TURK WORLDS
HUMAN BUTCHER


\ Gladstone, the great British com
moner said that more men had beei
slaughtered in the Balkan states b,
the Turks than We're alive.
The hast half century. during which
civilization has made. tremendous
progress and even war has becom,
less inhUman. has seen no lessenine
of Turkish barbarities. -.
| Bulgaria has been the scene OF
massacre after massacre: tho most
horrible happened in May 1875. when
| the Turks burned 65 villages. slaugh-
tered $4,000 men and boys. and car
ried off 10000 Bulgarian women to
exist in slavery.
Eight years before. the Turks left
a bloody trail throughout Servia and
Roumania, and carried many captives
back 10 the Turkish harems.
In 1860 Christians throughout
Asiatic Turkey. were murdered In
tered in and near Damascus between
the ninth and eleventh of July.
Two years before every Christian
male at Jedda was slain. and the
young women made slaves.
In 1894 the Turks fell on, the Chris
tian Armenians and wiped out whole
villages, and repeated their outrages
at the massacre of Sasoui and
Talori, 1904, when 5000 Armenians
were killed In a night. 49,
I'm 1896 more than 1000 Christians
were slaughtered in the streets of
Constantinople. rE
Since 1876 more than $4,000 Ar
menians have been murdered by, the
Turks, and nearly that many .Alban-
ian girls have been enslaved
Just three years ago, on April IA,
1909, the Christians of Anana, Mer-
sina and Tarsrs were made the vic
tins of Turkish brutality. In three
days and nights $4,000 Armenians
Greeks and Syrians were slain their
homes laid desolate; their wives
daughters ard sisters penned in
Turkish narems.
In June. 1911. a large body of flee
ing Albanian women and children
we're caught betwees two wings Of the
Turkish army and killed.
Most Of the reports Of Turkish
atrocities made TO the great European
powers by their own officials are un
printable.
The most recent massacre was on |
sept. 9, 1912-a month ago-when Two |
villages were pillaged and /
hree- furths Of the male Inhabitants |
we're killed by the Klrds, a tribe kim
lrcd to the Turks, and who have been
;iven police powers over the Arme-
lians by the Young Turk government.
Long before the Turk made his ad-
'ent into Europe, in 1856, he was
Christians and violating
women.
!, His 'uncivilized rule in Europe real
began with the fall of Ccnstanti-
ople. when the city was stained with
he blood of helpless Greeks and
laws. More than $4,000 Greek womer
nd girls were carried back to Asiatic
turkey; the old, to become slaves: the
ounger to be Gagged in harems. Anc
e is still the same old Turk.

this are dangerous.
AS FOR the Democrats they have
been tried and found wanting. Facts
and figures taken from the official re-
ports Of labor conditions in 1893 and
1894, Democratic years, are astounding
to the average working man who has
not experienced hard times.
The other day at Grand Rapids,
Henry j. Eikhon, a Detroit man. talk d.
ed to The employees of a big furniture
factory about these things. His talk
was one Of the most convincing we
have yet come across in this cam
paien, because ne ignored generalties
and got down to brass tacks, giving
facts and figures to show why he is a
Republican.
Here's what the government reports
tell us" he said I'm 1853 and 1894
there were 81 idle factories in AIichi.
gan and there were 572 more of them
running only part time. The total num-
Der of operatives out of employment

labor in days Of &c hours each due to
the working but part time was 7O6.67e
and the total loss in days by reason of
men being laid off entirely was 1885,

IN the five months between September

Of the $4,000 VINO are not working at

compete with your labor. See what the |
government statistics say about condi. |
