Turkeys Dilemma.
From the Indianapolis News.

N.G E& - NE -
When the Turks entered the war on the
side OF Germany It was supposed that they
not only say an opportunity to strengthen
and the Balkans, but also to place the
Austrians and Germans under lasting obli-
cations and thus postpone indefinitely a
nations to sweep the continent clear Of all
but Christian peoples. Late rumors that
turkey had sent ENJOYS to Switzerland
with the enemies of Germany have opened
again the question as to whether the
Turks are really indulging in some far
SIGHTED diplomacy that will eventually
make them q power to be reckoned with
IN the future OF Europe. 1t Is presumed
that the young Turks have seen that

favor on the proposition for larger
navy than on that for larger army.
And yet we could increase the army
four-fold without the slightest dan
ger to any public interest. Our SOL
diers remain citizens. A man does
not lose his pride of citizenship when
he puts on a soldiers uniform. Civil
institutions stand in no peril from
him. Rather is he the better, the
stouter, citizen by reason of the OBJ
legations he takes as soldier. More
directly than ever is it his duty, then,
to consider and help preserve free
government. That is what he is armed
to do.
But whatever the reason for and
however deeply grounded this feel
ing about the army, there is no such
uneasiness respecting the navy. That
arm of the national defense excites
no feeling but that of pride and ad-
miration. The able seaman is very
popular fellow both afoat and ashore.
Now is the time, therefore, to null
tiply his numbers and give him the
very best tools to work with. A navy
equal to the best is no more than
we need and should willingly sup
port.

The Postal Force.

Washington's city post Office has
been the objective of great drive
during the past week, and has stood
the test remarkably we'll. At one
time it seemed as though the great
invasion of Christmas mail was
too much for the forces behind the
postal intrenchments, but they stood
to their guns and handled everything.
The volume OF mail that has poured
through this Office during these past
few Gays has been breaker of rec
ords, and it is to the high credit of
Postmaster Chance and his capable
men that they have virtually cleaned
up everything without delay, and
have thereby kept faith with the pub
lie. The postmaster's admonitlons to
mail early had their effect, and much
Of the Christmas matter was disposed
of before the final rush came. In
this hour of general giadness it is in
order to offer thanks to the mail han
dlers, all along the line, who have
worked far beyond hours and with
out tagging to serve the people at
this time when the ordinary mail
facilities are taxed to the limit.

Raising the Dust Next Year.

Speaking of campaign funds next
year. And many are doing so. The
topic is one of the many outgrowths
of the Gary dinner. Money to burn.
Money very much in politics. Money
talks. Money has not lost its voice
because of the publicity laws. Money
in the hands of those competent to
use it works all the time.
1t is plain to all that money in
terests are very much in the picture.
Recent additions to the antitrust
laws have not pleased business.
Neither has the Underwood tariff
law. Neither have the Presidents
recommendations about additional
taxation. Neither will the new taxes
in whatever sum or manner they may
be laid.
Then if the war should be brought
to close some time next spring. sum-
mer, or early autumn, capital will be
more anxious and nervous than now.
New adjustments of every sort will
be forced upon US. With all Europe
reshaping policies, particularly of a
financial and economic character, we
shall have work of the same kind to
do.

A PHILOSOPHER at Yuletide.

He was village philosopher, pleas
ant to all, and beloved of all. To
the conventional inquiry, What do
you know today?" he invariably
made this smiling, if ungrammatical,
reply: Il don't know nothin', and l
got no keers."
Former President Taft is our lead
ing national philosopher, pleasant to
all, and beloved of all. Surely our
politics shows no better loser. After
a long service in Office, including a
term in the White House, he retired,
after a smashing though undeserved
defeat, and has since addressed him
self to matters other than political.
Newspaper reporters, however, love
a shining mark, and whenever a new
topic, or new phase of an old topic,
in politics presents itself they seek
Mr.. Taft for an expression of opin-
ion.
Just now there is new phase to
an old topic. What is the meaning of
the Gary dinner as respects Mr..
Roosevelt? Does it forecast his re-
turn to the republican party and his
nomination for the presidency? Mr..
Taft does not know, and, being out
of politics, he has no cares.
This is the right time of the year
for man so circumstanced and dis
posed to take his ease and put all
controversies away. The Christmas
spirit is abroad. Why not indulge in
it to the limit? Why not let the
dead past play the undertaken to its
dead? At any rate, such is Mr.. Taft's
attitude.
Questioned further, Mr.. Taft dis
claimed any desire on his own part
to return to the White House, and
added, with amiable and forgivable
exaggeratlon, that he would not run
for President again "if nominated
unanimously"
Mr.. Taft's nomination would, as
would Mr.. Roosevelts, revive all the
rancor of 1912. Old bitternesses and
revillngs would be revived, and fac
tlonlsm again rule where union must
prevail if the fight is to be won.
But the two men are not on a par
as respects the republican leadership
IN other matters. Mr.. Taft's candl-
dacy would not offend the tradition
against a third term. Nor has he
ever been boiter, or denounced the
party to which he owes all the hon
ors of his career.
To the pniiosopher, then, the fair
and square dealer, the loyal friend,
the partisan without tear ana without
reproacn, merry Christmas. and a

Christmas, War and Peace.

Once more the Prince of Peace is
honored by the Christians OF all
lands, while war RACES over an I'M
mense area of Europe. Once more
hymns of praise are sung for Him
who came upon earth to bring men
to a closer state of brotherhood and
forbearance and mutual helptulness,
while millions are striving with all
the ingenuity of modern science to
destroy life. A year ago it was the
hope of all that another Christmas
would dawn upon a world to which
peace had been restored, peace not
merely patched UP for the nonce, to
serve some temporary purpose. but
lasting peace, founded upon sub
stantial agreement and upon good
faith. But that hope has been un-
availing. The war continues, more
horrible than ever through its wider
extension, involving more nations,
spreading almost daily into new ter
ritories. No man now can foretell
the result or the duration.
But the principles which are em-
bodied in the life of Him in whose
name this day is observed are un-
dying. The outbreaks of human pas
sion and prejudice and greed and bru-
tality cannot destroy them. The
world goes on advancing in righteous
ness, Notwithstanding the wars and
the devastations caused. by mankind:
1t was better for His life, and it will
continue to grow better as the truths
He taught prevail. 1t is the work of
the missioners of Christ on earth to
strive the harder for these lapses into
the elemental ways of anti-civiliza-
ton.
just as year ago the prayer of
Christendom went up that the COM
ing twelvemonth would bring peace,
so today, on this glorious day of re-
joiclng, when the people of America
are profoundly thanking Providence
that they are permitted to remain at
peace with the world, the prayer
rises once more that surely within
the year to come the war will end,
and that Christmas of 1915 will dawn
upon world in harmony with the
spirit of Christ, with an assurance of
benefit from the sacrItlces that war
has demanded.
