A man was teiling us that down in the country he stopped at a house that had a line telephone, and while he sat there, it rang and forthwith there was a rush to it notwithstand- ing the numebr of rings indicated an- other house. But that made no dif- ference, for they were just as much interested in what their neighbors were saying:to each other, or what the dealer had to'say to any one of them. They never for a moment questioned. their right to listen or the propriety of it. That was one thing they had the telephone for—to list- en to what the neighbors were talk- ing about. And it was not such a to rule out all mean and unkind talk | and establish propriety and courtesy | as the rule of the telephone.

There is nothing that so con- tributes to the mortality and kindly bearing of a neighborhood as a line many years the Armenians were the most numerous of the nationalities present.

Illustrating the emo- tional nature of the Armenian wom- en Miss Jenkins tells: “When the news of the death of a schoolmate reached one of our dormitories, the girls wept and even screamed with such abandon that one of them became ill and had to go home. Yet under torture and pers cution these women have shown mar- velous patience and endurance.” “The Armenians have dramatic ability.

She was older than most of the girls. a woman in character and suffering. She was very delicate and unconsciously ap- pealing and absurdly grateful for any little thing that was done for her. Her appreciation of beauty was very great. Once I took her to see the wondrous mosque Sancta Sophia in Constantinople, with a cl. of girls. She wandered off by herself, and when I found her she was sitting quietly wiping the tears from her eyes, because it was ‘so beautiful.’ Annitza was one of three girls who came from the district of Adana, where the massacres took place to She was a Pro- | | 1909, Trypsime ran off to { Red Cros: eat and sit while waiting for news of their loved ones.

Patient Annitza, with her soft pathe- tic eyes, always seemed to me a type of the Armenian victim. “Hrypsime was not she was a strangely individualized girl, but the product of suffering and revolution.

(Washington Post.) The report that Senator Borah, of Idaho, has stepped aside in the contest for the republican nomination for president need hardly be taken seriously. While it is stated circum- stantially that he wants to aid In the nomination of Senator Cummins, of Towa, he probably is aware-that all { men, reluctant, avoved ani unavowed { candidates, wil be on an equal basis the next republican convention, Even though the so-called progres- sive element of the republican party should unite upon one of their own number for the presidency, it is un- likely that any headway will be made by accentuating the old factional dif- ferences. Mr. Borah in one of his speeches warns the republican leaders not to be too confident because the progressives have returned to the party ranks. He says that the next platform must be liberal, and that the candidate likewise must be liberal, It is significant that the progres- sives no longer specify when they as for a liberal platform. Where Col Roosevelt in 1912 was firing all his guns at the republican party he now directing his aim solely at the democratic party. Southern represen- tation in the nxet republican conven- tion has already been cut down, re- moving that issue between republicans in is candidate is making the slightest ef- fort so far to win the support of the Southern delegates as a nucleus , of power. 1 Progressives and republicans are in harmony on the tariff and military defense. These will be the large is- sues of the nmext campaign. They have dwarfed the differences that split the republican party in 1912. It is significant that most politicians believe that Rosevelt would gladly approve of the nomination of r. Root or former Senator Knox, Pennsylvania, or Senator Weeks, Massachusetts. So would most other progressives. The men opposed by the progressives are those who are weak with reference to military de- fense.
