UPHOLDERS of personal liberty in this State are looking | for a legitimate and immediate point of attack against the threatened Prussianism of Nation-wide Prohibition let them concentrate pressure upon State legislators at Albany up to and tmeluding next Wednesday, when the Jui ry Committees of the and Assembly are scheduled to hold a joint hearing on the | n-McNab bill. | The Thompson-McNab bill provides the coercion, seizure | espionage by which William H. Anderson and the Anti-Saloon League would have the National Prohibition Amendment enforced in the State of New York. This measure is of the most approved Anderson type. It) _ @utrages personal and private rights, sets up a system of spies and " confidential agents and creates a State Prohibition Commissioner | | more powerful than Judges. To be that Commissioner would be ge job after William H. Anderson’s own heart. | The search and seizure provisions of the bill have been explained by Lemuel Ely Quigg: “It says that if I am a rich man, so rich as to possess a ‘pri- | vate dwelling,’ the whole part of which is my dwelling, like Mr. | Carnegie’s house in Fifth Avenue or Mr. Rockefeller's at Pocan- theo Hills, no warrant shall issue to search it. “But if I am a clerk in thelr employ and have to live ina | fat where other people have apartments and some portion of the building is used as a store or shop, hotel or boarding house, bs or for any other purpose than a private residence—the resi- oe dence, that {s, of a man who is rich enough to maintain one from cellar to garret—then upon anybody's verified complaint ; that there is probable cause for believing a flask of whiskey is f in my apartment, any Judge before whom the complaint is f placed ‘shall’ issue his warrant.” Every dweller in a New York apartment house where there ‘a store or restaurant on the ground floor liable to have his invaded and searched at any hour of day or night! i Preposterous, unthinkable. Yes. But not to the Anti-Saloon exulting in one great triumph and determined to score greater. So was Nation-wide Prohibition preposterous and unthink- until an astounded people woke up to find it already jammed their Federal Constitution. Can the Anti-Saloon League talk louder and to more effect at y than the electors of this State? It can and will unless electors put the fear of vanishing votes failure of re-election into some of their smug and hypocritical mis ntatives. 4 The Evening World printed yesterday the names of the Anti-Saloon League’s docile vote-casters in the Senate and in the x By , day what \ i bigotry, inquisition and absolutism as shamelessly | " proposed for the State of New York in the Thompson-McNab bill. a Don’t expect some one else to do it.

HB First Balkan war had cnded in a sweeping victory of the four allies (Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Monte- negro) over their ancient Turkish tyrants. Its peace treaty had left almost nothing of “Turkey in Lurope.” The Great Powers interfered and gave back to the beaten Turks some of their lost tertitory. But there was still enough conquered Turkish land to be divided with vast profit amang the victors. And the question arose as to how the spoils should be divided, which promptly led to a now Balkan war. The peace treaty, for example, had ceded Contral Macedonia to Bulgaria. This' region happened to be occupied by Serb troops, and Serbia refused to withdraw them. The Bulgars denounced the Serbs as false to their aljiancé-pledge. The Serbs accused the Bulgars of wanting to gobble more than their rightful share of the cunquered territory In Eastern Macedonia the Bulgars and Grecks were having a simies dispute, In fact, here they came to blows in several bloody skirmishes. “For ages,” writes Schurman, “the fatal vice of the Balkan nations has been the intolerant and immoderate assertion by each of its own clatmay coupled with contemptuous disregard for the rights of others.” Behind the various rivals loomed the gigantic figures of Russia anf Austria; each with @ selfish interest in promoting strife. Theso and othee causes led to an instant preparation for war. quar onaae $ On May 23, 1913, the fighting began. Turkey cares an War, Joined merrily in the fray. And once more the Balkans were eflame, The Serbs and the Greeks were banded agatnat the Bulgars. They persuaded the Roumanians to combine with them. Ang Turkey reoccupied the new Bulgarian stronghold of Adrianople, Bulgarta found herself faco to face with four determined enemies, ‘The Bulgare fought fiercely against the terrible odds. She engaged @h® Greek and Serb armies, between the Vardar and tho Struma. But gfe could not save Adrianople from capture by the Turks under Enver Pashag nor Silistria from the Roumanians.

Benjamin Franklin ts on record as saying: “There never yet was @ g00d war or a bad peace, But it is doubtful if Bulgaria agreed with this maxim as regurds that particular peace. For the terms were cruelly hard on the lose: By the treaty Serbia not only wus allowed to hold all of Macedonte which was already in her possession, but received a Boedly slice of new land, including Bulgar territory, Greece received even richer awards, both in Macedonia and clsewhere, Her land grants shut Bulgaria completely off from any outlet into the western Acgean Sea; thus depriving the Bulgurs of almost any good harbog, Turkey too grabbed Adrianople.(which had been one of Bulgaria’. chief prizes in the first Balkan War) and much other territory.
