THE TERRIBLE TURK TODAY.

We talk about revising the Treaty
with Turkey and getting the Turkish
question settled. Who is Turkey?
What is the Turkish question: In our
mind il is only vision of the old ne
farious Turk. still intriguing with
Germany. still playing off France
against England. still looking frighten-
ed from the Bosporus TO see if the
Russians are coming hotbed, a

was the old Turkey whom we thought

Turkey without friends. an eternal
nuisance, but too rotten To be d

stantinople. and that Turkey is dead.

SENATE MADNESS.

The Granger Senators helped TO de-
feat Mr. Lodges resolution for a four
weeks rest from herrulean labors in
the public welfare because nothing had
been done to relieve tho farmers of
what they said was the most
fistressful situation American argi-
culture had ever known. Some
other senators voted with them
because nothing had been done to- re-
lleve the rest Of the industrial coun-
try. suffering as never before from
crushing burden of taxation. Then
an Of the Senators except four voted
to take up the Soldiers Bonus Bin
