Did you hear anything of the Ar

Yes, the day when the massacres
reached their height are not likely to
be forgotten by anyone who was in
Turkey at that time. Inc population
was dreadfully excited. and. had they
been allowed to have their way, they
would have murdered all unbelievers,
first of all perhaps the Germans. No
body felt safe. Mad, lawless, shout
ing and bowling bands ran through
the streets, penetrated into the houses
and searched them from roof TO cellar
for Armenians or spies.
"On one of the great bridges ! saw
sixteen Armenians dangling from
lamp posts.

lied that German lives, too, were en-
dangered and TOOK very severe meas
ures. The dead bodies were removed
and every person invading the house
of a stranger without a special permit
from the authorities was punished
with prison. This did not mean that
the massacres were over, but simply
that they were continued under official
guidance.
During the days that followed, even
those on board neutral vessels felt so
unsafe that all these moved from the
docks at night into the middle of the
harbor.
IF the luck of war should appear to
favor the Allies, or if the Germans for
some reason should be compelled even
temporarily to relax their grip, great
and surprising events will take place

TURKS ARE
MUCH DEPRESSED
BY Pae. and InrI New. Service.

BY Pae. and lnt'I News Service.
LONDON, March "A Swedish en-.
gineer passing through London on his
way to Stockholm from CONSTANT
nople gives very pessimistic descrip-
ton Of the situation In Turkey.
The question whether he did not
think that the heir presumptive,
Prince Yussuf Izzeddin. was murdered
by the tools of Enver Pasha, made him
smile. Everybody in Constantinople,
he said, knew that and had expected 1t
to happen for several months, no one
perhaps more than the murdered
prince himself The latter had placed
his last will and political testament in
the hands of nine friends, living in
various parts Of the country.
THE Turkish population" he said,
has no confidence whatever In the
German bulletins of victory and never
had, not even when they were true.
They have always felt that the partici.
patton OF their country in the world
war was nothing more than a gamble,
and as the war is being prolonged
their fears of the outcome are grow
ing fast.
THE numerous visits of British sub
marines to the harbor of CONSTANT
nople created a veritable panic. These
Englishmen,' the Turks said, must be
in league with Sheitan himself, since
they succeed in getting through, no
matter how many rows of mines are
placed outside the entrance TO the
port and then they always know
where the ships are moored which
they want to destroy. Not once have
they made the mistake of attacking a
neutral ship
What Is very depressing is the con-
slant friction between the Turkish
population and the German soldiers.
For some time before left there was
not single Turkish soldier left in
the city and never did an evening pass
without battles between Turkish citi,
Gems and German soldiers in the mar.
row streets of old Constantinople
While the Turkish officers who had
received their military education in
Germany were full of admiration for
everything German. the great majority
of the civilian population sympathizes
with England and France, though they

CORkERY SAW NEED OF FARM
LOAN ACT.

Two years ago some folks smiled
cynically when in all Of my public
speeches throughout this country de-
clared that congress must enact a ru-
raj credits law to help the farmer"
declared Tom Cookery, republican can
didate for congress in a speech before
several hundred farmers at Rice. Stew
ems county, last Thursday night.
Since then. congress has enacted
the very same law which l advocated
single handed at that time. The pres
ent law is good as far as it goes, but
it does not go far enough. l am for
amendments which will make it pos
sible for every tenant farmer to avail
himself Of much needed credit: for a
law that will aid the tenant farmer to
become landowner"
Speaking of prohibition in another OF
his speeches, Mr.. Cookery said:
81 am for national prohibition with
both feet. am the kind of a prohibi
zionist who is ready to 60 out and fgh
to hasten the end of licensed crime. L
elected to congress shall not 81
down and wait for the opportunity t,
vote for prohibition. will 60 down tn,
line fighting to force the issue.
ITO be for prohibition is one thing
to fight for it is another. believe tina
what is worth having is worth fighting
for. If elected to congress l will figh
for a constitutional amendment whic
will Danish booze from the nation"

