Write it on your,heart that every day is
the best day in the year.-Emerson
The Armenian Muddle.

A S MUCH as our sympathy must be with Ar
~ menia it would appear that the President is
entering upon dangerous course in his un-
dertshng to negotiate between Bolshevik Russia on
one side and Nationalist Turkey on the other, with
Armenia in between.
Russian Armenia, where o5 per cent OF all the
unmassacred Armenans of the world are now
located is now part of Bolshevk Russia, and the
FIRST duty of that negotiation will be to ask the
Bolsheviks to withdraw from the control of this
area
1t does not seem likely that Trotsky and Lenine
will receive the American ambassadors with great
JOY IN the face of the Presidents oft-repeated an
nouncement of the determination to have no trans
actions with these asSassins.
So far the Turkish side is concerned, 60 per
cent OF the state of Armenia is now occupied by
Turks. The sArmenians have all been exterminated
except few thousand and their places are being
taken by Turkish settlers.
Nothing short of several divisions of troops
could secure the resettlement of the Armenians in
their homeland and nothing short of a continuous
support OF troops could maintain them in that set
tlement against the majority of the Turkish popu-
lation.
1t does not seem likely. that the Nationalist
Turk, who is at with the entire allied world,
will be any more amiabfe than the Bolshcvik
The predominant thing about Armenia is that it
cannot be put'upon its feet until decent govern
ment is re-estabished in both Russia and Turkey
Concerning the Bolsheviks, it may be said that
they are very likely to insist upon maintaining in
every state Bolshevk government, upon which
they can impose such rule 1t is likely they will
take kindly to setting up capitalism in any country
at the request of the President. Furthermore, as
they have common cause with the Turkish Ma
tionals, they cannot have independent state dom-
mated by their enemy system lying between them
and Nationalist Turkey.
When the American relief administration with
drew from Armenia the first OF last September
they left the Armenans possessed of good harvest
and full food supply for period of from eight
to ten months
In y the meantime Armenia appeared to have
turned Bolshevik, not only from desire of protec-
tion from the Turk, but Bolshevik propaganda has
been in process for years and it would be worth
inquiring whether or not they have a desire to re-
turn to the capitalistic system.
If they have such desire, further support to
her national ambitions, the American government
providing them with food and clothing would seem
to be futile, fer Bolshevism has not yet demon
straed itself as inspiration to self-help on the
part of its believers.
Even sympathy and sentiment should scarcely
go so far to support a population that does not
exert itself for protection from Bolshevik Russia

C0c0anut Oil: NOlD Used

enormous quantities. During the
last year 345.7s7.s1s pounds Of this
oil were brought into the United

The oil is largely used as a cook =

substitute for cod liver oil, beinp

There's a Silver Lining"

There can be no doubt that the American farmer
is realizing less than cost for his harvest at the
present prices. He is rghtfully dscontentcd He
IS also the prey of the ever-pfesent demagogue
with his powerful panaceas. In the meantime there
IS just a chance that prices may turn in his favor
In the uncertainty of the market the consumers
have held off from laying by the usual amount of
-four. The mills have not purchased their usual
stocks of wheat. The British government, which is
largest export buyer, has not been in the mar
ket since last July.
All of these factors have depressed the market
and its downfall has been no doubt helped by specu
lative action On the other hand, the amount of
and the British government will sooner or later be
compelled, to enter this market for very large
quantity of wheat.
and retailers less than normal A considerable
part of the crop has already been lquidated and if
the other nations buying for export continue in our
market, and if the British government enters the
market, we may sec rising prices. and upon rising
prices the consumer is usually buyer.
1t is not out of the bounds of possibility that we
may see the same phenomenon in wheat that we
in hogs in the winter of 1910. Then the Food
Administration had the utmost difficulty in defend
ing the minimum of $3.50 per hundred because
foreign buyers wished to deprcss the market But
after the surplus had been disposed of by the actv
ties of the administration, and the British and allies
again entered the market they found themselves
compelled to pay much higher range OF, prices
than would have been necessary had they not en-
deavored to obtain the better of the American
farmer.

After all, safety week means only enc thing
OF actual importance. This is that the public is
ready and willing to be made safe That they will
accept safety regulations That they will uphold
their enforcement. That they expect their public
officials to act.
Certain changes in traffic regulations and safety
devices have been recommended The authorities
are instructed by this safety week, to formulate
from all of these what is most effective; what will
make the streets safest and interfere least with the
orderly flow of traffic.
They also instructed to put this better sys-
tenn into effect not time, but soon pos
sible. Many people always of many minds.
But the Commissioners few and should easily
reconcile differences to agree upon what their own
agents recommend.

here sooner later. 1t should offer to all Of
them, many of whom are unfamiliar with the some
what confusing flow of city traffic, not only safety
but example of the perfect handling of that
traffic. In all such things Washington can best
repay the nation at large for its generous consid-

The Power of the Boost.

California is supreme example of the power OF
the boost. Its hotels are ovcrrun and people in

day or SO and then set their faces for California
Times there were when a visitor from London

spirit OF California has changed all this, and now
there is rush of Forty to see the land of
perpetual sunshine.
All this has been done by boosting Californans

Californians have made boosting pay dividends
just as any other State with the same spirit can do
What can be done by State can be done by city.
We may tire of the Caifornans' peans of praise

Civic pride is citizens crowning virtue. No

A Many-Sided American.

No other man in American public life was as
many-sided Theodore Roosevelt. No other
American attained distinction in so many fields of
activity. MI. Roosevelts accomplishments in any
OF half dozen lines of effort would have
brought distinction to any other
As a rancher in the West he lived the life of a
pioneer. AS writer he left list of books without
of which private library is complete. AS
a naturalist his knowledge aand research were
equaled by few specialists.
AS soldier he renown. AS promoter of
peace he awarded the Nobel prize. He hunted
big game in regions seldom visited by white men
and discovered unknown river AS preacher
of righteousness no other was more effective.

he model for all Others while diplomat,
executive and statesman he world renown,

collect and compile the complete record of the life
of such a What revealed in his letters to
his sons was unknown, to his family, until

as yet Of a ghost coming TO life.a
This blue law ghost cropping up at

American citizens and. bearing that
proud title. would like TO con-
vince these misguided brothers OF
the utter nothingness Of this comiql
opera scheme OF theirs.
II may be that in the good old
days" people were perfectly happy
to sit in a chair and NOPE and call
IL rest, and whether the young peo-
pie and children liked the idea or
not, they were supposed 10 smother

days Il seems TO have been the fssh-]
ion to have the Kaiser" or a kin
and when the Kaiser took IL into Id

good old u. s. A, in the grand q

fossils who would strangie human
liberty in the name of religion are
false to their creeds, as true religion
recognizes human liberty. These
same old "what-nots" would do well
to keep the good old days "stuff"
and not attempt to interfere with
the new joys of the new dsy"
which young people insist on en-
joying TO their hearts content. One
OF these new joys is the right to
use Sunday to rest" as one likes TO

boat ride on the river. a swim. a
baseball game. a movie, a picnic. a
spoon in the park. or in fact. any
thing that tends to bring Joy. hap

all.
Gay youth is pleasing sight to
enlightened people. Life is the great

loves to see His children full OF the
JOY and real pleasure OF living all

pleased TO see life vibrant with
pleasure, sparkling with the Joy Of
