near east, the German armies began

The Armenians outnumber the
Turks. They are more intelligent.
They admit It themselves. The Turks
are the ruling race, or have been the
ruling race. This fact has enabled
them to make odious laws affecting
'J the Armenian population and to take
•76 ! from them wealth they have accum-
ulated.
Now what's the matter with giving
to all the people of Armenia the right
to govern themselves as it is done In
a republic? Surely the Intelligent
race would be able to hold its own
in the political plot that would start
to boil.
We don't know just how the thing
would finally work out. The two
races hating each other and the rich
petroleum section of the country with
the covetous eyes of the oil magnates
of the world turned toward It would
present problems that should be solved
at home.

comes from within. You can't im-
pose a program from without and get
away with it The rulers of Austria
tried that years ago and made an in-
glorious failure. Armenia should be
allowed to work out her own destiny.
We feel sure that the superiority in
numbers and in intelligence would
turn the scale in favor of the more
worthy race.

TOE BERGDOLL, CASK.
Discussing the recent escape from
Philadelphia ot Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, notorious millionaire draft-
dodger, the Philadelphia Record re-
marks:
"On the surfaco of things Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll owes his escape
from military custody to a combina-
tion of favorable circumstances. Chief
among these are tbe persistence and
amazing success of his counsel in :*o-
Uciting favors from the War Depart-
ment; the remarkable credulity of tho
army officer who Issued the necessary
-permit for his joy-ride in search ot
burled treasure; the Bcandalous laxity
of the arrangements for restricting hie
liberty during the trip, and the unex-
ampled incompetence of the guards
who were detailed to accompany him.
But these are only the superficial fac-
tors that favored his escape; the one
baste factor Is his enormous wealth,
Which, If it did not actually buy his
fcwdom, consciously or unconsciously
influenced his custodians in granting
hlis exceptional favors and bought
the services of the confederates who
arranged and participated In the dc-
'lails of the flight."
Bergdoll Is still at large ar.d if he

rols as convict just as successfully at
he evaded military duty. The two
guardaji whose confidence he was
somehow able to win and who were
betrayed by this moral cowr.rd, will
kave to pay the penalty.
That is partly right, but If the pun-
ishment stops there—if those nigher
up responsible for this stain upon the
record of the war department are not
apprehended and sentenced—it will
be all wrong. In the escape of Berg-

Sometimes a manflate is used as a
mask for the purpose of getting con-
trol of a nation's resources. Many
think that this is why the United
States Is urged to take charge of Ar-
menia. The Standard Oil company
may desire to take the mandate but
this would be Inconvenient. It would
be easier to get officials of the United
States government In charge and rely
upon a fellow feeling to assure domi-
nation by the American oil company.

tho Armenians should be taken by
either the Turks or the people of any

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
Politics and Taxes.
Having no fences to fix. Secretary
Houston deals in a slashing manner
with the proposals of congress to lay
added taxes to pay the soldiers' bonus.
Inquiry was made of the secretary by
the chairman of the Ways and Means
committee regarding a retroactive 80
per cent tax on war profits. The
combination of a bid for the soldiers'
votes with a tax as a bid for the anti-
business vote was worthy of the sort
of politics common in a presidential
year. Now, the secretary frequently
has to ask accommodation at the
banks because congress keeps him
short of funds, and he replied: "I
think it would be highly unfortunate
for any new obligations to be placed
upon the treasury through the enact-
ment of the bonus proposal in' any
form, however financed."
This clear and courageous reply
ought to be a bid for the votes of
those who see tbe connection between
good finance and good politics As
now proposed, the bonus plan retains
a surtax of 68 per cent on Individual
incomes, besides taxes on all users of
tobacco, all dealers In grain, or buy-
ers and sellers of stocks or real es-
tate. The sentiment which is thought
to make those taxes popular is not a
sentiment to be encouraged. The «8
per cent surtax Is closer to confisca-
tion than like taxes in any country.
Its effects have been traced in depres-
sion of trade and reduction of public
revenue. These are serious considera-
tions at a time when the treasury Is
facing near maturities for eight bil-
lions of war paper. For those who
look ahead only a few months. Instead
of a year or two, there Is warning In
the secretary's suggestion that it is

CENTRAL TEXAS PRESS
RURAL SCHOOLS.
A report from Brownwood states
that of the twelve one-teacher school
districts in Brown county which were
without special state aid, eight have
already decided to either issue bonds
or levy special taxes to meet the re
qulrements. The spirit with which
people are rallying to the support of
the schools In this emergency, Is in-
deed gratifying and commendable.
The public proves Its appreciation
of the value of good schools and it
demands better salaries for the teach-
ers and better facilities for the school
work. Especially important it is that
the one-teacher schools be remember-
ed at this time. They perhaps suffer
most from a situation like the one
the schools now face and if any dif-
ference their continuance is most im-
portant of all.
Despite the well advertised unrest
that exists and all the knocking and
complaining tfcit is being Indulged in
by some, the public is right on the
job meeting Wery demand placed up-
on It Congress did break down
sometime ago and has been dragging
along without power, but the public
is still responsive to every appeal that
is worthy of consideration.
If we would stop talking so Vnuch
j about unrest and refuse to give pub-
licity to it in our conversation, we
might find that St is not as bad as it
seems. And if we should cot live so
high for a time' it might even influ-
ence the high cost of living. But as
long as we spead and sputter lndis-
cretly we boost the bad situation
along. It is reassuring to know that
the public Is doing business at the
sume old stand and is backing the
schools to the limit.

