Can 'the Door Be Opened?
Preliminary steps havo been taken
to test out tho right of the lieutenant
governor to be a candidate for gov
ernor, notwithstanding Its Inclusion
in tho constitution as one ot the ex
ecutive stato offices) and tho consti
tutional prohibition barring every
executive state officer from eligibil
ity to any othor oxecutivo state of
fice during the term for which he
lias been chosen. To get into court
a primary filing, tendered to the
secretary of state, has been refused
by him for this express reason, and
a mandamus Is to be fought to com
pel acceptance. "We can sec how;
the mandamus might be denied on
the ground that no discretion rests
with the secretary of stato because
ii. does not devolve on him to pass
on tho qualifications of candidates
seeking nominations, yet wo hope
that this mooted question may bo
finally disposed of right now, for
we are Buro to have It with us with
regular recurrence until it is dis
posed of.
Without considering tho wisdom
or tho foolishness of tho constitution
rrakors, Tho Deo has always read
that document as putting a dead lino
in front of gubernatorial ambitions
cherished by other stato house In
cumbents. There, are other parts of
our constitution equally Inconveni
ent to those affected, such, for ex
ample, as tho prohibition upon tho
treasurer serving more than two con-

The court-martial held nt StrasaWirg to
try Colonel von Reuter and Lieutenant
Schad. German army officer, ch.rgcd
with overrldlnc civil authority and ar
resting clthtena at Zabern. last Novem- j
ber, promptly acquitted the officers. At I
the same time tho military court ot ap j
peals at Htrassburg st aside the sen
tence of forty-three days' Imprisonment
Imposed on Baron von Forstner, the
'boy lieutenant" responsible for the con
ulslon In the Alsatian town. The ex
pected happened In both cases. Saber
rulo In Germany, and particularly In the
conquered French province., Is a power
which hold, civil law and civilian life
as thing, to be tolerated while unas
sertive and respectful. The jeering
laughter of boys at Baron von Forstner
was the primary cause ot the outbreak
which caused the military to override the-
populace, aweep the streets of Zabern
with guns, cut down a cripple who
could not get out of the way quick
enough, and arrest civil functionaries
without warrant.' The trial of men re
sponsible tor the outrage by associate
defender, of "the honor of the army"
could have no fitter ending than the
vindication ot military over civil rule.
The fact that the military spirit domi
nates life In Germany prompts an Amer
ican writer to warn hi. countrymen who
may visit the Fatherland to exercise the
grtat-.t caution and reserve In the
presence ot officer, or soldiers. To resent
a fancied Insult or Interfere In a gross
act of brutality happening before his
eye., endangers the visitor's life. There
Is no redress for his Injuries and no
reparation for heirs In case he suc
cumbs. "For his military assailant, per
hapa hla slayer, will be able to plead
mat ne acted In accordance with the
strict- rules of hla profession and with
tho time-honored ethics of his caste: and.
since he la Immune, from the Jurisdiction
of tho ordinary criminal and civil courts,
is only amenable to court-martial."
Wrangles In the Balkans.
Affairs in tho Balkan atates are not
sounding the serenely peaceful note
which usually follows the conclusion of
war. Too many bandmaster, confuse
the pitch, and tho be.t artist. In the
concert of Europe appear unable to har
monize tho discords. Prince William of
Weld, appointed by four of the six
powers governor of Albania, has not
taken office nor moved In that direction,
although tho powers have guaranteed
him a civil list of at least $10O.0O a year
and a pension of IJO.OOO a year for lit In
event of abdication, voluntarily or other
wise. Tho prince evidently reall.es the
difficulties of tho task of governing a
few millions of alien, in raeo and creed,
more apt in guerrilla operations than In
peaceful pursuits. But the main reason
for hesitation is the rumpus over the
boundary lines of tho new-born kingdom.
Tho boundary commlaslon, Influenced bv
Austria and Italy, seeks to curtail the
territorial prize won by Greece and Ser
vlo, and shave tho meager slice ot land
promised Montenegro In return for the
evacuation of Skutatl. Turkey I. also
