When I add this code to my aspx , 

   <telerik:RadEditor ID="REWelcome" runat="server" 
    AutoResizeHeight="True" Width="500px" ToolbarMode="Floating">
   <Content>
   </Content>
   <TrackChangesSettings CanAcceptTrackChanges="False"></TrackChangesSettings>
   </telerik:RadEditor>

And I got this error message ,

'~/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd' is missing in web.config.  
 RadScriptManager requires a   
 HttpHandler registration in web.config.

How can I solve it ?

In your web.config - add the following to the system.web (omit the system.web, just used to show you level:

<system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
        <add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI" validate="false" />
        <add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"></add>
        <add verb="*" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"></add>
    </httpHandlers>

The bottom two are not needed gnerally but I am assuming you want the extended features of the editor, like dialogs and spellchecking.

I also add location at the same level as system.web 

<location path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd">
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="*" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>
