Another King for Bavaria.

The determination of the Bavarian government to
depose King Otto and to enthrone the Prince Re-
gent Ludwig, in his place is reasonable and just
but the fact that the deposition has been delayed
long is striking tribute to the conservatism of the
country and to its regard for the divine right of
kings. 1t not strange tha' the artist King"
Ludwig II declared insane and was replaced by
a regent, or that the regency was continued after
his death and the nominal accession Of his still
insane brother. But it was extraordinary that the
regency should be maintained for more than twenty
seven years. during all of which time it was about
as certain anything could be in human affairs
that Otto would never be able to reign and would
provide no heir to succeed him.
Ludwig ILL., as the new King will he styled. is
three years older than the mailman whose place he
will take, but he is a man Of stalwart body and
mind, with numerous children and grandchildren, so
that the succession to the throne will be well as

The Balkan Atrocities.

For Bulgarian atrocities" hereafter read bal.
kan atrocities" That is in brief the gist of the
Carnegie Commissions report, after what seems to
have been impartial investigation The Bull
garian atrocities of a generation ago were com
mitted by Turkish irregular troops upon Bulgarians
The Balkan atrocities Of the present year were
committed by each member of the Balkan League
against its own allies.
All the Balkan nations said to be guilty. Bull
garia most of all. That, we think accords with the
opinion which intelligent readers of the news had
already formed 1t may still be a question whether
one nation began the DEVILS work and the others
followed by way of reprisals, whether they all
went at it spontaneously. Really, it does not
-reaty matter The plea of reprsals could not ex-
cuse nor paate such offences.
If any is possible it is this Those peoples
have for many centuries been accustomed to such

To What the President Has Opened the
Door

II President Wilson wants to know what appoint
ments to the exempt class in the civil service
often mean in view of his approval Of the efforts of
Congress to tamper with the merit system, he might
probably recall some testimony which was recently
given at an official investigation in this state. For
example:
what we're his duties as confidential clerk?"
WELL really, L couldn't find anything for him
ITO do"
wouldn't a confidential clerk have some stated
duties?"
''He would be confidential to me, but l did all the
conhdental work myself I didn't find anything
for him to do"
Were there some days when he did not report?"
"There a good many days when never saw
him"
did you certify that he worked regularity
Yes, l certified to the payroll"
"You certified that he worked every day."
Yes, SIR
The confidential" employe in question himself
was Intercepted, and replied as follows:
What hours did you work.
well l couldn't say. / done whatever work
was TO be done, but there isn't very much work at

You took your salary right along?'
Yes"
Did you feel that you entitled to take your
salary from the state?"

And Of such is the class Of "exempts' and conf
dental" employees, which the President bids to
increase and multiply.

"AMATEURISM"
An Englishman Urges Sportsmanship
in It's Place.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
| Sir Mr. James l.. Sullivan, in his state
ment reported In your issue OF 18th inst,
has upset the cherished illusions Of many
With respect TO the amateur status of the
ancient Olympic competitors. who are
no doubt erroneously-pctured by many
historians as submitting TO training
which i'm seriousness, enthusiasm and
specialization has been equaled only by
the course pursued in evolving the mod
ern college athlete" and as striving
solely for honor and glory and a wreath
of bays
1t is certainly on record that during the
period Of preparation and competition
they were supported and trained at the
public expense; but if this constitutes the
professionalism" alleged by Mr.. Sullivan,
does he propose to refuse all outside aid
and compel every competitor at the COM
ing Berlin Olympic sports to find the
whole of his individual and his share OF
the collective team expenses?
The evolution of the amateur from
the wealthy man who followed a sport for
his own sole qualification. at his own con-
venience and at his own sole expense,
finding the training expenses and sub
scribing toward the purse for which the
old-time professor" competed and wager
ing heavily upon the result. to the mod
ern public performer who requires assist
ance toward his training expenses, en-
trance fees and travelling expenses is an
interesting but not very profitable study,

satisfaction Of beating or attempting to
beat the other man, the trophies or the

little difference between these aims, each
going after the end most useful to him
personally. and, except I'm name. the diff
ference between the present day amateur
and the professional performer is so slight
as to be scarcely discernible. Granted
that there are abuses in professional
sport, these would disappear with open
under strict supervision. while
any depreciation Of the amateurs privi-
lege would be more than compensated by
the Improvement of the sport as a whole,
by the raising of the status OF the pro-
fessional and the abolition OF much sham
amateurism.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The sending OF an official letter to
the clergy of the five boroughs of the city.
in response to a request addressed to the
Clerical Conference of the New York
Federation of Churches. calling upon
these leaders of the religious forces of

be held next Saturday evening at Car

laity fusion meeting. at which the voices
of the churches OF all denominations will
be lifted in no uncertain tones on behalf
OF Mr.. Mitchell and his associates. offer
fitting occasion for an appeal to the
moral consciousness of our fellow citizens.
1t is fortunate, in the present crisis of
the city's history. that recent develop
ments have SO clarified the peril by which
We fin ourselves confronted. Questions
of party. OF candidates, of administrative
policies. of governmental theories, all have
been swept aside, and we find ourselves

issue of Tammany. Shall a mere political
machine. which has a condemnatory rec

PRAISE FOR JUDGE SEAMAN
His Reelection Is Urged Against the
Three Regular Candidates.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the candidacy of Judge Seaman
for reelection several points seem to
have been overlooked. That he has been
a fearless and upright judge, loyal to his
duties, courteous to all alike and show
Ing fear or favor TO no one will be con-
ceded by ALL That he has been honor
ably distinguished in independence ana
in the dignifed conduct of his Office is
scarcely less obvious to the attentive cit-
zen. That he has served with conspicu-
Gus advantage to the public interests and
has been responsible for a marked I'M
provement in the general morale of the
municipal courts are perhaps less widely
known. That he is characterized by an
unusual delicacy of feeling, by a sensitive
highmndedness and by an answering.
devotion to the highest ideals, which is
as rare as 1t is stimulating-these are
perhaps familiar only TO those who have
been privileged to come into closer
personal contact with him. 1t is nothing
less than public misfortune that such
capable, such an efficient and such a
wholly admirable public servant should be
in the slightest danger of losing his posi-
ton. 1t reflects discreditably upon all
three Of the political parties that they have
preferred partisan ends to the public
veal, and have set up candidates of their
own instead of uniting on one who has
been so conspicuously deserving and who
has earned the admiration and high re-
gard OF all with whom he has come in
contact EDWIN r. \ SELIGMAN

MERCURY TABLETS
How Bichloride Poisonings May Be
Prevented.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: a law prohibiting the sale OF the
most widely advertised and talked OF

the number OF deaths readily sought by
this common poison. but increase the
safety and avoid the constant fear OF
trouble by the pharmacist.
At present by the mere signing OF

fication an entire bottle containing enough
poison TO kill hundred people can be
bought for the small sum OF % cents.
