Biennial Sessions.

The idea of biennial sessions of the
general assembly and four year terms
of office appeals to The Yoriville En-
quirer
But The Yorliville Enquirer does not
agree to the desirability of making an
officer ineligible to reelection after
four or six years of service.
That even n good officer can be kept
in office too long is admitted; but the
advisability of an arbitrary limit to
the term of service is doubtful.
The sometimes claim that the in
cumbent is the only person capable OF
filling the place is absurd. When 1t
comes to the point where there Is only
one man capable of filling an office
properly, that office might very well
be abolished. However, it does some
times happens that there is no material
in sight more available than the in
cumbent, and under such circumstan-
ces it is very we'll to leave the people
free to keep what they have.
But experience seems to have prov
ed that once-a-year meetings OF the
general assembly are too frequent, and
that the best interest of the state
would be subserved by less frequent
meetings.
For one thing it is just as easy to
arrange for the conduct of the SOW
ernment for two years as it is for one
year, and for another thing each other
year meetings of the general assembly
would seem to facilitate more mature
consideration of such emergencies as
might arise in the meantime.

Campaian Expenses.

Amongst those who are familiar with
the facts. and who have given consid-
cration to the matter, there is a very
common feeling that there is room for
improvement in the existing method OF
raising funds for the conduct of the
Democratic primary campaigns.
The primary campaign just closed
cost the Democratic party OF the coun-
ty close to $1,000, and that sum was
hardly adequate for reasonable COM
pcnsation for all the service performed
The only reason that the cost Of the
campaign was limited to around Sl,3OU
WAS that that was ali the money avail
able: but even at that there was a
great deal Of gratuitous service that
was as much entitled to fair cOmpen-
sation as anything else that was COM
pcnSated.
The money goes to pay for election
booths. per diem of managers OF cleo
ton, stationery, postage, printing, ad-
vcrtising, etc. and then besides there Is
Il whole lot OF gratis Work by the exc
cutivc committeeman.
In the old days most of the work that
is now paid Cor was done gratis. The
managers of election received no pay
the executive committeeman received
no pay. and quite Il lot of other services
were rendered without cost.
All that seemed mighty generous or
the part of those who were working
for nothing; but it was not right.
The folks who perform services over
and above tho services performed by
other people arc entitled to compensa
ton. of course.
But another thing that don't look
right about it is that the candidates

The erecent sale for s75O,OOo of a lot

The erecent sale for s750,OOO Of a lot
of ships that cost the United States a
billion dollars, only goes to emphasize
the terrible waste of war. There is no
good ground on which to criticise the
building of those ships, notwithstand-
ing more or less thoughtful CRITICISM
At the rate the Germans were destroy
ing ships during the war, there SEEM
cd to be no limit to the number OF
ships America might need. But with
the ending of the war so long in ad-
vance of the most sanguine expecta-
tions of the best informed official
Judgment, the ships became unneces-
sary. They are not needed even Tor
commercial purposes and consequent
ly the disposition Of the ships involves
no loss. The loss was incurred with
the necessity of building the ships in
the first place.

RELIEF FOR SUFFERERS

There is a probability that those
farmers living several miles west Oh
Yorkville whose crops were padlg
damaged by hailstorm several weeks
ago may try to obtain exemption from
taxes. Farmers of the devastated area
who were IN Yorkville yesterday SAID
that there was talk to that erect
among some Of their neighbors and
friends. They take the position that
the damage that they suffered by han
was fully as great as the damage SUI
fercd by Bethel township farmers and
others in q hailstOrm several years
ago and that since tax exemption Tor
the year was granted these others
there Is an equal reason why thcy
should enjoy the same privilege.
1t is said that there are n number
of farmers in the stricken section VINO
will make we'll nigh no cotton and
corn this fall. One farmer who has
been making fifty or sixty bales OF
cotton each year for a number OF years
past said that he estimated he might
get enough cotton TO pay for the lerti-
liZer that he used.
There arc some who do not think II
will prove profitable to try TO gather
the little crop that is left to them.
While no definite steps have been
taken looking to exemption from taxes
it would not be surprising if the sut-
fcring farmers do attempt to obtain
such relief.

should be required to foot all the bills.
There may be some reason, though not
much in collecting the expenses from
the successful candidates; but what
about the candidates who are unsuc-
cessful? There is certainly no reason
why they should be asked to foot any
additional bills.
Seems to us that there should be
some better way Of raising the money
for a primary campaign.
It is unquestionably as much the bus
mess Of the voter as it is the candidate,
and why should not the voter submit TO
a small assessment?
The expense of this last campaign
came very nearly averaging % cents
for each ballot cast. Would the voter
stand for an assessment like that? II
not, why not?
But perhaps a better way would De
to provide the whole expense by appro-
priation. The election is conducted
throughout under statutory stipula-
tions. then why not provide the ex-
penses by statute?
1t Is certainly not right that the cam
didates should bear all these expenses.

