tured crews. At length we formally
declared war against Tripoli. The
result was that pir ate operations in the
Mediterrsnean were forever stopped.
But, in truth, the experience had its
principal significance, as has been
said, in the fact that out of it our own
navy was developed.
Tripoli is q Turkish province. If
the result OF the present disturbance
is the passing OF the region into the
possession of Italy, some of the re-
suits may have bearing upon u own
country. The Italians have been
pouring into the United States.
Tripoli has q s%quare-mile area nearly
three times that of Montana. The
testimony of an Italian writer is that
the conquest OF Tripoli would furnish
q region where Italy can take care of
it's surplus population for q century.

Tripoli available Italy would turn its
attention in the new direction and
that the Italian migr alton to the
United States would instantly be
checked"
1taly's ability to get possession of
Tripoli and hold the territory does
not depend, eve remotely, upon her
own relative power or upon Turkeys
relative weakness. 1t will be as the
powers say. We took the Philip.
pines, Great Britain took the land of
the Beers, Japan tookIvaluable Pacific
possessions, Russia wants territory
in Asia and Germany in Africa. Per.
haps it's Italy's turn: it depends upon
the powers.
Certainly, 1the civilized world will
not be deeply impressed by the COM.

sure, Italian subjects and Italian
property and Italian interests have
suffered because OF the failure Of
Turkey to protectsthem within Turkish
dominion. But all the powers have

General Wright May
Be Candidate.

Atlanta, August 15-ComptrolIer
General w. A. WriSht's name is be-
ing pelsistently mentioned in con-
nection with the office of Governor,
and politicians of various factions
are inclined to think that he would
be a formidable candidate. Gener-
al Wright has not committed him
self on the subject; though it is
known that he would not be averse,
to accepting the honor.
General Wright is known as one
of the strongest and most conserva-
tive men in the state, and his adj
mirers know no faction lines.
His candidacy would naturally be
strongly backed by the Confederate
Veterans and their friends, as he
would probably be the last of the
vetersns to seek 9ubernatorial hon
ors in the south.

Evolution Of the Enterprise

is an interesting study. Ia that

out into the field and looking for

quite an army of boys and girls,

We never employed but one

help some poor fellow that was
down and out. That good boy, and
a good printer he was, is dead.
