EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND REASONS.

Armenia has turned Bolshevik, according to a
dispatch from Moscow. 1t is possible that the re-
port is not true because the soviets do not stop at
a little thing like lying when it suits their pur-
poses.
But assuming that it's true, there are extenu-
ating circumstances in the case of Armenia
For centuries her people have been cruelty per-
secuted by the "unspeakable Turks while Europe
has sat idly by and let the massacres go on.
Missionaries were the only ones who up to a
few years ago, seemed to care what happened to
the Armenians. But Armenia, being the Oldest
Christian nation in the world, did not need mis-
sionaries although its tormentors did. What this
plucky little nation needed was food and clothing

He Thinks It's Worth While.

Editor Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal,
Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir:-Allow me to answer
your editorial of the 4th inst. I'M
der the heading SIS 1t Worth
While" you "believe that human
life is worth more than a speedway
championship"
1t seems to me that you are look
ing at this question from a wrong
angle. If we only look at these e2-
hibitions as 'mere exhibitions, ="
you might be right, but l believe
that is not the case. 1t is to the
different races that we owe the
automobile of today. These races
caused emulation. They were in
centiye to the different manufac-
turers to make stronger and better
ears, to find the thousand and one
perfectiens which have been the
apanage of the automobile industry
from year to year. To the auto
mobile races we owe the cord tire,
They are not merely exhibitions,
but also a school where perfection
is always sought.
And this does not apply only to
the automobile industry. ] firmly
believe that more bicycles are sold
each year, after the six-day race
of Madison Square, than at any
other time of the year. I do not
call these spectacles mere exhibit
TONS" but campaigns for the diff
fusion of an idea"
Should we stop the practice of
the art of self-defense. which is
boxing, because some fighters
have lost their lives while boxing ?

AS the People View 1t"

Shall we look upon the efforts
made by our aviators, while the
art of flying was in its infancy, as
exhibitions or as propaganda of
daring precursors? For a, long
time some people look upon. the
looping the loop" in aeroplane as
an acrobatic feat. while it has
proven since to be most valuable.
For during the late war our avia-
tors had to loop the loop in order
to strike at or avoid an enemy. The
same thing applies to flying a ma
chine without the use of the hands,
Were they stunts or the efforts
of some far-sighted men who real
lied that. some day, a flyer would
have to abandon the levers of his
aeroplane in order to use q rapid
fire gun? Do we look upon the
| flying across the Atlantic by Brown
and Alcock. in a little over sixteen
hours, as a "stunt" or as the dar-
ing attempt of two pioneers who
had in mind the perfection of the
art of flying, and foresaw what
will soon be an accomplished fact:
regular aerial service between
the new and old continents?
So let us look at the speedway
races as the efforts of men who
have faith in their convictions and
try to perfect different inventions
still in infancy. Let us admire
their courage. their abnegation,
their consistency in order that we
may benefit by their ceaseless eff
forts, and let us not forget that the
Liberty motor" was created on
the speedway by the collaboration
of untiring and inspired engineers,
and those whom we call the dare
devils" Yours very truly,
LEOPOLD MEYER.

The idea has possibilities. we
do hereby request contributions.
They may be signed with initials or

and scope of treatment will be
without restriction. OF course, we

No limit will be set upon the
length of contributions, In a gen.

more than four columns, We can
not promise to publish first novels
or Daisy Ashford journals.
Any of the standard tricks will
be tolerated. We will even coun-
jtenance the device of sending in the
first stanzas of poem and asking
under a fictitious name if any OF
the readers of the column can sup
ply the authors name and the bal
ance of the poem, in order that you
may send in the remainder of your
original and hitherto unpublished
poem duly signed for publication
next week.

EDITORIAL GRATITUDE.

One of the certain things in the
life of every ambitious scribbler Is
! the rejection slip.
The phrasing Of this document Is
a source Of never-ending amaze
ment to me. Here is one begin
ming:
THE enclosed contribution is
returned with thanks. We have
greatly appreciated the opportunity
of examining this material and
hope you will kindly submit more
of your work"
Then there is the rejection slip
which declares: THE enclosed
manuscript Is returned with
thanks. Through its present lack
of form, we find it unsuited to our
immediate requirements. We are
glad to have had chance to ex-
anime it and
Somewhere you will read, in
every rejection slip, that great Joy
was occasioned when your little
waif came drifting into the edi-
torial rooms. 1t would appear that
a manuscript readers occupation
was one of smiles and gladness
from morning to night.
However, from reading my ac-
cumulated rejection slips, 1t seems
to me that | have suffered more
from editorial gratitude than from
ingratitude. | would prefer that
someone would not be so pleased
but more appreciative.
For instance, the following would
be an ideal letter to receive after
the submission Of manuscript:
Against our WILL we accept your
contribution. We are sorry you
sent it. but you shall be paid"

alone, tenting in canvas shack,
far from cheerful mart and street,
water running down his back, and
his sideboards full of sleet. And
my uncle, when he went to oppose
the hosts of Spain, had no vision
of this tent where I'm sitting in
the rain. And the rain comes in
a flood, with a flourish and a
rush, and my ears are full of mud,
and my shoes are full of slush.
