- ENEvA. - Among the slave
marts of the Middle East,
7 where a goodly number of the
~ five millions of human beings
now held in bondage are
bought, sold, and traded, countless
dramas are enacted - dramas and
tragedies which mean nothing there,
but which weigh heavily in the bal
ance of so-called international
morality.
The Kingdom of Irak, carved out OF
Turkish territory after the World
War, and now ruled by the Emir Fei-
sui, or admission into the League, as
a result of the recommendation of the
Mandates Commission and the request
of the British government, will be
pledged to abolish slavery, just as
Abyssinia was pledged to wipe out the
infamous traffic In human bodies when
Adds Ababa was granted full and
complete political equality" with other
nations when Abyssinia was taken into
the League few years ago.
Ethiopia has not lived up to her
contract in the intervening years;

slavery is a social and religious custom,
will be able to carry out similar

none but the faithful being admitted.
The Mandates Commission, however,
has been informed auSloritatively
that the trans-Red Sea traffic yearly
approximates 10000 men, women and
children. The recent discovery of an
island slave market indicates much
wider scope than hitherto believed pos
sible with the slave patrols Of Britain,
France and Italy ever on guard.
Agents Of the market were found in

Now and then witchery charges have
been brought into the courts, recent

Jugoslavia. where young girl sued an
elderly woman for false representation
in love charm. The young woman
lost her army sergeant's love and she
went to the old woman OF the village,
she told the court, and paid all her
monthly savings numerous times for a

and consumption of the mystic potion

ROOSEVELTIS STILLINLEAD
DESPITE SMITH STATEMENT
But if Ex-Governor, Despite Passive Atti'
tude, Commands Certain Delegates, His
Strength Would Be Formidable.

Roosevelt's strength in the West must
reflect this type Of thought. The Demo-
cratic voters of that territory must
think that Roosevelt is their kind Of
man.
But can this be so? II Roosevelt is
the kind of candidate the extremely
progressive West wants, can he also be
the type that the conservative East
wants? Is 1t in nature that Roosevelt
should carry these Western Democratic
primaries Overwhelmingly, and also
carry the primaries In New England?
At this moment it Is completely taken
for granted, it Is almost settled pro-
gram, that Roosevelt is to have the
delegates from most of the Western
States by kind Of acclamation Of COM
mon consent. How can that square
with his getting the delegates Of the
conservative East? Most Of these West
ern States, perhaps all of them, are
going to send delegates to the Demo-
cratic convention pledged to fight for
a silver plank in the platform, like
Bryan's 1896 one. There will be in the
convention a formidable fight for sill
yer, and If the fight for silver as a
specific financial remedy is lost, there
will be another for some other form
of cheap money"
North Dakota Primaries.
How can this demand Of the Demo-
cratic West for free silver be consistent
with the support Of the same section
for Roosevelt as the Democratic NOM
inee? It is unthinkable that Roose-
welt should be for free silver. If it
should be thought that Roosevelt is
sympathetic to any kind Of cheap
money" he would, with automatic Ger
tainty, lose New York, either In the
nomination or the election.
The precise extent of Roosevelt's lib
eralism on economic questions may
come to q head in the North Dakota
primaries. In the Democratic primary

Y Smiths statement Of his
position, it is possible, so to
speak, to make preliminary-and
very tentative-blueprint OF the field.
Franklin Roosevelt continues, as he
has been for some two years, in the
lead. Whether Roosevelt's lead will be
materially reduced by Smiths an
no,incment of willingness to have del
egates elected in his behalf will not be
apparent until the primaries in large
Eastern States where Smith sentiment
Is strong.
There are conditions affecting Roose-
velt's candidacy that make experienced
observers doubtful about its essential
strength. Roosevelt, although Governor
of New York, has come to be primarily
the candidate of the West. Further
than that. he is more the candidate of
the South than of his own section, the
East
Strength in the West.
The 13 westernmost States of the
Union are more or less committed to
Roosevelt. That looks like strength,
and on paper 1t Is. but there is some
thing about 1t which IS, so TO speak,
contrary to nature. Those Western
States constitute the most progressive
portion of the Democratic party. The
Democrats in those States are, If one
except the avowed radicals, at the ex-
treme left of the American electorate.
They express themselves in the Senate,
for example, in the person of Wheeler
of Montana, who once ran for Vice
President on third party ticket. and
is now advocating free coinage of sill
ver in precisely the same terms as Will
liam Jennings Bryaf's 1896 platform.
and In the person Of Senator Dill of
Washington, who. Is almost as extreme
Is Wheeler. These two, Dill and Wheeler,
are ardent for Roosevelt. They have
rnised their voices in his behalf more
often and more strongly than any other
Democrats Of equal rank. Presumably,

Among the League and Labor ONCE

a man who accompanied slave raiders
on an expedition into Africa. It gives

The Arabs explained that the native
AbysSinianS were much too lazy to
compete with them In the traffic.
Mussulmans from the Hedjaz, Yemen
and Assir are the greatest traders to-
day, so far as the Red Sea littoral is
concerned.
When the AbyssinianS controlled the
territory nearer the Sudan" says the
report, their trade was easier. One
could find men. women and children in
large numbers for sale. Long caravans
were dispatched toward Arabia. Now
these provinces are conquered and the
slave supply is diminishing In fact,

The paramount chiefs Of the terri

caravans pass demand tribute and pro-

often fought when traders seek to
evade this expense by detouring through

The desert route Is hazardous ut

pay tribute instead.
Two Methods Used.

slaves by two methods, purchase from

If the saying is true that .the first hundred years are the hard- est-then the 60-year-olds Oike myselD are fast coming into their own.
 What a relief it is-after years of effort to appear beautiful to sit back in our mellow age and rest from our labors.
 However, some elderly women don't appreciate this period of ease, and continue to struggle with exterior beauty methods-not realizing that our beauty comes from within.
 They SC about with gayly make up faces that only emphasize their lost youth. They dash their lips with red and strive to hide their wrinkles by surgical methods !. giving artificial reflections in place of middle aged contentment.
 To them I would suggest a comfy lelaxation-a passing on of the paint pots to the younger generation-,a relying on good old soap and water with bit of pow der for their beauty needs. By shedding our struggles, we have an opportunity of being natural and naturalness and simplicity is youthful.
