The history o. Armenia is not cheer
tul reading. With the exception of oc>
easional brief periods, the Armenians
have been almost continually under
some foreign rule. Assyrians, Babyio
mans, Modes. Persians. Macedonians,
Romans. Parthians. Saracens, Mongols
and Turks have each in turn dominated
the country, and of all these successive
foreign yokes the present one. that Of
the Turks, has been the longest anS
the heaviest. The highest activities of
the Armenian people today are not to
be found in Armenia proper, but rather
In the marts of prominent cities the
world over. This is especially notice
able in Constantinople. Smyrna and
other cities Of the Levant. where the
marked aptitude of the Armenian in
business enables him practically to
dominate the commercial situataou
One example is the oriental rug trade
which is practically controlled by Ar
not only in the east itself, but
also In many western countries. sArgo

It IL 8 noticeable fact that Senator

Grouse that business is too pressing
In Washington TO be out In South

faction Of the republican party. The
excuse of business will answer, but
we would be willing to wager almost
anything that II 1t bad not-:.been
necessary for the legislature to white
wash the senator before re~-electing
him he would have been back in the
state using his efforts to help the
now losing faction. It Is admitted
that 1t would be poor politics to
place the senator on the platform,
where he would be the target for
some embarrassing questions, for it
is not likely that the citizens would
accept the same answer with refer.
ence to his grating proclivities that
the legislature did. At the same
time the incident has not been lost
sight Of, and since that day when
tie Insurgents stnlt!fed themselves
~ electing the senator the faction
has been losing support. 1t is Only
just to themselves that they shoula
lose by 1t. They had been preaching
reform for a year or more and the
presumption was that they would
commit no act Of which they would
have reason to be ashamed. but right

BE- wondered at that some insurgents

believe that better things could o ig-
mate from a class Of men who

There is this difference between
the republican candidates for state
treasurer: Geo. j.. johnson en-
phaslzes the fact that If he is elected
that he will not take the interest on
the state funds, but will turn the
same hack into the state treasury as
the law demands. Mr.. Cassill, the
present insurgent treasurer. does not
say anything about turning the
interest back. For the year and
more that be has been IN the
position, he has plofted to a very
large extent by taking nom the
banks where the state money is
deposited The interest which accrues
on the money. Mr.. Cassill is too
expensive d treasurer, and Mr..
johnson will be the means OF saving
500, 900 each year that he is in the
Office OF treasurer.
