'Entered at the Post office in Salem,
MAKE SALEM
i- '-There were three fatal automobile accidents in Salem last
iyear, and four more in the country near Salem
' , .And the showing is not a bad one, compared with other
cities in this country; taking into consideration relative pop
ulations - ,
But there were hundreds and perhaps thousands of close
; escape from accidents that might have resulted in loss of
Jife or serious injury
-'. And in nearly every case this was due to carelessness
or recklessness in driving, or to some sin of omission in not
attending to faults and defects of machines.
' In proportion to mileage covered, automobiles would be
vmuch safer than teams, if all tha rules of the road were re
- t garded.j the speed limits observed, and the machines kept in
good repair fn all particulars
,' For the. team cannot always be kept under the control
jof the driver; and the accidents from fright and runaways
: ' are always to be taken into account.
4 : " This is a plea to make Salem safe and sane in the driving
' ? of automobiles-- '
i To let the ever increasing number of visitors in autos
know that they may 'expect sanity and safety here
; And to reassure all of our people that they do not take
their lives in their hands when they go out onto our streets
and roads in automobiles on business or for pleasure.
I U Such a reputation would be a real asset of value.
T : ; We may secure it with the cooperation of all of our peo-
pie; with the taking of extra pains and the exercising of a
' little care, and with? full copperation with the traffic
I cfficials - i
w . With a determination to make it an offence against the
good name and the well being of Salem for any one to risk
his own life or endanger the life of any other person by the
least show of carelessness in driving or the least disposition
4 to disregard the rules, of safety in any particular on the
. streets and highways. ,.

We known. Their debts were hon
orably incurred, . Ono inclined
to be paradoxical would call them
a credit to the nat:on. Uut moral
credits do not lessen the burdens
of material debts.
The revenues of the govern
ment are i not sufficient to m??t
current expenses; yet the people
are taxed almost to the point of
exhaustion. The French aie a
thrifty people. They invested the
accumulated individual savings
of generations in government se
curities during the wJar; and when
the war was brought to a victori
ous issue, they looked to Germany
for repayment, f
Business has le?n slow in re
viving since thd war and France
is industrially in the worst con
dition in a century. The depreci
at'on of the franc has cut incomes
on savings more than in half;
and as the French see the mark,
tha ruble, the crown, and the I'm
falling still lower, they have be
come seriou3ly; alarmed lest the
franc shall be dragged farther
down. "Make; Germany pay."
That is. ths one issue in the French
mind, from the present financial,
crisis. They refuse to believe that
the Germans are unable to meet
their engagements under the Ver
sa'iles treaty, and suspect some
secret plot to Set their late ene
mies escape.
Such Is the stata of French
j opinion, outside a smal rpu

there is something more than a
lack of inclination back of Ger
many's 1 inability to pny. The

Tailing opinion In Washington.
At the conference in" Cannes! the
French delegates were in a minor
ity and they could not prevent
the extension of additional time
to Germany to make reparation
payments. But the French mass
es accused the delegation of sacri
ficing the:r country. That ac
counts for the hostility Brland
eneountt?d w hen he faced ' tue
chambei of deputies on his re
tarn and was the real cause of
his resignation.
, Raymond Poincare was anion?

London, not to enter into any
agretirtents over financial settle
ments until th.'.v should be firs:
submitted to the chain ber. In a
statement published in the Paris
Matin he said:
"M. Driand is being assisted
in London by a team of experts,
lie can only be congratulated,
for he is sure to find -M. Lloyd
Goorj-'e surrounded by an army
of technical men. 1 The sub
jects to be stndied are not suit
ed to oratorical treatment;
thsy demand attention and re
flection. Whatever may be th-;
value of his assistants, M.
Briand will be well advised if
he refuses to come to any de-
c'sion on the spot, if he leaves
ev?rythins open to reference to
h's government and if he conies
back to Paris without having
tied his hands. It is the fate
of France that is at stake."
Driand refused to heed this
counsel, knowing it came from a
political enemy, but concluded tha
contemplated agreements, brought
them back to Paris, threw them
upon the table in Vie chamber,
told the members to TTake them
or leave them," and resigned.
Poincare is now the head of
the government. He must deciJa
whether to accept the agreements
or repudiate them, other than
that extending the time in which
Germany must make reparation
payments. Over that he has no
Control. . The reparations com
mission is vested with that auth
ority under the treaty of Ver
sa .lies and the commission has
acted. France cannot invade
German territory to enforce pay
ment without herself violating the
treaty. . ;
Premier Poincare haa reserved
fors himself the position of min
ister of foreign affairs. He will
ln?ad the French delegation to the
economic conference at Genoa,
and the French people look to
him to do something to "make
Germany pay." English senti
ment is hostile to his cabinet; al
though conferences between him
and Lloyd Georges will be taken
up at the poin where they were
dropped when Briand retired.
So tha relations under the en
tente cordiale are a bit strained,
although far from a break. Poin
care has encouraged the French
masses in the belief that France
can escape from bankruptcy only
if th9 German reparation pay
ments are made according to the
original schedule. The position
of the Lloyd George government
is that there can be no economic
stability in either England or
France until industrial activity in
central and eastern Europe, in
cluding Russa. is revived. The
Kngli.sh point of view is expressed
in the following editorial utter
ance by the London Daily Tele
graph: "The restoration of central
and eastern Europe to econoni
is health and full industrial ac
tivity concerns the whole world,
nor will the world be comfort
able and quiet' till it is accom
plished." There -is no escaping the con
clusion that the European indus
trial situation has been compli
cated by the chanue of ministries
in France: and the president and
Secretary Hughes are very prob
ably giv'ng a serious considera
tion to the perplexing problem
whether the United States should
participate in the economic con
ference at Genoa or st?er scrupu
lously dear of it. It is one of
the gravest of the many problem
by which they are confronted!

SPUH OF THE MOMENT
Several thousand Citizens who
had assembled, at the capital for
another purpose joined a spon
taneous movement that journVyed
through two miles of slush and
snow to express its respect fo.
Woodrow Wilson and its belief
and confidence in the world or
ganization he sponsored. It was
late at niuht, but the sugg?stion
for the pilgrimage was rece'vei
with enthusiasm .and .executed'
with zeal. Senators.: former cabi
net officers, philanthropists and
business ntan. marched :de by
side through the sN et to pay trib
ute to one they denominate as
America's foremost 'j private citi
zen, it was all because they have
fa;th in a League of Nations and
feel that America is; a part there
of. It was not the recognition of
a man so much as a principle.