BASEBALL.
The fancy of men of all ages has
turned to baseball this summer. It
seems. Irrespective of age, size Or
previous knowledge of tbe game, many
new players huve appeared this sea-
son in the city leagues that have been
organized in several Central Texas
towns. Out Ballinger way for in-
stance the married men and the
singles have just completed a three-
game series that was packed with
thrills.
The married men picked off the
the first game by a score of 11 to 2,
the singles made It 18 to 1> In the
second and the third game ran to
eleven innings with a tie of 3 to 8.
Bag-gelt, who pitched the third game
for the married men, ploughed until
four o'clock In the afternoon and
then pitched 11 innings, fanuing twen-
ty-fivo batters.
It is a great democratic sport. Near-
ly anybody knows enough about the
game to stand on the sidelines and
root for his team. In many of the
towns the various classes of business
men have organised teams arid in
many instances old veterans of the
trades have been drawn out of their
offices to scramble for a front place

"It says here that hot water is the
best medicine in the world," remark-
ed the Old Fogy, as he looked up
from the newspaper he was reading.
"Huh!" grunted the Grouch. "May
be that is why married men live long
er than single men."
Good Breakfast Food.
"What kind of breakfast food have
you?" the dyspeptic traveling sales-
man asked the rural New England
waitress. "We've got all the reg-lar
kinds," she said, "ham and eggs, fried
stead, fried bacon, griddle cakes,
doughnuts an' apple pie. What'H it
be?"—Buffalo Commercial.

the belt Buying was mainly done on the

the market declined under selling, due chief-

the real buying movement of the dity set In.
Much short covering came upon the mark-

was stimulated by the nearness of the Me-

Chicago, 111., May 17.—Disaster said te
have been suffered by the Australian wheat
crop as a result of drouth had a notable,,
bullish Influence today on the corn market
here. Closing prices of corn, however, were
unsettled, varying from 1»4 cents net decline
to 1% cents advance, with July Jl.98% to
•1.68 and September 11.56% to |1.U%.
Oats finished % cent to 1H cents down.
In provisions the outcome ranged from 41
cents decline to a rise of 2J4 cents.
Previous to notice of tlie Australian fail-
ure, the corn market had been weak owing
to gossip that more corn wa» being offered
by rural shippers than hod been the case
before weeks. After the Australian news
becam« current, however, the buylnt side of
the corn market showed unusual snap until
the last hour. Then heavy sales to realise
profits made price* sag.
Ideal weather for growing tended to fa-
vor the hears In oats.
Provisions were neglected and most of the
time rated heavy.

The report In yesterday's poper of Indict-
ment by a federal grand Jury of the Ameri-
can Woolen company of New Tork and
Boston on charges of profiteering gives Jo.t
cause to believe that the prediction ef the
seers Is coming true ahead of time, as fore-
told la the horoscope ot May 14: "Dls-
cleeures concerning trusts, which will be
made early In autumn, will have a great
effect In bringing about a better balance of
prices."

New Orleans, I*.. May 27.—Affected by
the very low private monthly crop condi-
tion reports making their appearance In nd-
vance of the government crop bulletin, due
June 1, the tendency of market remains up-
ward.
Results of returns. Issued today, are ss
follows: Memphis Commercial Appeal, con-
dition 66.4, little change In acreage, sales
of fertlliier Increase eight per cent; South-
ern Products company, condition 19.9, lo-
cal commission house 66.5, Increase In acre-
ago one per rent.
The danger In 1he market Is that the
trade Is being educated to anticipate a very
low figure by the novcrnmeut next Wednes-
day.
Ordinarily an average an average condi-
tion of the crop of 70. would be bullish
since indications are for little or no Increase
over Inst year's small acresge, whereas pri-
vate reports Issued so far range from 92.9
to 99.9. - ,
Contributing to the further rise In values
today were reports ef rains in Oklahoma
and Texas. Tbe crop situation in the inter-
ior is such tliat a long period of dry, warm
weather Is needed to permit completion of
planting and to chop early plnnters to •
stand. The return of wet weather would
likely cause more excitement in the market.
Evrepe ie gradually becoming impressed
with the unfavorable prospects for the
American crop.

New Yerk. May 27—Trading In stoek*
fell considerable under the recent average,
but the undertone cf lhe market was steady^

rc spouse.

New Orleans, L»., May 27.—A moderately
good demand developed In the cotton market
today from continued very bullish estimates
of the condition of the crop, another pri-
vate bureau coming out with 62.8 per cent,
or the same figures Uiat attracted so much
attention yesterday. The Memphis Commer-
cial Appeal report of 66.4 Increased the de-
mand while the other reports W firms la
the trade, one of 49.6 and the other ef 99.9
wese considered fbw euough by most traders
ef Irallteh Inclinations. The danger etlll
exists that the trads will look for too low
a report frem the government end because
of this ws re peed our advice to let long
contracts as when tbe market looke too
strong and replace the eotton on the, soft
spots.
Weather conditions over the belt generally
are somewhat better snd the indications
sre that Improvements are taking place,
but It will take a long spell of fsvornble
weather to overcome even a portion of the
damage that has been done te the crop.
New York, May 97.—Today's private crop
report were a little more favorable but early
reactions were followed by renewed firmness
