See That You Are Properly Registered Thomas C. McCoy, County Chairman. NEW YORK. Oct. 2. The New Tor.H Sun publisher an article written by a special correspondent of the Sun, who returned recently from the near east, where he made a close study of political and economic condition. The article eays 'The abrogation 'of the special right of foreigner is on of the plan of reform that the new regime In Turkey has been, endeavoring to erect ever since the arbitrary rule of Abdul Hamld was replaced by con stitutional government These special rights have been looked upon by the young Turks, especially the more ad vanced wing of the party, aa re straints that made the carrying out of any new scheme of internal gov ernment Impossible. That they should seize as opportune for the step the moment when most of Europe Is at war le not unnatural and to those who have followed the oourse of events in the Ottoman empire was not unr expected. "The leaders of the committee of Union and Progress, or Young Turk party, who are to a great extent the moet progressive men of the country and have toeen educated at Christian Institutions In Turkey or In Europe, have from the first endeavored to throw off the foreign Influences that have been so instrumental In dictating Ottoman policy. Much of the talk re garding this party's warlike attitude may be traced to Its desire to make Turkey a land of the Turks. That the leaders have been unable to ac complish this has been due to the heavy Indebtedness to other countries wnd the inability to act Independently In the collection of taxes. Enver Pasha In discussing this phase of the situation a short time ago said that It was a great mistake to consider the Ottoman empire as under the do minion of Germany,, England or anyJ ether country. j " 'We, have- Oerman officers army because their methods ing and discipline seem best the requirements of our troops,' he said. "At the same time we have Our navy under training by English naval officers. Turkey's strength as a na tion will depend not upon a Germanic or an Anglicised Turkey, but upon a Turkey that meets all the needs of our people and (nay be developed in accordance with their condition. We are aiming to give all the people fair and equitable government No Hatred of Christians. " 'There is no reason to believe that the Mohammedan population has any great animosity against the Christians living among them, and I m sure that so far as the government itself Is concerned there Is no .untoward discrimination against them. What we ask for la peace that we may de velop our country and the' privilege of developing It along Its own lines and In conditions that exist In other countries) of Europe.' "The special privileges which have been abrogated made a most unusual condition of civic life in the Turkish empire. In that they gave to foreign ers immunities that are enjoyed else where only by diplomats. These pe culiar conditions did not rise from the fact that Christians are living in Moslem lands. They date back to Byzantine times, when the Italian cities formed colonies at Constanti nople. When the Turks came they, with contemptuous tolerance of other religions and customs, could not see why these colonists should not decide their own law suits and have their own kind of worship. "These rights grew and changed with centuries until the Turk was to a great extent without sovereignty In his own dominion.

"Abdul Hamld made several efforts to have these special , jmvllege re stricted, but the form 6f government existing then did not encourage the power to grant much relaxation ex cept In return for concessions and other advantages. ' The Young Turk feels that he Is In a different pwltlon since he overthrow the autocratic government. He has modernised the army, the police and the sanitary sys tem, he has built schools ami col leges and has reformed the postal service and the courts, Corto Napoleon tVtl. "The Judicial system hss been re modeled, the civil procedure being now based partly upon the Code Na poleon and partly on the minxes of the ancient courts. The criminal law has been borrowed from the French and the mercantile law from the French and Dutch. The whole pur pose has been to- rte the judiciary from Its archaic, . medieval standard to suit, present conditions and to do away with Judges, ; "The Toung Turk has striven to Improve the living conditions of the people and he has mad the streets of Constantinople as clean' as the street of any other European cjty. Turkey's educational system being improved and examination are now insisted on for entrance Into the army and Into industrial pursuits apd professions. It would be almost impossible to find to day, as was often the case in the past, a young man holding an Important position In army or clvlf life who 1 unable to read or write. It Is In the face of such evidence of progress that modern Turkey finds the extra territoriality that came to her as an Inheritance so bitterly galling. "Theoretically the effect upon the United States of this abrogation of special prtvlllge Is mostly concerned with the matter of trials and of edu cational and religious Institution. Among these are the Syrtsn Protest ant college at Beirut, the Robert col lege and the Woman's college on the Bosporus. To all of these Turkish of ficial have paid high tributes. Many Turk have been graduated froip either the Robert or the Beirut col lege, while today many of the pupils at the Woman' college are daughters of men in high position In the-Otto-man empire. The Beirut college was founded In 1866. The Kobert College has existed more than fifty years. They have both Hved through much more strenuous times than the pres ent, and from the regard in which they are held there seems no good reason to believe that they are now In peril. JJri "The peril W a- holy war, which he been so frequently held up before European nations ruling Mohamme dan population; ms ttkbe less a peril today than . ever before. The standard of the prophet was raised In the ftst BAlkanr ar4 Ivroved en tirely ineffective In rallying Moslems to Its support. There Is a vast amount of Internal politics In Mo hammedanism. The fact that all Mos lems do not recognise th sultan or Turkey as the caliph, the, schisms, the hereditary enmity between the Arab and the Turk, these and various other elements entering Into the question make it very doubtful If the govern ment at Constantinople would dare to risk lie prestige among Its own peo ple by such an impractical action." GIIiMORK 8RKK8 PEACE. CHICAGO, Oct . Club owners of the Federal league are ready to make peace with organlxed baseball on any "fair and honorable terms," according to a staterryyU made here today by James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal organization. "We stand ready to mlet organised baseball half way on any peace propo sition," Gilmore set forth In his state ment, "but I don't want to place our organsation in a. false light. We are not standing on the door step, hat in hand. The baseball war could be ended promptly and honorably If President Johnson, of tee American league and his associates would deign to meet us as business men and dis cuss the subject as a business propo sition." President Oilmose asserted his be lief that peace would come to baseball whether men identified with the Na tional and American leagues wanted It or not. There Is not room for three major leagues, he asserted, and be believed one must fall. IJS GLOW AT IGIiT.

Corona effect Is accompanied by a com paratively hljh pitched hissing sound and at night is visible aa a luminous envelope of bluish llcht.

He took a cigar out of his pocket, bit off me end put the cigar in his mouth, took a match out of the match box, and tried to light his cigar. The match broke in two. He took another. The wind blew it out With the third, fourth on up to the sixth he had similar mishaps. , By that time, I had be-' come tired of the spec tacle, so I walked over to him, handed him a Safe Home Match and said: 'Here!
