Also it is estimated that all of the
Balkan kingdoms will have to Dor
row an aggregate of more than a
billion dollars, about the amount OF
indebtedness of the United States
at the close of the civil war, to
liquidate their debts and finance
their new chances.
The success of the Bulgarians
who bore the brunt of the struggle
was due to the diligent culture OF
her resources. The Bulgars were
good agriculturists before they
showed themselves to be admirable
soldiers. Now they will have to
show again what they can do in
peace. For some years they will
have all they can do to pay the cost
of victory, as the Japanese have been
doing since 1905.

When there are fifty million people
south of the Danube, all under one
flag, the Balkans will have arrived.
That will occur if peace endures and
the countries are cemented by the
blood and the sacrifices of the really
great war that has been fought.

CONFLICT OF LAWS.

Another clash between the rights
of states and the power of the ma
ton was settled in favor of the sup
eriority OF the federal law by the
United States supreme court in the
Wisconsin Karo syrup case. The
clash arose over the labelling of a
food product Under the federal law
one sort of label was required, and
under the state law another. The
syrup came into Wisconsin properly
labeled under the federal law, and
the Wisconsin authorities strove to
force a relabeling before it should
be sold by the retailer.
1t was one of those twilight
zone" cases between state and fed
eral authority, and the supreme
court settled it in favor of the ma
ton, as has been its habit in nearly
all cases of clash of authority. The
decision held the state law was an
interference with interstate COM
merce set forth again the once ia
nous doctrine of the original pack
age.
To hold otherwise, the court ex-
planned, would be to permit the
states to discredit and burden fed
eral regulation of interstate COM
merce and would destroy rights arts
ing out of the federal statute that
have accrued to both the govern
ment and the shipper.
One of the curious effects OF the
decision is that it bears down heav-
lily on the manufacturer of food
products within any state that has
more drastic food law than that
of the federal government. He must
label his goods for consumption
within the state in accordance with
the state laws, while his competi-
tors may ship in their products from
outside the state labeled as the fed
eral government prescribes. 1t is
only one more instance of the in
consistencies that arise when the
sphere of federal law overlaps that
of state law.
Wisconsin evidently believes that
the state laws regarding foods are
better than the federal laws and
protect the consumers more perfect
ly. If that be the case, the obvi-
Gus remedy is the strengthening of
the federal law by congress to meet
all requirements that should be ex-
acted. There can be no further OBJ
lection then to interference with
state laws by the national govern
ment

LICENSED NEWSPAPER MEN.

A bill requiring newspaper men
to pass an editorial examining board
before they can be allowed to prac-
tice their profession is being push
ed BY Lieutenant Governor O'Hara
of Illinois. The alleged purpose is
to protect reputable men in the bust
ness.
Newspaper men would welcome
anything that elevated the dignity
OF newspaperdom. But an examina-
ton system seems practically I'M
possible.
First, the politician would try to
control such an examining board
They would want Journalists" who
would be good" and stand with
out hitching." Men who had ideas
of their own on politics might lind
il hard to pass the tests.
Assuming that such a board was
kept out of politics and placed in
the hands of really capable news
paper men, one difficulty would be
with a class of people who devote
only part Of their time TO news
paper work. Take our old friends
in the rusty black bombazine gown,
who with infinite toll over the Sit
ting room lamp sends in her week
ly little items from North Jay. She
gives satisfaction to host of boys
who have moved away from the old
hearthstones. Must the dear old
lady pass four years apprentice
ship before she can write items"
for the paper, or be subject to a
fine of $50 to 500 or imprison-
ment?
A man who has the newspaper
sense can do better work in a fort
night than the other kind in years.
No apprenticeship or examining
board can alter this fact.
Probably there are only two ways
to elevate" the newspaper profess
sion. The first is to persuade the
public to stop buying yellow and
taking newspapers.
The second is to persuade edi-
tors and publishers that they hurt
their business when they are care
less in the selection of reporters.
The public judges the character of
the newspaper by the appearance,
the good judgment, the accuracy,

NATIONAL FOREST

mately 5000 acres from the Kaibab

to the total area of the Forest, which
now embraces some 1,072,oO0 acres.
The eliminated lands, which lie
along the western boundary. west of
Kanab Canyon, and north of the

officers to be of little value for for

A RACE QUESTION.

