The Treaty of London.

BY the signature of the treaty of
peace at London the map of Europe is
considerably changed. Turkey is not al
together excluded from the continent
but is driven to small holding i'm
mediately environing Constantinople
and becomes virtually tenant at suf-
ferance under the joint suZerainty OF the
powers. This condition is not specifically
expressed in the terms Of the treaty. but
it is nevertheless accepted as the result
Of the war of the allies. That ultimate
ly the Moslem rule will be swept en-
tirely from Europe is foreshadowed by
the events of the past few months. and
by the terms of the peace treaty.
Thus closes a remarkable chapter Of
modern history. For many years 1t had
been believed that Turkey would never
be ousted from it's European holdings
until by some rare combination of in
terests the major powers interviewed
when driven by an overwhelming public
sentiment among the Christian nations,
aroused by continued atrocities south
of the Balkans. That the minor states
adjacent to Turkey should take the
initiative and accomplish what the pow
ers through jealousy had long been
neglecting to do was not conceived as
possible. Yet 1T is the impossible that
has happened. A remarkably effective

"Speculators in Politics.

In some observations about the charge
that the lobby is bringing pressure u
bear on the Senate in the matter or the
tariff bill. Mr.. Penrose Is OF the opinion
that some gold bricks are noatihg
around''-not a felicitous expression. put
intelligible. Evidently the PennsyNahla
senator does not take lobbyists at their
own advertisement, or other persons at
their appraisement.
And bearing upon the same point is
s,s,ement In a current magazine in an
article by a distinguished man about
famous matter. Former Senator Edmunds
of Vermont writes about the Hayes-lh-
den contest as il was brought De1ore
Congress. and mentions the food of talk
and rumor. much of it unconfirmed, that
flowed along. He then relates his personal
experience as senator in dlHerent
case:
There are spectators in politics as
we'll as in stocks, and they OFTEN act
without having principal Denino theiii'
or a principle within them. remember
an instance occurring in the senate "nen
a bill of much financial Importance was
under consideration. l learned afterward
that a lobbyist whom l did not know
had contracted my vote in FAVOR OF the
hill with one interest, and my vote
against the same bill in favor of the OPP
posing interest. He had sold me TO botn
sides. and whichever side lost he Wouio
get his lobbyist reward.
When it is considered how far above all
money temptation Mr. .Edmunds was. and
is, and how eminent his services as a
statesman had made him, the nerve OF
that lobbyist and the credulity of his
EMPLOYERS stand out as great.
Man does not live by bread alone. but
evidently there are lobbyists who live by
nerve alone. And they are assisted in
their bold plays by the credulity OF the
public. Congress has often been de-
scribed as ION the make" charge

alliance was organised between four
states. no one Of which alone could have
defeated the Turkish forces. but which
together proved more than q match for
the supposedly Irresistible Moslem
armies. Each had it's part assigned. and
went to the performance Of its task with
valor born Of long unsatisfied hatred
Of the Turk
The Balkan war was the fruit of
generations of Turkish cruelties. prac-
ticed upon the Bulgarians. Servians,
Montenegrins and Greeks by the sultan's
officers and subjects. Ancient wrongs
inspired the four armies. and the
memory OF slain ancestors gave nerves
of steel to the men marching under. the
four banners as they went about their
respective assignments. The precision
with which the alliance effected it's pur-
pose and carried through it's military
program was a revelation to Europe.
Not once was there a token Of discord
as long as the Turks remained uncon-
quered. Unfortunately, at the close.
when the Moslem had been beaten to
the wall, and while the terms of the
peace treaty were in preparation, trouble
arose between the erstwhile companions
in arms, and the triumph was marred
by strife.

Silence and Smiles.

A member Of the House, with his mind
made up on the Philippine question, called
on the President and urged immediate
independence for the islands. In answer
to a reporters inquiry as to the Presi-
dents reception OF him, the member said
HE listened good and hard. He greeted
me when j went in. and said goodbye
when I left. That Is as far as he ex-
pressed himself

