THE TURKS DISADVANTAGE

The Turkish representatives at Lausanne
have stubbornly insisted on retaining full
rights of sovereignty for Turkey, but they
have not proved that Turkey is entitled to
the same consideration accorded nations
where adequate protection is given to racial
minorities and the citizens of other coun-
tries. The Turkish government has yet to
show by its acts that it is sufficiently en-
lightened to rank with the powers represent
ed at Lausanne That the Turks are at a
disadvantage is not the fault of the allies,
but of them Turks themselves, who have
never revealed any administrative ability
and have persistently confused their religion
with their government. That is what makes
the question of capitulations all-important.
The Turks say country like America, for
instance would not tolerate foreign judges
in its courts, which is true enough; but they
ignore the fact that a Moslem would be as
certain to receive justice in our courts as a
member of any other race or creed. That is
not the case in Turkey, and that is why the
allied powers, and the United States, are de-
manding special judicial consideration for
foreigners.

WHILE CONGRESS HESITATES

Congress, as usual, finds itself we'll along
in its session with the major objects of its
attention practically untouched. 'The de-
partmental, deficiency and budget appro-
priatons have not been made, although there
has apparently been plenty of time for their
consideration. Progress towards voting on
the ship subsidy measure has not been made,
although the subject is one of pressing inn
portance and procrastination means public
loss. Attention has not peen given the
Presidents recommendation of a special APP
preparation of thirty million dollars to mod
ernize the armament of our principal war
ships. Yet this program needs prompt at
tention if the maintenance expense of the
navy is to be made worth while. The farm
relief measures are being actively discussed
in committee and perhaps will soon be sub
jected to floor debate, but the delays are in
conformity with the pace Congress has been
keeping for two years or more. There is
needed some sort of majority leadership that
will get things done before the proposed leg
isation becomes obsolete or the nation suf-
fers irreparable injury.

Poor Boys Who Succeeded
By FREDERICK HoUK LAW
Rou..eau, a cre.t PhiIo.opher

In 1928 a 16-year-old boy, an engraver's
apprentice, after a days ramble, found the
city gates closed. He had had harsh mas
ter who thought him fool; his present mas
ter was still harsher; his father had been in
Jail and had fled from town; his mother had
died. The boy took fate into his own hands
and ran away from the city that locked him
out.
From that day until he died at sixty-six,
Jean Jacques Rousseau was more or less
wanderer He was footman for rich won-
an; teacher of music; private secretary; stu
dent; writer; COPPER of music, and vaga-
bond.
He wrote essays on civilization; two
novels and book called confessions" so
intimate that it is AMIDST unbelievable. If
all he says is true he must have been af-
flicted with partial insanity.
In spite of this, Rousseau profoundly in
fluenced the world. He saw oppression; and
in his book, 1.-THE Social Contract he said
that government depends upon the consent
of the governed. That book helped to bring
about the French revolution and to establish
popular government everywhere.
His novel, Emile" taught that education
should develop manhood as well as give in
formation, and that natural methods, found
ed on an understanding of children, on love
and sympathy and the spirit of play, are
the best. That book is one Of the founda-
lions of modern education. He showed, too,
that education is long course of develop
ment whose object is to enable man to
live at the very height of his ability.
That this strange, half-insanse wanderer
should have written books that revolutionzed
government and education is indeed most
remarkable Rousseau's life is an example
of what good can be done for the world,
even by the humble, the unfortunate and
the eccentric.

TO PREVENT CAR SHORTAGE

If the railroads will carry out the policy
of SO routing freight cars that they will be
returned to the owning roads as soon as
possible, instead of going in other directions,
much of the car shortage will be obviated
and there will be a more equal distribution
of cars. Rules to bring back to their home
stations cars that have taken out fertilizer
are being formulated by the American Rail-
way Association in anticipation of the early
spring movement. If these rules are observ-
ed the south will not again suffer from the
car shortages that have resulted from cars
of southern railroads being used by eastern
and northern roads for their own purposes
after being received by them from southern
points, Birmingham sends out many more
loaded cars than it receives in return, and it
is particularly necessary, to assure supply
here, that southern cars be returned. AT
ter all it is merely matter of being fair
with one another and the American Railway
Association will be doing nothing more than
justice in establishing rules for the return
of cars to home roads.

OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL

Yesterdays papers recorded more
than the usual number of cases IN
which men who as boys had started
at the very foot of the ladder in
one or another great industry had
risen by industry and intelligence
helped little by kindly fortune
perhaps-long before old age came
upon them to positions of great re-
sponsibilities and big salaries. A
job on the killing floor of slaugh-
ter house was the good-enough start
for him who was to head the great
est of meat packing combinations,
and in celebrated department
store is an ex-offlce boy who has
reached the top of the ladder. Such
cases never have beer RARE, Of
course, but they have at present
something of new significance be-
cause of the frequent complaint that
the old-time opportunities to get no
in the world no longer exist. In all
probability they are as numerous
as ever, or more numerous. and the
qualities that won reward in the
past continue to do so. 1t should
not be forgotten, however, that Of

THE MOST EFFICIENT NAVY

The Washington arms conference was
hailed as great forward step toward re-
ducing the burdens imposed on world powers
by competitive naval programs, but the race
for naval supremacy still goes on and will
probably continue until civilization reaches
the point where it is no longer thought nee
essary for every nation to be more or less
of an armed camp. There is this difference,
however, that in the opinion of experts, the
competition in the future will be battle of
wits, rather than race to see which power
can build the most ships The United States
is the only nation that is strictly conforming
to the terms of the naval limitation treaty.
The other powers, notably Great Britain,
have already made notifications in the de-
sign of major craft which will more thar
compensate for any limitation of tonnage.
Definite restrictions have been placed on the
size of ships, but there is no limitation on
submarines, airplanes and auxiliary craft
and none on the adoption of improvements
which will greatly increase the offensive and
defensive power of first-line ships.
1t is stated that the British, as they are
permitted to do by the naval treaty, are pre-
will give Great Britain naval supremacy until
battleship requirements begin. Under the
schedules the United States cannot lay the
keels for any new battleships until 1881.
As a result, the two British superdread-
noughts will be superior to any ships afloat
until 1884, when new American battleships
can be commissioned The obvious purpose
of the British admiralty is to retain naval
supremacy for the British fleet. Great
Britain is unwilling to forego ner position
as mistress of the seas. That has long been
her traditional policy and she is reluctant
to change it. In the present condition of
European affairs, with England drifting
toward isolation from Europe, the demand
that the British fleet be kept to the highest
point of efficiency will be all the stronger.
Navies are essentially protective. AS Lloyd
George says, no war can be won by a navy,
but great armies are grabbing machines
The huge American battleships, Of the
class now abandoned, would have been APP
proximately 5000 tons more than the M
t.icated design of the new British ships, but
"a conformity with the treaty, our heaviest
ships will be about 5000 tons under the
projected craft of Great Britain. Unlike
the American government, Great Britain
was quick to take advantage of the lessons
learned during the World war. In the fu-
ture, merely increasing the size of ships.
and their offensive and defensive equip
ment, will not insure superiority. That
will depend on the skill and ingenuity Of de-
signers. The idea will be to give the great
est fighting efficiency with the minimum
weight. Speed, armor, protection from tor
pedo attacks and bombing planes, provis-
ions for carrying aircraft and size will all
have to be considered. The experts who
come nearest to guessing the needs of the
next war will produce the most efficient
navy.

THE LEGISLATURE MEETS

The state legislature meets today in reg
ular session. 1t has devolving upon it
heavy responsibility. The state is at pc
Rod in its development when it can take full
advantage of its opportunities, or can neg
lect them and see other states pass it in
progress The previous legislature has left
such a splendid record of constructive acts
that the present one can scarcely miss the
broad highway of further advance. Nor is
there any public apprehension that the pres
ent legislature will fail in its duty, but rather
that it's vision will be even clearer than ever
There are the port development, the ques-
tons of public health, the highways, the pub
lie institutions the cause Of education IN
public schools, colleges and normal schools,
the conservation of resources and the nee
essary provision for their development.

The Peoples Forum
Views of a Sheriff-EIect

70 the Editor of The Age Herald.
A day or two since the daily
newspapers of the state on front
pages, In flaring type, stated that
Gov. Thomas E. Kilbv has denounc-
ed the action of the sheriffs-elect of
Alabama in advocating a repeal of
the present law regulating the feed
ing of state prisoners and favorIng
the re-enactment of the odd law
which governed the feeding of pris-
oners for great many years, and
that seemed to give satisfaction I'M
til the outgoing governor of Ala
bama decided ITO do something
Why Governor Kilby should mix up
in this affair is more than | can un-
derstand. as his law on the subject
does not seem to have created any
enthusiasm on the part of the peo-
pie of the state, nor was any sheriff
of the state of Alabama elected on
a platform which embraced this
pet measure of Governor Kilby's.
So far as | know the prisoners in
the state confined in jails were
about as well looked after under the
old law as under the law which
Governor Kilby saws must not be
repealed. With food higher than it
has been in many years, except dur
ing the recent war 7 cannot ina
CINE where Governor Kilby get his
idea that the sheriffs are preparing
to make huge profits" In the
past, under the old law, no sheriff
in the state of Alabama grew rich
feeding prisoners, and the truth is,
most of them lost money, but the
old law was not so complicated and
did not involve so much bookkeep-
ing as the present law, and as the
t.serage sheriff, under the presem
law, has to hire some one to make
out his feed account there is M
wonder that the sheriffs want to get
rid of this burden. !.
