MRS. MARTIN (soornfnIlv)-Then
you are afraid to commute Olcott's

GOvERNoR-But the Judgment Of
the press in the main is right,
and, too, they have helped to put
me in my present position.
ARMSTRONG; don't blame you.
Governor; your career is worth
more than the life Of a murderer.
MRS. MARTIN (looks anrionslv at

ARMSTRoNG-You can see the
Governors viewpoint can't you.
Margaret? He has to consider the
many who will suffer, rather than
the life Of one bad fellow.
MRS. MARTIN-Yes, see II. The
Governor himself admits he's
afraid to do his duty.
GOvERNOR-My duty is to please
the majority Of my constituents.
See these kilograms and letters
which have poured in at the
eleventh hour. They tell me not
to weaken; to stand for the public
good.
MRS. MARTIN-Public goodi It's

how feeling ran the week after
the murder. Could twelve men
be found capable Of judging calm

into a passion for blood before the
trial began!
GOvERNOR-Come, Mrs. Martin,
no jury could give less than the
death penalty for such CHASTITY

MRS. MARTIN fclimar of dppeaD
No Jury has a right to condemn

ARMSTRONG - Margaret, you're

tect the weak? Yes, what do we

blindly probe and investigate and
demand vengeance.
ARMSTRONG-We ask for justice.
MRS. MARTIN-No, we ask for 4

one bear the sins Of many?
ARMSTRONG Well Olcott bears
his own sin.
MRS. MARTIN-You're mistaken.
The boy did not plan murder-he
only meant to rob.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

One of the improvements that the
High School has recently made is the
installation of electric lights.
The ice cream supper given at the
High School after the last meeting
of the literary society brought forth
large crowd notwithstanding the
inclement weather. 1t was unfor-
tunate that more cream had not been
ordered as, as there was not enough
to meet the constant demands of the
people. After paying all expenses
SIS remained which will go to the
Home Economics department.
A series of ball games are being
played among the democrats and re-
publcans. So far the republicans
have been victorious.

Near EAST CAMPAIGN
Effort to Raise Funds for Saving Lives
Of the Perishing Armsnians.

The Near East Campaign is now
on to raise funds so badly needed fo1
the Armenians, who have been SO
ruthlessly butchered by the Turks
Gov. A. H. Roberts has the followin
to say relative to this much needed
work:
To The Citizens of Tennessee:
"The atrocious slavery of the
Turks, so inhuman as to almost in
rcedible, has impoverished a once
prosperous race of people and re-
duced their numbers by massacre by
three-fourths.
''Throughout the Turkish Cauca-
sus the Armenian people, who were
the first nation to accept Christian
ity and whof or centuries have been
the bulwark of civilization against
the Turk, are crying to the world to-
day for assistance
These people do not want chari-
ty,-they want an opportunity to re-
construct themseles. They are in
dustrious and willing to work. But
they are without a single resource or
equipment of their own, having been
pillaged of every possession. Uu
less we help them they must disap-
pear from the earth.
-Four million people, half mill
ion of them helpless children, are
looking to the United States for food,
and life.
"The Near East Relief Committee
is undertaking to raise $500,00O.00
in Tennessee. 1t is claimed that the
expense of this campaign will be
oaid by certain philanthropic people,
30 that the full amount contribut d
nay be forwarded to this stricken
people. | give my hearty endorse
nent to this undertaking and wish to
all upon all the churches, Rotary
nd Kiwanis Clubs, and the citizens
f the State to support this cause
lorally and financially. so far as
hey may feel it their duty to do, to !
ne end that immediate and adequate
ssistance may be sent to these de-
erving and heroic Christians in des-
tute Armenia. =.
"Yours very truly,
(Signed) A II. Roberts, +
Governor. :