first time q scene in court thus described
it: "A solemn guy was settin' on the

Mr. Wilson's silence and smile are very
valuable to a man in his place, and prob
ably he will make them go far. SO many
of his callers want favors. So many
others want merely to leave thought
with him. So few have the simple pur-
pose to pay their respects and cheer him
on his way.
A President cannot afford to talk much
except to his cabinet advisers and the few
men in Congress or out he calls to his
side for information. His words are too
important for general distribution. If he
talked much he might talk rashly. He
might express himself when unprepared.
and create difficulties for himself and his
callers For an utterance by President
is sure Of wide circulation.
Simply as a listener a President is Sc
verely taxed. So many subjects are
brought to his attention in a few hours
Of a single day. This caller tells him
about a local affair. That caller dis
cusses national affair. A third caller is
primed about foreign affairs. To each
and every one a President must give at
least a few moments, and try to remem-
Der what is said Sitting grain from SO
much chaff is no easy thing even for a
trained man.
1t is an old observation that Presi-
dent is obliged to waste much valuable
time and consume a great deal OF pa
thence on unimportant matters; that he
should deny himself to many callers and
save himself for weighty questions But
drawing a line would be difficult. Long
established customs are not easily
changed. An inaccessible President would
soon become an unpopular President, and
nopularity is the breath Of a politician s
nostrils.
Listening well is a sort Of gift; and II
Mr. Wilson possesses 1t he is In place
where it can be capitalized at the very
ton figure. He has a fortune in that

Government Clerks and Credit.

In considering the request recently
preferred by the Retail Merchants As
sociation of this city to the President
that a way may be found to compel
government clerks to pay their just
debts regard must be had for the fact
that in Washington Uncle Sam is the
chief employer. and that it Is necessary
to look to him. as to the employers of
others, for means of collecting obliga-
tons incurred by purchasers. For those
clerks Of the government. or others. who
are able to pay their bills and refuse
or neglect to pay them. there should be
no consideration. If they persist in re-
manning in the category of bill dodgers
and in buying when they have no means
or no established credit. they should
be put under official pressure to bring
them to book.
But it must not be thought that be-
cause there are dead beats" in the
government service. and in any other
line of employment. and in all cities,
these are representative of their classes.
or are in any material percentage. They
are in fact the rare exceptions. The
great majority Of the clerks are honest
and we'll intentioned in the matter of
meeting their obligations. They main
with difficulty as they feel the stress of
emergencies. but eventually they pay,
and the losses of the local merchants
are relatively low.
1t is undeniable that the govern
ment clerks are underpaid in the sense
that their rate of pay has remained sta
tionary for several decades while the pay
scales in practically all other lines OF
EMPLOYMENT have increased. The ma
jority Of these people have no chance to
rise above 16O0 a year. and for that
money they give conscientious. faithful
service. and to gain that point they must
as a rule remain for at least ten years In
the government employ. While they are
getting to this point their expenses are
increasing as their families grow and
their obligations develop. and especially
as the cost of living rises. SO that when
they reach the maximum they are rela-
lively no better off than they were at the
beginning of the process. and, indeed, in
some cases they are in severer straits.
This is not Giving beyond their means.
and probably in only very small per-
centase of cases do the government en-
p!oyes exceed their incomes. Their mar
gin is small. and accidents. illness and
other emergencies wipe IL out Aioii eiiiA>
to time, so that they are occasionally
compelled to postpone payments for nee
essaries of life. to live on credit for a
while.
1t would be unfortunate il as result
of this application to the President the
impression went abroad that the gov
eminent clerks of Washington are bad
pay" Already merchants are testifyiRg
to the contrary. and doubtless when
this matter has been thoroughly sifted
the fact will appear that the bill dodgers.
who deserve sharp reproof from high
quarters and dismissal if they fail to
meet their obligations when they are
able to do so. are by no means repre-
sentative of the government service.

The Alley Problem and Congress

luton of the alley problem the other aft
ernoon to press for early action by Con-
gress on this subject Is probably wise.
Nothing material will be gained by fur
Their delay in the interest of education

ly familiar with the fact that the hous-
ing problem in Washington Is difficult
that there are slums which constitute a
meNace to the public health and morals
and that only by constructive as we'll as
destructive measures can these cOndi-
tons be cured. A bill is now before the
Senate providing for the appointment
Of an unpaid commission of citizens to

sress plan for system of housing I'M
der government auspices. There is al
ready before Congress a housing COM
mission report which gives abundant in
formation on the subject, and 1t Is to be
doubted whether there is now need of
a similar body going over the same
ground. Early action is urgently needed.
These conditions grow worse steadily
and delay adds to the difficulty OF their
cure.
note OF warning was sounded by
former Commissioner mcfarland at the
meeting the other day to the effect that
care must be exercised in the drafting
of legislation on the alley subject to pre-
vent attractions Of the organic act and
