THE OTHER Side OF IT.
Ire the ArmenianS Entitled TO Our
Sympathy?
Professor F. Hopkinson Smith Tells
the Story of the Armenian
Turkish Difficulties.

In the ardent character of our sympa-
fhies, which often outrun our Judgment
at first, the American people have
poured out upon Turkey walls of wrath
in the form of sentiment for the treat
ment accorded the Armenians. But
there have been and still are those who
hold that the Mahommedans are not
wholly without justification. 1t Is worth
while at least to hear what may be said
on that side.
Professor F. Hopkinson Smith is a
writer and artist of admitted prom
inence and a Travelled man. Early in
the year he entered a protest against
the judgment that the Armenians are
Iersecuted by the Turks without cause,
and he is now again to the front with
statements which should be heard. 1t
should be stated by way Of preface to
''Record-Union" readers that Professor
Smith exhibits in his writings upon the
subject a good deal of feeling, and is
unsparing in his denunciation of blind
prejudice" as he chooses to call the
sympathy that has been extended to
the Armenian and the criticism to

RACES. / left my wife and a daughter
two weeks in Constantinople and went
away to Venice, feeling sure they were

Professor Smith thinks the troubles
will continue. The Armenians will con-
tinue to plot and make the Turks fran
tic, and then mobs will gather and
fighting go on. Il expect to hear any
moment of attempts to blow up Embas-
sizes or Turkish schools, and then the
Armenians will rush off news to rouse
the world against the Turk. Over one
half the public offices in Turkey are
held by Christians. This does not look
as if the Sultan is illiberal or held ami
mostly towards Christians. Why the
land on which Roberts College stands
was present from the Sultan" and he
gave largely from his purse to found
and maintain the college.
The remedy for all the troubles is. in
Professor Smiths judgment, to leave
the Sultan alone, and he will pull
through. Keep English and American
pathos out of the matter Do not shout
at the Sultan. Let him manage his
own affairs. Do not make martyrs of
the bomb b-throwing Armenians. Do not
hold the Sultan responsible for every
death by violence. AS we'll hold the
President of the United States respon-
sible for murder in the BoWery, New
York If the English and American
