After all, no one can blame Turkey
for doing what it can to prOlOng its ma
tional existence. To surrender Adria-
noplc is to place what will remain of its
Black Sea coast ut the mercy of future
enemies. To surrender the Aegean
islands will be to make an effective
blockade of the Dardeneilcs easy. Never
theless, having lost the game, the stakes
must be paid. No one will be sorry but
Turkey.

Not a piece Of news, but a piece of i'm
pudence on the part Of the paper that
pretends it was news It is a bit Of un-
hlushiDg effrontery, almost-though not
quite-without parallel in the history of
the Sentinel.
What support if any did the Sentinel
give the democratic ticket last spring?
Let us see how the facts stand.
The democratic party had spoken and
had nominated a ticket for city Offices,
headed by Louis CobOlini for mayor.
Also the independents named a ticket
with Mr.. Cole as its nominee for mayor.
Mr.. Kowalski ran for the same of,
flee independently Of the other two
tickets.
Then it was that this loyal Sentinel.
the unabashed, the 'feard- of-nobody Sen
tinel, this expert in sound democracy.
this profound judge of democrats, who
later denounced other democrats for not
supporting the city nominees last April,
announced in its columns that it found
some difficulty in making up its mind
which of the three candidates If would
support. Later it set a dav when il would
announce its decision on tnc question Of
whether it would support the democratic
nominee or support one of the others.
When the day came for the announce
ment, it was compelled TO say That it had
not yet made up its mind, but would let
us all know later. When was the an
nouncement made? The Herald is I'm
able to recall the date, but is willing to
abide by the record whatever it is.

it probably wished to subject the candi-
date to a civil service examination be
fore giving either of them public en-
dOrsement.
And all this time it thought it was a
democrat, and it would now nave us be-
lieve that in it's heart it was always as
savagely loyal to democratic traditions
as when it fought the Wilson club and
accused Morris Sheppard Of plunging
daggers into the heart of a loyal demo
crat, and perpetrated its p%rofane puns
on the name of the Saviour of men.

the best way to execute her criminals.
The law as it now stands leaves it to
the criminal whether he will be shot or
hung. There is a proposition now to al
low the condemned man to kill himself
if he prefers it that way. Those who
are opposed to capital punishment think
he should be sentenced to die of old age.
