FORESHADOWS FINAL DOOM OF AUTOCRACY Sultan's Downfall Carries Advance of Liberal Government Into Final Citadels of Tyrants. VOL. 25. NO. 23. Autocracy's final doom is foreshadowed in the damnation of the sultan. Autocracy's final doom is foreshadowed in the downfall of the sultan. When the principle of liberal government is able to storm such a citadel of absolutism as the castle of the ruler of Turkey, one of the great traditional deserts of the world, there is no autocrat who has a right to feel comfortable on his throne. The shah of Persia, whose position has been for centuries analogous to that of the sultan, except that he has not caused such rivers of blood to flow. must in the present unsettled condition of affairs in his own country find plenty to give him the pause in the downfall of "Abdul the Damned." It has taken the people of the East Mehmed Effendi, the new sultan of Turkey. thousands of years to learn. Their governments were old when the most venerable of modern nations were in swaddling clothes. An anateded idea of government held progress in check, made the people little better than seers, stifled progress and opened the womens' room and brutality. Still loyal to the nation, they submitted. The sultan, the shah, the kheivei were ancient titles so awesome that even to think of revolt was to commit a frightful crime, not only against the ruler of the nation, but against the gods of their faith. The other nations of the world, excluding possibly China, know no parting with the severance in which the sultan and the shah were held by their peoples. Bound by Superstition. A Turkish father would have stood by and watched soldiers strike down his wife and children without daring even a word of protest if he thought the order came from the sultan. Superstition had so deeply bound their worship with the person of the ruler of the country that he really became one of the gods. The foxy old sultan, Abdul, who thought he might represent an ancient ideal, was very modern in his diplomacy and politics, knew this feeling, and constantly traded on it for his safety when extreme outrages had from time to time put his throne and his person in danger. He never believed that a time would come when personal reverence for him could brook any longer to his person. Europe has thought these. Those statesmen who, to their eldest discredit, were several times responsible for keeping the other nations of the world from interfering to prevent the slaughter of the helpless, never entertained a serious thought that the revolt which should end the career of the most ferocious of surviving rulers would come from the people of his own country. Enver Bey, leader of the young Turks' party. Mammoth West Virginia Tree Felled. What is believed to be the largest tree in West Virginia was a poplar felled by Everett Curtis in Raleigh county. Its trunk was cut into five logs each twelve feet long. The stump measured 8 feet across one way and 9 feet in diameter. It is believed the age of the tree is 360 years. The poplar therefore was a large tree when Columbus discovered America and fought the battle of Hastings it must have been a sapling of considerable size. The forces that brought about the downfall of the enslaut spoken of at the as of the "Young Turks" were at the start only a handful of the population of the country. In fact, the Turks themselves only stand in the proportion of about one to four of the entire population. Young Turks Students. The Young Turks were mostly students, and it is an eternal credit to the liberal governments of Europe and to the republic of the new world that they gained their ideas of a freer and better form of government through association with Europeans, especially Englishmen and Americans. These students worked quietly and skillfully to side their enthusiasm drew as many people as minded. The radical sultan worshipers they made no attempt to win over. Recognizing from the first that the basis of the power of the autocrat rested on his control of the army they cleverly, yet legitimately, using no arguments that were not true, sowed the seeds of discontent among the soldiers. They showed that the rulers of other nations had some consideration for the military. That the rulers of fair wages, and when he retired was able to go home with his family and live in comparative comfort. This was a new thought for the soldier of the sultan, who did not know what the word pay meant, was kept in the service till he was useless for anything else, and when finally he was sent off he returned penniless to find his parents' farm hopefully run down in the interim and himself forced to work with the most primitive instruments to make the barest kind of a living. He could, of course, confiscate the property of his Christian or Jewish # Members of the Persian parliament. neighbor, but this procedure had increased in peril, and was the signal for all kinds of excitement in Europe, and moreover, even though he did this, he would have to give a liberal a share to the official above him that little would remain for himself. The officers were no better off. Galant old heroes of the