CLEAN OUR OWN HOUSE
FIRST.

1t is more important that the
daily work Of the nation should
cease to be a fight and become
cooperation than it is that our
travellers should be respectfully
treated by porters, walters,
couriers, journalists and govern
ment officials when they go
abroad. It is more important
that we should find a way to
bring the average family wage
up to the level of the minimum
decent standard Of living than
it is that we should exercise in
fluence in the council which ends
the war. The latter would be
magnificent, and it is not ex-
cluded by any domestic program,
but it is not our first business
as a nation. Our fraction of the
earth's surface is of infinitely
greater concern to us than all
the rest of it. Even if we are
to play a large part in the af-
fairs of the greater world which
it is to be hoped we shall, we
must build our influence for JUS
tice abroad upon justice at home,
and our influence for peace
abroad upon peace at home. We
must get the cobwebs down from
our own ceilings and the dust
from under our own beds before
we go out to houseclean Crea-

grizzly bear story. Y
"A famous grizzly-bear hunt
er gave a dinner, and one of the
guests told of a bear hunt that
he had once shared in with his
hist. It had been a remarkable
hunt. The bear had been killed
under almost incredible difficult
ties. Although his auditors
looked skeptical, the narrator
did not spare them any of those
difficulties. He counted on the
host, you see, for corroboratioA
"Then, when he had finished
his strange but perfectly true
tale, he said:

early summer of 1862 He held by the
wizardry of oratory an outdoor audience
of several thousand people from the be-
ginning until the end Of a speech which
must have been of at least an hours
duration. After he had finished, some
twenty young men who had stood in the
audience came forth and put their names
to the enlistment books that were opened
upon a desk that stood upon the plat
form upon which Mr.. Dickinson stood.
When It was known that Hannibal
Hanalin would not be renominated for
vice-president, much enthusiastic re-
sponse to the suggestion that Daniel S.
Dickinson be the nominee for the ONCE
was heard in many parts Of the East
In his career he possessed many special
qualifications that were thought neces-
sary II superior candidates for vice
president were to be nominated. Chief
among these was the fact that he had
always been a Democrat and very in
nuential one until the war began. The
politicians were anxious to nominate for
vice-president war Democrat.
In the convention Dickinson received
the votes OF a hundred and fifty dele
gates. and II he had been supported by
the New York delegation he would have
received the nomination instead Of An
drew jackson. There were personal ami
nosities and some political intrigues
which defeated Dickinson's nomination.
Had he been nominated. he and not An
drew johnson would have succeeded Alb
ra aham Lincoln as president.

The Case Against Turkey.

The "unspeakable Turk" has rarely shown a
disposition to meet this government IN frank
diplomatic manner. Whenever questions OF more
or less gravity have come up for settlement, our
representatives not infrequently have found 1t
extremely difficult to reduce the discussion to a
working business basis. On many OF these occa-
sions the Ottoman foreign office has shown itself
to be especially adept in diplomatic sidestep-
ping and all resources OF Oriental indirectness
have been employed to avoid to postpone a
prompt understanding.
Since the participation OF Turkey in the war,
this high-handed disregard for the rights and
privileges Of neutrals has been marked
than ever A recent instance OF the violation
of American sovereignty which will probably
appeal to our State Department for speedy con-
sderation has come to light through letter
written by DR.. E. G. Tabet, secretary of the
Beirut Reform League, Moslem-C Christian or
ganzation formed some years ago to promote
the betterment of conditions in Syria. When
Turkey decided to go into the war, the French
consul at Beirut turned over his papers to the
United States representative at that point and
left the country. Among the papers left in trust
with the American consul was petition to the
French government from the Beirut Reform
League, asking French aid in checking the brutal
efforts of the authorities at Constantinople to
cxterminate the Christian Syrians.
Recently the Turkish authorities made forci-
Bile entry into the American consulate at Beirut
and rifed the French archives. which were under
the protection of the seal Of this government,
and carried them away, the Beirut petition among
them.
A court-martial was instituted at once and
all of the signers of the stolen petition were
sentenced to death, one of them, who fell into
the hands of the Turkish authorities, being put
to death without delay. Thus far, the other
signers have managed to eude the vigilance of
their prosecutors.
insolence and contempt for Western ideas of in
ternational privilege. That it is only minor
reflection of the spirit which is responsible for
the crime against Belgium does not give it stand
ing in the court of popular agreement. There is
no specious appeal to kultur to national ex-
pediency which will sustain it for moment
1t is simply absolutism at its very worse, and
not tolerate. 1t is the eliminating outrage of
a long series of Turkish insoences against this
government and it should be dealt with as
such. The Turks have long terrorized over
Americans residing in the empire and have re-
peatedly destroyed American property Are they
to be permitted to regard our nonnterference
in this Beirut matter-the forcible entry into
our consulate and the seizure Of papers held
IN trust for another nation-as a still further
reason to doubt the compelling force OF Western

By virtue OF an order recently signed
by the President. a special aeronautica al
reserve for the army is established which
will have sufficient trained fiiers and
mechanicians to provide a squadron for
each Of the twelve aeronauucal divisions
Of the National Guard. Any civilian may
joint this reserve If he can display the
necessary flying skill and mechanical
ability.
The recommendation for the creation Of

this important branch into service. and
his order brings to the aerial reserve no
less than ~ officers and 200 enlisted

may begin without delay. The adjutant

INSURANCE.

If so be you'd insure your life
Against the shafts of earthly strife,
An easy premium to pay
Is just a bunch OF smiles each day.
A smile at dawn to greet the sun.
A smile at eve when tasks are done,
And in between, from nine to four,
Keep doling out the smiling score,
And every bit Of fearsome care
Will vanish into thinnest air,
For woe forgets her cruel wiles
Before the spirit armed with smiles.
