THE PROGRESSIVE BALKANS. |
A correspondent asks to tell liim
what the trouble in the lialkans is
about. The situation there is badly
complicated, but some of the salient
features and facts are unmistakable
and therefore have the united oppo
sition of the Turks, who are relig
ious fanatics.
Macedonia, a region in Southeast
ern Europe about as big as Missouri,
has long boen grossly misgoverned by
Turkey. Repeated promises or re
forms have proved vain. The op
pressed people of Macedonia—includ
ing Bulgarians, Servians and Greeks*
have boen appealing to their kinsmen
in the kingdoms of Bulgaria, Servfla,
and Greece, for help, l'ublic senti
ment iu. these border nat ions and in
ilie neighboring kingdom of Monte
negro, has finally been aroused to
such a pitch that these four states
such a pitch that these four states
compel Turkey to put the government
oC Macedonia under the supervision o
the Christian Balkan states and the
.European powers. Turkey is resist
ing because it knows that such an
arrangement would mean the event
ual loss of its European possessions.
THE VERDICT.
Wihln a. few hours the American
people will have submitted their
choice of a chief of stai'iu for the fol
lowing four years. In six of the
states the women will have acted
with the men in selecting our chLef
magistrate.
The campaign has been a remark
able one -in many aspects. To be
pln with there has been a noted
restlessness permeating the averag
voter; a marked discontent over the
existing conditions; par.:y ties and a
i illations have not been as binding as j
in the past and' a spiri, of indepen-|
1 j
d«nce has taken he place of the
l'.:rVy servitude of former National'
< lec-Uoiis. The big interests have
not wtilded the inluence which tlicyj
have exercised in past elections. n^i- J
4her iias the Republican party hadj
the money with wljjch to flood doubt-j
fill states, as in former years. On]
the other hand, while the people!
have been taking a dee p interest in i
the campaigns, they have not been
carried away by blind partisanship j
as In former years. I-ii efeet they j
have s« rv (t notice on the great or-j
gani/.iiions, that i !•': arc no longer j
blind followers of "organisation," <
but on the other hand are going to;
exercise the duties of fret men in a'
manlier worthy of an enlightened pe j
pie. Whatever may be today's re
sults, R will lie right, for .he ma-,
jorlty of tli«« voters have spoken.Whe. j
ther it be .Mr. NVilson, .Mr. Tift or
Col. Roosevelt, we c:m rest assured j
the government will continue; the
Nation live, and each of u.4. individ
ually, will con.iniic to enjoy tli" sam ,
JJrivalegoK \\ lii<*h have heretofore been
ours and that of our fathers.
There can he but one lasting re
gret. over < lie past campaign, and I
that is the unseemly behavior ofj
I'residi tit. Ttift and Theodore Roose
velt. Of tlio two, Col. Roosevelt Is
much more to blame having began a
cnmpnign of bitter personal I tics
•which have no equal in the historj
of our people, and which we slnce
r» ly hope w<ill never l>e repeated. The
sooner th<* recurances of the past
few months are forgotten the betrt^
It will be for our National respect.
Here is to the next president of the
United States. May his term of of
fice ' be blessed with unprecedented
success, and may tho land of the
stars and stripes, continue to grow,
morally. In numbers and <n wealth.

Extract from address by George E. Baldwin of Val
dez, to the American Mining Congress, Chicago,
October 27, 1911:
FROM OUR STANDPOINT CONSERVATION TO DATE
IS AN ATTEMPT TO GATHER ALL THE PUBLIC LANDS
OF OUR TERRITORY AS AN ESTATE, ITS FORESTS, ITS
«•
MINES, ITS WATER POWER, ITS WHARF SITES, TO BE
MANAGED BY A HORDE, A DEVASTING HOST OF GOV
ERNMENT UNDERLINGS AN D WORKED BY OUR CITI
ZENS AS TENANTS, LICENSEES AND LE8SEES; THESE
UNDERLINGS TO BE RULED BY A RETINUE OF OFFIC
IALS STATIONED AT WASHINGTON, THOUSANDS OF
MILES AWAY. ALL OF THESE LOCU8T8 OF OFFICIALDOM
TO CON8IDER THEMSELVES THE PEOPLE'8 MASTERS
AND NOT THEIR SERVANT8- WHY THI8 RETINUE STA
TIONED AT WASHINGTON? SO THEY CAN BE IN CL08ER
TOUCH WITH QUESTIONS TO BE DECIDED? NO! 80
THEY CAN BE PROMPTLY Orf THE GROUND TO LOBBY
FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS TO HIRE MORE OFFIC.
IALS TO LOBBY FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS, AD INFI
NITUM. AND THEY WILL NEED THESE APPROPRIATIONS
FOR SUCH A 8Y8TEM HAS NEVER IN PA8T HISTORY
PAID IT8 WAY AND NEVER WILL.
FOR GENERATIONS WE HAVE BEEN DECRYING THE
HEARTLE88 GREED OF IRISH LANDLORDS, YET HERE
IS A SYSTEM OF LANDLORDISM THAT OTlT^RTsFE8~tHE~
MOST IRISH LANDLORD THAT EVER DI8GRACED THE
HUMAN RACE BY HIS RAPACITY A LANDLORD WHO
REFUSES TO DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY, REFU8E8 TO
LET ANYONE ELSE DEVELOP IT EXCEPT UNDER THE
MOST ONEROUS CONDITIONS AND REFUSE8 TO PAY
ONE CENT OF TAXES TO BE EXPENDED BY LOCAL OF
FICIALS FOR LOCAL NEEDS. THE MANIFEST INJUS
TICE OF THIS NEEDS NO COMMENT.
