TURKEY AND THE RECEIVERS.

Chicago Recc.d-HeTald: There are
interesting, if not strange signs Of a
change in the attitude of the great
powers towards the Balkan allies. We
have seen no denial Of the remarkable
report that Austria served notice on
Servia that she must not send addi-
tional trops to Scutari, since that
stronghold could not in any case be
kept by Montenegro. The British pre-
nier has said publicly that the future
Of Albania and. it's boundaries will be
decided by the powers and that they
have reached IN agreement covering
the essential points Of that question.
And now, to emphasize the present
intention Of the powers, the latest
peace terms Of the Balkan allies,
which they submitted - result Of
Turkeys renewed overtures, are re-
jected or coolly. ignored ~ inadmis.
dble. The allies are reminded that
o to the Aegean islands and Albania
tAey have nothing to Say. Turkey

sessions in the hands Of Europe. They
ars informed that an indemnity Is 70
lilly out Of tho question and that they
oust moderate their demands tor ter
sieosy around Constantinople. Finally;
aAe powers quietly assume that they

made by them on Whist they may deem
reasonable terms.
Two months ago it aee:ned impoe
able that Russia should sanction suct
IN attitude and work, with .Austris
end Germany in a spirit hostile to the
Balkan slavs. But Europe ds tired Of
the war, apprehensive Of financial
troubles and impatient with the Bal
kan governments. Turkey, in making
the powers her receivers, has been
baking on this impatience; she has
been hoD;Hg for d'ssentlols and com.
plications rather than counting on her
own military resources. Wild the pow.
ers now venture to dictate openly to
the allies, taking advantage Of their
exhausted condition. Is Russia pre-.
pared to apply moral coercion to those
who look to her for protection! That
the allies must submit to the concert
Of Europe, if that concert is an actual
sty, hardly needs eaying.

DID THE RIGHT THING.

~AO Ian x1ASx44 1x2x0@s
Some Of the newspapers OF the state
and particularly those located In towns
where there are state institutions. are
Showing symptoms Of peevishness be-
cause Gov. Hanna, after looking over
the situation carefully, saw at to veto
appropriation bills passed by the last
legislature and amounting to a som Of
excess Of $3oo,ooo ~.
In his veto message, Gov. Hanna
went into the matter thoroughly, show
ing that the appropriations as they
came to him were far and away in ex.
cess Of the states revenues, and that
unless he wished to plunge the state
head over heels in debt, no course was
left him except to use the pruning
knife. And accordingly he used it
good and plenty.
And we are glad he did, even though
the knife cut Devils Lake, along with
many other cities. Men elected to the
legislature are altogether too prone TO
make efforts to secure appropriations
for the localities from which they are
elected, regardless Of whether or not
such appropriation is absolutely neces.
sary or whether or not it will benefit
the state at large.
The people as a whole are too apt
to judge mans usefulness in the
legislature by the pieces Of "pork"
he can hook out Of the barrel, rather
than his intention and efforts to do.

These are the days OF the young

when young man who had the tenn
Gritty to shy his castor into the politi.

20 wait until he had grown beard
and the beard has turned white with
the years.
But this has all been changed and

This is said without any intention Of
,iisparaging older men. Wisdom, If It
comes at all, must come with years.
nut action. energy, enterprise, are all
the peculiar prerogatives and posses.
sions Of youth.
And in electing a city commiss'oa on,
Devils Lake citizens should take these
things into consideration. Whoever
takes over the positions Of city com.
,missioners are certain to find hard
tasks awaiting them. Each individual
commissioner should be imbued with
vigor, energy and above all patriotism.
He should be willing and ready and
able to devote all his time to the pub
lie good without hope of adequate re.
ward, now or later on. He should not
be so engrossed in business cares as 20
feel unable to give the business Of the
city the attention it deserves and
which it is certain to demand.
He should be far-sighted enough to
! see that Devils Lake is right now al
the parting Of the ways-a metropoli
tan city at the end Of one road, and
10 miserable, dead, country village q
the end Of the other-and he should b<
patriotic enough to be willing to sac
rifiee his personal and private bust
ness to the end that Devils Lake MAY
advance.
The size Of his bank account should
not be given any consideration. Many
men who have devoted their lives Il
gainful occupations, and who hav,
growa rich; have never lifted one I'm
ger to help the city in which they liv.
nor to help, ftheir fellow citizen.
Rsther let 10 have mon who are vii

with initiative, men who, while ivins
in the political present, are ..;yet
blessed with imagination sufficient Il
see what hard work, intelligent work
will do for them and the city il the
future.
Alexander the Great died at thirty

Napoleon had whipped all Europe, moi

The Harrisons OF Charles city.

