TURKEYS APOLOGY FOR SMYRNA
IFrom the New York sun1

tFrom the New York SunI
Coming from Turkish sources the
explanation that explosive shells were
hred at the Tennessee's launch to
warn her away from mine field may
pc accepted with contemptuous po-
1teness. OF course it is utterly in
credible, but it is perhaps the only
shape in which the Porte could put its
dlsavowal, seeing that under existing
circumstances it is doubtless unable
10 punish properly the officers and
men OF the SMYRNA batteries who are
really responsible.
The excuse may be good enough for
our government to accept if accom-
panied by apologies and assurances
that the outrage will not be repeated
at Smyrna or anywhere else. Nobody
beneVes that the government at Con
stantinople had anything to do with
the act. The Sultan or Enver Pasha or
whoever is running Turkish affairs has
trouble enough on his hands without
hunting for fresh quarrels.

CHEERFUL SENTIMENT

tFrom the Philadelphia Press.I
That all America is anxious to. make
the best of adverse circumstances and
to look forward to better things is
clearly indicated by the cheerful senti-
ment very generally expressed in busi-
ness circles. Every favorable develop
ment is hailed with delight and efforts
are made to forget the unwelcome con-
ditions of the recent past.

AN EVENING THOUGHT

There are many kinds of love, as
many kinds of light,
And every kind of love makes a glory
in the night,
There is love that stirs the heart.
and love that gives it rest,
But the love that leads life upward
is the noblest and best.

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY

~ . u result OIL the DaCk-lo-IiS'
"A party movement during the last
4 = campaign the several mush-
room political organizations
have about passed out. But the regu-
lar Republican party will not lose
sight of the important fact that its
future usefulness and growth as con-
servator of the best interests of the
people will depend largely upon the at
titude of the leaders toward the prin-
ciples which are inherent and endur-
ing. In the endorsement of weak or
unfit candidates there is bound to be
that nominations are made through
open primaries it is all the more i'm
portant that party leaders and organ
izations should favor those candidates
who are most likely to meet the ap-
proval of the people.
There can be no doubt that the
changes in the electoral system will
catapult into the limelight scores and
hundreds of ambitious individuals
who have no qualification whatever
for public Office, but who will make
their campaigns upon personal issues
in the hope that in the multiplicity of
aspirants they may get place on the
official ballot under some party ap-
pellatioa-
The duty of the party leader or
leaders is now more clear than it was
when mere caucus or conference pre-
aoaod 49, an.o,aoa,,,an+ of a tinIyat
The great body of Republican voters
want to stand with the party colors,
but the recent victory must not be
made an excuse for any arbitrary or
Indifferent attitude toward the wishes
of the people. Party success will hinge
hereafter upon the kind of nominees
presented for the consideration of the
voters, and unfit nominees will do
more to damage party integrity and
efficiency than all other causes COM
bined.
OF course, there is great dissatis-
faction with the defects In our cleo
ton machinery, but Notwithstanding
these deficiencies IN the electoral sys-
tenn it has been demonstrated that the
people can usually express their pref
erence at the polls. However, such
amendments of the ballot law as are
shown to be absolutely necessary
should be prepared with care aad
passed by the Legislature.
So far as the Telegraph is concerned
it has never had much faith in the
nonpartisan features of the recent bal
lot changes. Nonpartisanship sounds
very well and is probably well in
tended, but in actual operation it fails
to accomplish the purpose of those
who were so anxious to provide for
this feature of the election machinery.
The fact of the inordinate expense in
volved in a nonpartisan campaign foT
the judiciary, for instance, is sufficient
to justify a return to the old order.
We can see no improvement in the
nonpartisan law for the election of
judges and there is much of real men,
ace in it's operation.
What seems to be necessary is re-
versal of the situation and a return
to simple, straightforward methods
which will make the elections cleaner
and more satisfactory to the people
while relieving them of burdensome
and unnecessary restrictions in the ex-
ercise of the voting privilege.
