A 9-YEAR OLD BOY
WALKS 1900 MILES
An Armenian Lads Pitiful Story
Reaches His Father in Kan
sas City.

The first news in four years from
his ~9.year-old son has just been re.
ceived by G. d. Yeghisheian, an Ar
menian, 1921 Central street. Kansas
City. Ycghisheian left his family in
Armenia when he came to America in
1913.
The Yoghisheians lived i'm the little
town Of Cosarea in Asia Minor, &C.
cording to Mrs. Rose Kallaiau, owner
of a little Oriental rug shop at 1921
Central street. who told Yeghisheian
story. Then came the war and the
Turks were urged to Guido themselves
in trightuucss by the Germans. Veg
hishcian's father was one OF the first
$50 men of the town TO be murdered,
the letter from the 9.year-oid son said
lie was a priest and wore "a long, white
beard, which the Turks pulled out,
hair by hair, until the Old man died
Of agony. Two sisters of Ncghisheian,
his brothers wife and children an,
II OF his TWO sons were driven away
with other Armenians.
That was in 1878. For ncaly four
years the family wandered, travelling
l,5OO miles on foot. At last, in No
vember, 1918, the family arrived at
AIeppo. syria. and two days later were
fed by the American relief committee.
AS soon as travel is permitted. Veg
hisheian hopes to bring his son to this
country.
This is but one personal instance
close to us, that describes the present
condition OF the Armenians. The fore.
going story can probably be duplica-
ted in horrible detail in thousands OF
other cases. Ambassador Morgauthau.
former United States representative in
Turkey. has gathered personal ac
counts from eye witnesses Of the
Turks reign of terror which are on
file with the State Department. These
accounts fin several volumes. There
can be no doubt as to their authen

By William Howard Taft
Now why the need Of money
for the Armenians? You know
their story? Abdul Hamid was
the Sultan Of Turkey. He was
the Sweet-Scented individual who
in 1896 deliberately directed the
killing of 100000 Armenians.
Who are the Armenians? They
are one Of the oldest Christian
peoples in the world. They liv-
ed in a province that lies north
Of Mesopotamia, east of Asia Mi
nor, west of Persia and south Of
the Black Sea. 1t is d province
of mountains and valleys-not
only rich but fertile. 1900 900
Armenians lived in that country,
cultivating the valleys and made
them blossom as the rose The
Turks hated them because they
were industrious, and enjoyed
the prosperity that comes from
industry.

Grade Crossing Accidents

AS the perils of life multiply,
some of the older hazards cease
to seem so ominous. Formerly
railroad grade crossings were re-
garded as one of the great dar-
gers of community life. In thicks
" settled districts the railroads
spent great sums of money to
reparate grades. But today the
swiftly moving automobile in
town centers is probably an even
greater peril than the railroad
grade crossing.
The growing expensiveness OF
construction work has checked
the movement to abolish rail-
road crossings at grade. While
many of thse crossings arc ex-
ceedingly dangerous and should
be done away, yet the public
must learn to use more caution
and it is not possible to remove
all perils.
The use of automobiles has in
creased the number of grade
crossing accidents. Motorists
/ thing their speedy machine Will
\ get them across. But they fail to
realize how very little time 1t
\ takes a locomotive to cover dis
tances like an eighth to a quarter
of a mile.
Automobile drivers dislike to
stop and listen after the ole
fashioned way. Speed is theil
motto, they dislik any Interrupt
ton. It seems a bother to bring
the machine to a standstill ane
change gears up to- their usua
| speed again. They cross safely

Labor's Conservative Stand

From the noise that has been
created by the l. w. w. people,
the Anarchists, Reds, and other
disturbers, it has been feared
that their demoralizing ideas had
obtained a large hold in this
country. When you see some flan-
mel mouth bowling from a soap
box, filling the whole square with
his lung exercise, the assurance
with which he speaks gives his
words an Importance that they
do not possess in reality. The
people who listen are not CON-
monty adherents, but mere curio-
sity seekers.
1t was confrmatory of AM
erican common sense, that the
American Federation of Labor at
its convention recently closed at
Atlantic City, should have turn
ed down |. w. w and communis-
tic proposals with such an over
whelming voice.
A good test of the strength of
l. w. w. ideas was given on the
proposal to permit the workmen
in industrial plants to choose
their foremen. That was one of
the fanciful notions that be-
deviled Russia and Frustrated tie
country in misery. At the A. F.
of L. meeting it was beaten 20 to
/ vote.
The American workingman
has accomplished great gains
through the levelling up process
of the war. He. does not propose
to have spndthrifts and idlers
seize his Liberty bonds and his
savings bank deposits as COM
munistic property.
However this does not mean
that the anti-bolshevist cam
paign should relax it's vigor.
Europe is badly infected with
this poison, and much of it has
found its way over here. The
basic truths of sound economics
should be patiently communicate
ed to people who have never con-
sidered them, through all the
channels of popular education.
But the spirit of the Federation
or Labor shows that the working
masses have Intelligence. When
you appeal to thei reason and
judgment, they can see the hole
in tn milestone as we'll as anyone
else.

The Country Church

AS modern conditions change,
the problem of keeping up coun-
try churches, of securing funds,
workers, and enthusiasm, grows
more difficult. Many churches
don't pay a decent salary, and it
is difficult to secure settled pas
tors.
The growth of a more intelli-
gent religious attitude removes
old prejudices to their work If
governed by an enlightened
policy, the churches of Sisseton
can be a greater factor in develop
ment of the community than
ever before.
Their first mission is to preach
the Christian gaspel, to con-
vince the world of the reality of
the spiritual universe, and that
there are things more rwarding
than money. But the majority of
people can not be won by mere
preaching. Some tangible re-
suits, beneficial to the community
must be demonstrated.
The country minister devotes
less, time than his predecessors
to study of books, and more time
to promoting rural organization
He takes hold, so far as limited
time and strength permit, of any
thing that he sess needs to be
done, whether it is engaging in
public school work, promoting
an improvement society, forming
a farmers club, developing gard.
ening and domestic arts among
children or anything else. Coun.
try ministers are no shirkers. II
they fail to accomplish results, il
is usually because they don't get
backing.
The usefulness of rural chur.

ches has been prejudiced by the
division into rival sects. Where
ever there are more churches
than the field can support, there
should be a consolidation. The
rural church should make itself
the center for every helpful
community activity, and if so,
there should be no trouble in
raising funds.