Russo-Turkish war often were known to pawn medals won in that conflict in order to get food for the children and wives. standing in the relation of premier or secretary of state. But this reform has been in name only. Robberies of the poor continue. The bastinado and death by decapitation, stabbing or torture continue to be imposed for minor offenses. But the lesson of Turkey will probably not be lost on the shah, and the other absolute monarch of antiquity the hethelive of Egypt, is likely to rejoice that he is protected. Morale of Army Affected. The morale of the army was cleverly affected in this way by the unceasing efforts of the Young Turks, and their work was so quietly done that none knew the state of mind of the soldiers till the test came, and they failed the tyrant when most he needed them. In their battle to dethrone despotism the worst foe the Young Turk had to deal with was the system of espionage which covered the whole country with the spies of the sultan. For a disrespectful word against the monarch its author was likely to be exiled, his property confiscated, or if Abdul felt in a singularity, his life might pay the fieft. The Young Turk avoided having a recognized leader, for he soon would have paid the price with his life. Every Turk belonging to the order took oath on the Koran. There were taxes on the members to raise needed funds to carry on the work, the families of those who died in the fight were cared for by the organization, and penalties were imposed on the recurrent. It was a most amazing instance of working in the dark, of fighting craft with craft, and its success has shown most impressively what can be done in this line. The example of Turkey has not been lost on the discontented Persia. Here for a long while has been existing a condition somewhat similar to that of Turkey. Twenty-five years ago a man named Dooley, Col. Dooley, ran a paper at Liberty, in Montgomery county, called The Review. The colonel was a great wit. At one time his office was upstairs, and the stairway was in the alley in the rear. One day the colonel got mad and moved out, and when asked why he moved, replied dryly: "I was afraid someone might wander up that stairway some day and claim my office by right of discovery." THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN. SATURDAY. JUNE 1, 1909. Shah Also Absolute. The shah stands in the same relation to Persia as the sultan does to Turkey. There is no law to limit his power. His spies overrun the country, he possesses absolute authority over the lives and property of his subjects. With a wave of the hand he can take any life in the realm, without exciting even a protest, that property he covets for his extravagances is his merely by expressing the word. But, worse still, this same absolute power has been delegated to the deputies of the shah, the governors and officers of the provinces and the districts. Oppression of the working classes under such a form of government is inevitable, for there is virtually no punishment for the greedy or tyranal governor who seeks to grow rich on the surgeries of those beneath him. Nominally the acts of these officials is subject to revision, but as long as they make a proportionate return of their stealings to the throne, they are immune from justice. The grand vizier used to be the shah's chief of staff in conducting the affairs of state, but signs of unrest in LOU DILLON WILL GIVE SPEED TRIAL IN BERK Greatest of the American Trotters to Show Off Kaiser William of Germany.

Photographed: 1903. Copyright by Schrelber. Latest and best photograph of Lou Dillon. Before the royal eyes of the emperor of Germany, and the crown prince the greatest of American horses is to show her speed. At the express request of the emperor, Lou Dillon, queen of trotters, will give a special exhibition in Berlin June 13, with her noted owner, C. Billingham, holding the reins. The Billingham has long been anxious to see the noted owner, who was the first horse to be trotted two minute mark for trotters. Lou Dillon will not enter in any races, but will make a trial against time in order to let his majesty and German experts study her stride and form. Whatever money accrues from the exhibition Mr. Billingham will hand over to Berlin charities, as his only motive is to let the old world see the kind of trotter that Uncle Sam can produce. The occasion for Lou Dillon's appearance is the opening or the superb new racing stadium at Rueheleen, near Berlin. In a desire to give an international favor to the affair, noted horsemen of all nations were invited to send their best fliers to the capital. Trainer Tanner, who has horses, hips horses, is now in Berlin with string of nine good ones, and Mr. Billingham himself is due to arrive in Berlin about the first of June. Warm Welcome Assured. He is assured of a warm welcome in the German capital, and the appearance of Lou Dillon in action is certain to be the sensational feature of the opening of the new track, for public interest is keen to see the much discussed mare. And Mr. Billings can drive her, too. His fame as a horseman is by no means confined to the possession