The HarrisOns OF Charles City.
Every now and then something very
nice happens, which makes everybody
glad, and just such a thing was the
unveiling of two sundials in old
Charles City County on Friday, May
o. 1918.
Upon very hot day in August 1912,
an enthusiastic youth from the State
OF New York came TO the Virginia His
tc.ical Society He carried no visible
banner Inscribed Excelsior, but the
banner waved in his soul, and he went
forth on a sacred quest This youth
from the City Of New York had come
TO Virginia to visit the birthp,aces of
the Virginia Presidents Evidently he
imagined that there We're nimble steam
cars, and convenient trolleys to take
him to these historic shrlnes Alas.
This youth was of the metal of which
heroes are made. He was not to be
detected from his intention by lack of
conveyance He went down the James
River on The Pocahontas and walked
under the August san to Greenway
and to Berkeley. where John Tyler
born. and walked back to the wharf
and returned to Richmond on the
Pocahontas He again came into the
Virginia Historical Society, rather
travel stained. but still undismayed.
and told his story He went, via the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. to Al
bemarlc and trudged up 10 Monticello
and down to Shadwcll. where Thomas
Jefferson was born. Then he made n
cross-cut to Orange and went to both
of the places where it is said Zachary
Taylor was born. and returned TO
Richmond. lie again came TO the His
torical Society, more travel staincd and
much impressed with the power of the
August sun in Virginia, but still un-
dismayed.
Again he Jared forth, this time down
the Rappahannock. Again he landed
and walked to the birthplace Of James
Madison, went farther down stream
and landed and walked to Monrovia
the birthplace OF James Monroe, and to
Wakefield, the birthplace OF George
Washington Having completed his
circuit. the young New Yorker returned
to Richmond and again reported to the
Virginia Historical Society. He was
decidedly travel sta ined and very
weary. but in his eye was n banner
thus inscribed: Excelsior"

differentiated these sacred spots. and
with the inspiration Of his attainment
he begged that Virginia would mark
them.
The person to whom this young man
made his condolences was impressed
and somewhat chagrined that II very
young fellow from New York should
have TO show Virginia what was fit
for her 10 do. This young fellow from
New York not only had the exqui site
pleasure OF worshiping at the shrines
of Presidents, but he made such an
Impression upon the person who show
ed him the way" To the shrines that
the matter was laid before the Colonial
Danes OF America at the October
ing received the suggestion from a
stranger determined at once to mark
the birthplaces OF the Virginia Presi-
dents with handsome sundials. The
birthplace Of George Washington was
marked by a handsome shaft by the
United states government about nf-
teen years ago. The birthplace of
Zachary Taylor was marked by the
~ y. IL. Two places III Orange County
claim this distinction. One is marked,
and the DANES would not gainsay its
accuracy. MIR. Smith, the owner of
Shadwc!l. gave the Danes permission
To put It sundial there, hut alas. Mrs
Martin w Li;tlcton persuaded him TO
put the matter in her hands and he
rctracted his consent, as the Danes
took longer To answer his letter than
he thought necessary. But Shadwell
will be marked, and that is all right.
So the Danes only will have the
privilege of marking Madson's birth
place at Port Conway, Monroes birth
place at Monrovia. in Westmoreland.
Tyler's birthplace az Greenway, Har-
rison's birthplace at Berkeley, and
Wilson'S birthplace at stanton.
y strange coincidence is the fact that
Monroe and Washington were born in
Wcstmoreland. and Tyler and Harri-
son We're born In Charles City. The
dials. which will mark the birthDlaces
of these distinguished men, are very
beautiful, made OF etched brass by the
