He whistled shrilly three times, and after an interval of waiting heard the splash of oars and presently saw . skin steal out of the gloom.

 Slowly the clearing lifted out of the darkness, then tho keel boat became distinguishable: and Darlington checked the skin by . backward stroke of the oars.
 "Helloi" he called.
 There was no immediate answer to his hail and he called again AS he sent the skin forward. He felt that be was risking all now.
 What do you want?" asked a surly voice
 You want Siosson!" quickly prompted the girl in a whisper.

 Mrs. George Rogers, 51 Walnut street, Putnam, Conn, says: "My kidneys were in bad shape for a long time, and all though I tried many remedies did not find relief. There was a constant ache across the small of my back and l was hardly able to attend to my housework.

THE TROUBLES OF TURKEY

There can be little question that It
| is to the advantage Of both Italy and
| Turkey to compose their differences
and conclude peace without further de-
lay. The presumptive terms are about
all that Italy could expect, no matter
how long she continued the struggle
Thus far her war against Turkey has
been popular at home, scarcely a voice
being raised against it; but there have
been indications that the nation is be-
ginning to regard its costs and bur
dens at least as closely as its prospec-
tive profits, and to conclude that it
would be well to take the cash and
let the credit 90" by making immediate
peace on the basis Of what might now
be secured. Moreover, in a fight for
life between Turkey and the Balkan
states Italy's interests would be large
ly on the side Of Turkey, because she
wants at least a part Of Albania and
knows that there would be little, If
any, chance Of her getting it now right
upon the heels Of her seizure Of Tripoli
and Cyrenaica in the face of Austro-
Hungarian, Servian and Greek greed to
possess it. Her purpose would be bet
ter served by a postponement Of the
partitioning Of Turkey.
1t would obviously be to Turkeys
great advantage to be rid Of her
trouble with Italy before plunging into
a Balkan war. There need be little
fear of her suffering loss Of prestige or
FORGETTING the loyal attachment Of her
troops by yielding to Italy in Tripoli.
That loss has already been discounted,
and it will simply make the Osmanli
troops the more eager TO wreak their
vengeance on another foe In Balkan
war Turkey would thus find distrac-
ton from her defeat in Africa and re-
unite her soldiers and her people in a
frenzy of patriotism. Already it is OBJ
vious that campaign against the Bal
kan states. and particularly against
most-hated Bulgaria, would be Inn
mensely popular, and we may expect
to see the Turks Of all shades Of pollt-
ical opinion rallying to the standard Of
Islam as they have not done before In
this generation.
There have, indeed, been clear init
nations for some time past Of COM
posture Of factional differences in Tur-
key and an inclination Of the people to
unite in what may be the last stand OF
the Turks in Europe. 1t must be re-
membered that Turkey has now be-
come, for the first time in her history,
European constitutional power instead
of the Asiatic despotism Of former
years. The question 10 be decided is
whether this new status will avail to

WHOSE FAULT?

"The engineers fault" say the dis
patches regarding the latest wreck upon
the New Haven Railroad. SO was the
similar fatal accident a year ago upon
the same road, when another train was
wrecked trying 10 take a crossover at
high speed In violation Of rules, "the
engineers fault" So there will be
other accidents which will be "the en-
gineers fault in the future. There is
not any room for dispute in this type
OF accidents about whose the immediate
fault is. And there will be little profit
In fixing the responsibility If the rail
roads feel that proof that their rules
have been violated absolves them and
If they do not set about reducing the
possibility of passengers losing their
lives through the engineers fault.
What has the New Haven Railroad
done since the accident Of 1911 to pre-
vent its repetition? Has 1t any effec-
tive system for discovering and punish
ing violations Of its rules for the safety
of It's passengers by its employees? If
It does not enforce its orders against
taking crossovers at excessive speed
and assuming other forbidden risks
regularly and Systematically the real
responsibility for the loss Of life must
rest upon 1t. Moreover, are its cross
overs as safe as crossovers used for
express service by trains travelling at
high speed and expected to adhere to
a schedule should be? 1t was COM
monty said that the crossover at which
the earlier wreck occurred was too
short.
The railroads must reduce the dan
ger from the human factor by main
tanning better discipline. by doing away
as much as possible with the necessity
for depending upon caution among
train operatives and by adopting auto
matte devices which prevent the dis
obedience OF rules and the neglect Of
necessary caution. They are slow In
making travel as safe as 1t might be.

