DENIAL DOESN'T DIsPRovE.

It is but natural that the conditions which arc reported to exist in Ar menia should arouse widespread indig- nation and sympathy, but it is even more deplorablo that reports which come from sources of authority should meet with absolute denial, and it Is not likely that the state of affairs in that part of Tufkey can be covered up by any such effort to discredit.
 The plight of the Armenians has long been known by the missionary or yanizations which have representatives m that locality. Fresh attention was attracted thereto by the action of tAm- oassador Morganthau, who interested himself in their behalf and advanced he idea of raising a large fund for he purpose of taking those people out If that country and away from the Jcenes of slaughter. Such a suggestion would not have been made unless they were being il1-treated. The president If the Armenian association says that his country cannot begin to realize he reign of terror that is existing in Armenia and good ground for his tatements are furnished by the ap- zeal of Lord Bryce of England that his country use its influence upon sermany to secure relief for those peo- he who it is claimed have been killed Q the number of a half million, women

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Right is the Best Law.

MT. Editor:-After the war what. Most likely a defensive alliance for all the European states will be the outcome of this last great war among them. A certain section of these warning nations who trusted in the power of might to conquer and rule all the world. as we'll as the remain ing ones who believed only less fin the power of arms and armamenta, will thus be led to see that the broth hood of man is the basic principle of all permanent peace. Awful as the present experience of Europe is. it has probably hastened by hundreds of years the universal acl1nowledg- ment and adoption of rhe principle that right. not might. fs the best law for the welfare of nations. Then why prolong Ca years carnage has been decisive of nothing) an unnecessary and useless conflict, that can only re- suit In the exhaustion of these self same powers and the century-lonE misery of the great masses of all these psopies2 If a new Hague Con- ference were to sit continuously un- til the peoples of these countries compelled their rulers to submit their differences to It's decisions, peace might come sooner than anyone would imagine What greater role could America have than to be the first tc take this decisive step. and work for 1t necessarily until its futhllment came2

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

"Semendria, where the shells from Austro-German batteries fell In pre- paratioE for the Teutonic drive toward the Golden Horn, is one of the first commercial towns of Servia," says a war primer just issued by the National Geographic Society. "Servsa is an agricultural country. Pigs and grains are its ranking exports, and the great CT part of the Servian export in pigs, and almost all of it's export in cereals passed through Semendria in peace times. Its trade has been done chiefly with Vienna and Budapest. Among It's exports are a superior white grape and delicious wine.
 There is an interesting tradition connected with the grapes of Semen dria. It is told that the Servian Prince George Brankovich brought cuttings of the grape vines of Semendria and planted them upon his sunny estates in Hungary, when he became the lord of Tokay there. This transplanting of the Servian grapes took place in these imported vines that Hungary's famous. spicy white wine, Tokay, came. Thus, the little Servian city is the great ancestor of the Magyars' best known product, the fiery, aromatic glass from Hungary which is prized | by connoisseurs the world around. "Semendria lies upon the Danube, between Belgrade and the Iron Gates. It is distant about 30 miles southeast | from the Servian capital It is said | to stand upon the site of the Roman | town Mons Aureus, and lengend has it i that it's famous grape vines were planted by the Roman emperor Probus. | Therefrom 1t may be seen that the royal wine had an imperial beginning, | and the perfect product of today can boast long and glorious past.
 At one time. a powerful fortress guarded the approach ito the ofty.
 It was a thick walled, triangular
 structure, said to have been built in l 1430. and for a long time it was the
 distinguishing feature of the small place and the river crossing which ii guarded. Semendria has been under attack several times in the course oi its history, and one battle of great inn
 portance took place here in 1411, when | the Turks forced passage into Hun- gary through a Danube choked with the bodies of the heroic Magyar de- lenders.
 ''Semendria has often been a fav.
 ored residence of the Servian ruler
 and from 143o to 145e 1t was the capi-
 tai of the State. The town has a plc-
 turesque setting upon the broad river
 here narrowing for it's passage of tn,
 Iron Gates just below it. The coun. ty around 1t Is broken and wooded. The

STANDING FOR LAW AND JUSTICE

All eyes are for the moment watch ing Utah and the outcome of the tre- mendous effort which is being made to save the life of man named TIill- stron. who has been tried and convict ed of the murder of man and his son and is under sentence of death Great pressure is being brought to bear upon Governor Spry to get him to commute the sentence to life Imprisonment and as is customary in such instances these appeals vary from the petition of those who are moved by sentiment to make such a request to those that threaten the life of the governor if he does not comply with the demands. It is even asserted by many anonymous letters that just what is being asked in this case has been done in other instances and unless the governor acts in accordance with the desires of the petitioners he will be watched until opportunity presents itself and ven- geance will be silent. quick, sure and sharp.
 Governor Spry has not been fright ened by the manifestations He stands firmly against such action even fol- lowing the communication from the state department which made inquiry at the solicitation of the Swedish gov
 ernmert of which Hillstrom is sub- ject, because as he asserts no doubt existed in the minds of the convictine
 jury and no reason for extending elem-
 ency can be found by the board oi pardons.
 It would unquestionably be the cas- l fer way for the governor to commute the sentence, but he stands for the law and justice. He is not disposed to lend encouragement to murder ana | it is time that those who seek to teal down the administration of the law in this manner were given to under. 1 stand that they are powerless.

The season of the night school is close at hand. This means an oppor- tunity for a large number of young men and women who never received the advantages which they should have in the way of an education, those who failed to appreciate the import ance of a fun common school course, or those who need and lack a knowl-. edge of the English language to make up for thelr shortcomings.
 Night schools have been appreciated from the very start and many are the cases where those who have attended them have been greatly benefited, not only by learning to read and write, in which direction winter evenings have been put tp valuable use. but in get ting a broader knowledge of the ele- mentary studies, all of which make inn portant contributions to better cit izenship.
 The opening of the night school should therefore make it's appeal to everyone within the limits of the town who can be helped thereby Under the management of the town board and with an efficient corps of teach CTS and comfortable quarters there are offered inducements which cannot be ignored if there is any ambition what ever to make up for lost opportuni- ties. Those few who cannot but who frequently feel that they would give anything to know how to read and write, no longer have an excuse for this deficiency, while those who need to and are anxious to get instruction in English to meet daily requirements in their employment have themselves alone to blame if they fail to avail thsmselves of the advantages afforded by the night school. It should have full registration from the opening to the closing night.