of this one notable champion. He has Latest and best photog had a score of them, and he has almost as many superb stables' as the emperor of Germany, his host, has castles. In his enthusiasm for blooded horse he has invested more than a half million dollars in stables. He has two in New York city, one in Madison avenue for his high steppers; another near Fort Tyron for his trotters. The latter is one of the largest and finest appointed stables of its kind in the country. In Chicago Mr. Billings has a fine stable in the rear of his Washington Boulevard residence. He built another few years ago on the trotting track track of his horse, 900, in a private stable for his horse at the Cleveland track. He has a farm for his horses at Stevens Point, Wis, and a residence stable at Colorado Springs, where often his horses than Mr. Billings has dis- not often has there been a more genuine and unselfish enthusiasm for horses than Mr. Billings has displayed. Stirred by Friendly Rivalry. It is said that his love for the game was first stirred by a friendly rivalry with another millionaire, E. E. Smathers. At first Mr. Smathers had the better of this contention. For several years Lord Derby beat the best horses that Billings could obtain, the most notable being the Monk. At one time in fact Mr. Smathers held 90 per cent of the important harness horses. When in the winter of 1909 Mr. Billings bought for $1,250 the promising filly, Lou Dillon, he paved the way to his most notable triumph over his rival. It is characteristic of Mr. Billings' liberality in his devotion to his dad that he declined to race Lou Billion. He was confident that she was the best horse One day while George Ade was traveling in the Orient he came upon a fellow passenger in heated discussion with an old Arab. The lady, a school teacher from Indiana, complained to Mr. Ade that after studying Arabic for years, in preparation for this trip, she could not understand a word that the native said. "Never mind," said Ade, consolingly. "Can't you see that he hasn't a tooth in his head. He's talking gum-Arabic." of the year, and could clean up nearly all the big purses. She had shown an ability to trot a 2:06 gait, which would probably have been fast enough to carry her to triumph most of the events, valued at $55,000, for which she was contracted. But Mr. Billings had a greater thought for the beautiful trotter. He saw in her the chance to bring out the dream all horsemen had been cherishing since the days of Goldsmith's Maid, a two minute trotter. He canceled all her grand circuit engagements, and directed every effort for an attempt to develop her speed to the making of a new world's record. As she fallen into other hands, and gone down the line for a strenuous season, competing on the grand circuit, is questionable if Lou Dillon would ever have been known as the champion. Lou Is Affectionate. Millard Sanders, who developed on Dillon and drove her when, for the first time, she reached the two-minute mark, says that at the beginning she was double gaited, and gave little promise of becoming a world beater. She is a chestnut mare, with a left hip and a left leg. She stands 15.1 in height, and in racing conditions weighs in the neighborhood of 804 pounds. She was broken as a two-year-old, and trained to some extent as a three-year-old. When Lou went into the hands of Mr. Sanders in 1902 she was hardly four years old, and had hardly done any work before she became sick, and was very nervousness that she almost died. Delicate, very affectionate, she presented a most difficult proposition to the trainer, and while he already saw her ex- ceptional speed qualities, it did not occur to him that the mare could be made a successor to the great Crescus. At the end of her illness Lou got down as low in weight as 500 pounds. But when she started to mend she progressed rapidly, and when perfect health had been restored the trainer directed himself to correcting her faults of gait. This was done by sheing her with ten-ounce shoe and four-ounce toe weight in front, but as Lou progressed in her training, Mr. Sanders tip she needed to a 4-34ounce shoe in front and a 2-12ounce shoe in back. Astonishing Speed. By steady and careful work Lou was brought along, and in practice she displayed such astounding bursts of speed that public belief centered HORSE RACING Lou Dillin in action ; Sanders driving "Madam," said the medical man, gravely, "you must practice filling your lungs with deep breaths of pure air." "An' bust the smithereens out of my new Directry gown," sniffed the lady. "I think I see myself." And turning on her high heels she haughtily left the apartment. And many a man who looks wise and says nothing is unable to make good. on her as the horse to get down to the much desired two-minute figure. Mr. Billings steadily declined to put the mere on exhibition for money. At his own expense he sent her to Cleveland, thence to Brighton and finally to Boston. It was at the latter place on Readville track. Aug. 23, 1903, that she finally performed the epoch making feat of bringing the record down to two minutes. She subsequently did even