even takes first rank. There may
be more good from it than from the
peace conference at Washington,
tho there is a great deal lees noise
made about it.
Boys who are to he the actors on
the scene of humsu life in a few
years have been organized by lie
hundreds of thousands, in a way
that appeals more strongly to them
than any achool or Munday school
work could, and bound bv a pledge
(published in the Enterprise two
weeks ago) which teods to in ike
the n careful, humane, chivalrous
citizens.
They are trained to lie not only
useful but more or less altruistic—
to aim for the betterment of man
kind, not purely (or selfish gain to
them •«elves.
Wise parents will encourage
their sons to join th« organization
and take an ambitious part in its
activities, and will in so doing
make happier their own coming
years and those of mankind gen
erally.
T H E FA R M BLOC
From « cloud no bigger than a
man’s hand, which alarmed M '.
Harding and called forth a p ro te s t
and effort first to squelch it and then
to placate it, the ‘ 'farm bloc” has
rapidly grown to proportions which
threaten the dampening of “ goy
ermneut by party” with a very
considerable shotyer.
The farmers do not propoee the
formation of a new party but the
exercise of their long-dormaui
power in legislation without mgard
to party lines.
They are working
for a square deal, not for the vic
tory of any corrupt and money-
controlled party, and their pros
pect of getting it is brighter than
ever before simply liecause, for the
first time, they are organized, as
their exploiters have been for to
lang a time.
BLOOD ON OUR HEADS
On this ¡¡page Is some tes
timony, given by Oregonians who
are knwn t< many of us, in regard
to some of the hoi tors which have
c«me upon the Christian people o f
Armenia.

been murdered by the Turks while
they have been driven naked into

are not supplying in quantity auf-

lingering deaths.
In time past the United S 'ite *
government was wout, from time
to time, to interfere jn Turkey to
eave the lives of Christiana about
to be slaughtered for being Chris
