By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the 'welkin dome,
And all thy hues were horn in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet.
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."

THE Turk has again entered upon a period of massacre and plunder. His
threat to carry holy war, with its attendant rapine and bloodshed, into
Europe is heard. And to add to the gloom of the situation it is feared that
Russia will add her military strength to Moslem power.. As an offset to
this, however, i-3 the factional strife within. In case the Turk continues ad
vance into the neutral zone of Constantinople and the Dardanelles, western
Europe must wage against these hordes a defensive war or be subjected
to the indescribable terror of the invading foe
m France, Italy and other allied countries are still weak from the effects
of war and are wavering in their attitude, while thousands of Christians are
being tortured and killed. Then, too, international politics tylay a great
part in tolerating this scourge of nations.
England has served notice that the Moslem advance with its debauchery
must cease, or alone she will undertake the protection of her citizens and)
the terms of the armistice by force of arms -
The fime is long past due when the horrible practices of the Turk;
should be tolerated. To the other nations of the world there is the duty
to cease playing politics and Unite in the suppression of this world foe.

this happy trait, it is a most helpful
factor in adding zest to the daily tasks
of the teacher. A good laugh is a
splendid nerve tonic, as any physician

many times during the ay by the
well-directed habit of roaming off for
a moment into "lighter vein." Some

THE TEST.
THE 1925 FAIR.
-p) throwing out of employment over 100,000 men, is an event fraught with the
IvEPORTS of the intended closing of the Ford plants, which means
greatest danger. To industry it may be the opening wedge for future un
certainties. It will, no doubt, encourage less of stability in operation. It
will be easier in the future to close plants upon, the occurrence of conditions
which the employers interpret as needing rebuke by closing down shops.
To the workers it means, unless sustained by the accumulations from
their past efforts, either thru their own savings or thru some system pf:
economic help, institued by Ford himself for the,ir benefit, a calamity. It
means to the great majority of so great a mass of workmen thrown out of
work at one time, deprivation, cold and even hunger.. And under these con
ditions, with so m'uch of wealth amassed in so few hands, the result is any
thing "but encouraging. Driven by want, men turn to defiance of law, and
exhibit the mob spirit.
It is inconceivable that Ford, with his record of highest pay and best
working conditions for employees, will shut dowh without provisions for
those upon whom he will depend again when he resumes business. Even
the timely rebuke to the coal barons is not sufficient to justify the means)
which shuts heads of families off from earnings at the approach of the
winter season especially.
That the operators and distributors of coal, one of life's prime neces
sities in household, factory and institutions educational, philantropic and
penal, should be defeated and punished for their attempted profiteering is!
not even debatable. And that Ford is in a better position to defeat their
damnable purposes than any other employer or individual is doubtless true.
But a duty devolves on him not to jeopardize the reasonable comforts and
rights of those who have grown into a position of trust upon the great plants
which they have, by their industry and faithfulness, (built.
They1 have, by attention to their present work, become unfitted for any
other. Hence, to a certain degree, they are helpless. And upon reflection,
over these facts, isn't it pertinent to inquire whether a single individual
should develop so much -power and authority over other individuals in the
processes and progress of industry?
But these men are citizens. They must have opportunity for work
and self-support. If cut off suddenly and they annot find work, it is the
duty of the government to sustain or furnish them opportunity. '
Primarily it is the duty of Mr. Ford, for whom these men earned sev
eral fortunes last year, to see that now they do ilbt suffer, even tho it takes
a part of these earnings. What he will do is a 'test of his real character,
What the government does is a test of its efficiency. .