better, but since this was the first time in the history of the sport that the mile had been done in two-minute time, it will ever remain as C. K. G BILLINGS Owner of Lou Dillon. On that day the California bred mare, by Sidney Dillon, Lou Milton out of Milton Medium, before a crowd of 6,000 frenzied spectators cut 21-4 seconds from the world's record held by Crescue. The quarters were done in 30 1-4, 30 1-2, 30 1-4 and 29 seconds. It was the wonderful burst of speed at the finish, the great last quarter, that brought the trial to this record-breaking finish. It was this triumph to Mr. Billings, it was probably less than the joy he got out of the race for two minute trotters between himself and E. E. Smatthers at Memphis. Makes Two-Minute Record. This was the first time in the history of trotting that there had ever been a two-minute class, and to the outcome of the contest hinged the trotting championship of the world, and also the premier of gentlemen drivers, for the two owners held the reins themselves. Major Delmar had been going along in a manner similar to Lou Dillon, piling up all kinds of records, and there were many who thought he could show you how he needs to the Billings horse in a race. But Lou Dillon was there in a race just the same as in a time trial and won most decisively. The mare is in fine shape now, and will be able to display quite a burst of speed for the pleasure of the German monarch and his guests. First Fare on the Comet. Dr. John Inglis remembers a conversation with an old gentleman who claimed to have been the first to pay passage money on board the first passenger steamer in Europe—the historic Comet. The voyage undertaken was from the Broomielaw to Dalmuir—fourpence now by tramway car—and the fare was four shillings! It was taken by Henry Bell himself, the Comet was stopped and waited for half an hour till Bell and his passenger adjourned to an inn, where the first fare wet the toast of prosperity to the pioneer passenger steamer. Sufficiently Done. As a gentleman was having his luncheon in the coffee room of a Birmingham hotel he was much annoyed by another visitor, who during the whole of the meal stood with his back to the fire warming himself and watching him partake of his repast. At length, unable to endure it any longer, he rang the bell and said: "Walker, kindly turn that gentleman round: I think he is done on that side." THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 6-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 6-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. ADVANCE GOES ON HISTORY OF MODERN' RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT. Improvement Made on Grand Trunk Line is a Specimen of Work Being Done on All Great Avenues of Traffic. In a recent issue of an American magazine, Mr. W. A. Fraser, the Canadian author, tells an interesting story of the destruction of an old iron bridge on the Grand Trunk railroad. After building this bridge many years ago, the engineer in charge of this work settled in a little Ontario town, whose lower streets were washed by the waters of this stream spanned by the bridge in question. For 20 unair author, ten an interesting the destruction of an old iron bridge on the Grand Trunk railroad. After building this bridge many years ago, the engineer in charge of the work set in a little Ontario town, whose lower streets were washed by the waters of this stream spanned by the bridge in question. For 20 years or more he had watched from the shelter of his own vine the long freight trains and the flying passenger trains crossing the bridge. For 20 years the midnight express woke him, and when she rushed past his cottage he knew that the bridge was there, and that the twin had crossed in safety. He came in with a gang of workmen to replace the old bridge with a modern twin-trapped steel structure, the old man was unable to understand why they should seek to destroy his "masterpiece." At first he refused to believe it. He recalled that the company had hard work raising the money to build this bridge 20 years ago. He pointed out to the engineer that the bridge was as new as the masonry and the material employed grew stronger and firmer, hardened and toughened by the touch of time. "Ah, yes," said the young engineer, "it is indeed a splendid piece of work, and if you could have foreseen the vast volume of traffic that would have traveled this way, if you could have anticipated the modern mogul with its 50 loads of 60,000-pound-cars, if you had but dreamed of the great express engines with their crushing hammer that would have built a bridge that would have stood for a century instead of 26 years." This story states in the form of fiction a most interesting fact—the fact that Canada is growing, and that the Grand Trunk railway system is keeping step. In the short space of a single decade the line had developed from a fourth-rate, single-track railway, to one of the very best double-track lines on the American continent, with one of the longest continuous stretches of double track under one general manager in the world. The officers of the line have spent much time and