TOO SOON TO REoRGAN1zE.

No immediate effort to reorganide
the republican Party. in part or In
whole. on hard and fast lines could be
abiding. The fighting issues Of the
next campaign are Yet TO be brought
into sigh, and outlined. Doubtless
they will crowd upon one another's
heels once the democratic party
into full power and sits down
in congress and the white house to
make good the platform promises to
the people.
The announcement Of President
elect Wilson's tha, an extra session
viii. open in April makes it possible
tha; early next summer will find
the mills Of legislation running
wild on the tariff grist. And
II Mr.. Bryan's views as to what the
extra session should accomplish are
tn prevail. the wheels will continue
to revolve until all the party meas-
ures of in the Baltimor plat
form have been written into law.
Mr.. Wilson would have liked long
er discussion of the extra session
proposition. but the spontaneous de-

the scratch forced him to a prompt
decision INC a formal statement Of
acquiescence. MFR. U~nderwood's
recent avowal that bills revising
the tariff are in curse of prepar-
ation for early action lets the fact
be seen that the democratic leader
ship is a unit on mode OF procedure.
However. something like a year
must elapse before the new tariff and
other radical departures can have
gone into effect and been subjected
to the crucial test Of the w%orking-ou,
process. II Governor Hadley and
Senators Cummins Inc Kenyon would
only hold OF till then, instead Of or.
ganizing a new progressive party on
the jump and challenging the bull
moosers to a fight for the title. they
might find all sorts of republicans
eager to let bygones be bygones and
enlist together under a common ban.
ner in a grand effort to restore the
status quo.
While the Hadley-
yon movement proves that the pro.
gressive leaders still have no realiz-
ing Ems of the folly Of allowing Per.
sonal ambitions and individual pro-
grams to outweigh the issues or
which the bulk of the people are
agreed. a year Of underdog life at the
mercy of the minority ought to be {
plenty. unless political history and
human nature have broken loose from
their moorings.

THE CITY OF SALONlkA
Town Taken by the Greeks is a
Great Seaport.

1t was a beautiful day. says a writ
er in the Christian Herald, that we
last entered the harbor of Salonika.
the city whose name even has been
less changed with the lapse of the
centuries than have the names of
most of the cities in Macedonia.
We have just steamed by glorious
Mount olympus, the most famous
mountain Of all antiquity. that rises
10000 feet sheer from the blue waters
of the AEGEAN.
There it stands today. majestic in
its isolation. Handicapped and mys-
that it was peopled with divinities.
demons and spirits of all kinds. good
and had. by the simple folk of the
elder time.
Even before passing the mighty
bulk Of Olympus. the city of Salonika
appears imposing in the distance with
its glistsning white houses and min
arets.
We approached slowly and careful,
by the Turkish authorities to prevent
the entrance of Italian gunboats. A
little pilot steamer came from behind
a headland five miles from the city
to lead the way. and at the slowest
possible speed we approached the
beautiful metropolis.
AS We land at the busy quay we find
all the hustle and confusion of d
great seaport. We were SO fortunate
as to find a friend patiently waiting
in a small boat with his much-be-
decked and be-pistoled kavass. who
relieved us of all trouble in landing
and at the custom house. We went
with our missionary friend through
the street that skirts the water front
and that leads to his industrial farm
school. some five miles out of the
city. Through the center of the street
runs a track of the electric car sys-
tenn Of Salonika. and the whizzing
"broomstick trains" dart back and
forth at a rate which would have
frightened the leisurely camels and
donkeys and their riders of the an
cient days.
Close up to the seawall. which pre-
vents the waters Of the bay from in
undating the city. lies the black hulks
Of the modern steamers which call
every great harbor in the world their
home port. On the shore side Of this
fine street are large hotels. great bust
ness warehouses and office buildings,
while further on it is lined on both
sides with beautiful residences of mod
ern S%alonikans.

Because even the lightest word OF
William Jennings Bryan is taken so
seriously by his followers. significance
must be given to his view of the hear
ings before the Clapp committee. Mr..
Bryan. speaking casually in the
course Of an interview, says:
The publicity for campaign
funds has v~indicated itself.
believe there might be some good
in appropriations for campaign
expenses. You know when an
idealist gives as much money in
campaigns as some Of those fell
lows are shown to have c%ontribut-
ed 1t is about time to have a
guardian appointed to look after
his estate.
Many idealiets contributed to the
campaign funds of Woodrow Wilson,
but so far there has been no move by
Mr.. Bryan. or any other regulator OF
public morals, to have guardians ap.
pointed to look after their estates.
Possibly it is unjust to call the con-
tributors to the democratic party
"idealists." Perhaps Mr.. Bryan would
classify them with the practical men
l. ia 1D0NCu W lC INOOSCVSII dIIO
Taft funds.
Neither the idealists nor the prac-
teal men would grieve very much ii
Mr.. Bryan were to throw the weight
Of his Personality toward the enact
ment Of a law forbidding campaign
contributions Of any sort and size
from any PURGE Perhaps the remark
made by MIR. Bryan is the beginning
Of an earnest campaign for the enact
ment of a law similar t the one pre-
vailing in England. where certain
campaign expenses are paid by the
government. At the Jackson day din
ner Mr.. Bryan made a similar remark
about publicity Of stock ownership in
newspapers, and another about pub.
licity Of recommendations for judicial
appointments. both Of which were
taken seriously in congress-.
II MIR. Bryan now lends his sup
port to a law forbidding anybody
from contributing to campaigns, he
will be comforting a great favor on
wealthy men. The record Of testi-
mony before the Clap committee
shows that only one or two wealthy
men contributed to campaigns be-
cause they wanted to do 80. The
others. like J. Pierpont Morgan, John
ID. Archbold. E. II. Hartman, and
II. H. Rogers. contributed because
campaign fund collectors pestered
them.
II the government wei establishes
n system Of paying campaign ex-
penses. the country will be flooded
with candidates. Wealthy men will
breathe easier. but the taxpayer will
have to pull his belt strap a little
tighter and work longer at night!
