Greece and the Fighting Powers.

The Greek puzzle is no nearer a
solution. The king has dissolved the
chamber of deputies and called for
an election in December. The cen
trail powers have made representa-
tions at Athens regarding the land
ing Of allied troops at Saloniki, and
the Greek government has replied
that inasmuch as Saloniki is an open
port its use by the troops of Eng
land and France is not a violation of
Greek neutrality. but indicates that
if any unneutral act occurs Greece
will act promptly. This evasion of
the issue is taken to indicate that
King Constantine is not assured as
to the attitude of his people and is
seeking to maintain the best possible
relations with the allied powers,
while not granting them any other
than the negative aid of the use of
Saioniki, in order to maintain equally
relationship of friendliness with
Germany and Austria. OF course,
such policy of division is not pos
sible of indefinite continuation. Italy
is dissatisfied with the situation, es-
pecially since the decision of the min

condition that America was at the
close of the civil war. She will need
to be built up from the products OF
other countries. To prohibit the raw
products of Europe to America under
past republican theory would be to
deny to America the raw material out
| of which to make up the manufac-
tured article to sell to Europe, from
| which we could enrich ourselves to
greatest prosperity of commerce. To
allow the manufactured article OF Eu-
rope to come without limit to this
country as democratic theory, the
goods to be sold at such price as Eu-
rope could take in order to obtain
money to build up her wasted places
would be to overcome our own manu-.
factures and slay the possibility OF
establishing in America plants to take
the place of those which heretofore
in Europe served the uses OF America
and the world"
Again the audience must have
gasped. But it did not lose control
of itself, and the distinguished Wis
itor received most respectful atten-
ton to the end of his discourse, ac-
cording to the requirements of true
hospitality.
In considering this remarkable ut
terance, two things should be borne
in mind about the author: (D He will
take part in the coming tariff debate
in the Senate, and (e) there is a boom
for him for Vice President, condi-
toned on a sort of warning that il
Mr.. Marshall is not good" in his rul-
ings on cloture it may be thought
necessary to find a new running-mate
for Mr.. Wilson next year.
How much this speech had to do
with the dropping of the democratic
majority in Kentucky from thirty
thousand to three hundred is ques-
ton as yet undecided. The response
bilities have not as yet been aecu-
rately determined. Defeat of prohibi-
ton in the primary must bear a
share. Democratic misgovernment of
local affairs played part. But sure
ly this assault on "a tariff for reve-
nue. only" within the bailiwick of the
Star-eyed Goddess of Reform must ac-
count in some measure for the cleo
ton result.
Mr.. Watterson-busy with other
things probably-has not yet found

sued on his own threshold; but
when he does, as surely he will, the
Illinois senator should hear some
thing worth his while-"hear some

Democracy and the Tarif.

Among the visiting statesmen par
ticipating in the recent Kentucky
campaign was Senator Lewis of ILL.,
nois. He confined himself to national
issues, and, probably because Mr.
Fairbanks of Indiana was in the state
performing like service for the re-
prblicaus, made speciality of the
tariff.
At Mount Sterling, thriving town
only few hours distant by fast train
from Louisville. where resides Henry
Watterson, Mr.. Lewis at a demo.
cratic meeting said this:
Il assert that no intelligent man
would urge that the adoption of eithe,
OF the past tariff systems-that of The
unqualified high prohibition of an,

protective tariff of the republicans
or that other of no tariff beyond that
for the purpose of raising revenue
OF the demoerats-could be appropri.
ately applied as conserving the uses
OF the future and as fitting to the
future welfare Of America"
Is it difficult to imagine the effee,
of such sentiments on an audience
reared from infancy In the doctrine
Of a tariff for revenue only, and as.
sured seven days in the week that al
other kinds of tariff were "robberie:

Alexandra County's Progress.

