In each of these states the Republi can contest is between Wood nud some ond else, (iiiiernor Coolidge is a can didate in Mnaehusetts. with Wood as hlsl principal competitor. Senator Harding lias the support of a large fol lowing In Ohio, where he has said that he t has nn objection to allowing the friends if Wood try to take the state Xrom him it they are able. In New Jersey, without a "favorite-son" cau didutc, the race is between Wood and Johnson. Votes will be f-ast for Hoover in each of 'these states, but the machine politi cians are not getting out their followers to vote for the food administrator. State conventions to elect delegates arm to be held in Washington and Idaho, and Wood's friends will trj to get the delegates nwn from Poindexter nnd Borah, the "favorite sons." Tomor row the table of delegates elected will hav to be re ised to bring it up to dnte. As that table stands toda-. there are llS delegates instructed for Wood, j eighty-two for Lowden. fifty for John-! sori. with o!2I uninsfriipted nnd renrlr tn'. rote for the winner. That is, of the 571 i delegates already elected less than half are instructed for nnj one. During the week 1-10 more delegates will be elected. If Wwid should get them all he would till have to get about -00 more before he would have enough to nominate him. It is still nn body's convention.

The hold ers of ISfllttuinre and Ohio shares have Increased from 10.000 to ol.OOO, and of the New ork Central from 10,000 to 30,000. The siPiiifii nnee of these figures will not be lost upon persons interested in following the growth nnd distribution of wealth. Nor should it be I. OSt UPOn those lawmakers who hove been in the habit of regarding railroads as the legitimate jirej when tuxes nrc to be in creased. T,hc railroads seem to belong to the people, in the sene that a rapidly in creasing number of people have invested their soings in them When tins fart dawns upon the con sciousness of the law milkers they may adjust their thinking tn the new condi tions. . JOHNSON'S "SHOESTRING" SENATOR JOHNSON'S boast that he is running fur the presidential nomination "nn a shoestring ' does not xncan what thnt phrase once meant. It must be interpreted m accordance with the present high ost of shoestrings. The statement of the expenses of the Johnson prininn fauvnss in New Jersey shows that more monej was spent in bis behalf thnn for am other candidate. The Jerseyites will therefore, feel com plimented at this tribute to their value. No attempt has been made to win them by kisses. Hard cash lins been paid over for "necessary expenses." And in California, where the primnry eleetioti is to tie held m the first week ln May, the Senator has among his sup porters nine millionaires with whom he once Mid he would he no commerce, and six other men who nre rated at more than $100,000 cadi bv Hrnd Btreet's reports. Ililt everything, shoestrings included, is expensive in California, as custom tourists have discovered. Just what n Jojinson political shoestring costs in that state will be made known when n statement of the amount put up by the oimtor's backers is :u'',!c!'rl.

It Is appreciation of tills fact that has caused many earnest men to look with apprehension on the "overall movement; j but, we think, needlessly.

This performance is nothing less than a division among civilized nations n a major portion of the Rvzantine empire, which was itself the heir of Rome? The Turks, who poured into Europe in the fifteenth century nnd had earlier in- n .Kir) itnLforin Sn iltft tint nntunllf ) UiVI 11 II71VI 11 IIUUII lllll IIVL (K.IUUIIJ I.,. . .... ,.,.. ; ii .., Ul-rillH- IU.' IMIUillUIC 111111111111 ll'UHII. They simply usurped it. The present rliblodgment of the false heir, save per haps in Constantinople, is freighted with facts of transcendent import. Ac knowledgment of them will nt least serve to explain some of the realities in America's quandary. The Turkish treaty, which has been completed in substance, accords the mandate for Syria to Krancc nnd the mandate for Palestine to Great Britain. The latter is already in control of .Mesopotamia and exercises by n special pact with Persia a dominating influence in that country. Whatever suspicion of imperialistic aims mo be cntertuined concerning the two great victorious nations of western Europe, it is at least fair to assume that a new regime of order is to be estab lished in their spheres in the Near East. The possibilities of a new prosperity in these regions, of a new- development in compensation for the centuries of retro gression, the cycles of cruelty, bigotry und ignorance, nrc simply iucnlculuble. The Near East, under the stimulus of commerce law. educational enlighten ment, rnilway construction nnd irriga tion, is perhnps destined to regain some thing like its primal place iu the ranks of civilization. Itritain and France will be the chief guardiuns of this advance ment. Cnder such conditions it is reasonable to assume that the Turk will be com paratively powerless for harm. The rule of the Sultan in the internationalized Coustautinoplc will be mainly fictionul. The stabilizing influence which France and Englntyl are bound to exert in the Near East cannot be overlooked in es timating the responsibilities attached to un American mnndutc for Armenia. It is obvious that in protecting tho heroic new republic, Turkish opposition would not constitute for us n really serious obstacle, because in the renl istic sense the Turkish rmipire will cease to exist and the Jnst retiige of the tur bulent Ottomans, presumably in Ana tolia, will bo bordered by territories in which strong untlons capable of enforc ing their decrees will be in high com mand. There is, therefore, small like lihood tbut our assumption of a man date for Armenia would compel us to tight new wars. There would be no exemption, how ever, from hervlce of another character. Police protection will -be sorcl needed, for, as Doctor Jastrow points out, the Kurds have infiltrated am oni- the Aj '7Tr i- .1.7 Company under common control nnd di-' misl,ps and a few daring bo)S were , revolution.

