NEAR EAST RELIEF WORK

During the first week in Febru
airy meeting was held in Aberdeen
in the interest OF the relief of the
war sufferers of the Near East
There We're representatives from
ten counties at this meeting, and
among them several from Roberts
coun ty. Other meetings in other
parts of the state are being held and
the state is being organized for this
work
Since the return OF the delegates
from the Aberdeen meeting reports
have been given in the churches of
the city, and on last Friday the dele
gates that had attended the Aber-
deem meeting met with the pastors
of the city, and county chairman
was chosen in the person of Mr..
Swanberg, and he is now busily en-
gagged in organizing the townships of
the county preparatory for the real
presentation of the work.

Pile of the east were under the cruel

These people are still suffering be-

most entirely perish if they do not
receive assistance to keep them going
until another crop can be harvested.
In order. to supply them with food,
and seed and the necessary means to
produce this crop financial cam
paign is being put on in the United
States to raise relief fund for
them.
You will hear more about is be-
fore the close of the month, and il
is hoped that every friend of human
ity will be able to give some real
help in this great cause.
The Armenians who are the prin-
cipal sufferers to be relieved are a
very remarkable people. being the
first nation in the world to accept
Christianity, and i'm intellect and
character they are far superior to
the people of their immediate sur
roundings. They have been the
victims of more Turkish atrocities,

any other people in the world. If
the present readjustment of world
affairs will give them chance, and
deliver them from the Turk they
will develope into a splendid nation

THE sENA1E's BLINDNESS

The senate has passed the Cum
Minis, bill containing the anti-strike
provision. This. is unfortionate. 1t
indicates that the senate is, in some
things at least, afflicted with blind
ness.
The senate. in the Cummings bill,
seeks to legislate as the old Grmany
would have legislated. s.Verboten
was the national watchword in old
Germany. Government was forever
putting MNerboten" signs all over the
place. This, that and other was for
bidden.
But Germany found out that ma
tions can ont live by ''Verboten" a
lone. There has to be something
else. 1t was ''Verboten" that demo-
cracy win the war, but it did, just the
same. Progress and justice and lib
erty go right along winning OVER
blindness and stupidity and AFRO
gance and reaction, in spite of signs
on which is written thou shalt not y
The Cummins bill anti-strike pro-
vision is piece of arrogance and in
justice. II is undemocratic. 1t is
wrong-t won't work.
Labor noesnt demand the right to
strike because il enjoys striking. 1t
demands the right to strike because
it finds that at times the strike is the
only means of securing Justice. The
Cummins bill ignores fundamental
facts, as we'll as elemental justice.
The Esch bill adopted i'm the house
omits anti-strike provisions. That
gives promise of failure of the Cum
minis bill provision ultimately. How
ever the recent conduct of the SEN
ate in this and other matters makes
the utmost vigilance necessary.
The right to strike must be main
tanned for the sake of human pro-
gress and for the reason that this
is a democracy, maintained until now
at some considerable cost and pointed
to with some considerable pride by
something like 100, 100000 persons