THE CALIFORNIA OUTRAGE.

Under the terms Of an Ubiquitous pri-
mary election law theA Republicans or
California have been deprived of the
right to vote for the Republican party's
candidates for President and Vice
President. Supporters Of the national
candidates of another party, having got
control of the Republican machinery,
have used 1t to exclude from the OIL
cial ballot nominees for elector pledged
to Taft and Sherman. The time hav-
ing passed for fling by petition an
independent Taft and Sherman ticket,
the Republicans Of the state are left
completely plundered and dispossessed.
The only way in which they can sup
port the national ticket will be to write
the names of thirteen candidates for
elector IN the blank space on the Off
cial ballot.
The Supreme Court Of California has
unanimously decided that under the
law no remedy exists for the theft OF
the Republican column on the official
ballot by the supporters Of Roosevelt
and Johnson. But the court, through
its Chief Justice, who delivered the
opinion, felt obliged to condemn the
law as unfair and oppressive. Said
Chief Justice Beatty: ut disfran-
"chises absolutely the voters Of this
"state and deprives them Of the free
exercise Of their functions as indie
pendent voters" Yet the court could
not find q way out. The disfranchise-
ment, it held, was mot justifiable'
morally, but It was "the law" and the
court was obliged to respect the PLAIN
mandate Of the Legislature.
Although defeated in their suit the
Republican managers have neverthe-
less won a gratifying and useful vic
tory in eliciting a judicial declaration
which puts the receivers of the stolen
goods forever on the defensive. If the
national candidates of the Progressive
party are willing to be the beneficiaries
Of legalized robbery in California they
will have a hard time squaring them
selves In that state and in all the other
states Wlln luOSe WIZ DSllcNS III NAt
Square DEAF in politics. The highest
court in California has declared 'un-
justifable" the manipulation by which
Republican candidates for elector have
been kept off the Republican ticket
If Colonel Roosevelt and Governor
johnson can stoop to condone a sharp
practice whose fraudulent intent is OBJ
vious to everybody their lofty profess
sions Of political virtue and social JUS
tice will have to be abandoned. They
are seeking to profit by a defective
and oppressive statute, which If APP
piled against them would certainly ex-
cite their most savage censure.
Is it with them only a matter or
whose OK is gored? The public every
where will think it is If they make no
protest against receiving the support OF
electors running on Republican ticket
and displacing from the official ballot
an equal number of loyal Republicans.
The moral sense Of the nation will re-
volt against those who knowingly
profit by fraud, as well as those who
actually practise it.

CRUSADERS" INDICATED.

The stand pat" officials of the cay
nor type in Newark, \. j., VINO rage
against any attempts 10 suppress vice
and crime as assaults upon THE tair
fame of the city," have just received d
disheartening blow from no less an au-
thority than the Chief Justice OF the SUI
preme Court Of the state. little ulhe
ago various philosophical citizens pro-
tested TO the local government that
vice and crime were becoming shock
ingly rampant in numerous saloons ana
public dance halls, particularly III the
corruption Of children Of both sexes
OF course the Mayor and police au-
thorities Indignantly denied 1t, ana
their ever faithful chorus denounced
the "meddlesome and pIurient crusad-
ers" who were 'libelling the city, de-
claring that Newark was one or tne
most virtuous and orderly communities
this side Of Utopia.
This week, however, the Chler JUS
tice took occasion to charge the grand
Jury. 1t was a supplementary ana
special charge, for that body had al
ready been at work on other matters
He explained to the jurors that he
had said nothing about these charges
earlier for the reason that he wanted
personally to investigate them before
doing so. Then, after rehearsing the
charges of abominable conditions, he
said: "I am entirely satisfied that
"these conditions do exist 10 certain

norian theory that the police are to

upon or brought TO their attention by
compliments, and that the supreme
duty of all is to preserve an external
appearance Of decency. Ii does not do
for the police TO say that they did not

their business to know them. 1t is
their business to see that the law is

that when public sentiment becomes

1t may be that His Honor the Mayor
of New York will be ready to quote
Epictetus, Aristophanes and Marcus
Aurelius to prove that the New Jersey
Chief Justice has his head stuffed
with vice and crime" but we imagine
that most right thinking men will wish
that the judges rules rather than the
Mayors prevailed in New York as well
as In Newark.
