The MAN Who
CAN DECLARE
A HOLY WAR
SHIEK BIGGER Than SULTAN
Is Actual Head of Great Host
of MOSIpmS

London, Nov. f5.-The Sheik-ul-Is-
lam, who has been reported as likely
to proclaim holy war against the al
lies attacking Turkey, is the religious
head of all Mohammedans. In his re-
ligious authority he has been likened
! to the pope of the Catholic church,
holding ecclesiastical authority over
his co-religionists everywhere in the
world In his official position in the
| Ottoman empire his rank resembles in
many ways that of the Archbishop of
Canterbury in the British empire. His
most dreaded power is that of pro-
claiming a holy war, which might
arouse the Moslems of British India
and Egypt. French North Africa and
German East Africa to armed rebel
lion.
/ The Sheik-ul-Is in addition to
being the highest ecclesiastical author
ity the supreme interpreter of the Ko-
ran, is first magistrate of the Ottoman
empire, with his seat at Constantine
/ pie and keeper of the great seal, as
well as de facto minister of justice
and education. Twice a week he pre-
| sides over the supreme court of JUS
tice or arzodessi, which is attached to
his palace at Constantinople, and from
his decision there is no appeal. He
has absolute control over the, Imans,
Mollahs, Ulemas and Softas, as we'll
as over the superiors of various me-
drasses, or theological colleges, and
over all judicial and religious institu-
tions.
| While he owes his appointment to
the sultan, yet he has 1t in his power
to depose the latter by relieving the
people of their allegiance, if, in his
opinion, the sultan has been guilty
of anything to forfeit their allegiance
In many cases the sultan is powerless
without his cooperation. Certain de-
crees cannot be issued without his
signature and the imprint of the great
seal, or fetwa, of which he is the GUS
todian.
! When the Young Turk movement
was begun at Adrianople by rising of
the troops and an insurgent military
pronunciamento, the sultan immediate
| ly ordered troops to be despatched 20
Adrianople to crush the insurrection
and suppress the mutineers. His min
listers pointed out to him that accord
ing to immemorial usage and to the
teachings of the Koran Moslem troops
could not be used against their CO.
religionists without the consent of the
shiek-Islam. When the sultan ap-
pealed to the Sheik-ui-islam to issue
the necessary authorization, he refused
to do SO, on the ground that the in
suraents in clamoring for the en-
forcement of the constitution granted
in 1875 by the sultan and never re-
pea'ed, hGd been guilty Of no offense
in the eyes of the Koran meriting their
prescription. 1t was this attitude OF
The Sha.k-ul-Islam that forced the
sultan to yield and to introduce the
nresent regime. n
4 The Shiek-ul-Islam enjoys prece-
dence over all the other dignitaries oi