some money to make the line more efficient, to train employees of every class, especially trainmen, shopmen and those who are not officials. They have provided night schools in connection with the mechanical department for the benefit of apprentices, and even scholarships in McGill college for a limited number who show interest and enthusiasm in their work. All this tends to the betterment of the service. In Infancy of Railroads. The first locomotive to be placed on American rails was the Stourbridge Lion. It had been constructed in England and made its initial trip on August 8, 1829, with Horatio Allen at the throttle. Allen was the engineer of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company and had supervised the construction of this engine. The track was 16 miles long and was built of wooden rails covered with strap iron. When the iron straps worked loose, as they frequently did, they would fly up and punch holes in the floors of the cars and sometimes wove them with passengers. The first locomotive, built in this country was completed in 1820 and was used to transport passengers over the Baltimore & Ohio from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills at a rate of speed sometimes reaching 18 miles an hour. The name of the engine was the Tom Thumb, and it was designed by Peter Cooper the philanthropist. Saved Lives of Passengers. One hundred lives hung in the balance for the fraction of a second the other night while Engine Driver Baldwin of the Santa Fe Rail bridge as to whether he should follow his fireman's example and jump or stick by his engine and pilot it over the fast settling bridge at Arroyo Seco, Cal. The arroyo was a raging torrent from the water cut under the concrete pillar and it began to sag. Then came the train of five cars slipping down grade from Pasadena. Engine Driver Baldwin saw the danger, but as he was unable to stop the train before it was on the bridge he opened the throttle and let the engine run across. Had he hit the bridge at high speed cars and passengers would have gone into the roaring water. Railroad Earnings Fell Off. Stated in brief, railroad gross earnings in the calendar year 1908 fell, roughly, $325,000,000 below the total of the gross earnings for the calendar year 1907—Financial Chronicle.

It attempted to destroy that very civilization that has made mer free and has turned them away from savagery. If lynching merely put a worthless offender ont of the way, little could be sald against it. But the injury that Iynehing does is to the living. It brutalizes every one who takes part in it. A man who joins a mob goes ‘hack to the conditions that existed 10,000 years ago when his forebears dwelt in trees and dashed out the brains of their fellows with a club. ‘This was an era of brutish men, con- trolled by no higher force than their brute physical strength. They were on all fours with other savage beasts, and their only advantage was that they walked on two legs while other beasts used four. If the sheriff had been as energetic in discharging his sworn official duty as the judge was in discharging his duty as a citizen, there would have been no lynching. Instead of the lynching, there would have been to day, probably, a few first-class fu- rerals. ‘When such influential journals as the one quoted uses such language right in the midst of the solid South, it means that public opinion will, ere long, compel peace officers to do their official duty, instead of coquetting with the Murderers’ Associations which usurp the functions of the ‘abe A MAN IS A MAN.

But for the street I wear clothes that conform to the fashions, 50 as not to be unpleasantly consple- uous, and Iam sure no one notices the absence of the corset. Mary Garden as Proof, “The best-way to show you that the undistorted figure of 1909 is quite as beautiful and symmetrical as that ot the Greek women is to furnish ocular proof.” Whereupon Mrs, Johnston trailed Jown the long vistas of her curtained studio and came back with two pho- tographs, one of a statue of Venus from the National gallery at Naples; the other that of Mary Garden. “If these two figures were in the same pose,” she continued, “their lines would be almost identical, except for the magnificent square shoulders which Miss Garden has, and which aifferentiate the modern woman from the classical ideal—very much to her advantage, I think. “T love the square shoulders of the women of today,” exclaimed Mrs. John- ston, “The body Is always a sym- bol of the mind, and these squarea shoulders show woman's new attitude toward life. They indicate the chem- icalization through which she is pass- ing.” For every day women are advane- ing, while men are remaining station- ary.

Every one, of course, will re- call some individual whose physique tends to contradict this theory, but such an Instanee does not affect its general truth, “The mind not only controls the ody, but it shapes the body. — My grandmother weighed over 200 pounds; ‘ny mother was a very fleshy woman; yet L. who have the frame of a stout woman, inherited a tendency to flesh, save kept myself slender simply by ‘ny mental viewpoint.