Japan's reply to the answer made
by the United States to her protest
against the alien land law of Califor-
MIA, while courteous and not bellig-
erent, practically demands the impos-

distinction, which is something deep
er than laws. Japan quite properly
refuses to become a party to a suit

THE TURK PRoGRESSIvES.

The assassination of Shefket Pasha
the leading statesman and grand
vizier of Turkey, leaves the Ottoman
empire without a recognized strong
man TO guide its affairs when it
stands most in need of wisdom at
the head of the government.
The struggle in Turkey is between
the Young Turk party, OF which
Shefket was a leader, and the old
abdul Hamid adherents. In other
words. it is a contest between the
progressive element and the reac-
tionaries, to use an illustration from
American politics.
The Young Turk party wanted to
fierce reforms before the country was
ready for them The result has
been anarchy. Unlike the people OF
Japan. the Mohammedans were not
prepared to abandon the traditions OF
centuries willingly. There was no
man in the empire strong enough
to do as Peter the Great did with
Russia, when by edict he changed
Russia from a barbarous monarchy
TO one having the semblance, at
least, OF a civilized European EN-
pire. He compelled his subjects to
change the custom OF wearing the
shirt outside the trousers, as IS the
custom of most Asiatics of today,
and he compelled the shaving of the
long boards of the boyers.
There was resistance, but Peter
was not a man to be denied when
he had set his heart upon anything.
He had seen the civilization of Lon
don and OF Amsterdam, where he
learned how to build ships. On his
return to Russia, he became an ultra
progressive, and made it succeed,
though to do so he had to condemn
his own son to death:
The Turks had no such leader as
Peter or as the late emperor of
Japan, therefore the. empire is in
chaos. But the: Young Turks are
not without hope. One OF the lead
ers says: 80 ...s.... ,-- ...
Cali hope of regenerating and re-
vfving the country is not yet lost.
Our Asiatic possessions are vast and
full OF natural riches; they could
sustain population FIVE, times their
present one. Indeed, if we succeed,
by a sustained effort, in reorganiz-
ing them on a rational basis, if we
succeeded in reviving them and Civ
ing them the glow OF life, we may
hope to regain soon our place among
the nations.

Der Of men. who are now under in

such breaks, all tend to crystalline
the attention of the State to the
absoluta necessity for more rigid
check on these Institutions. The
trend OF thought at the present
time is to mold sentiment or rath-
era demand upon the Legislature to
quit pickering oversdetails, which
prevented the enactment of bank
supervision law in 1912, and get
together and pass a law creating
the position of bank examiner,
backed up by a clear. unequivocal
law and regulations.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars,
it is asserted by those who have
given the subject attention. have
been lost to the people of the State,
for the very reason that there is no
adequate system of supervision.
Experience has shown tnat the
sworn. or so-called sworn. state
ments furnished the auditor of
public accounts. purporting to
give the exact and correct standing
of each bank under state supervi-
sion, periodically during the year,
are not always to be relied on.

who has made close and intellient
study of the situation, declares that
the quarterly statements required
to be made to the state auditor, so
as to inform the public as to the
exact condition, in dollars and
cents, of the bank. is nothing less
than farce. Cashiers will swear
to lies. just like other folks;
shrewd bookkeepers can fabricate
figures and doctor ledgers SO as to
deceive the most inquisitive dIrec-
tors.

affairs shows clearly the imperative

GETS A $4,000 VERDICT
Against !. 6. for Death Of Ruby Nc
EMsn---SeeOnd Largest Verdict
Ever Given in State.

On Thursday afternoon the jury
IN the case OF Mrs. Leila MeEwen
ct al VS.. illinois Central Railroad
Company. brought in verdict in
favor OF plaintiffs for the tidy sum
OF $40, 600. The plaintiffs sued for
damages for the negligent killing
OF a thIrteen-year-old girl at John
ston last summer by light extra
freight trans running over her
while she was standing at a cross
ing awaiting the passing OF another
train. She seems to have been
standing with her back toward the
train that killed her and the engi-
neer seems to have been inattentiye
to his duties in that he was not
looking ahead but was engaged at
the time in giving unnecessary
signals of some kind to the employ
es on the other train. This is the
largest amount ever awarded in a
case OF this kind by jury of this
county, and the second largest IN
the State. J. W. Wallace, tormer-
ly of Brookhaven, received ver-
dict in the Yazoo courts for $780,
600. This $4,000 verdict makes a
total OF $65. 200 against railroad
corporations in two verdicts rem
