In each of these states the Republi

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

eighty-two for Lowden. fifty for John-!

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.

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

and six other men who nre rated at
more than $100,000 cadi bv Hrnd

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

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

fifteenth century nnd had earlier in-

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,

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.
Itut nltrulstic sentiments alone will
not exclusively govern us in making
the decision; nor is it right that they
should. Hcgardlcs even of our nartlcl-
potion in the League of Nations, the
whole question of American interference
in affairs without the western hemi-

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

of tail, in preference to your modem
