The Portland Telt gram, comment ing on thu downward trend of prices, very aptly remarks: No one more sincerely than the newspaper regreU the tlnuiiciul loHBeH taken by local uierchuntH. The merchants by the nature of thlnes nre eoine ihrouKh a period of stress, and all well winders will bear with them patiently when they seem to be Irritable and critical of the public atiilude. The newHpapera have come In for their share of crlticlHtii from the merchants by publishing the obvious fact about price reductiuns which of neceKHlty must he printed, but which must mean Iohh to the merchants. l,lke doKK'd flKlit'Trt.

For the first time In nearly half n century, Mexico has a president reg ularly elected and legally liiaugnr ated. For the Hint lime in nearly ten yenra there in no armed revolt in the country. President Obregon personally seems fitted to give stability to the new regime. He lacks education and training for public life, but with far ranza in mind. those tmalitle dwindle In Importance. He appears to hae the more valuable character it ties of opi-u iiitndedness and prac Ileal common sense. Ho has a tecord of courage and honesty. His dectara tions since the successful reolutinn that eliminated Cartauza show that he appreciates the necessity of fall dealing with other nationa. and has a Mrong desire lo cultivate the friend whip of the I'nlted States particular ly. This one nrttied warrior and for mer peddler of cow peas may turn out to be a real statesman. He deserves a chance, at any rate, to show what he can do. Mexico, too, deserves a chance, now that she manifests a desire for pence, order and aanitr after all these unhappy yearn. There will soon be formal recognition of the Mexican gowm lnent If no untoward development oc curs. There should then be no lack j of moral co-operation between the two republic, after the old manner, with more honesty and ralnuna oi both sides.

Cicntleinen: (tending some of tho testimonial letters you have been running in your tdvertisements in the Journal lately lave me the thought that perhaps a letter from another well satisfied customer would be of some belp to on, therefore, I um writing the fol lowing: During Ihe month of September, 191 5, I had the tires of my Dodge car equipped with your Universal Tiro Filler, and have been running con tinually on those tires for a little over five years, removing the last .wo In August of this year. During the five years of continual use of your fHler I have never been lelayed one moment with my car. The advice give nine at the time 1 had my car filled, to the effect that 'lie filler would be the causes of the breaking of springs, cryslulllzlng of ixies, and the Jarring loose of nuls ind bolts, has proven absolutely raise, for In all this time, nnd I have driven my car over 18,000 miles, I 'inve never experienced any of this trouble. This continual knocking you henr about what Universal Filler will do when Installed in a car is absolutely false, and from my observation only otnes irom tnose who never used Ihe filler. I would not own a car that did not liave Universal Filler Installed in the lires, and certainly would recom mend it to anyone wishing to get real pleasure out of the use of their automobile.
