Union. He was uncomfortably intiexi-
bic on that as on all other subjects.
Yet with all his observation-disclosures
he was a useful and popular Senator.
He never spared himself, and won his
way to the front as a legislator by
sheer endurance and capacity. He
fought through the pure food bill and
later took the lead in cOdifying the
laws of the United States-a wearying
but very important work. lie enjoyed
the respect Of his colleagues because
he was positive and earnest in all

living the territorial status OF Turkey
in Europe, and which are undisguls-
edly most intent on presently doing so
again for their own aggrandizement.
Practically the powers declare that, no
matter who does the fighting, they will
seize the spois; no matter who does
the work, they will take the profits.
The interest of the Balkan States in
Turkish affairs is no doubt largely just
as sordid as that Of the great powers.
Each Of the four wants n share or
Turkish territory. But beyond that
they have the very acute additional
interest of the welfare Of their COM
patriOts in race and religion who are
suffering under Turkish misrule for
lack of the reforms which the great
powers promised 10 enforce more than
a third Of a century ago and which
have not yet been enforced. In the
face of such conditions there Is much
excuse for the Balkan States If they
have lost patience and have precipitat-
ed a crisis which would have been en-
tirely obviated had the Treaty OF Ber-
lin been executed by its signatories. II
NAV be that their action is injudiciOuS
and unwise, seeing how completely
helpless they will ultimately be before
the dictation of the powers. But the
moral accountability Of the powers Will
not be enviable in first making the war
practically inevitable through their
own dereliction Of duty and then inter
fering to thwart its legitimate results.

WELDON b. HEPBURN.

The State Of Idaho can easily elect
q successor to Weldon r. Hepburn, but
no one can really replace him in the
United States Senate. His position In
that body was unique. lie delighted to
be classified as "stand-patter.' lie
was really q "stand-patter' who bent
backward. 1t will be impossible to
find another man who will play the
part Of ultra-conservative with the unc-
ton, the sincerity and the effectiveness
which Mr.. Hepburn always displayed
and which finally made him one Of the
institutions Of the Senate. He was
himself institutional In character, root
ed in convictions and prejudices which
never could be shaken by any mere
disturbance Of the outer crust OF poll
tics.
He remained patriarchal in his ideas,
lust as If the patriarchal age was
thing Of yesterday. When the Senate
was discussing an eight'hour law for
federal employees he quoted the com
mandment, six days shalt thou labor"
and said that in his opinion a day
meant the space between sunrise and
sunset. Not In spirit Of humorous
exaggeration but in one Of downright
seriousness lie cOntended that 1t was a
neglect of the Biblical injunction to
call eight hours a day for wor,s ing pur-
poses. He was willing himsel work
from candle light TO candle light and
wanted everybody else to live up to the
ancient pastoral standard.
In tariff legislation he held that a
higher duty was always preferable to a
lower duty, and no duty could be put
too high to please him. He never
realized that the Civil War was over,
and felt it duty to rasp the sensibili-
ties Of his Southern colleagues when
ever anything was proposed which even
squinted at conformation Of secession
