To the victors in these November
elections that would continue victori-
Gus, comes the responsibility Of reward
ing not merely a few Of the faithful
with government patronage but of re-
warding the faith of the many millions
of people who long for better condi-
tions and who have hope of securine
those conditions through Democratic
administration.-Co State.
That is exactly correct. Heretofore
the principal object lesson that the
many millions have been learning has
been the struggle of their leaders for
pie" The thing has been going on sc
long and persistently that thousand
and hundreds of thousands have COM
to believe that there is nothing in it al
but pie. The Industrious, se,f-support-
ing self confident man, who Is able tC
make his own living without political
office and who desires no political Of
flee. is Getting very tired Of allowing
himself to be aroused by calls of os-
tensible duty to find at last he has only
been tearing his clothes for the benefit
of the other fellow. Just what is to be
done about this pie question, we GER
tainly do not know; but we would like
very much to see some of the patriots
do something that would interest the
country, with no flavor Of pie attached
to that something.

- The general advance of the Bull
garian army upon the Turkish lines at
Tchatalja, the main obstacle between
It and Constantinople, according to a
London cable Of Saturday, has COM
menced and, according to Sofia re-
ports. already has met with some sue
cess. The Bulgarians aim at attack
ing the forts Of which the line is COM
posed, simultaneously, and with that
object the army Is stretched across the
peninsula, With every available piece
Of artillery that could be gathered to-
;ether, it Is marching straight towards
the works. which until the Turks suf-
fered the series Of awful defeats, were
considered by military experts as i'm
pregnable. The advance guards Of
ready reached the village of Lazari-
keui, near Lake Derkos. on the Turk
ish right below the town Of Tchatalja,
facing the center Of the line which took
its name from the town and Arnautk-
eui, to the south, and near the sea of
Marmora. All these places have been
occupied and from Arnautkeui the
Bulgarian artillery Is Smelling Biyuk
Chekmedye, where there are two Turk
ish forts comprising the extreme left
Of the Turkish line. Reconnoitering
parties have gotten around the f1anks
Of the Turks right and are operating in
the country between the Tchatalja
lines and the capital. But the various
divisions have only just commenced
the attempt to make a breach which
will give them an opening toward the
city Of their desire. Those who have
visited the Turkish front differ consid-
erably as to the ability Of the defen-
ders to hold the forts. However, un-
less the Turks give up without a fight
there will be battle II possible more
sanguinary than any that has preceded
it, before peace emissaries succeed In
their efforts to end the conflict AL
though the cost Of life will be heavy,
the Bulgarians would like to have the
battle decided before an armistice Is
arranged, because with the Turks
beaten in their last ditch it would be
long time before they could make fur
ther trouble for their neighbors. Sou
tart, Adrianople and Monastir arc still
holding out against the allies who keep
up their bombardments. The Greeks
are now heading toward Janina and
the Montenegrins, according to an un-
confirmed report, have beaten the Ser
vians in the race to San Giovanni Di
Medua, which it is said, they have TAX

Mr.. John e. Carroll has practically

position with the Yorkville Banking
and Mercantile company.
The boys and girls who come to
Yorkville next Saturday, follow closely
the proceedings and determine to heart
lily join In with the work Of the clubs,
will have reason to remember the oc-
casion with pleasure during the bal
ance Of their lives.
1t is now becoming pretty generally
appreciated that the erection Of hand
some and substantial school buildings
at Glover Sharon and Hickory Grove,
has put those towns forward many
years, all at a single jump. Glover and
Sharon feel 1t already, and Hickory
Grove is as confident as II the expect
ed results were already being realized.
And another thing, the erection Of
these buildings has done much to edu-
cate communities generally into the
belief that investment in a first class
school building is the first milestone in
general development.
All the York county banks continue
prosperous and they continue to add to
the prosperity of the country around
them. People are realizing as never be-
fore what a convenience and benefit
the bank Is not only to the man who
has surplus Of cash; but to the man
who has no cash at all. The man who
has surplus of cash finds the bank
convenience In taking care Of 1t for
him, and the bank benefits itself as
we'll as the country generally by lend
ing that cash to others who have need
of it. 1t Is splendid educational work
that the banks have accomplished
within the past dozen years, and the
whole country has been deriving the
benefit of that work.
We are glad to see clubmakers of
The Enquirer giving closer attention
than usual to the sending in Of new
names. Already number Of lists have
been received that include new names,
and some Of them come from terri
tories that had previously been repre-
sented as having been worked to a fin
ish. From returns already in, it is clear
that new subscribers are to be had in
every neighborhood, and If clubmakers
will only press that liberal offer we are
making, to send the paper from the
time the subscription Is entered until
Jan. l. 1914 for the price Of a years
subscription they are sure to get re-
suits. And don't fail to look after re-
newals also. Get them and send them
in without unnecessary delay.