ISCOURAGING reports, emanating from Portland, are in circulation
over the 1925 Fair That the plan may be abandoned is due to the un-
settled world conditions. Nations now in strife and turmoil and those
just recovering from the ravages of war are not in position or spirit to take
effective interest in an exhibition anywhere, it is said.
So far as Oregon is concerned, the fair would he beneficial. Thd
state is full of opportunities for development for which additional industries,
workers and capital are needed. And to obtain these essential features ad
vertising is necessary.
No greater or better advertising medium for the state could be
found than the proposed exposition. - Visitors would bring in capital for
investment, industry would build up and the population would increase from
desirable citizens who would become interested in Oregon's climate and op
portunities.
Portland has petitioned for the privilege of voting on financing the
project. The Banner-Courier regrets that, discouragement of the fair should
come in.
The Child and the Animal. '
Everyone knows how quickly the
child's interest is aroused in the pres
ence of an animal. He takes to it
much more naturally than to one of
his own kind. This seems to be in
stinctive in childhood, and within rea
sonable limits parents should encour
age it. Children brought up with ani
mal pets are bound to -show the influ
ence throughout the rest of their lives.
but it is of great importance that
parents and others should teach young
children how to 'handle these pets of
which they really become so fond.
They should be taken up, not by the
nape of the neck, with all the rest of
the body dangling down, but picked
up carefully in the arms so that the
whole body gets some support; they
should not be squeezed and mauled
about and their lives made unhappy by
such usage which, while it may denote
affection, often grows into careless
ness as to the animal's welfare.
Banner-Courier Clasified ads bring
home the bacon.
A WORTHY MEASURE.
o;
N FRIDAY last, the United States Senate passed, unanimously, the
Bursuin hill, increasing the pensions of Civil War veterans from $50 to.
$75 per month. Commendable act. After their sacrifices of opportunities,
and effort, their risk of health and life itself for their country, they are
entitled to- his recognition by their government. May their later years be as
free from life's economic Worries and burdens as their years of service were
valuable to their country.
ON THE WANE.
CONSERVATJON OF INDUSTRY AND MATERIALS.
THE waste of timber resources has been a topic of public .concern in the
state during decent years. On account of fires, neglect and careless
cutting it has been evident for some time that Oregon's valuable timber
would soon be exhausted. Reforestation has received very little - attention.
Mills soon exhaust the timberof their initial locations and are forced,
at great loss, to move -to other tracts or break up altogether, forcing em
ployees to seek other employment. So far the business has been fraught'
with uncertainty and loss. ' ' '
Relief from these conditions, however, marks the new plan of the
government in an offer of sale of timber to lumbermen. It is proposed tO
or)en the Malheur national forest of Oregon-on a basis of a perpetual supply
of forest products. t. . '
It is estimated that under the plan of successive cuttings and con-

Only 16 out of 142 institutions in the United States formerly known

BASIS FOR RECALL.
The Banner-Courier is opposed to the recall of any official except upon
open charges of dishonesty, immorality or inefficiency reasonably proven.
Clandestine meetings, newspaper propaganda based on a desire to obtain

Cultivating a Child's Sense of Humor,
By Edith Lochridge Reid.
We are all familiar with the old
saying that a sense of humor is a sav
ing grace, "but even though we adults.
mothers and teachers, appreciate this
trait, too -often, we neglect the oppor
tunity to encourage it in the child. All
children love a joke. Even very young
children are quick to catch a pun or
a play on words. They are always
ready for a good laugh, and they are
all the happier if someone will enjoy
the laugh with them. '
Fortunate indeed is the child who
has a teacher who indulges a sense of
humor in both herself and her chil
dren. And if these same pupils re
ceive further encouragement at home
through mother, they develop a clean
wit which is a joy even while they are
small. The children who; daily play
under my window make remarks that
are clever- enough 'for any writer to
use in his daily newspaper depart
ment, hut I am not slit-prised at their
remarks when I kno.w the teacher who
has them in charge at least four hours
each. day. She is always bubbling
with mirth and never allows the tire
some details'of routine to dull her per
spective. She never loses a chanc t'o
iurri a word or phrase at '-the proper
moment so that the children catch the
humor. And they grow to like this
game of matching wits with" the keen-i
ly alert mind of the joking teacher.
I visited that teacher's room one day
and the class was writing a compo
sition on "Mother." Ruth raised her
hand and asked, "How do you spell
awtul .' Miss Allen looked at her a
moment in surprise and then said,
"Why, Ruth, you don't mean you're
using that word in' a talk about 'Moth
er'!" Ruth eyes danced and a broad
smile broke over her face as she re
plied, "I just asked that on purpose to
see you look surprised. I know how to
spell that word and I'm saying my
mother does awful nice things for
me." The idea was that the Child
planned to use that word (this is not
the place to discuss the propriety of
its use) and when she saw the oppor
tunity for a joke, she felt at liberty
to share her discovery with the teach
er because there was that certainty of
appreciation which Miss Allen had
encouraged. I -
Yesterday that same crowd of chil
dren to which I have previously re
ferred was exploring the mysteries of
a new house in process of construction.
The carpenters had laid the chingles
around the top of the roof in bunches
just as they came from the lumber
yards, and Dorothy had never happen
ed to see shingles" in that shape be

a wink, shouted "How;: did you . think
