vate estates to meet the land hunger
of the peasants without the necessity
Of forced appropriation. Outlining
these plans, Minister of Agriculture
Stichinsky said Monday evening that
the government already had at its dis
posal 25,000,000 acres, composed of
100000 acres of crown arabic land
situated largely in the Volga region;
6,250,000 acres of clearable forests and
8,750,000 acres Of private estates, the
owners of which have announced their
readiness to sell.
Without doubt thousands Of other
land owners will be only too anxious
to dispose of their holdings at reason
ahIA nrices These lands will be sold
70 peasants on time through the pea
SAINTS bank, the payments not COM
mencing for several years.
The programme, in addition to colo
nization of Siberia and Central Asia,
contemplates the improvement Of the
agricultural methods of the peasantry,
which are primitive and unproductive
in the extreme. and for bringing the
peasants. whose gregariousness leads
to their gathering in villages and
even in towns Of population as high
as 10000 nearer to their lands.
A rude awakening from the minis

Chicago. May 29.-Coal operators in

have agreed also to indemnify the OPP

the action of pit committees in calling
unauthorized strikes. This latter griev

still possible. Several official notes

Help For Armenians.

Once more President Roosevelt
has been appalled, to, to exert
himself in behalf of suffering
humanity, this time the call com
ing in the form Of a petition from
Europe in the interest Of the
Armenians. The petition is
signed by many prominent
statesmen, clergymen, teachers
and business men. The Presi-
dent is asked to take steps to
bring about concerted action by
the powers to stop the oppres-
sion of Armenians IN the Otto
man empire.
Ten years have passed since
the powers last attempted to
force the Porte to suppress the
cruelties Of the Hamidiap, Kur-
dish and Tartar bands, yet blood
shed continues. Within the last
few months, or since the serious
internal troa bles started in Rus
STA, the Armenians in Russian
Armenia have taken the aggres-
sive and have murdered, mu-
tilated and tortured their former
oppressors. It has been reported
that they were supplied with
arms by Russian officials, but
whether this is so or not, they
obtained the arms without any
trouble. 1t is human to seek re-
venge, however dreadful revenge
may be officially considered.
But the points that the power
full western peoples should put
an end to governmental condi-
tions which make possible such
oppression as the Armenians
have suffered or such retaliation
as the Armenians have recently
been engaged in. 1 President
Roosevelt can induce the powers
to act in this matter, he. will de-
serve the praise of all civilization.

Two Gents a Mile.

Under the belief that two cent
fare bills are to be introduced in
the Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
legislatures, the railroads operat-
ing in those states are planning
to offset the reduction by elimin-
ating all special privileges, such
as are granted to clergymen, all
charity tickets and all excursion
tickets. It is said that only one
railroad in the state is earning
two cents a mile on it's passenger
business, when the special priv.
ileges are considered, and to
even matters, all travel must be
put on an equal footing if two
cent laws are enacted. But is
not maxim N rate Of two cents
likely to increase travel?
