THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT.

n an exceedingly scant margin, the Democrats in
ID Maine have succeeded in electng their candidate
for governor and in re-electing their Representa-
tive in Congress that State That they have done
so is due the aid of the Pull Moose Progressives
without whom the Democrats would have fought los

The result in the Second Congress district ought
10 be especially pleasing President Wilson and his
friends. Early in the campaign the Republicans
we're confident they would repair their defeat of
two years ago in that district and send Republican
to Congress To their surprise, the Democratic cand-
date won a reelection by an increased plurality in a
district that formerly looked upon as Republi-
can stronghold. The Presidents friends regard
that result as endorsement Of his policies. Repub-
lcans Of prominence dispute that, however, and
ges that only of his policies had much to do with
enectng the resuthe policy OF preventing our coun-
try from being embroled in any way in the Euro
pean war. Those Republicans find much comfort in
the fact that they have succeeded in holding their
in the three Maine Congressional districts that went
Republican in 1912.
While certain Progressive leaders may feicitate
themselves upon the fact that they accomplished the
of the Republican gubernaorel candidate they
must be staggered by the tremendous slump of the
Progressive vote compared with the vote of two
years ago THAT stump shows that the Progressive or
ganization, strong there two years has disin

would be justified IN asking for

It notorious that although modern
forms OF government are now in use
in Turkey the courts are still Koran
ic and medieval. and cannot be de-
pended upon to do justice to nOn-Ma-
hometans and foreigners. As Mr..
Oscar S. Straus, twice our diplomatic
representative in Constantinople, puts
it, the Christian powers have hesi-
tated to surrender their extraterritor-
ial privileges, not because they want
to keep Turkey in tutelage, but solely
because of lack of reliance or her
judicial system"
The Rev. Dr. Abram w. Halsey, a
trustee Of Roberts College and mem
Der of the Presbyterian Board of For
eign Missions, is very friendly to the
present Turkish government, which.
he says, is progressive and liberal
and Is properly trying to revive the
spirit of nationality. But although
he appreciates the motives Of the
Turkish leaders he recognizes the
peril of an extension of the iJrisdic-
/ ton of the Turkish law courts so as
! to cover all alien residents He de-
scribes the Turkish law as absolute
4 ~ corrupt and administered through
| courts which know of no other infiu-
1 ence than the influence Of money"
1 Furthermore. he adds, Its hardship
upon Christians is strengthened by
! the fact that it is based on the Koran
and is bound up closely with Mahom-
etan ecclesiastics"
Turkeys normal course would have
been to negotiate with the other pow
ers. as Japan did, and by showing
that her institutions had been mod
ernized to secure their consent to the
annulment of extra-territorial cOnces-
sions after ten years or some other
| reasonable period of probation. In
that way foreigners in Turkey would
have had a chance to adapt themselves
to new conditions, those who didn't
want to stay being able to wind up
their affairs. The instant and arbi-
trary abolition of a system in vogue
for hundreds of years is therefore an
aifront to those nations having extra
territorial treaties with Turkey which
in ordinary times would never be toll
Grated.
This war is Turkeys opportunity

pean powers may feel too much TIED
up to try to hold Turkey to her prom
