 Against Invaders

SHANGHAI, May l0.-The Jap anese navy has launched an exped- ition against the port of Annoy. chief harbor metropolis of the southern part of the coastal province of Juk- fen.
 Foreign dispatches said a Japan csc naval force had landed after heavy bombardments by 12 warships standing offShore and firing in re- lays with support from over head by a fleet of bombing planes.
 The invaders came to grips at once with the Chinese garrison at Annoy. Japanese planes dropped leaflets on Culangu Island, Annoy foreign settlement, urging foreign residents and a foreign vessel to leave the port, and announced the Japanese intention to occupy the city.
 It is estimated by foreign consuls, that there are 36 Americans in the besieged port
 Meanwhile, inland, three Japanese columns advanced steadily north ward toward the long sought ob- jective of Lungnai Railway. Five new Japanese divisions were report ed en route from Japan to reinforce the stalmated Nippon drive in South Shantung Province

Institute, w. Va, September
2,-West Virginia State college
will open its forty-seventh year
on Monday, September 10th.
The registrars Office announces
that student interest is annually
high at this timejas measured
by requests for admission to the
college. Students IRON the var
lous geographical sections of the
United States are daily asking
reservations. Advance reserva-
tions at this tt m are higher
than at any previous year for
a similar period. Curriculum
choices of students already ac-
copied indicate a wholesome con
centration of degree choices
over the arts and science curri-
cula and the specializing and
vocational curricula which the
college offers. Last year w. Va.
State college students came from
twenty-sx states and the Dist.
of Columbia. From all indica-
lions at the present time it APP
pears that the 1889 student
body will eclipse the cosmopolit-
an growth of the 1878 enroll
ment.

A Tough Problem

The minor courts of the state are go- ino to present the usual difficult proolem to the new Republican officials and Gen eral Assembly that take office ln January The problem will be perhaps further com nlicsted too. because Mayor Jasper MIC. few of Bridgeport expressed himself rather thoroughly on the subject during the recent campaign. He doesnt nke i,1dgeship deals and said so in as many words And according to the records GOV ernor-elect Raymond E. Baldwin ooeSnG ' like the lower courts to be made pollC- ical football.
 That might be enough to convince any one that something would be done at tne forthcoming Legislative session apouC judicial reforms. But if past experiences are any criterion we won't jump to con clusions. We've seen the best oI lnteH- lions founder on the shoals ot minor court iudgeships. They are leglslatlve bugaboo, if ever there was one. Ana un- less the Republicans of 1859 are changeo completely from Republicans ot past years it will be hard job to change the pro cedure of naming these judges.
 Mayor McLevy is in favor of havlng one higher court judge assume the re- sponsibility for naming or proposing the appointees to the minor courts. We don't know if Governor-elect Baldwin likes thlS plan or some of the various other ones that have been advanced in the past few years. There have been many ideas on the subject with judicial reform in gen. eral assuming the idea of district courts. The idea failed to jell in the Legislature and we're still beating around the bush.
 We'd like to see good solution to the problem, but don't think there Will be one so long as there is a chance every two years of new judge being named to replace the incumbent. Some sort or permanency must be insured under the present system.

Father of the Turks

It seems to many, from this distance, that the late Kemal Ataturk, of all the post-bellum dictators, did the best iob He took broken-down little country that had once been a great power, but had been steadily declining for $50 years, and set it on it's feet. He found Turkey me- dieval and made it modern. Long foot ball for petty rivals to kick around, it is now one of the most respected of the small powers.
 The unwise personal habits of this ruler need not detract from his accomplish ments in statecraft and national reform. In his public activities, although often arbitrary, he showed rare wisdom and strength. He separated church and state, ended polygan1y, freed and modernized Turkish women, established the family as social unit, reformed the government, moderniZed Turkish writing and taught his people to read. He cultivated friendly relations with neighboring countries and refused to meddle in their affairs. He left political testament to guide his suc- cessor. No other country today is so much the creation of one man.
 He did this as a dictator, but in his case the term should be somewhat quali- fled. He was personally democratic, and posed or strutted. Outside of office hours he mingled with the people on equal terms And he could take advice and criticism. He had an able assistant for that very purpose. "He is my con- science" Ataturk used to say. "He is always alert He finds out what is wrong, and criticises me-" Fortunate is the ruler who has such a friend-and listens to him.
