AMERICA AND ARMENIA

President Wilson has accepted the invitation of the council of the league of nations to act as mediator in Armenia. The president informs the league council that he is without authority to use the military forces of the United States “in any project for the relief of Armenia,” and that “any material contribution would require the authorization of congress, which is not in session and whose action” he could “not forecast,” acceptance is as follows: I am willing, however, upon assurances of the moral and diplomatic support of the principal powers, and in a spirit of sympathetic response to the request of the council of the league of nations to use my good offices and to proffer my personal mediation through a representative whom I may designate to end the hostilities that ate how being waged against the Armenian people and to bring peace and accord to the contending parties, relying upon the council of the league of nations to suggest to me the avenues through which my proffer should be conveyed and the parties to whom it should be addressed. This government is peculiarly fitted for this task, and it is the only one of the great powers that is. Nowhere in the world is there any- distrust of .its purposes, or doubt of its disinterestedness. It is the only one of the great powers that has not been at war with Turkey, and therefore the Turks would feel that they were dealing with a friend. It is, therefore, entirely fitting that America should, through the president, under-

take this very important work of mediation. Also there is good chance for success. The Turkish leader, perhaps in response to this proposal of mediation, is beginning to show a more reasonable spirit, for he has already offered peace terms which include an independent republic of Armenia. Whether those terms are the best that can be had, or are satisfactory, is yet to be shown. If we can clear up the Mexican situation, as now seems likely, and save Armenia, as is hoped, the world will take a great step forward. —Indianapolis News.

FARMERS SEEING THE POINT

We are not hearing so much just now about “America first.” So far as that campaign claptrap meant anything at all to the ordinary mind, It implied that this country was to go It alone, live off its own fat and keep foreign goods out by a high tariff. But that kind of America first is already beginning to appear too much like America hindmost. Even the farmers are waking up to the fact. The statement issued in Washington on Monday by the Farm Bureau Federation reads very much as If it were written by a spectacled professor of economics, or even by some wicked international banker disguised as Old Bill Jones of Gopherville.

Note these plain tales from the farmer: “We must open up our usual and natural outlets for cotton, wool, grain and meats if we are to relieve the present disastrous economic situation” The farmer is now asked to sell below his cost of production. What is his only hope? Why, “the opening of foreign markets.” But Europe can not buy unless it has credit, and unless it can sell its manufactures here to pay its debts. Very well, says the farm bureau, arrange for credits, and consider that it is "good business” for us to protect our loans of some $10,000,000,000 to Eu ropean countries by helping them to “start production.” This cold elementary sense is particularly refreshing coming from the farmers. They as a class have been the slowest to perceive that they are more interested than anybody else in the free flow of foreign commerce. But falling prices of their products have been rapidly»opening their eyes. If they remain as wide awake as they now seem to be. the Republican high tariffites will not have so much fun as they used to out of their old pastime of “fooling the farmer.” —New York Times.

WHAT A DEMOCRAT CAN DO

Warden Fogarty Making Money for State at Penitentiary. Michigan City, Nov. 30. —It has been a pleasant task for the legislative visiting committee to investigate conditions and needs of the Indiana state prison, for here is an institution that is not only self-support-ing, but actually returns a surplus to the state. Edward J. Fogarty, Democrat, warden of the prison, told the visitors that he hoped to do even better this year than last, when about $40,000 more was turned into the state treasury than the. total sum expended for the upkeep of the prison.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

The reason the state legislature is asked to provide a regular maintenance fund for two years and appropriations for whatever Improvements that might be needed is that all the profits from the prison industries must be turned into the state treasury. Mr, Fogarty thinks that in the future it will be possible for the prison to turn into the state treasury each year from $150,000 to $200,000 more money than needed to run the Institution. At present the prison population Is considerably smaller than it has been ip the past. There are only 960 men in the institution. From an industrial point of view, Mr. Fogarty could use from 200 to 400 more men to advantage, but he is not sorry that conditions do not lead to a larger population. In addition to the regular maintenance fund, a request for about $36,000 for improvements is being made, the largest item being for contemplated improvements in the department for the criminal insane, which is one of the remarkable features of the prison. Owing to a miss of train connections after an inspection Monday of the Indiana School for Fooble-Mlnded Youth, at Fort Wayne, State Senator Estes Duncan of Cloverdale, State Representative David N. Curry of Carlisle and Mrs. Ida Besler, secretary to the committee, did not arrive at the prison until midnight, but the warden had a warm meal prepared for the visitors at his residence. Then he took them into the greenhouse, which Senator Duncan said reminded him of California. Warden Fogarty told how the binder twine factory in the prison had been developed frpm a losing venture to a profitable industry for the state and about Improved conditions for the criminal insane by getting them interested in the weaving Industry. A phase of the visit most impressive was that the warden seems to know individually every inmate in the prison and affectionately referred to most of them as good fellows. His house man and other prisoners who looked after the comfort of the visitors are all “lifers” but men who are trusted absolutely by the warden. Representative Otto G. Fifield of

