IiiikI, France, Germany, Austria, Kus

ty " Sovereignty means actual su
premacy, suzerainty generally means
something less than absolute power
The llalkaus arc perfectly willing to
recognize the autonomy of Albania
under Turkish suzerainty but wilt
not consent to Turkish sovereignty.
The llalkaus would make the Sultan
nominally ruler of Albania but with
out the political, administrative or
military power that he would have
;i sovereign. And while the armis
ticc last and the parties thereto are
engaging in disputes Turkey is daily
becoming better fitted tp renew the
stiugglc if necessary. She is in far
better shape for fighting now than
she wa at the beginning of the ar
mistice. Now that the ultimatum of the
allies ha been rejected definitely by
Turkey there it a little note of
anxiety as to the next turn in af
fairs The bone of contention in the
final negotiations that ended so ab
ruptly Monday, the (1th, was whether
01 not Adrlsnople should remain in
Ottoman territory. Turkey renounced
in favor of the allies her rights in
the Island of Crete and promised
further ratification of the Thracian
frontier, but insisted upon the reten
tion of Adrlanoplc. The Turkish en
voy gave as his reasons for refusing
to accede to the demands of the al
lies for the surrender of Adrlanoplc
the feeling on the part of Ottomans
that to surrender that city is to sur
render all they possess for the se
curity of Constantinople and the Dar-
convicted are actually guilty of the
crimes charged Is a matter not up to
us to determine. The penal institu
tions of our fair land enshroud In
their cloaks of misery many a man

which he has been sentenced. Many
at: innocent man's life Is slowly ebb
ing away while he Is serving a sen
tence In expiation of the deed com
mitted by another. However, this Is
the exception and not the rule. Sta
tistics will prove that ninety-nine
per cent of the inmates of our over
filled prisons and houses of correc
tion arc guilty as charged
Hut statistic will not show the
percentage of cases where extenuat
ing circumstances, that in a great
mtasiire are responsible for the com
mital of mojt crimes, arc taken into
account. Doubtless these men found
guilty of complicity in the recent nation-wide
business wrecking con

broken by the refusal, and unless
something intervenes to cause a re
sumption of the conference a re- i
uewal of the war Is likely.
The other element, however, that
is coming into the case is the near-
blasts and the charity of a public
almshouse.
Cxtcnuating circumstances without
number might be cited as justifica
tion for a great many deeds that are
contrary to the laws of both God
and man, but can any one justify the
wanton destruction of property or
the sending of souls to an eternity
fot which they are probably unpre
pared? Certainly there can be no
justification of an act that brings to
an untimely end the husband, fattier,
son or brother he who is the bread
winner of a family or the mainstay
of aged parents.
Charles W. Miller, United States
district attorney, who prosecuted for
the government, said' 'This prose
cution will be a benefit to organized
labor. It will purge it of rough tac
tics. The whole United States owes
a debt of gratitude to that jury."
Possibly tlic district attorney is
right possibly he is not. In any
event, it might not be amiss to sug
gest that it is not altogether within
the ranks of organized tabor that
purging of rough tactics would prove
of untold benefit to a long-suffering
people. There Is plenty of room for
good missionary work In the ranks
of the employer, and If the tactics
ol the latter were purged of their
roughness, if the man who tolls were
given good, healthful working con
ditions and wages In keeping with
the high cost of living, and if the
employer 'and employee would get
together with the idea of arriving at
an amicable adjustment of difficul
ties then It would be a good, safe
wager that such crimes as these men

is confidently hoped and expected
that their good offices will be brought
into play to secure a further sitting

Outrages
today stand convicted of would Im
mediately cease.
Hanging does not prevent murder,
for the gallows hold out no terror to
the man in whose heart lurks the de
sire to kill.
Penal institutions do not correct
criminals, and in very few instances
docs a man improve through con
finement in prison; as a rule the fact
that a man once wore stripes is suf
ficient to brand him as a criminal
all the days of his life, no matter
what may have been his crime.
So, while the district attorney may
be right in his opinion that the con
viction of these men will purge or
ganized labor of rough tactics, still
the fact remains that their convic
tion will not put a stop to dyna
miting and attempts at business
wrecking. What the country de
mands is a remedy that forever will
cud the strife and trouble existing
between capital and labor, and until
such a remedy is had outrages of
one kind or another will continue.
As the convicted men emerged
from the Indianapolis courtroom, the
group of prisoners stood between
two colossal marble statues repre
senting Liberty and Justice. The
scene was bathed in a golden winter
sunlight. The immense crowds, min
gling hatred with sympathy, looked
up, but were silent, as the prison
ers slowly wended their way to a
dark and dismal jail.
Let us hope that In the trial and
conviction of these men they were
accorded every courtesy within the
gift of Justice of their liberty they
will be deprived.