not reached a point where 1t can un-
derstand, and voters who do not know
any better, are made to believe that the
resulting temporary confusion Is per-
manent result of the incompetency Of
the party in power. The great manu-
featuring and commercial interests
that are invariably affected by reason
able and just changes in the tariff are
always resentful on account of the ad-
verse effects of such changes, and they
never fail to prolong the agony to the
greatest possible extent. 1t would be
best for the Democratic party, perhaps,
If it could bring about needed changes
in the tariff gradually and steadily
over long period of time; but for OBJ
vious reasons this is impracticable
The promises that have been made
must be complied with at once, else the
party will be discredited. AS to wheth-
er the party can make the changes II
has promised to make and which II
should make and weather the storm,
remains to be seen. But people, who
consider that there is nothing ahead
but pain easy sailing are going to find
themselves badly mistaken.

when they enter into private life. His
chief regret, the president said. was
that he had been unable to influence
the United States senate to ratify the
arbitration treaties with France and
Great Britain. In spite Of that fact he
asked his audience to believe that he
would leave office with deepest graft
tude to the American people for the
honor they had given him and with the
belief that enough progress had been
accomplished in his administration
to warrant him in feeling that he had
done real good for his country. His
humorous references to the burdens OF
the White House. to his successor and
to Mr.. Bryan brought forth round af-
ter round Of applause. He gave toast
to his successor: Health and success

gentleman who is to be" and he rails
ed his glass while his hearers rose to
their feet, the next president Of the
United States"

THE Meeting OF THE CLUBS

The meeting Of the York county
Corn, Pig and Canning clubs in York
vile next Saturday will constitute an
| unusually interesting and important
| occasion, and every effort Is being made
| not only to secure a record breaking
| attendance; but the people Of York
vile want to see to 1t that all visitors
have a day not only Of pleasure but of
profit.
Originally the town of Yorkville was
asked only to entertain the members
Of the Corn, Pig and Canning clubs,
actual and prospective; but the more
the people themselves have thought of
the whole matter the stronger has
grown the idea Of welcoming the faith
ers and mothers of the boys and girls,
or at least all who are taking a per-
sonal interest in the club work, and
who will come to Yorkville next Sat-
urday.
The canvass of the town so far made
through committees Of the Board of
Trade, has developed that practically
ing some of the visitors next Saturday,
and it is expected that a completion of
the canvass will find places for at least
several hundred. The most serious
drawback to a thoroughly systematic
assignment of the visitors Is the i'm
possibility of getting exact information
as just how many will be present; but
this problem is receiving the most
careful consideration, and 1t will be
solved as satisfactorily as possible.
Analysis of the situation with view
to avoiding the possibility of fall
down" in the towns hospitality, has
brought up the matter Of the people
who will arrive from the eastern side
Of the country on the early morning
train. Most of the people who come on
this train will be required to leave
home before breakfast and they Will
reach Yorkville at about breakfast
time. The committee is especially de-
sirious of taking care Of these people,
and Prof. ]. H. Witherspoon calculates
that the best way to handle the situ-
alton Is for these people to write him
at once, that they are coming. With the
certain information as to how many
and who to provide for, he proposes to
arrange with a sufficient number OF
families to have breakfast ready, meet
the visitors at the depot and take them
to the homes to which they have been
assigned. Those who intend coming
by these trains, therefore, will readily
appreciate the Importance OF writing
Prof. Witherspoon at once.
It will be noted that the programme
for the day, which will be found else
where In this issue contemplates an
adjournment at / o'clock so as to a.