'Financial assistance will be required. Opinions on tho extent of this differ widely. Experts ou the hiibject agree In the view that the natural energy of the Armenians, the progress which they have already revealed under the most pitiful circumstances, their trnctablllty, their' patriotism, which is apparently inextinguishable, are assets which promise substantial returnH within n relatively short period. Lord llrycc, than whom few states men arc better informed on this theme, contends, In n recent letter to It. Kill ton Cutting, that "four or five million dollars a jear might suffice until the country can, after a few years, begin to pay Its way." There is no denying that American Interest iti the redemption of Armenia Is wholly disinterested. That in itself Is a fact vhich would efface nny Im perialistic stigma on our acceptance of n mandate. Our interentlon would safeguard a Christian oasis on which many an epic struggle of the faith has beti fought. The picture of America standing sentinel there is Inspiring.

'LEDaURr-PHlLADliJLPHrA, TUESDAY A1?RIF 27 1020 Travch in Philadelphia The Passyunk Avenue Bridge THE Is'land road trolley 4cars skirt that little-known region of West Philadelphia that lies along the lower banks of the Kchuylkill on the road to Essington and Hog Island In these days, before the leaves are all out on the trees, one may see over across the river that great bristling industrial town built up alKiut the oil and gus works of Point Urcczc. It Is the Pittsburgh of Phila delphia, n booming smoky city, below whose tnll stacks creeps down the long curve of dark oil-stniued water. At Sixtieth street and Elmwood ave nue I stepped off the car, and. draping my overcoat across my arm started out to llnd n way to the river. It looked easy enough at first, but I was tempted by many paths. There was a pleasant semlsuburban air about the little neighborhood nlong the avenue thnt tempted mo to linger n sense of ample space to grow up in. and when I turned down toward the river by nn unpaved street I found abend of me n Imrroge of tall trees ntia on cither side paths rather than pavements. AT THE foot of the slope, bcjoutl the trees, lay a retired valley dotted . im mi: Kiiiteiiiiig Krcrii ii'iivcH in skunk cabbage along the bed of n rill. Two boys were making some sort of a robbers' nest up in the tangled branches of nu apple tree. Two kites rode high above me against the clouds and a clump of small 'girls down by the strenm bed were talking of bunches of violets. I enmc out on to a road that swept back toward tho city. Ucforo me lay the slender chimneys and looming gasometers of the Point, and below them the far, slow creep of motors up the long cnuscway thnt lends to the rolling, graceful scrolls of the bascule br)dge Two of the kite-fliers were pulling in their strings as I ciinie up to them nnd the kite came down almost at my feet. It was a huge thing, made of newspa pers with a long tail of blue calico. They pointed out the wny for me nnd lingered a while to gossip of wireless telegraphy, of nudions and the calls of Arlington nnd Fire Island with nil thnt creepy mechanical wisdom which has taken the place of forest lore in the minds of the keen youth of today. Put wise as they were in nil these recondite matters, they were not above enjoying tho Knnrr nf flrlnp kitp.i. nnd fnvnron tho old "three sticker," with its five yards of tail, in preference to your modem scientific contraptions of two sticks nnd " ,,rniJ1",K nlico- Ho X co,ll1 1,ot (lc- spair of them, rpHE road over to the bridge took me --down into u Hollow uwiue a .nitiK j aid full of broken cogs, twisted wheels and shattered coupling" a boneynrd of deceased mechanism, from the 'like of ... i.:rti. ...,. .1.. ..!..... .. ..i:ii y I'auciii sivuuis oi .M.ini .. u.
