A New Com m ssion of lndustries

Where? In the most unlikely place
imaginable, and the personel of the
organization consists of strangely di-
verse elements. The Commission was
formed not long ago in the city of
Adana, Turkey, for the purpose of de-
veloping native industries and supply
ing the needy people with work Among
the fifty men who form the official body
are the mayor, the chief of police, the
president of the criminal court, leading
merchants of various races, the British
and Persian consuls, Armenian bishops,
Gregorian priests and a director of the
government tobacco monopoly 1t was
picturesque scene when they gathered
for the formal opening of the work, the
ecclesiastics in black caps and flowing
garb touching elbows with the young
English consul in silk hat and frock
coat, or an old Moslem teacher in white
turban and fur-lined coat near neighbor
to plain American. The seat of honor
was accorded to the new Turkish COVER
llol VI Ille province, VINO mas lnlUaUeQ
so many practical reforms that old
Turks are sitting up and rubbing their
eyes. Nearly every one was putting
away at cigarettes which Turkish Ell
quette offers as soon as guests arrive,
and before business came also the serv-
ing of coffee, whose excellence was at
tested by loud slipping of the lips.
Then several of the men produced
strings of beads which they carry to toy
with when the fingers are not busy.
This is said to quiet the nerves!
One of the speakers, the head of the
military force in the city, said that "serv-
ice to humanity is the only thing of
permanent value in human life" Shades
of Mahomet! what sentiment to fall
from the lips of a Moslem! Both this
officer and the governor paid a high
compliment to the president of the new
Commission, saying that in his hands
the enterprise would be administered
with perfect integrity" something al
most unknown in land where bribery

and corruption have reigned supreme
for centuries. The government has
entrusted him with $4,000 as capital
for the enterprise, and he also serves,
without pay, as president of the Inter-
national Relief Committee and on all
the government relief committees. Be
sides this he has established a hospital
which is open to all, so far as limited
equipment and capacity will allow.
This capable administrator is an Amer
lean, Rev w. N. Chambers of Adana.
For Turkish governor to give public
recognition to foreigner and a Chris
tian missionary at that, to put so large
a sum of money into his control and
subject to his order, is an act without
precedent and of great significance.
The particular industries already
started are Oriental embroideries and
lace work, and many beautiful articles
were on exhibition this opening day.
The necessary training in needlework
had been given by Mrs. Shepard of
Aintab, whose husband is one of the
ablest physicians in Asia Minor. After
the speeches and more coffee the
Turkish officials seemed as eager to buy
as women at bargain sale in the
United States. The counter revolution
last April cost the lives of 25, 600 men.
and laid in ashes much of Adana, Tarsus
and the surrounding villages, thus
throwing thousands of helpless women
and children upon the community. The
Commission is a sign that the Young
Turk party is determined to bring har-
mony and prosperity to that unhappy
country, and is grateful for the practi-
cal assistance of American mission
aries. There are branches in other
parts of the province.

About Newspaper Advertising.

You look to the newspaper for your
news. You no longer have to depend
upon your acquaintance and friends
for news-as the ancients did. You
wouldn't feel that you knew what was
going on in the world if you had to get
your information at first hand-if you
had to go around and see things for
yourself and ask questions and ferret
out facts. You depend upon the news
paper to do all that for you-and to
give you the correct results in the news
of the day.
The same conditions exist as to store
news. Every store is important to you;
but you haven't the time to visit every
one of them every day. Nor can you
depend upon your friends to give you
the news about them.
But the merchants make that I'M
necessary for you. They collect and
present to you in convenient form the
store facts, the store news. They do
for you essentially, what the editorial
end of newspaper does for you in the
matter of keeping you posted about the
world events.

Dr.. Cook AGAIN.

