The spirit of 177a la abroad in Turkey. A nation, aroused by the desire for liberty, is in arms around the walla of Constantinople. It required a century and a quarter for the ideas of Hampden. Vane and Cromwell to blossom and bear fruit in their new home in the American continent, so it has taken another equal period of time for those precious truths to find development to full action in the races which control the Bosporus and the Aegean Sea. As the reactionaries, Charles II and James II, tried vainly to destroy the popular ideas of liberty, while swearIns allegiance to them, and produced the Eevolution of 1689, which swept tha Stuarts from the throne, so Abdul Hamld and his counselors, false to their national pledge, and only true to their own selfish desire for power ana plunder, are fated to destruction of all they sought to possess and maintain. Revolutions never go backward. That in Turkey Is no exception to the rule. It may furnish the spark that will kindle into sweeping names a spirit of republicanism that will cover ill Southern, Central and Eastern Eurone. While fimberora' thoughts are busy with schemes of territorial aggrandise ment, their subjects' tnougnts are up nn hanr Af axlstine - conditions, ret nrmatlnn of nolitlcal and social condi tions, destruction of the old orders and Inauguration of the new. If their lerions are massed for foreign conquest, aa was Russia's but lately upon Chiua and Japan, they meet a world or puD11c opinion that had no force three centuries ago, but is ' dominant and paramount In the world of today,. They meet opposition, ' resistance, nav. rebellion or revolution at home, from classes of population that three centuries ago . were voiceless victims to feudal and Imperial power, but to day are Implacable anS sturdy oppon ents of kingly or imperial tyranny. Not an Emperor, King or Potentate in Europe can carry his subjects now to foreign war without opposition or me fiercest character in his own ; dominions. Even the Kaiser, following a failure tn battle or In important di ninmicr. risks , his throne, not from foreign foe, but through the pent-up dissatisfaction of the masses of his people. : ".''- -.--- Kinn are the pawns today, not the nations.

Gordon-The Big I. The same selfish egotism which led Gordon to claim that everything done in this city since he has commenced operations with his newspaper and the declarations which he has made doting the campaign and whlen he will continue to make, constitutes one of the best reasons why he should not be nominated. A careful analysis of hi speech, and his statements shows that the pronoun I occurs at least once in every six to eight words on an average. Apparently, this is not a terrible indictment for a man who is running for office, but at least, it hints that everything revolves about him it is not the question "what is best for the city" but what the town ought to give him.

We had hoped that Gordon's ideals in the newspaper business as an editor were so high (as he has led us to believe) that he was content to fight for what he thought right without thought of reward. Most newspapers all over the country are doing day after day, what Gordon says entitles him to the office they find It pays they are business men enough to get pecuniary profit out of their newspapers In a legitimate way, and it is fair to assume that this is so in his case, since he so confidently and modestly says that "through quick decisions I have built up a newspaper business which is not surpassed by any in the middle west" We do not wish to cast any shadow on the word of Mr, Gordon, therefore, we take him at his word. Why should a man who, by his own confession, has been so successful in his own business, be asking votes on that plea? Does Gor. don fancy that he ought to be paid twice That is the Big I.

There are citizens in this town who have aided in the good works of the town quite as much as Gordon, men who had no return through their newspaper, who are not asking, therefore, to be mayor on that plea. There are republicans who have worked harded for their party, who have had no return through their newspapers, who are not so conscious of their own merit as to come forth and say that "there is no better man to lead the republican hosts than the man who stands before you."

We pointed out in a recent issue that no council would dare oppose Gordon in any of hia dictations to them. That dictation which says to the people of Richmond, I with my off-hand judgments, know far better than you do although my past is filled with mistaken decisions of the moment, I know better than the eouneilmen you elect, and I will not allow them .o do anything that I say is not my will on the peril of spattering them with insinuations should they oppose me that sort of government Is dangerous no matter who the mayor or official may be. Such government is boss government. The people play a very small part in that with the MAN on Horseback. There is too much egotism in Gordon to make a suitable mayor. "You must because I aay to" in a mayor is not tha kind of mayor to have. Where is your government by the people if the dictatorship with ita entailed insinuations with ita personal editorial attacks at the slightest sign of opposition? c And this same egotism has led Mr. Gordon to be superior to the law which he, in event of his election, is pledged to enforce. He is making promises of things which he cannot do he has made promises that the law would force him to do anyway. He is even promising to the voters as to what the courts will do despite the fact that the court has to act on the evidence at hand despite the fact that Mr. Gordon will not be the court before which some of his promises come up for decision under. He is even promising what he will do as city judge without any regard to what the evidence and the technicalities of the law provide. Gordon's attitude toward the law is that he can change the statutes and that he will be superior to them. That is another feature of the egotism of Gordon.' We are not now concerned as to whether the things which Gordon announces be right or wrong It is his attitude toward all things. It would be folly to assert that Gordon is always wrong but it is the truth; when we say that if things are not identical with the opinions of Gordon that everyone else is wrong beyond a doubt and therefore they must .be maligned to the full extent of his paper. In reality this coercion , which springs from his egotism has played more havoc with what might .be accomplished in this community than any other thing. That Is the 'effect of the big I. ;

Let the people of the town be forewarned let them think seriously before, they allow themselves to be put in a situation where they as a town will have to fight one man with his newspaper who will held the whip hand over them. The consciousness and the self satisnedness of the personality of Gordon, 'The big I, will stop at nothing to attain its end. Four years Is a mighty long time with the turmoil of insinuation and back-biting which will surely ensue.

