The refusal of the Turks to provide

measure of self respect thereat, is
not misunderstood. The Turks want

relinquished any of It unleaa under

similar character by the Irish,
with no semblance of the same rea-

!, there were many Instances of
prejudicial effort made in this coun
try to bring it about. Societies were
organized for that purpose and many
dollars pledged to aid the movement.
England has given Ireland all of the
rights that any of Its dominion 1 have.
The Turks refuse to grant even this
incesslon to the Armenians. It may
be possible to take it away from Tur
key by force If necessary and grant
the Christians a free land In which
they will administer their own law,
and be responsible to the League of
Nations. Otherwise there Isn't much
chance for the Armenian to escape
the massacre of the Turks. Killing
the poor Armenians is a sort of
tlonal pastime with the Turks und
they are loath to give it up. The)
probably regard It with the same de
gree of fervor as we do baseball, oi
as the Spanish do bull fighting. Ai
any rate, the Turks don’t want t:
give it up and won't unless the na
tions of the world have couragt
enough to see that it Is done. If they
don't, part of the responsibility will
rest with us instead of the Turks for
this deplorable and disgraceful con
dition.
HONEST BUSINESS.
There have been many eulogies to
John Wannamaker, but none more
potent and interesting than that he
amassed a great fortune by honest
business, strict and unswerving ad

Rule. When Mr. Wannamaker first
started his career he Instated that
everything be as represented, not one
iota different Trom what it really was.

Advertising was his hobby and it
was a campaign of business ethics
that he conducted, which has been
widely copied and extensively fol
lowed. None have more nearly ap
proached the Ideal of business hon
esty and none have profited mor-:
than he has by this policy. When
business grew with Wanamaker In
his great stores In New York and
Philadelphia he bullded them
larger by advertising. When people
saw his advertising they knew

It requires some strength of charac-

yield here and there to the little
temptations. But It takes more'cour

TURNING THE TABLES
Somebody will be trying to buy

Instead of trying to save It from
the junk pile—Thomasviile Times-
Enterprise.
That's the truth—let It alone and
you’ll hear something of the prosper
ity of this line. We never saw hon
est effort fall—It never will. Some
times men tackle the Impossible, but
Is rare. The men who are mak
ing the A. B. k A. go will cause It to
earn its way If there is no outsldo
tcrference.
It makes ua shudder to think
what this railroad has been through
in anarchy—butchery, murder and de
struction of property—and that here
in the heart of the south—a section

who stuck to their posts and labored
—every one of them. They have de-
sorved it. They are industrial heroes
—sure as they live. Where they have
stood to their posts of duty and la
bored iu the midst of the most un
usually obstructive and costly handi
caps, others might have surrendered
and slipped away to less dangerous
grounds. Whatever the A. B. k A. be
comes will be fn great measure tdue
to the courage of the men who have
brought It through Its trials.—Cordele
Dispatch.
"FOR OBLIGING SERVICE.’’
The will of a Terre Haute woman,
probated a few days ago, provides for
the gift of $7,000 to a postman for
"continuous courtesy and obliging
service," says The Portland Journal.
The postman's work was rou
tine. But he was always ready
to go out of his way to do a fa
vor. He was providing service
day in and day ouL He was seek
ing to please. His work was no
ticed and appreciated. His re
ward came in the lady’s will.
U is not hard to give serv'ce. 1
is not hard to serve with a smile. It
is not hard to oblige most people. And
it brings its reward to business and
to individuals alike.
Many a business has been built
large proportions on a foundation of
service. Customers come .back when
they are pleased. They buy where
they are saved time and annoyance.
Their patronage is the business man’s
reward.
The mall carrier’s $7,000 Is a sam
ple of the reward for individual serv
ice.—Suvannah Press.
“ANGELS COULO DO NO MORE.’’
"Here lies Alkali Ike. He done hit
damdest. Angels can do no more.”
Those were the simple words I read
last summer. "He done his dawdeat.
Angels can do no more."
How simply, yet fully they deaertbe

Today the modern bank is a

their progress upon the pa
