1t is an old saying that it is not wise

1t is an old saying that it is not wise
to trade horses while crossing a
stream. The experience of Turkey
seems to show that care should be
exercised about trading some time be-
fore the stream is reached. Accord
ing to some observers the woeful lack
of success of the Turkish armies has
been due to the fact that the recent
change of government was followed
by sweeping changes in the whole
personnel OF army officers. with the re-
suit that when the army was needed
for business the new officers did not
know their men. o the men the Of
fcers. No one was familiar with the
situation, and nobody had time to
learn. Troops lost their commanders.
supplies were delayed, and chaos
reigned everywhere.

It was characteristic Of the late
Judge Templeton that he cleared. up,
to the last item, tho business Of his
court before leaving. a weak and ill
man to be treated in a st. Paul hos

brought a few days later for burial.
That act was typical OF the man. and

Torrance OF duty. He never shirked.
he proerastinated. He was
faithful to duty. faithful even unto
death.

the memory Of the kindly disposition.

conscientiousness OF a departed friend
becomes a precious possession. and

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

Chicago Record Herold: The bu-
reau of public efficiency has rendered
the community another valuable serv-
ice in publishing a sound. businesslike
report on the growing cos of elections
in Chicago. Its figures are striking.
The annual expense has more than
trebled in sixteen years. The total now
approaches the $1,000 600 mark. And.
what is worse. the money spent in
certain elections or primaries ia worse
than wasted.
Economies are doubtless possible
in several directions. but the imme-
diate step dictated by common sense
and an honest desire for good gov
eminent is the abolition Of judicial
and aldermanic primaries. Such
abolition would save US about $7o,-
900 a year-a sum not to be despised
10y a city that complains Of chronic
impecuniosity-and would result in
much better councils and a stronger
bench.
The bureaus report is a. timely as
IL is admirable. 1t appears at the
right psychological moment to en-
phasize the necessity Of the emergen "
legislation advocated by the Munich
pal Voters league. by the progressive
county officers and by the independ-
INT press. legislation that would take
'he city council out Of national poll
Tics by removing irrelevant partisan
designations from, the ballots, and
that should provide for nominations
