EASTERN STAR AT TURNER


Victoria Chapter, No. 76, o. L. s..
held a very interesting cnd enjoyable
meeting in the Masonic lodge room
Wednesday night.
Visitors from Salem and Aumsville
were present, and the work put on by
the different Officers of the lodge, in
the initiation, was perfect and called
forth much praise from the members Of
the Salem Star.
A program vas given, consisting Of
vocal and instrumental music, the beau
tiful, new piano being used for the first
time. A recitation was also given by
Miss Lucille Gray.
At a late hour the members and
guests, joined the friends who were
waiting in the room below, where all
then became seated at the beautifully
decorated tables and proceeded to en-
joy the usual eats which were set be-
fore them. Short talks were given and
a social time enjoyed. The genial at
mosphere was so keenly felt that the
company seemed loath to leave until
the wee small hours of the morning.

MIXED MEXICAN SITUATION.

The present Mexican government, according to re-
ports from Mexico City, refuses to be worried by the ac-
tivities of the I'll -Carranzistas so long as they confine
their activities to paper armies" But a perusal of the
press reports e~minating from the southern republic would
indicate that the paper army to which the reports UNI
questiOnably refer--the unknown armed strength of the
revolutionary movement recently launched by General
Aurelio Blanquet--may easily develop into something far
more substantial than the Carranzistas anticipate, or adj
init openly.
Carranza claims a wellequipped and loyal army
numbering 100000 men, while the Banquet forces, with
which are combined the few hundred bandits under Diaz,
are said to be about 10000 strong. The size Of the oppos-
ing forces, however, is not a safe ground upon which to
base a forecast of what the revolution may eventually
amount to. Mexican soldiers, as past experience has
demonstrated, are easily led and loval to the leader who
pays best for their loyalty. And General Banquet may
bid high for such troops of the government forces as he
thinks he needs, Banquet is not a second Villa, or even
of the same cast. Besides having a record as a soldier
behind him--he holds the rank of field marshal in the
Mexican %army--he is popular as a statesman of the con-
sentative type and holds the sympathies of the land hold
ing class of the country. Hence, his financial backing
may be as substantial as that Of the Carranza government.
He is, one mighb say, a popular, though somewhat aged,
idol Of the land-holding class and picturesque enough to
gain a following among the adventures who make up the
professional sOldiery Of Mexico.
Blanquets chief strength lies in the probability that
he will gain the solid support of the reactionary party of

WATCHING AND WAITING.

Watehfully we all are waiting; hOw will things come out
at last? Will the Germans quit their hating and live down
their ugly past? Will they see that hates an error, will
they fully realize that to rule the world by error isn't pos
.sible or wise? VIII the German love his neighbor in the
golden days of peace, or be anxious to belabor t'Other fell
low with a creese? Oh, | do not trust the German, though
he act like Sunny Jim, though he hand me out a sermon
or put up a pious hymn; he is great at talking virtue, he
has morals by the stack; but he'll take a club and hurt you

is waiting for another whirl of gore. Now he is of hum
bic seeming, speaking in remOrseful tones; but ] fear he's

but the German always hedges when he comes to pay the
bill, T1l be true and good, he belehes, "TH be pure, al

TURNER PARENT TEACHERS

A large and enthusiastic audience
was present at the Parent Teachers
meeting last Friday night. The pro-
gram arranged was splendid and each
participant did exceedingly well. The
address of welcome by Prof. Blough
was c~ommendable.
The recitation delivered by Miss Luz
ellie Gray was n Of the best that our
people have ever haa the picasuie Of
hearing. The vocal and instrumental
music was very fine and well rendered.
The violin solo by Miss Ruby Lister
was highly appreciated by the audience
and showed great talent for n of her
age. The reading by Miss Jewel Steele
was well given, and the pupils of Mrs.
Marader's and Miss Smith IS ROOM,
usual, pleased the on-lookers.
The talk Of Mrs. NJ. L. Fulkerson on
primary work was not universally APP
proved by those present. Ideas not put
into practical use are null and void.
Many suggestions made were impracti-
cal. Farmers should know when they
need the labor Of their children, not the
teacher, Her talk could have been more
harmonious and not so critical.
All the present teachers have been re-
lnpointsd for anCther year.-Tribune.

SELF DETERMINATION FOR THE FILIPINOs.

If it is admitted that the FlipinOs are now ready for
complete independence--and that is a question which will
doubtless be fully debated in congress when it Meets
there could hardly be a more O%ppOrtune time for granting
them their freedom.
There is no question, of course, regarding the policy
to which the United States is committed. BY repeated
and explicit declarations the Filipinos have been prom
Used their independence as soon as they proved them
selves capable of self-government. Those pledges were
given voluntarily, before the United States became in
volved in the world war, and before there was any of the
current talk of "se"lf-determination of peoples" as the
only democratic and legitimate basis for settling the
worlds affairs.
In the last few weeks this principle, previously agreed
to in theory by all the powers engaged in the war, has
been finding trouble in its practical application. France
and Italy are baking in the matter of letting the inhab-
itantS of certain desired territories do their self-determin-
ing. So are all the enemy countries and most of the new
republics risen out of the wars ruins. Great Britain,
though apparently in a reasonable mood as regards new
a~ccessions of territory, finds the Irish problem more en-
barrassing than ever. Japan frankly demands certain
islands by right of conquest and is in trouble over her
domination of Korea.
In the midst of all this mess the United States is the
only b~elligerent that asks nothing for herself. 1t is this
disinterestedness that has done more than anything else
to give the American delegation its prestige and power
at the peace conference. Our material assets, our man.
power and our good will are important factors, but the
chief factor is our moral strength.
Obviously, we should add to that strength, if, at the
very moment Of insisting that the other powers allow
small natiOnalities to determine their own destiny, we
proceeded to ~exemplify the doctrine by freeing the one
nation subject to American rule which wants its free

the old pre-revOlutiOnary regime, and the reactiOnaries,
largely the political and military chieftians Of Porforio
|Diaz, have gradually gained power at Mexico City and
now hold many important posts under Carranza. Added
to this, the reaetionaries practically control the military
organization Of Mexico and the loyalty of the troops de-
ponds, in a large measure, upon the loyalty of the reac-
.~tionaries to Carranza. Former Diaz soldiers are said to
hold practically half of the commissions in the present
Mexican army.
Little heard of during recent months, but perfectly
alive and waiting only the opportunity to turn his bandits
loose in the northern part of the country, is friend Villa.
1t is not likely that Villa would join directly with the
Banquet forces, but with Banquet entertaining the Car
.ranzistas in the south, Villa could be counted on to start
some fireworks in the north.
In spite of the press-agented calm of Carranza over
the situation, it is not at all hard to believe that Mexico
is becoming slightly jealous of the European revolution

Wilhelm and Won Hindenburg were not the only bluff

.Czernin told LudendOrff that internal conditions in Aus

The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company made

the excessive dividends it is paying it now asks for a raise
in rates. There is not the slightest ground for asking or
reason for granting, this request, taking the %cOmpany's
own statements of its operating receipts and expenses.
Wonder if it wouldn't be possible to end the peace
conference by some kind Of an armistice by which the
talk would end at a certain hour and minute?
Aside from the prospects for an extra session OfcOn-