Aliens Lose Appeal.-The Virginia
supreme court on yesterday refused a
new trial for Floyd Allen and his son,
Claude Swanson Allen. The men are
condemned to die in the electric chair
next Friday for the murder Of officials
of the Carroll county court at Hillsville,
March IA.
Floyd Allen was convicted May II,
specifically for the killing Of Common
wealth's Attorney William Foster. AL
lens son, tried on the charge OF killing
Judge Thornton L. Massie, was con-
victed and sentenced to fifteen years In
the penitentiary. A second trial on an
indictment for the killing Of Attorney
Foster resulted in a conviction for
murder in the first degree, July 27.
1t Is believed that Governor Mann
will not interfere with the execution Of
the sentence imposed by the courts.
The appeal to the supreme court for
new trials, decided adversely today,

If 1t were a matter Of keeping the Of
flee out of politics, and there was less
politics in the legislature than there is
in the primary there Is a much more
practical reason why solicitors should
be elected by the legislature than in
the primary. Solicitors have a great
deal more power in criminal matters
than have judges, and the solicitor who
will do his full duty regardless of the
knowledge that ward heelers will have
a chance at him later is indeed man.
There are solicitors who do not regard
the fortunes of the primary, and there
are others who do not regard the in
fiuences that can be brought to bear
against their reelection. But the pres
sure that could be brought to bear on
a judge elected by the people is not as
great as the pressure that can be
brought to bear on judge elected by
the legislature The reputation Of a
judge is much safer in the hands Of the
many than it is in the hands of the
few.

= Belgrade, November 10: The Turk
ish fortress Of Monastir surrendered
this afternoon to the Servian troops
Fifty thousand Turkish soldiers and
three generals laid down their arms
Monastir virtually had been surround
ed by Servian troops for several days
while Greek troops coming from the
south had cut og the Turkish line OF
retreat to Ochrida. On Saturday the
Servian troops, after desperate fighting
throughout the day and night captured
two important heights commanding the
city. They then advanced through the
morasses upon the interior fortifica-
tions, which surrendered today. Mon
astir Is the headquarters of the Sixth
Turkish army corps, commanded by
Fethi Pasha, but many other Turkish
troops fleeing from surrounding towns
which had been invested by the Ser
vians concentrated there. david Pa
sha, the commander Of the Sevent:
Turkish army corps, went there with
many Of his soldiers after the fall OF
the Uskup to the Servians. It was
thought that the Turkish troops would
be able to stand a lengthy siege in
Monastir but 1t is evident the army
was totally disorganized and lacked
y
commanding Monastir by the Servian
army rendered the fortress untenable,
Fethi Pasha, former Turkish minister
to Belgrade, was one of the first to
hand over his sword, At the beginning
Of the war he made the remark: I'VE
will soon invite our friends to dinner in
Belgrade" The representatives of
Germany and Italy informed Premier
Patchich Of Servia today that their
governments supported Austria's view
OF Servia's claim to an extension of
her territory after the war. M. Patch
ich declined to give a definite answer
until the wars conclusion. The fight
ing which proceeded the surrender of
Monastir lasted two days. The Servi-
ans had occupied all the high points IL
the northwest of the town. They
brought up large number Of field bat
teries, howitzers and other heavy gun
which enabled them to silence this
Turkish artillery. Saturday a Servian
division was ordered to storm a posi-
tion west Of the town held by 10000
Turks with seventeen guns. They en-
marshy ground but effectually prevent
ed the attempt Of this section of the
Turks to break through the retreat into
Albania. According to unofficial ac-
counts the Turks suffered the loss of
1000 killed and wounded, including
several superior officers. In the M an
time the Servian wing swung around
and seized the Dolintze Giawar road,
cutting into the Turkish line Of COM
munication. The Turks, thus sur
rounded, fought desperately and it is
supposed that the arrival of the Greek
army from the south rendered surren-
der inevitable.

If the Democrats are to revise the
tariff as they are bound to do, they
would be foolish indeed to put off the
beginning of the work a moment long
er than is absolutely necessary. Tink-
ering with the tariff always causes
commercial decentralization, changed
schedules bringing about temporary
depression. The depression invariably
lasts until the country can re-adjust
it's business to the change. Heretofore
succeeding elections have been coming
on before the completion of the read
justment, and the party that may have
brought about the reviison has invari-
ably suffered. The chances are that the
Democratic party will suffer as the re-
suit of any change it may make in the
tariff. 1t is not to be understood that
it should suffer; but the country has
