A MESSAGE TO you
FROM ARMENIA
Tula c. Daniel.

People will ask did we not have
campaign last year for this same
causep To be sure we did and thanks
are extended to all who contributed
what was the object OF the previous
campaign9" To save as many as pos
sible from death by starvation. That
is Just why there is another campaign
now; because so many are still alive
due to your magnificent charity, and
we cannot let them starve now, after
having saved them last year and for
three years previous.
Kentucky and Tennessee have the
orphanage at Aleppo for their share
in this Near East Relief Crusade OF
Compassion. Thousands and thous-
ands of orphans, their fathers slain in
battle, their mothers carried off to
Turkish harems, are left to our tender
mercies.
Mr. Vickery, the National Secretary
writing one of our citizens says the
war is not over in the Near East
relief. Conditions are much the same
as they were before the Armistice
except where they are worse many lit
tie children have but single garment
to protect them form the bitter cold
of the plateaus in the mountain coun-
try. Thousands of refugees persisted
last winter. We would hesitate to even
try and relieve such frightful condi-
tons but for the continued support
of large-hearted people like yourself.
This is written to one who has not
only given once but twice or thrice.
The Lord bless him and his house
hold Miss Higgins says, Humanity
has no limit 1t reaches to the end of
the world and even to the world be-
yond."
She says: ITO adopt an orphan is
sometimes considered quite a job for
an individual but to adopt 100000 is
the job of nation, and great one,
and that is the very job which the
United States is going to undertake
if the drive for Near East Relief ends
as successfully as it started.
THE scheme is unique; it stirs the
imagination for one nation to adopt
and support the entire child life of
another nation which is six thousand
miles away. 1t marks new era in
the history of philanthropy"
Irvington citizens sent us a check
IOT pol.oO anu MI y. II. SldyCOlilD
sent us an offering of $3.50 This
brings the total for Breckenridge
so far up to $1,O4535.
And still there's more to follow.
What about your town?
Perhaps some are reading this who
do not know that $4,000 per year will
support, educate, house, clothe, feed
one pitiful waif in the Near East
That is only $500 per month, you
know. Some could give $500 per
year, some $4,000, some $500, $1,000
or $500. Our county treasurer for
Mr.. B. F. Beard, Asst. Cashier, Hard
insburg Bank Call on him, or mail
this Near East Relief Crusade is

of the work in Breckenridge.

Committee representative when here,

salary paid to our state director. He

In his native land,
He was never vaulted
To high command.

Humblest of his school,

Leaders say Such a Move, If Seriously

Tieup of the Port-other News
of General Interest

The breach between the commercial
interests of New York and unionized
waterfront workers, growing out Of
the transportation troubles in the port
was split wide open with the issuance
by the merchants Of a declaration of
open-shop principles.
The declaration expresses the deter
mination Of the tradesmen to have
their goods moved with union or non
union men, and insists that there shall
be no discrimination against any mer-
chandise whether made or handled by
organized or unorganized workers.
Judging from the expressions Of
various labor leaders who learned of
the business mems action the move is
expected to precipitate a labor war
The union chiefs announced they would
never subscribe to the open shop prin-
ciples. and that if the plans were car
ried out they would result in the com

LABoR's PLAN SUCCEEDS

Labor's non-partisan political pro-
gram has passed the explaining"
stage. Its effectiveness is shown by
heavy scores against the plunder crew
who look upon government as a thing
for private use.
Labor has done more than defeat
senators, congressman and governors
It has impressed r,orkers that this

agitation by smashing a blind parti-

chief of which was the action to be
taken by the club in regard to the pro-
ject to build bridge across the Co

lie.
Members of the special committee
appointed to investigate the bridge
project reported favorably and the di-
rectors indorsed their report The
official statements asserts that the
method of financing the bridge con-
struction through the sale of stock
appears feasible and that it seems
likely that persons buying stock will
receive ana excellent financial return
on their investment. The directors
point out that the construction of the
bridge will divert a great amount OF
tourist automobile travel to the Yak
lima valley, and that it should NEAR
much to the development of this sec.

KEnNEWICK WASHINGTON THURSDAY OCTOBER IA, 1920

the statement that LANCER is traitor
to the nonpartisan league, therefore
cannot be believed.
Taking up the question Of the ef-
feet of the league program in North
Dakota on the farmers, he declared
that if it was so bad as claimed il
was strange that the program should
have been approved by such large ma
jorities in referendum vote. He de-
Tended the program and policies OF
the league against the charge that
they are socialistic, and defied anyone
to find a real socialist who would ap.
prove of what the league is doing.
He defended the tax increases ir
North Dakota under the league re-
gime by claiming that the burden had
been shifted from the producers tc
big business and the public utilities
reviewing some of the changes in the
tax system that have been inaugural
ed.
In rebuttal Thomas read a report
issued by the state auditor of NORTH
Dakota showing that the farmers o1
that state had paid 81 per cent of the
taxes in 1918, and in 1919, under the
league changes in the tax system, they
paid 70.36 per cent of the taxes, while
public utilities had paid 19 per CEN
in 1918 and Is per cent of the taxes
in 1919.
The climax of Mr.. Thomas attacl
came during the last five minutes o.
rebuttal when accepting Mr.. Stallard':
challenge to find socialist who would
say the .non-partisan league is soc
ialism, the newspaper man pointed tx
his opponent and said, "Here is ont
socialist who is evidently in favor o.
the league although in 1917 he evi
dently did not think much Of it,
Thomas then read from letter writ
/ ten by Mr.. Stallard to bis socialist
comrades in Idaho warning then
against joining the non-partisar
league and denounced it as an auto
cratic organization whereas the soc
ialists stood for democracy.
This parting thrust brought roar
of laughter and applause from th'
audience.
