.4 TR0CIT1ES U Y TURKS.
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

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.

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."
