Levantine Problems Remain Grave

kemal Pasha wins, England with
draws from her isolated position. the
solidarity of the entente is preserved
and immediate war is averted in the
near east. Such is the net of the stu
alton in, the Levant after nearly fort
night of anxiety following the disas
trous defeat of the Greek army in Asia
Minor.
But the settlement cannot be con-
sidered as final or positive insurance
against war. 1t is a compromise
which may bring gravely troublesome
questions to issue in the near future.
Indeed. the agreement just reached is
but the first move, and others are
necessary even to carry it into effect
Greece is yet to be dealt with, and
Greece is in a difficult mood. The
political life of the government at
Athens demands at least a show OF re-
sistance in Thrace. The ministry must
die fighting. or it will die disgraced
and from disgrace may come Eeni
zelist reaction destroying the mon
archy.
Remains also the sultan's govern
nlent, the only officially known govern
ment of Turkey. Dealings in these
recent negotiations have been directly
between the allied powers and kemal
who is, after all. but the head of what
the porte regards as a rump govern
ment. In this crisis the sultan has not
been considered. Abdication may fol

figurehead: has been such. indeed. ever
since the Young Turks" movement
but he is the titular head Of church
and state, the direct representative OF
the prophet. He cannot be wholly
ignored without causing difficulties.
Remains also Russia, intent upon
creeping into the international coun.
cils through the opening afforded by
the negotiations with Kemal. who
still may make the inclusion Of the
soviet government at the conference
the condition Of his acceptance Of the
provisional terms.

possess again not only the territory

Turkish minds the most valuable pos,

Diplomacy has mastered the diff
culties in the near east for the pres

Of the Greeks. restraint Of the Turks,
exclusion of the bolshevists from the
council table, these may offer problems
even more serious than those that
have been solved by compromise and
concession. The Levant will continue
to be the cause of the deepest anxiety

Herrin and the Law.

The special grand Jury called to in.
vestigate the Herrin mine massacre
has earned, and will receive, the praise
and approval Of the Iaw-abiding public
everywhere. 1t has concluded its Ia
bors. The result shows that it played
no favorites. Two hundred and four.
teen indictments were found. Lax Of
ficials were censured, as was the coal
company, which, as the jurys report
declares. "either was woefully ignorant
Of the danger. or blindly determined to
risk strife and conflict If profit could
be nade.'
Interest in the Herrin atrocity will
not relax, but will follow the laws
course to the end. Every consideration
Of justice and good government de.
nands the punishment Of the guilty.
The men-if men they may be called
who conceived and executed the
bloody work done at that Illinois coal
mine should be made to pay the laws
extreme penalty.
In the past half century, and par.
ticularly in the past quarter century,
many lynchings have stained the good
name Of America. We ourselves have
stood aghast at the hideous perform
ances, and the outside world, willing
and anxious to think well of us, has
marveled.
But this Herrin performance. in
some particulars, heads the list, and
on that account has been widely ad-
vertised. Let US hope that the coming
chapters Of the story may be as widely
read, and show America, when
aroused, at her best in the defense of
her civilization.

No Light Vote This Year.

Mrs. Maude Wood Park, president
o. the National League Of Woman
Voters, appeals for full vote in No
vember. In statement just issued
she says that "men and women who
will not vote are doing all they can to
destroy the democracy. for no country
in which elections are decided by the
vote Of the minority, no country with
a great body of voters too lazy OF
mind to take part in an election, is
anything but a despotism, the rule Of
the Indifferent many by the selfish
few"
True. to the letter. and the state

New York and 1924,

Democratic factionism in New York
is fierce to degree. The Smith people
will not hear to Hearst for governor,
nor the Hearst people to Smith.
And SO the questions: If Mr.. Hearst
overrides the Smith people at Syra-
cuse and secures the nomination, will
the Smith people support him for elec-
ton?
If Gov. Smith overrides the Hearst
people and secures the nomination,
will the Hearst people support him?
If both fail, and a compromise man
becomes necessary. will it be possible
for such a candidate to wage a sue
cessful campaign in the present state
Of democratic feeling in the state?
All talk about developing in New
York this year democratic candidate
for President in 1924 seems to have
ceased. Neither Gov. Smith nor Mr..
Hearst figures now in presidential
speculation, and compromise man in
the governors chair at Albany, placed
there grudgingly by the Smith people
and the Hearst people. acting together
under compulsion, would not answer
for conjuring purposes at the. demo
cratic national convention.

Efficiency on the Farm.

The United States has been a
country of abundant natural re-

trammeled by tradition. For years
the roar and hustle of Industrial life

Gradually. however. as the natural
resources became more circumscribed
the feeling grew that all this roar
and hustle was attended by much
carelessnesS and waste. Then it was
that efficiency in industrial processes
and products came to be considered.
Farming because of its vaster ex-

How to Make Raspberry Jan
