Apiin comes report from Bul garia of Turkish atrocities in the slaughter of those who have ac cepted the Christian faith. In this instance several hundreds of men, women and children have heen butchered with as little compunction on the part of the butchers as an ordinary individual would show in dis posing of the most venomous reptile. These mussulmans ought to be taught u lesson, but how shall it be done? Shall missionaries be sent among them to teach and to instill into them those principles of love, and good will wluch will lift them above pres ent conditions and insure re spect for the rights of others? That certainly would be a com mendable thing to do, but the missionaries have alreadv been there ami these slaughters come as a result of converting a part of the Aimeniaiis to another faith than that of Mohammedan ism. What then? These people have a religion and while, no doubt, it has some commendable virtues as regard ing their conduct toward u brother, yet it is not a humane one, and is not calculated to bring peace only through the destruction of opposition, and, hence, there is only one kind of . argument that will appeal forci bly in their case and that is the law of force. These people, for more than a thousand years, have had in stilled into them, the thought that there was one God, "Alia," and that Mohammed is his prophet, and that people of other faiths have no rights which they need care to respect, and be cause of their fanatical zeal comes these slaughter scenes so often reported from the Turkish empire or from places where Mohammedanism has dominant rule. The law of force, so far as we can comprehend the difficult problem, is the only arbiter that will appeal to them. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is the only method of proceedure that will reach them. If the lives of the perpetrators of these massacres were required in payment for those of their victims, and their rulers held responsible for the debt to out raged society, then perhaps the barbarous Turk would remem ber that other people have rights that must be respected, and that he is bound to respect them. The sympathies of the writer are not inclined to the harsh law, "An eye for an eye," etc., but there are conditions and circumstances which make it imperative that force be used. If an enraged animal is coming at you, you must either be master of it there and then, or get out of its way; and in the matter of the fanatical Turk or any one I else who has wrought him or herself into an unovf rnod rajje, ! they must be overpowered else tllt'V Will Wl'Cck tllt'lT Will UpOU , t f t llatnJ. J i If civilized nations will take it in hand these eriodie;tl massa cres can he stopped although they may have to use strong measures to do it. Fake Commit Dixyrace toOmjon. Commenting yesterday upon the proposed blue sky law for this stale the Portland Jourmtl said: A high otliccr in the postal service says crooked promoters come from elsewhere to Oregon ; to organize fake corporations i that they would not dare to or ; gani.e in other states. In Ort I gon, the organizing of soap- bubble companies and the lloat jingof bogus securities can be i carriedon without legally author ized interference by the secretary of state. Of lti.OOO corporations organ ized under the laws of Oregon. Secret: ry Oleott says 11,000 are crooked. Men hide behind the corporate organization and do frenzied finance they would not dare to do personally. The name of the state of Ore gon should not be used in any such business. Xo state should license any corporation to do busiue. s without knowing some thing about what the business is to be and whether or not it is a crooked business. Whatevercorporatlon the state licenses should be honest. Un til it has proven itself honest, it should not be licensed. That is what is proposed by the Oicott blue sky bill, and the framer of the famous Kansas blue sky law says the Oicott bill is u splendid measure. How can honest . men justify themselves if they vote fur Ore gon to continue as spawning ground of di-honest companies? The vot- for the Oicott bill should be overwhelming. A Fight Not Wholly Lost. The University':) long-drawn out light for good government has at least done some good. It has enabled the Normal school to defeat the work of a gang of petition forgers, and to get an appiopriation that is very much needed for the training of the state's teachers. Likewise, the manifold imper fections of the attorney-general of Oregon have in this instance been the means by which good has been done. It appears that the attorney-general forgot or at least failed in some manner to appeal the Monmouth school's case from the decision of the lower court. Thus the injunction issued by the circuit court re mains permanent. Thus, while the University's light against rottenness and cor ruption failed so far as the prin ciple was concerned, it centered attention upon itself and en abled another worthy institution to defeat by inadvertence, the work of the crooks and forgers whoi are lighting education. Eugene Register. Benefits of Prohibition. Kansas people are rejoicing in the fact that, despite the increase in population, the number of patients in Kansas asylums for the insane is steadily decreasing. The authorities have expressed the conviction that this decrease is due, in large part, to the effect ive operation of prohibition. Xo doubt, if total abstinence should come to bo the rule throughout the country, many forms of suffering and evil would de crease. The Presbyterian. Wo exported something more than $1,00(1,(1(10,000 worth of manufactured goods last year. Just how we have disposed of this volume of trade in compe tition with pauper labor from which the blessed tariff protects the American workingman is something for the stand-patter to tdiew upon Telegram. Society lasses are no longer given to the iion-euphoueous ex pression, "He is mushy," when a new swain appears upon their horizon who is not up in eti quette to their ideal of how a young man should acquit him self, but they say of him now, "lie's a mellow fellow." Kx-pttsidont Roosevelt de clares that "The day of the boss, the crooked financier and the crooked newspaper are past." Well, we hope so, but we think he should have included the crooked politician as "good will to men" will not prevail so long as he is on the job. EIGHT-HOUR LAW UPHELD California Statute Making Worn-! en'i Workday Eight Hours to be Strictly Enforced. j The California supreme court, following the example of Wash ington, has upheld the eight-hour law for women workers, and the public officials throughout the state have set out to en force it rig idly. The press intimates 1h.1t Uii:; decision is an outcome of the de sire to please the women voters, who are now such a power in the politics of the state. Washington and California are the only states in the Union that have the eight-hour law for women and both are suffrage states. Woman's Journal. Tha Sign on the Church Door. "'Thin Poor Is Open' in the scn eiblc little sign which appears on a massive door of one of your well known churches," said 11 visitor to New York. "Now, while many churches in most of our large cities make it ti practice nowadays to keen the church open for certain hours each week day, as 11 matter of fact the stranger often tries one or more of the heavy doors and goes away unable to find just what par ticular door happens to be open. 'This Door Is Open' settles the whole business. It is simple, sen sible and saves a lot of embarrass ment and fumbling with heavy doors. It struck me as a notably thoughtful little sign." New York Sun. The Prime of Age. "I understand that Lemuel Hol land has come back to Danby to end his days," taid a former resi dent of the village to Peter Ilobbs, the stage driver. "How old is he?" "Tie's only eighty-nine," said Mr. ITobbs, "and I guess you've made a mistake about his ending his days here. lie came here so he could get the now library started and the bank organized right up to date and to see to the drinking fountain that's to be put up on the green. "lie calculates to spend a year or two with us, but he told me the other day 't he'd always promised his son out in Californy 't he'd pass the latter part of his life out there, and he's planning to go before he fails any, so's to have the full en joyment of the trip acrost country."