IF IT BE" THE WAY TO BUILD UP A TOWN TO HAVE TO FIGHT EVERYTHING PAST ONE MAN AND HIS NEWSPAPER, TO COMBAT THE EGOTISM OF ONE MAN EVERY TIME HE DOES NOT AGREE FOR THE MOMENT AND THIS AT THE RISK OF EVERY MAN WHO IS NOT, INTIMIDATED BEING SPATTERED WITH MUD WE WILL WHEN THE SUCCESS OF THE PLAN HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED, ACKNOWLEDGE OUR FAULT. EVERY MAN MUST ADMIT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE BATTLE WITH THE EGOTISM OF A.MAN WHO BOASTS HIS POWER OF "OFF HAND JUDGMENTS" IT IS A BIG RISK ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A SANER ALTERNATIVE,,

WIS CHILDREN WILL SEE FATHER Youngsters Will Be Brought From Washington Today For the Trial. PRISONER IN BAD HEALTH HE GIVES EVERY INDICATION OF BEING AN INSANE MAN ATTOR NEYS FEAR TO SAY "ANN 1 8" TO HIM. Flushing. L. I., April 27. The little children of Captain Peter C. Hains, on trial for his life in Flushing, are to be brought from Washington today, and, If they arrive in time and circumstances permit it they will be seen by their father for the , first time since before the shooting of Wil liam E. Annis, at the Bayside Yacht club on August 16. last. The decision to have the children brought here was reached only early today by John F. Mclntyre, the chief counsel of the Halns legal forces. The black nurse "Emma. who made such a spectacular witness at the trial of T. Jenkins Hains. is in charge of the children and she had instructions to come with them on one of the early trains from the' capital city. The children will be taken first to the Hotel Astor where they will be welcomed by their Godmother. Mother Is Improved. The mother of the defendant has greatly improved during the past few days. . . .. . The grandmother is particularly fond of little Peter,' who resembles his father, very much. Mrs. Hains, like the children, has not looked upon the captain since his arrest. .'-.;-- She was most anxious to come to Flushing to greet .him on the day the trial opened, but was nnable. through illness, to do so. ; r Prosecutor Dewitt had no comment to make about tie reported futile attempt by Dr. Mclntyre to talk to his client about the letter's own case, The captain, Mr. Mclntyre said, had answered him vaguely, when asked whether he knew that be was on trial for. the murder of Annie. A week ago the attorney told a reporter that he would not dare mention the name "Annis" in Capt. Hains presence because he feared the effect upon the prisoner a mind. Ever since the beginning' of the present trial, Captain Halns has dispensed with his spectacles. Haa Vacant Look. He was never without them up to a recent date. The lack of the) leasee aiva hia exea a particularly vmcaat look and annken aaect. ; Deep rings under his eyes only add to this effect It nit always been understood ' that Captain Hains was very nearsighted.

Captain Lubke and the craw of the German freighter Tannenfels, which docked at Bush's stores today, after having discharged a cargo of COO monkevs at Boston, declared that they wooid never sign again on a vessel which featured sing-tailed roarers "an slch in He manifest."

Bingham Is a candidate for the nomination for governor In 1912 and the leaders are saying -that by his activity in the local option campaign he has driven awav from himself every liberal vote in the state., And moreover, the leaders of the party want to keep the liquor question out of politics In the next campaign, for they say they have had enough of it and that it should now be left alone. Say He Made a Break. "By going up to Monde and mak ing the break that he made Sunday, Bingham has put the party In a bole,' said one prominent republican. "The party should not pay any attention ta the liquor question next time. It has made all kinds of trouble for us al ready and the longer it is drawn out the more trouble we will have with It If Bingham want to be the prohibition candidate for governor that Is all right, but he should not seek now to make the republican party stand for the issue again." There la no doubt that Bingham will draw to his support many dry votes in the state In hia campaign for the nomination for governor, but the general feeling seems to be that he will lose the liberals, and that If he succeeds In being nominated the party will lose the entire liberal vote of the state. That's what makes the party leaders sore at him. OHLY 10 CENTS admission to that cpiendld concert at the First Encfe?i Lutheran Church Tonight. Bessie's "Mamma.' said little Bessie at table one Boon.
