THURSDAY, NOV. IA. 1912.

Now that the Democratic fight has
been won there is time to glance at
the Cuban election results, and to be
glad that the island is, apparently, to
have a business like administration
that will promote its welfare and i'm
prove trade relations with the United
States.
President-elect Menocal is Cornell
graduate and was educated as a civil
engineer. He spent eight years in the
United States taking his academic and
professional courses. He entered the
Cuban War for independence as pet
ty officer and was promoted to the po-
stion of Major General He was re-
garded as a brave and capable officer
and after the war Gen. Ludlow made
him chief of police Of Havana. He
next went into business and became
proprietor of sugar plantation, He
comes into Office as reformer, having
based his campaign upon the alleged
corruption of the existing admins
tration.
The election passed off quietly and
was, seemingly, as free from crooked
ness as an election may reasonably be
expected to be. The indications are
that the Cubans are gaining in fitness
for self-government.
Despite the croakers who have
prophesied that the Cubans would
never succeed in governing themselves
the republic seems to be hoeing its own
row pretty well.

The Ottoman Empires request for
aid from the Powers after less than a
month of fighting, and the statements
made in the uncensured dispatches
descriptive of the state of demoralza-
ton that exists, constitute confession
of failure that goes further than the
mere defeat of the Turks by the allies.
1t is a confession of the failure of the
civilization, or standardization, of
Turkey.
That the Turks, if well governed
would develop pride and patriotism can
hardly be doubted. But they have been
pillaged and brow-beaten by their
rulers throughout the history Of Tur-
key. That they are ready to turn TO
pillage and murder lii their capital
when driven back by an advancing en-
envy is not surprising. The wonder is
not that they are 50 much to be dread
ed in defeat, but that they have fought
as well as they have.
Turkey under Abdul Hamid was
governed very badly indeed, but the
old Sultan's diplomacy averted, or de-
ferred, the war that had been brewing
in the Balkans for many years. The
attempt at the modernizaton of the
Turkish Government of which much
was said soon after A bdul Hamid was
deposed, seems not TO have prospered
greatly. At any rate little or nothing
has been actually accomplished and
Turkey remains a scene of misgovern.
mcnt, and standardization containing
all OF the elements Of unruliness that
are likely to transform rout into a
slaughter Of innocents by the defeated
soldiers.
The victory OF the Balkan States.
and the resultant terrorism in Con.
stantinopIe, turns the light upon Tur.
key, a country whose Government has
maintained the standards of the Mid.
die Ages. If Turkey were gridironeC
with good roads, studded with school
houses with the curriculum not con
fined TO the Koran, and if it were a
country humming with mills and coin
ing wealth from mines, Bulgarian
soldier might still be capable of whip
ping two Turks-although he probab,
would not be-but in the event of ;
crushing defeat Of the Turkish arms il
would not be necessary for the Port,
TO resort 10 the Illuminating expedien
OF inviting the Christian Powers Il
cover Constantinople with the guns o
their warships 70 prevent Turkish
soldiers from holding a festival o
robbery and murder upon their owl
homes.
It is not altogether unfortunate tina
the fighting strength of Turkey has rul
low, as it seems TO have done, TO judg,
from the results OF four weeks OF war
Under the rule Of the survival OF tn,
fittest the Ottoman Empire, which
compared less favorably with European
civilization In the days OF the Crusader
than 1t does now, is about due TO com,
TO an end or inaugurate material re
forms. Elk.