DIR. Cookie who is supposed not to
have reached the North Pole-is not out
of the public mind yet. According to a
current news item an expedition by way
of balloon is to make a search for the
data which he claims to have left on Mt.
Mckinley. The item reads as follows:
1.-TWO members of the party who are
to make balloon ascension at the base
of Mount Mckinley next summer in
search of Doctor Cook S data have been
decided on according to John Berry
They are DR.. George B. Schwartz, of
Edwardsville, Ill. and Paul Mccullough,
of st. Louis. The latter was Berry
assistant when he won the cup at Indian
apos last year.
Berry has told something of his plans.
He says:
'ln the party there will be from five
to eight men. The start from st.
Louis will be made May Is and the rail
journey will end at Seattle. From there
boat will be taken to Sydney Station,
on LOOK Inlet.
From there we will travel by small
barges or pushboats to Lady May lake
to within 80 miles of the base of the
mountain. Here we will make a camp
and wait for favorable opportunity to
make an ascension and come down on
top of the mountain.
TO me it looks certain that this can
be accomplished. We will have every
device known to aeronauts for making
success of the trip and we will also be
kept in touch with the world below by
telephone. F. R. Mott has already
sent me a complete telephone equip
ment to carry in the balloon, reeling out
light insulated wire as | go up.
1t seems to us that if the ascension of
this mountain is ever made it will be
accomplished on foot and not by balloon.
But it is to be hoped that in some way
sufficient data may be found that will
prove DR.. Cook not to be such fakir as
he is generally believed to be at the
present time.
And it might be asked in this connec-
ton, what has become of Walter
Welman's proposed visit to the Pole by
means of a balloon?

Middlebury College is to be again
congratulated, this time because it looks
as though the funds to erect a modern
gymnasium would be Forthcoming. A
recent appeal for aid in this work sent
out by President Thomas resulted with
in few days in six thousand dollars.
Now comes Ex-Gov. j. G. Mccullough
with the generous offer of twenty-five
thousand dollars provided the remainder
of the fund of sixty thousand is raised
by next Commencement. 1t looks like
a stupenduous task to raise so large a
sum in so short time, but we think we
are safe in predicting that the amount
will be forthcoming.

DR.. THOMAS AND HIS FUND.

President John M. Thomas of Mid

plish things worth while for the institu-

TELL HIM WHAT HE ASKS.

Everybody should be satisfied with
the proclamation issued by President
Taft on behalf of the census enumer-
ators, pointing out the manner in which
the facts will be gathered, and pledg-
ing the government to keep secret sta
tistics received from individuals. That
the findings will be made public only as
whole is reassuring to one and ALL
The work will be difficult enough for
the enumerators in any event, and
whether you like it or not, answer the
questions when they ask them. Re-
member that they are only performing
duty, and that when you give inform
alton desired, you are merely fulfilling
the necessary requirements. Smile and
give up and everything will be all right.

The death of Representative Perkins
of New York leaves Representative
Foster of Vermont the ranking member
of the House committee on foreign af-
fairs Mr.. Foster is not in favor with
Speaker Cannon, however, and there is
much speculation in Washington as to
whether the ambition of the Vermonter
to occupy first class Craftsmanship will
be gratified. One report is to the effect
that the Speaker intends to appoint
representative DENLY of Michigan, who
is now the fourth member of the COM
mittee. Mr.. DENLY is one of the young
er congressman, being just under, but
he is Cannon's personal friend and it is
claimed that he has a wide knowledge
of foreign affairs, gained through asso-
citation with his father, who was minis
ter to China some years. If Mr.. Foster
is superstitious he may not care for the
place, anyway. Misfortune seems to
follow the head of the committee on
foreign affairs about as persistently as
it strikes the wearer of the Hope dia-
mond. Representative Hit of Illinois,
the committees most famous chair
man in recent years, died of broken
heart following his failure to receive
the vice presidential nomination; Mr.
Adams of Pennsylvania, who succeeded
him, committed suicide on account of
financial reverses; Representative Cous-
ms of Iowa, who came next in the list,
was forced to leave Congress owing to
i'll health, and Mr.. Perkins of New York
had held the post but comparatively
short time when he was stricken with a
fatal malady. Vermont Phoenix.

1t would be only Square DEAL if
the mischief making politicians and the

real or affected suspicion of having
some third act climax up his sleeve. -

selfish, penurous, sordid side of her

phasized to the exclusion of her woman

That New England congressman and
other active Republican politicians feel
bound to support the postal savings
bill, because President Taft desires it,
is to be expected. But that ex-Na-
tional Bank Examiner Frank L. Fish of
Vergennes, should feel called upon to
advocate the measure is altogether sur
prising. His recent address before the
Berkshire Bankers association appears
to have been rather lame and labored
effort to bolster up the project and in
striking contrast to Mr.. Fish's usual
clear and logical conclusions. 1t is
probable, however, that he handled the
matter as well as possible, but there is
no good and sufficient reasons for the