The assessor of Alexandria county,
Va, has reported a land valuation
of $7,742,o3o, which is nearly twice
as much as reported five years ago.
This increase is a most gratifying
showing, and is particularly pleasing
to the people of this city. A number
of years ago Alexandria county was
in the grip of those who were utiliz-
ing it for the promotion of illegal en-
terprises, largely at the expense of
this community. All sorts of gambling
schemes were conducted there, and
low dives hourished, with the result
that the county was socially retro
grade, and was at the same time a
serious moral menace to the District.
Thanks to the cooperation Of the
state authorities these conditions
were cured, and from the day of the
victory over the unwholesome ele-
ments that had taken advantage of
the county's weakness it began to i'm
prove. Affording exceptional advan-
tages for suburban development, it
has progressed rapidly during the
past decade. The showing just made
of land value advance to nearly
seven and three-quarter millions is
the best possible proof OF the eradi-
cation of the lawlessness which for
merly discouraged migration into the
county of home seekers. 1t may be
questioned whether any similar ter
ritory in this vicinity has made so
marked an advance in percentage, and
the people of Alexandria county arc
to be warmly congratulated upon
their prosperity and progress.

istry at Rome to take hand in the
Balkan campaign. 1t is reported that
a powerful feet of allied warships is
lying under steam at Malta ready for
a descent upon the Greek coast in
the event of any hostile action. With
an agreement between Greece and
Bulgaria relative to the conditions
growing out of the 1atter's partici-
patton against Serbia and with Ger
man officers of high rank making
special mission to Athens, where they
are received with almost royal hon
ors, the prediction of Constantine
for the central powers and their new
ally is obvious. But Constantine is
not in a position recklessly to defy
the entente powers, with long sea-
coast exposed to attack and with
large and steadily increasing number
of French and English soldiers at
Saloniki or within a few hours of
Greek soil. Furthermore, although
Venizelos has for the time been sup
pressed by the expedient Of dissolu-
ton, he remains a powerful factor
for the evoking of a reaction against
the pro-German inclinations of the
crown. Unless the central powers
progress more rapidly in the opening
of through line to Constantinople
and the establishment of strong
frontier against the allied army Con-
stantine will soon be compelled to de-
eide between a continued neutrality
that is pro-German in spirit, but pro-
ally in fact and positive pro-ally
position.

Booker T. Washington.

In the life of no other man of
American birth has the truth that
the republic is opportunity been
quite so signally illustrated as in that
OF Booker T. Washington. Many men
born in lowliest conditions have risen
to great usefulness and distinction
but they were of the governing race,
and in their hardest struggles were
encouraged and assisted by that fact.
Here was man born slave, and,
after freedom, hampered for some
years by the turbulence and conten-
tions affecting his race resulting from
the civil war. Out of sort of chaos
he came, and as citizen wrote his
name among the most helpful of. his
generation He put both races and
all classes under obligations to him
for services which have received
recognition throughout both this
country and Europe. And all this he
had accomplished when but little past
middle life.
1t is OF importance to note not only
DR.. Washington's unusual ability, but
his great sanity of Judgment, so to
say. At time when too many of
the young men of his race were will
ing to be the tools of selfish poll
ticians, and in that way contributors
to the embarrassments of both races,
he made choice of activities bound to
result, and that did result, in wide
spread good to both. He saw the
black mans need, and set himself the
task of helping to supply it. How
we'll he succeeded is attested by the
institution he established, and the
extraordinary work it has accom-
plished.
Sane also was DR.. Washington in
selecting his field of operation. He
saw that the black man as native
of the south and familiar with its in
dustries would find as free man his
best opportunities there, and could
hope to improve them only through
cooperation with the white man. He
must make himself capable. and be-
come industrious and iaw-abiding !;
and in doing that he would appeal to
the sympathy and secure the assist
ance of his powerful white neighbor.
The calculation was we'll made.
Tuskegee is the fruit of black mans
ambition strengthened and furthered
by the recognition of white men,
north and south. Without that recog-
milton DR.. Washington could have
done nothing. With it he improved
labor throughout the south, and Of
fered to men of his race in other
parts of the country an example
which many have followed. Better
cabins in the loneliest country places,
a quickened interest in schools, saw
ings in banks, and business enter
prises, all testify to the influence of
this man on the people of his race of
his day and generation.
Its founder is gone, but Tuskegee
survives, a growing instrument for
good; and those who control its for
tunes have great responsibility in
choosing successor to the former
slave who by force of native ability
and character became an educator, an
administrator, writer and speaker
of nationwide influence and interna-
tional reputation