The name "sick man" of Europe was
first applied to the Turk by Car
Nicholas, Of Russia in the middle OF
the last century. Russia having had
designs on Constantinople since the
days of Peter the Great, made a con-
fidential proposal to the British am
bassador at his court that the two
powers administer the estate Of the
sick man" and divide the spoils pc
tween them. 1t did not suit Great Britain
that Russia should get possession OF
any part cf Turkey and the proposition
was refused. The Crimean war IN
which Great Britain, France, Turkey
and some of the then independent Bal
kan people fought Russia, followed a
few years afterward. There is but little
question of the fact that it is Russia
that. is now urging Turkey on against
the powers with promises of assistance
and that Russia is still looking for
ward to the control Of Constantinople.

theory that the pair might have been
slain elsewhere and carried to the
place where they were found, carefully
laid out, under tree. No pistol or
knife was found near the scene. An

Near Eastern Question.

There is a good deal Of talk OF the
immincencc of another war over what
is commonly understood as the near
eastern question, and although 1t is
very well to recognize that war is
within the easy range of possibility, 1t
is probable that adjustment will be ef-
fectcd without serious consequences.
As a matter of fact there is moth
| ing new in the situation. The natural
gateway between Asia and Europe, or
the east and west, for considerably
more than two thousands years, Con-
stantinople is strategically the most
| important city of the world.
Here was established the first great
world centre of Christianity and here
for n thousand years has existed the
great world centre of Mohammedan-
ism. But as important as Constanti-
noplc is and has been as religious
centre, this has been of small conse-
ouence compared with its military and
commercial Importance.
and Bosphorus from the Mediterranean
into the Black sea means political and
commercial control Of Asia Minor and
Southern Russia as well as good
portion of central Asia, and hence the
keen interest of England, France, Rus
sia and Italy in the situation.
The recent treaty of Sevrcs sought
to intcrnationalize Constantinoplc and
the passage between the Mcditerran-
can and Black seas under British
domination and to deprive the Turks
of all dominion over any European
land. Practically the sole idea in view
was TO insure against the future clos
| ing of the Dardanellcs and Bosphorus
against European nations.
The war between Turkey and Greece
grew out of the fact that neither was
satisfied with their treatment under
the treaty of Sevres. Each claimed
territory that the treaty had awarded
to The other, and both revolving from
their constituted authorities, the Greeks
under Constantine and the Turks under
Mustapha Kamal Pasha undertook to
fight it out. with the results that have
been eliminating within the past few
days.
The Greeks have been all but COM
pletcly crushed and the victorious
Turks with the full support of the
/ Russians seem to be Of the belief that
all they have to do is to push ahead
and take back all that had been taken
away from them.
It is reasonably certain that Eng
land, France and Italy will not stand
for Constantnoplc under other than
their own control and neither will the
Balkan people but recently released
from Turkish thralldom be willing to
go back under such calling yoke.
Dominant Russian influences in the
control OF the Dardanellcs would be
Iintollcrablc to England which in times
past has shed rivers of blood in pre-
venting just such a development and
that the Turks should he allowed 10
make good their threats of maintain
ing their old empire without stirring
up the whole of Europ" on one side
or the other.

swords and rifles, giving up their guns
and at tho same time 5000 locomotives

torical information for the benefit OF
those who do not seem to be up on the
subject. The Islamic religion was
founded by the sword, and at the end
of the strictly religious campaigning
the flag Of the prophet Mohamet re-
mained in the custody Of the Turkish
empire as the greatest Mohammedan
state. 1t is a tradition of the falth
that whenever the faith is endangered
all true Mohammedans must rally to
the flag with their all. The promise is
that any man who loses his life in de-
fense of the flag is Immediately trans
lated 20 paradise. 1t is believed that II
war develops over the dispute as TO
the possession of CoHstantinople the
flag of the prophet will be unfurled

800, 100000 people, to come to the

While here yesterday Governor Har-

and Mr.. Maulden, his then opponent
came to blows over a question Of
vcracity, and each was required to put
up $40 for their appearance. OF course
neither appeared and the money was
turned into the treasury. The governor
has never been reconciled to the idea
that the fine should have been exacted
of him; but assuming that it has help
ed to build the roads and the new
school house, as well as pave the
streets, he comedies that it has been
well spent. But seriously there are
those who think that the collection Of
those fines were hardly warranted un-
der all the circumstances and about
the best way to make it right is for
the town to return the money with
proper apology.