He begins to make what he considers tactful suggestions that perhaps she should conform a little more to pre- Yailing fashions, “The same fashion that makes over @ woman's figure makes over the mas- culine ideal of her, Women are in- tended by nature to have wide hips, and until the directoire fashion came in men admired the natural figure. Notwithstanding all the outery we have heard against the direetoire mode from men, the woman who would have been considered by them ten years ago to possess an Ideal figure would to- @ay be termed by them fat and dowdy. “All of which,” Mrs. Johnston con- cluded with a weary smile, “is due to the total lack of logie inevitable to the } masculine point of view.” Playing Checkers.

The Royal mail boats, the Hamburg-American boats, the French and Italian boats all bring their quota of tourists and sightseers onto the isthmus, everyone of whom seems to be carried away with the magnitude of the work going on and with the conditions as they find them. It would surprise me if, in the near future, because of the magnificent climate and of the natural interest that is being centered in and about the isthmus on account of the building of the canal, a great winter resort should be built up here; especially would this be a foregone conclusion if good roads should be constructed clear across the isthmus along the route of the canal. Roads are being constructed upon both sides of the isthmus by the isthmian canal commission. Mileage is not very extensive, and there seems to be no tangible movement toward extending the roads now being constructed across from Colon to Panama. The distance is only about forty-seven miles, and if a pike should be laid out and well macadamized, there could be no more beautiful highway imagined for the driving of automobiles and horse highway vehicles, especially so if the highway should skirt along the banks of the canal and the numerous lakes which will be formed thereby, so that the panoramic view could be maintained in all its beauty. There is just enough rise and fall to break the monotony, and at the same time afford easy grades for vehicles to move upon. This is the only highway in the world where one could cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean in two hours' time. It is also the only place in the world so far as I know where the sun seems to rise and set over the Pacific ocean viewed from the land. It is also the only place in the world, if my geography is correct, where a town on the Pacific ocean lies east of another town located upon the Atlantic ocean. as is the case with Panama and Colon. It would be a splendid thing if the isthman canal commission would construct a road from Colon to Panama.—New Orleans Picayune. Open Air Elementary School. Open Air Elementary School. The Norwich education committee recently approved the holding of an open air school at Belle Vue, in the Eaton suburb of the city, from the middle of May to the middle of October, for 100 children, to be drawn from the elementary schools on account of some physical weakness. This novel school will be open from half past 8 in the morning until half past 6 or 7 at night. The children will be conveyed to and from the school on tramcars and will have three meals a day there. The school will be open for five days a week for twenty weeks, and voluntary contributions will be invited toward the cost of the meals provided. The object is to improve the children physically and enable them the better to receive their education. Peter Cooper's Locomotive The first attempt to use engines in the United States for any other than experimental purposes was in 1829 by the Hudson & Delaware Canal company, from Carbondale to Honesdale, Pa., a distance of sixteen miles. The engines were made in England. In the following year Peter Cooper built the first locomotive in the United States. It weighed less than a ton; its boiler was about the size of a flour barrel and its flues were made of gun barrels. Mr. Cooper was highly elated because his engine made better time than the horses of other railroads. Sheridan's Spelling. The author of "The School for Scandal" had highly original views on the rules of spelling. In his Critic days, for instance, a "thing" to Sheridan was always a "think" and never by any chance did he remember that a "which" or a "where" to be really respectable must needs possess an "atch apiece." This rule of omission he also followed sheeplike in "wether" for "whether." Moreover, he scorned the use of a double "m" or a double "s." For example, "blessedness" was always "blessedes." At the Right Counter The old lady with the pale blue umbrella had been standing at the stationery counter for ten minutes. "I want to be waited on," she snapped impatient. "Certainly, madam," hastened the tall floorwalker. "Do you wish a stationery clerk?" "Stationery clerk? Gracious! They all seen stationary. They don't want to move." Truthful Answer "How old are you madam?" queried the lawyer who was doing a cross-examining stunt. "I don't know," answered the witness. "You don't know!" echoed the legal light in surprise. "No, sir," replied the woman. "I was too young to count during my first few years of my life, so I lost track of my age." Slightly Mixed.
