into the great European war. Tur-
key, of course, would fight on the
side Of Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary. Germany has been Turkeys
chief friend and hacker in recent
years Berlin has supported Con-
stantinople diplomatically, has sent
officers TO Turkey to train the Tur-
kish troops, and has invested heavily
IN railroads and other enterprises in
Asia Miner

military parties have long dreamed
Of an expansion of Teutonic power

has talked Of the "Drang mach Osten"
as a means Of counter balancing
Russian and British expansion in
Asia. Austria-Hungary had her
heart set on pushing down to the
Aegean sea, and the annexation Of
Bosnia and Herzegovina was long
stride toward that goal. Berlin and
Vienna sympathizcd with Turkey in
the war between Turkey and the
states of the Balkan League. But in

SPIRIT OF THE

MR. MILLEWs CANpmACY.

From the Sunday Star.
Energy. straightfOrwardness and
youthful activity, coupled with intel
ligence and business acumen, are es-
sentials that spell success in politics
as well as in other pursuits of life.
Secretary of State Thomas w. Miller,
who, il is indicated, will be nominated
for Representative in Congress at the
Republican State Convention at Dover
next Wednesday, combines all of
these qualities, yet his candidacy
seems to have perturbed some people
Mr.. Miller has placed The affairs of
the Office of Secretary of State on a
business-like basis, and he has made
friends almost without number by
his uniform courtesy and close atten-
tion to the affairs of his department
Yale graduate. he is equipped
Intellectually to represent this State
IT, the House of Representatives
Having served for three years as
secretary to Congressman Heald, he
has had the practical experience that
is necessary in looking after the in
terests of a commonwealth. A man
who makes friends instead Of enc
mics. who accOmplishes results with
cut any brass band display" is just
the man il seems TO us, who would,
il nominated, make a strong run for
the important office. The only thing
that it seems possible to urge against
him will be that she is too young
but il will be pretty difficult, we
imagine. to make youthfulness a bar
rier to preferment in the case of Mr..
Miller for IL must he admitted that
nc has accomplishment that many
others of more mature years do not
possess. If the Republican State
Convention does nominate Mr. Miller
il seems to us that that party would
be justified in ba}iaying that It will
have a candidate against whom little
car be urged that is worth consider

WILSON AND A SECOND TERN.

THE Democratic platform adopted, at Baltimore
tanned the following:
"We favor a single Presidential term, and to that
end urge the adoption Of an amendment to the
sttution making the President Of the United States
ineligible for reelection, and pledge the candidate
Of this convention to this principle"
In view of that platform declaration, the silence Of
President Wilson and the inaction Of the Democratic
Congress the question that is running under the sur
face in Washington today is, "ls Woodrow Wilson a
candidate for the Presidential nomination two years
hence?'
To suggest he may not be a candidate is lese
majestic at the White Horse; to hint he may be is
regarded high treason the office Of the Secretary
Of State. so what's the answer7
OF course, the Baltimore platform indicated that Mr..
Wilson would not stand for recollection, but so many
Democratic platform pledges have been broken that
little thing like platform pledge doesn't make any
difference TO Democrats any more
Meanwhile no one should lose sight of the fact tina,

TRLALs OF WORKING MoMEN.

(From the Chicago Tribune)
Complaint is being made that in all
our recent agitation fcI the intelli-
gent handling Of the problem of un-
employment woman was completely
lost sight Of AS a matter Of fact, it
is stated, woman suffers from unen-
ployment to a not inconsiderable TX
tent. Many of the trades open to her
are seasonal. In time o. general de-
preston women get no more consid-
Grafton from employers than men.
While there are, however, a hun
dred and one places where the un-
employed man can spend the day, and
even night: where he can find shelter
from cola and rain, where he can
even get food free. the number OF
places open to the unemployed
woman is very small She cannot
spend the day in a saloon She can
not sleep i'm a hallway She does not
enjoy the mans privilege Of pan
handling. She cannot beg in the
street the price of cup Of coffee.
Why does not the woman who is
in such a plight turn to housewOrk
is often asked To begin with, there
is no homework for all such unem-
ployed women Then. again, not all
such women are fit FOR housework.
You cannot make cook out of a
] glovemaker or a bindery girl on

Seventy-five years ago today the

ed States was opened in Lexington,

house was the cradle of this educa.
tional system IN those days 1t was
thought that q school ito teach teach.
'ers how to teach" was a needless ex-
penditure of time and money. I'm.
able to secure state aid, the pioneers
accepted money offered by Edmund
Dwight, who dater became %conspecu-
ously identified with tn new educa-
tional movement. The first class,
consisting Of five girls, had the Rev.
Cyrus PIERCE Of Nantucket as its
teacher. At the end Of the first year
the school, known as the Lexington
Academy, had twenty-five students
all girls. 1t had demonstrated its
worth SO thoroughly that the legisla-
ture voted by a large majority to ap-
propriate sufficient funds to establish
1t as a permanent adjunct to the edu-
cational system.
