capitula and then as capitula tions,
ana We find the treaty OF marriage be
tween Dom Pedro of Portugal and I'Tir-
cess Marie OF Savoy described as :
capitulaIion. and also those conventions
Of the Helvetian Republic with the
Netherlands. Spain, Naples, France and
the Papal States for the employment Of
Swiss troops. especially bodyguards. by
the rulers Of these countries.
Finally capitulation was the word en-
pioyed TO designate the treaties by means
Of which the Turkish Sultans and other
rnonarchs Of the Leyant. and of the still
more remote Orient, undertook To grant
10 foreigners in their doninions certain
exterritorial privileges in the form Of a
mere or less extensive immunity from
the Jurisdiction Of local trihunalsa and
the right of trial by their own diplomatic
aud consular representatives
This prerogative was already enjoyed
by foreigners at Constantinople under
the reign Of the Byzantine empercrs. and
when the Turks captured Stamboul, con-
verted the superb Christian basilica of
St Sophia into z mosque and established
their rule on the shores Of the Bos-
porus they consented 20 continuation
of the so-called capitulations
II must be confessed that these capitu-
Iations were more hOnored in the breach
than in the observance during the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turies. for they did not prevent the
Turks from subjecting foreigners, espe-
New-York tribune., 1910-05-08

to the abrogation of the capitulations in
the dominions of the Mikado.
There are no such reasons, however,
for making any co .cession Of the kind to
the Sublime Porte, and it is to be hoped
that the United States government will
return a negative response to the request
which it has received from StambOu1.
True, the Ottoman Sultan intimates that
compliance on the part of the authorities
at Washington would be followed by ad
vantages in Turkey to American finah-
cial, commercial and manufacturing in
terests. But Mehemed is presumably
holding out similar inducements, with
similar object in view, to the other great
powers, and, if so. where does the ad-
vantage of the United States over the
other nations come in? Moreover. COM
rnitted as is the Porte to all sorts OF
costly reforms, entailing the expenditure
of immense sums of money, it naturally

Strong Reasons for

citizen should ever be subjected to its
Jurisdiction
1t is a relic of barbarisrn. in spite OF
the wisdom Of some of it's teachings. and
no civilized Christian government. least
of all the government OF the United
States. should ever dream Of permitting
its subjects TO be rendered amenable to
the Jurisdiction of purely MOslem tri-
bunals. the principles of justice OF which
are wholly at variance with Western
civilization.
There is no equality before the law in
Turkey, where the Mahometan will al
ways have the advantage over the Chris
tian, and particularly over the foreign
Christian, in the eyes Of the Judges.
Moreover, the punishments are cruel and
the prison system worthy Of a country
STEPPED in the lowest depths Of barbar-
ISM The idea of subjecting an Amerf-
can born citizen to confinement therein
is altogether intolerable-
Then, too, the present constitutional
government has been in existence only
eighteen months. Sultan Mehemed, In
deed, completed only last week the first
year of his reign The new regime. while
procIaiming itself a friend Of progress
and of reform. has perpetuated many Of
the abuses so rampant in the days Of
Abdul Hamid, especially in connection
with the Imprisonment. the banishnent
and the confscation of property without
any judicial process. There is no guar
antee that it will last. or that some pop
uIar Moslem movement Will not over
throw the present government. do away
with the constitution and restore the
autocracy OF the Padishah in all It's
medieval despotism-
In one thing. at any rate, We may take
comfort: 1t will need the consent OF all
the great powers 10 secure the abolition
of the capitulations. and so pronounced
lust at present are the rfvalries in what
is known as the concert Of nations that
there is but small prospect Of their COM
ing to an agreement for the grant OF the
demands just made by the Porte on the
United States. EA-ATIACHE-
