1453 until Christian service is again held in St. Sophia and the Greeks are possessors of the soil of their an- cestors. It was Christian jealousy and hate that allowed the Turk to take Constantinople. Christian ac- cord should see to the final and ab- solute elimination of the Turk from all European holdings or influence.
 The Turk has never worked. Even in their servitude the Greeks have transacted the business of the Turk ish empire. They have done the work and amassed the wealth. The Turks have despoiIed them of their earnings and persecuted them for their pains.
 The Greeks have struggled manfully since 1453 to regain their stolen em- pire. No people has fought harder against bigger odds. None has risen more stoutly from each reverse. They are entitled to thei celebration of the hundredth anniversary of their inde- pendence. None was ever more gal lantly achieved.
 The eyes of the Christian world are on the latest struggle of the Greeks and Christian prayers rise for them The most earnest prayer is that Eu- rope will suffer them to enjoy the fruits of victory, which Christianity hopes and believes they will gain if not prevented by Christian powers.

 1T~JORMER Emperor Charles of Aus ~ tria has today probably no harsher
 critic than his fellow exile in Doorn. The heir of the Hapsburgs has committed bIunder. and we have Tal- leyrand's authority for the dictum that a blunder is worse than a crime. Dy- nasties have sometimes survived the crimes of their members, but rarely their blunders By the hurried retreat of the former Emperor from Hungarian ter ritory the divine right" theory has re- ceived a shattering blow
 u is notorious that the German re- actionary parties for some months past have been paving the way for restora- tion of the monarchy. The momentary eclipse of the Hohenzollerns was attrb- uted to passing alteration of the na- tional mind. due to succession of na- tional disasters for which the Kaiser had for the time being been made the scape- goat. After the stage had been carefully prepared by his faithful followers he was again to make his triumphai entry, and "divine right" would again come to it's own. But in such matters any prema- ture action is fatal Once the divine right theory ceases to be intact it can never be patched together again. The worst of 1t Is that it must be capable

1COUSIN. EVERETT

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The cobbler of Koepeneck who made the world laugh in 1906 got on the blind side of the Germans. He played upon their respect for and fear of the mili- tary uniform, and in captains clothes he took command of tae soldiers of Koepenick, assumed Jurisdiction over the burgomaster, and got poss ession of the town funds. unquestioued Decause he had the military front.
 Cousin Everett Harding got on the blind side of Americans. who love a dispenser of patronage. All lie had to do was to open the cellar door and numbers of his fellow countrymen would fall into it. He was the equiv- alent of the kings chamberlain. the short road to the masters ear.
 Our fellow countrymen need only half chance to fall for that and fall hard. They love the honor and the honorarium of public service. The pub lie dollar has the value of 10.
 Cousin" Everett did not find every person credulous and seems to have had suspicion following him, but never theless he had the magic wand. He was almost as good as the cobbler of 'Koepeuick.

ARE VACATIONS sINFULs
From the Omaha Bee.

From the Oman2 Bee. fNl
 This is a poor time of year for Sem ator Shoot to come forth, with the boast that he has never taken vaca- ton. No wonder he is quoted as say ing that his life is very uninteresting. He has never known the pleasure of looking over the highly colored sum mer resort booklets and railroad fold CTS. He knows nothing of sitting in a boat under the glare of a midsummer sun and coming home with his entire face peeling loose and two small fish. There are lot of mountains sprawling around in his home state of Utah, but probably if he climbed one of them the senator would call it work and deny that he was just out for the fun.
 The witness further confesses that he never attends baseball games nor plays golf. that he works 16 hours . day and would rather raise the tariff than attend theatre. His only recrea- ton is sleeping seven hours each night.
 It takes all kinds of men to make a world, and no doubt there is room for more such as this Spartan: given half population of his kind. the other half could rest and play without stint. and still the worlds work would Dc bdone.