Hebron, who was detained by the death of his father, joined the visiting committee here. During the morning a tour was made of the industrial departments and other features of the prison which were found in flourishing condition. The committee planned to leave late in the day tor Lafayette, where they will visit the State Soldiers' home. Before returning to Indianapolis they will Inspect the Northern Hospital for the Insane at Logansport. Senator Duncan and Representative Curry were pleased with conditions at the School for the FeebleMinded at Ft. Wayne. They spent some time investigating the need of Improvements on the Black Hawk farm, a part of the institution, and a fine piece of ground, but which needs considerable tiling.

MILLIONS FIGHT TO EMIGRATE

To the United States—Ellis Island Is Filled. New York, Dec. 3. —Fifteen million men, women and children of all social and economic classifications, representing every nationality in Europe, are fighting for passage to the United States, according to reports submitted by seventeen trans-Atlantic steamship company representatives to Frederick A. Wallis, commissioner of immigration at Ellis island. Every seaport city and town along the western and southern coasts of Europe, they said, was crowded with persons who in their eagerness to leave for this • country have sold their homes and everything they possessed. Passport officers abroad were reported to be besieged by applicants. They also expressed the opinion that five million Germans and Austrians were packed up and ready to sail as soon as the United States makes peace with their governments. Commissioner Wallis, who went to Washington for a conference with members of the house and senate immigration committees, said all records for immigration had been broken recently. “Eighty-seven per cent of immigrants enter the United States through Ellis Island,” he asserted, "and there are 2,000 persons there who are shamefully crowded. There is no use denying the fact that we have not enough room and they are still coming. "It would amaze one to know that on one particular day the Polish foreign office had 311,000 applications for passports. We are getting splendid men and women from Holland, the Scandinavian countries and Czecho-Slovakia.” More immigrants are arriving from Poland than from any other country, he said. Most of these people are Jewish. Commissioner Wallis said that there were at least 1,000 persons at Ellis island who because of disease and other reasons would not be admitted. He added that many immigrants arrived at the station showing the effects of malnutrition and that the island hospital is always overcrowded.

BROWN AND WIFE POT IT TO TEST Terra Haute Man Gains Fourteen Pounds and Wife Looka Lika Different Woman, He Says. “My wife and I have both put Tanlac to the test and we simply couldn’t ask for better results than we have received," said Jerome 8. Brown, 508 South Seventh street, Terre Haute, Ind. “I have gained fourteen pounds in weight,” continued Mr. Brown, “while my wife has been completely relieved of a long-standing case of stomach trouble. I was suffering from the after effects of the 'flu’ which nearly laid me out altogether. I lost my appetite and bad to live on such light diets that I went down In weight ' considerably. Weak, dizzy spells bften came on me and I wasn't able to work hardly more than half the time. I could never sleep much at night and during the day I often became almost deathly sick at my stomach. “My wife also was in poor health. She had been suffering for a long time with indigestion, gas, bloating and all the other disagreeable symptoms of trouble. Finally we both decided to give Tanlac a trial, and today we are both enjoying the very best of health. “My wife has a fine appetite and no matter what she eats she never complains of any bad after effects whatever. She looks better and stronger and says she feels like a different person. “As for me I am hungry all the time and my big gain in weight shows how well everything I eat agrees with me. I am not bothered with those weak, dizzy spells any more and at night I sleep as soundly as I ever did in my life. I feel well and strong and never miss a day from work now.’ Tanlac is sold In Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and In Remington by Frank L. Peck; in WheMAeld, by Simon Fendig. —Advt.