UNWISE SLASHING
IS NOT WANTED
BrantlGy Talks Of Democratic
Victory

Brunswick, Ga, Nov 15.-Probably
the most conservative summary of the
democratic victory of last week given
out by any of the leaders of the party
is that made public by Congress-
man W. G. Brantley of the Eleventh
district, who has just returned to his
home in this city from Washington af-
ter what he termed one of the most
strenuous sessions during his long
;ongressional career Mr.. Brantley
gave some vey interesting views of the
political situation and the democratic
outlook.
THE democratic party must not get
too 'chesty' over the outcome of the
election said Mr. Brantley. Through
Il split in the republican party we
have the opportunity to demonstrate
our capability to handle the destinies
of the country and it is up to us to
make good Party lines are going to be
drawn between the conservatives ar
radicals and the split gives the Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to represent the
conservative element of all parties"
Discussing the tariff, Mr. Brantley
dOss not agree with those democrats
who have made tariff for revenue
only an issue.
The great stumbling block that
faces the party" said MIR. Brantley, lis
the tariff and we must proceed with
consideration and deliberation. We
must not cut and slash or make any
radical moves that would cause people
TO lose faith in the party. Considera-
ton is due the big industrial interests
that control the prosperity of the coun-
try and we want to deliberate and give
all interests an opportunity to be heard
before We frame any new tariff laws.
"A tariff for revenue only is out of
the question. A tariff is bound to pro-
tect. continued the congressman.
The first tariff law ever framed states
plainly to protect the industries of the
United States and provide revenue for
the government, and for these reas-
ons a satisfactory tariff will never be
framed until the burdens and benefits
are evenly distributed
Continuing along this line Mr.. Brant-
ley said: THE ways and means COM
mittee of the next session should meet,
grant hearings to all interested par
ties. and frame a bill for the consid-
Grafton of congress, and a complete
tariff bill, not schedule by schedule,
should be submitted"
Congressman Brantley is convinced
that President-elect Wilson will give
the country, a sound, conservative ad-
ministration.
His latter speeches during the cam
pagn were on a conservative basis, he
said, and there is no doubt but that
ne has great material from which to
choose his cabinet"
In passing Mr.. Brantley paid his
compliments to Col Roosevelt by stat.
ing that he considered the colone
would be menace to the country as
long as he lived.

SOME SYSTEM IS NECESSARY
Poultrymen Should Keep Books, Same
as In Any Other Line Of Business
1t Stops Leaks.

Poultry keeping is business
and should be conducted along
business lines. Some system Of
accounting is necessary. The poul
tryman should keep records of all
the income and expenses of his busl.
ness in order to know whether it Is q
paying proposition or not. II it does
not pay he should know it and either
stop the leak or go out of business.
An elaborate system of bookkeeping
is not necessary. If the poultryman
wishes to avoid keeping full accounts
he can at least keep cash account
This does not express the exact finan-
cial condition of the business, but is
an excellent help so far as 1t goes.

SOME FACTS ABOUT TURKEYS
Ono Sensible Thing Is to Keep Best
Birds for Breeding and Send
Others to Market.

Turkeys kept for breeding stock
should be the best that there is in the
flock. 1t is difficult for some people
to keep their best turkeys and
send the others to market, but it's the
only sensible way to do The habit Of
selling the best is not characteristic
of only the least intelligent people; it
is common with the people who have
raised turkeys all their lives. and
people who would not think of
breeding other stock Of the farm
in such careless way. These
people have attained the success
and profits in turkey raising that are
enjoyed by the man who handles them
as fairly as he does his COWS and
hogs.
The best care in the world can do
little with poorly bred poults and
turkey chicks. You cannot expect
large turkeys from small breeders.
Size is not the only thing to be con-
sidered In selecting the stock; thrift
and firmness have as much to do with
the choice as the size; big, well-built
bodies and legs to be desired
also.
And on top of all, do not ruin the
vigor OF your strain by too early
breeding.

but ornamental as well. Their alert,

there is big profits in 1t, which is the

Bank of Trap Nests.

ject of the poultryman to breed and
build up the strain which lays the
heaviest, by breeding to the heavy
producers.
For fanciers. the trap nest Is indis-
pensable on account of the fact that
in the ordinary pen there are from six
to twelve females to one male. IL
trap nests are used, and there are
as many as there are females in the
pen, it is possible to distinguish each
hens eggs, while If the trap nests are
not used, this is impossible,
The use of trap nests goes far to
prevent the hens forming the habit of
egg-eating. They are likely to form
this habit If kept in limited quarters.
If SO kept, they are probably not given
the very best food, and probably not
enough Of it, especially animal food
The accompanying drawings of a
bank of trap nests are almost self ex-
planatory. The nests are built with
out any top or bottom, The hen en-
ters through the back of the nest,
brushing under the hanging wire,
which releases the door. She then
passes on to the next compartment
toward the front end. To inspect the
nest and to remove the hen, ascertain
her number, and secure the eggs, the
front door is simply unbuttoned and
let down. 1t will be noticed that the
two doors are fastened together with
cord, SO that when the front door