Why Birmingham Landed
 1O,OOO-ton Rail Order

@ FIGURING the -10,000-ton order 0 for steel rails for the Manchu- rian railway was pronounced achievement at time when orders of that size are scarce, and domestic and foreign mills alike are compet- ing for every inch of ground. It is the first export order of importance placed in some time, and eastern in- dustrial journals comment on the fact that it was allotted to the Birming- ham mills by the United States ex- port corporation.
 Much interest exists in eastern mill centers in the business being done by Birmingham mills in export and Pa cific coast business. When all the mills were busy and each had all the orders it could care for, the differ ent sections felt snug and content. However, when business is hard to get, all pay attention to the placing of big order and when one locality gets it, the rest ask them selves what peculiar Considerations turned the order in that direction.
 Eastern iron and steel makers are beginning to sense Birmingham's stra- tegic position in the export trade and with regard to the Pacific coast. In connection with the business done out of gulf ports with that on the Pacific they also see the business that is being done and is to be done with the Orient. The same ships which carry rails, plates, pipe, pig iron and hoop steel to the Pacific coast, can also carry goods for thesOrient as mat ter of course.
 | Next to Birmingham's proximity to raw materials, it's situation with ref erence to the gulf ports is it's most decided advantage.

South Is Censured
 for Peonage Cases

7T1HE notorious Williams case in
 H Georgia has loosed a flood of criticism directed against the south. While deplorable conditions brought to light in two Georgia counties should not reflect upon all the south ern states, 1t brings the negro once more into acrimonious discussion.
 If it could be proved that one plant CT has been guilty of murdering Il ne- groes employed by him, that would be bad enough, but disclosures made in Georgia indicate that peonage has been practiced with the tacit consent of officials who should not have tol- erated such conditions, not only on the Williams farms, but on others in that part of the state.
 Peonage is nothing more nor less than slavery. There are reasons for believing that it prevails in other parts of the south. In fact, one state- ment made in behalf of Williams is that if he was guilty of peonage others have done the same thing. That's poor defense, but it throws light on the situation in Georgia.
 For the good name of the south and for the sake of humanity, federal, state and county officials should break up this barbarous practice wherever it~is followed, whether in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or any other southern state. The whole south is interested in the result of the Williams trial. There is an in- sistant demand that justice be done.

Parkman Murder Recalled
 bv Tragedy at Syracuse


 N, COMMENTING on the shooting of N. Professor Wharton of Syracuse university by Professor Beckwith, a member of the faculty, the Pittsburg Dispatch says, "It is only the second occurrence of homicidal nature among college professors in almost a century-72 years, to be exact. In November of 1S49 Professor Webster of the college of chemistry of Har1 yard university, in paroxysm of sud den rage, killed Professor Parkman of the medical school of which he was the founder"
 The Dispatch says further that otherwise there is no similarity be- tween the two cases, as Professor Beckwith's crime was either the act of madman or was premeditated in cold blood because he cherished a grievance against university authori- ties and Dean Wharton in particular, while Professor Webster was over welmed by violent rage in an instant and acted upon basic animal impulse to strike, without having time for re- flection."
 An account of the Parkman mur- der is given in Irving's Book of Fa- nous Criminals" which does not agree with the Dispatch in all particulars. On the contrary, Professor Webster's crime was carefully thought out and was not due to the impulse of a mo- ment. Professor Webster had been living beyond his means for sometime and among others had borrowed money from Dr. Parkman, an eccentric resi- dent of Boston, which he could not repay. While Dr. Parkman was strictly honest in all his dealings, he was the type of man who tried to exact every penny owed him and would never let debtor rest until he was paid. His bounding of Pro- lessor Webster finally led to one of the most shocking crimes ever com mitted by man in such an honorable and influential position.
 On day when he had no classes Professor Webster lured Dr. Parkman to his laboratory with the pretext that he would pay the doctor what he owed him, or at least reach an agreement satisfactory to both men. Instead he killed pr. Parkman, cut up his body and tried to burn it in a small furnace. The suspicious of the janitor were aroused by Professor Webster's strange behavior after the murder and when he was arrested he made complete confession. Had his crime been due to an outburst of rage he would have fared better at his trial. He was promptly convicted and sentenced to death, although pre- vious to the killing of Dr. Parkman he had been highly respected and popular member of the Harvard fac ulty.