The democratic press Is trying 10
make capital out of the fact that Cnas'
f. Hughes never voted while MEMBER
of the supreme court. This statement
is made to give the impression that MT
Hughes did not take sufficient interest
in public affairs to take sides IN point
ical contests. This is the regular uemo-
cratic method of deceiving the people
Democratic editors know that rule
prevails among members OF the SUI
preme court to take part in no political
campaign or election, SO that no decls-
ion rendered can be charged to poilt-
ical influence or bias, and hence they
refrain from voting. No man could
have displayed greater honor or nlgner
manhood in adhering to that custom
than did Chas. e. Hughes prior to the
meeting of the republican national
convention. and during its session. he
would give no encouragement to those
desiring to bring his name forward as
a candidate for the presidency ana re-
NAMED as silent as a sphinx until after
the nomination was made. Then, Defore
accepting the high honor that came 10
him unsolicited, so that there might
not be a tarnish upon his record as a
member of the highest tribunal In the
land, he resigned his office. IL there
was any fairness among democrats IN
stead of condemnng Mr.. Hughes FOR
failure to take part in political activ-
tiles during his term Of office, they
would commend him for his steadfas'
adherence to a proper and time hon.
ored custom.

The old democratic plug ugly system
is manifested at republican meetings
where men and women OF that party
attempt to hector speakers. or break
up meetings. This system of procedure
is a sign of desperation, and the prac-
tice has so Disguised hundreds OF faiI
minded democrats that they refuse tC
train with party that endorses such
methods. The only inference to draw
from these bulldozing tactics is thai
democrats see that their cause is los,
and cannot conceal their disappoint
ment. 1t is stronger evidence that th5
democrats are losing ground than any
thing that has occurred during the
campaign.

FOR JOINT SENATOR.

The next state legislature, as it has
been in the past, is going to be strong
ly republican, and II this senatorial
district hopes for any favors, w. A.
Bolinger must be elected for joint SEN
ator. This does not mean that the po-
litical complexion of the legislature
would prevent this district from secur-
ing all the favorable legislation that
it is entitled to, but in this instance
Mr. Bolingers opponent, if elected,
would be incapable of accomplishing
anything, as he has no place among
intelligent men and is devoid of in
fluence and ability. Furthermore, Mr.
Bolinger is not an inexperienced and
untried man in the Legislature He has
served the county faithfully and well
in the house of representatives, and
his record in that body Is an assur-
ance that he would make an equally
as good a record in the senate. With
Mr.. Bollinger in the legislature no
resident of the district would ever
feel ashamed to acknowledge him as
the districts representative. Mr.. Boil
niger has wide acquaintance
throughout the state, which is a great
advantage, and along the lines OF
good roads legislation he is looked
upon as an authority. Through his in
strumentality this county has secured
large appropriations of state road
funds in the past, and If elected he will
be in a position to secure further
recognition for this county, a recogni-
ton that would be out of the reach OF
his opponent.
Mr.. Bollinger is pioneer resident
of Okanogan county. In his business
life he has stood for honesty and in
tegrity, and no word has ever been
breathed against his character. Per-
sonally, he is most congenial gentls-
men, good mixer, and man in whom
people can place confidence without
danger of that confidence being abus-
ed. While in the lower house of the
legislature he commanded the respect
of his associates, and worked earnestly
and loyalty for his constituents He
always supported such measures as
promised the greatest good for the peo-
pie and would again follow the same
course if elected on the 7th of Novem-
Der. 1t is a bonden duty for every re-
publican and progressive to work and
vote for Mr.. Bolinger for joint senator
and likewise every democrat who pre-
fers a clean, honorable, broad minded,
capable gentleman in a legislative Of

Reports coming in from travellers
are to the effect that the roads all over
the county are fearfully cut up. That
condition is due to the continuous dry
spell and the heavy hauling at this
season of the year. Also to poor road
construction. Some day Okanogan
county may have a few permanent
roads, but hardly within the life time
of the present generation unless diff
ferent road construction methods are
introduced and followed.
