PROVIDENCE IS REPUBLICAN.

Providence looks after the people of the United States during republican administration. If it were not so there would be no protection as the party of big promises and small accomplish ments, legislates to take away from those who toll, and give to the profiteers and captains of industry.
 Bountiful rains, seasonable weather and the practice of industry and frugality by the farmers will bring return of prosperity eventually, in spite of poor overnment-Phoenix Messenger.
 Now what do you think of that? Even provi- dence is against the democracy according to the damaging admission of Br'er Mills. Of course he is telling the truth, so why on earth should a person ever vote the democratic ticket and get in bad with providence?

WHY NEWSPAPERS DIE.

The Wellesley (Ontario) Maple Leaf, an- nouncing its suspension after twenty-one years, has this to say:
 ''The reason the newspaper graveyard is so they had advanced to ITS, and in 1921, the figure was 393. Newsprint from 100 jumped to 177 in 1914, and to 623 in 1921. Newspaper postage, which cost the normal of 100 in 1921, was 147 in 1914, and 337 in 1921. Ink was 100 in 1907, 200 in 1914, and today stands at 331
 Editorial expense advanced from 100 in 1907 to 120 in 1914, and 241 in 1921. Miscellaneous expenses went from 100 in 1907 to 125 in 1914, and to 244 in 1921
 By taking the average of all newspaper costs it was found that while the average or index number of 1907 was 100, in 1914, it was 150, and in 1921 it reached the high mark of All.
 More than 4,000 newspaper publications have thus gone out of existence in the United States and corresponding number of them in Canada"

THE SILVER LINING.

The suggestion of Secretary of Labor Davis is good one. Instead of talking about the millions who are reported to be out of work, let us turn our attention to the numbers who have employment. At present there are about 12,- O0OO0O busy men and women in the country not counting farmers and farm labor. Let us take that encouraging fact as the basis for future effort, and try to add to it until only those are unemployed who are unable to work It is more likely to produce results to look at the affirmative side of a question rather than the negative.

SOMEWHAT PREMATURE.

The delegates to a certain church convention which has been in session in Europe, recently gave blanket endorsement to all the acts of the league of nations. Considering the fact that quite number of countries which are members of she league of nations are at war with each other and no disposition on the part of the league to take cognizance of those wars, this blanket endorsement .s either decidedly premature or the action of church militant.

100000 GREEKS IN
OFFENSIVE AGAINST
TURK NATIONALIST

ATHENS, March 24.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press. )-Greek troops num-
boring 10000 are participating in
the Greek offensive against the
Turkish nationalist forces in Asia
Minor, it is reported here.
The Turkish nationalists are be-
lieved to have about 10000 effec-
tives in the field, but have smaller
supplies upon which to draw.
The most careful preparations
were made by the Greeks in connec-
ton with the offensive which began
yesterday and it is anticipated here
that they will win important posi-
tions with their first drive.
Apprehension is felt here that the
advance of Greek forces east Of the
Smyrna hinterland will throw the
Soviet government of Moscow.
The objective of the offensive is
the Bagdad railway, although Greek
commanders have planned to reach
the city of Eski-Shehr. 1t is af-
firmed that British, French and
Italian armies in the Near East will
not participate in the campaign.
General Selah Eddin Bey. command
er of Turkish forces in Cilicia, has
been transferred to the Smyrna front
to unite the Turkish defense.
For the last two weeks the Greeks
have been landing at Smyrna motor
trucks, artillery and munitions,
which had been stored at Saloniki.
