KA1IB l l SPRINGTIME.
Same old prinirtime. same old
music.
Same old luring call and wish
Of the antic fields of clover
And to loaf somewhere and
fish
Sam old vtalon of the river.
Same old dreaming, dreaming
over
Boyhoods down in far-off places,
and the sunburned, freck
led faces
And. oh. that same old spring
time, still a gift of gold
en graces!
Same old springtime with its
message
Of the wood and of the vale;
Same old Ideas of adventures.
Colts to break and boats to
sail.
Same old cherry blossoms
growing.
Same old apple bloom and
peach.
Same old golden music flowing
Same old robin's nest to reach;
Sam old springtime, yes. for.
ever. In the heart of
dreams and light.
But as sweet, as sweet forever
through the years that
take their flight.

M'ADOO'S IMMUNITY
ECRETARY of the Treas
ury McAdoo has acquir
ed the reputation of be
ing a very courageous secre
tary. He manifested that cour
age in striking ways on several
different occasions with bene
fit to the country. He was one
of the prime workers for the
new banking law and he is the
secretary who invented the
idea that there should be no
money stringency at crop mov
ing time and he had a plan
whereby he brought results,
with particular profit to the
producers of the country. As
secretary McAdoo has been
immune to criticism from Wall
street sources.
The secretary has just been
in South America with the Am
erican International High
Commission and at Callao, Pe
ru, the party was confronted
with a city under quarantine
for the bubonic plague. Natur
ally it was not an auspicious
place to stop at but the plague
did not scare McAdoo away.
Though other members of the
party remained aboard ship I
NO wise man would carry a
gun which would hesitate
about going off when you
pulled the trigger. You've got
to be able to depend on a gun.
With cigars when you put
your hand in your pocket,
you want to draw out one
you're sure of.
We've been trying to tell you
that you can depend on the mellow
ness and uniform flavor of the
OWL. Will you do us the favor of
testing the OWL ? Suppose you

the secretary landed, held a
confab with officials and thus
paid a visit of courtesy to the
republic of Peru.
Evidently no harm came
from the stop at Callao and it
may be presumed the treasury
head is as immune to the bu
bonic plague as to the shafts
directed at him by critics in
i this country.
THEIR
GOOD SENSE
DER TEST
UN-
AVING sent a large num
ber of soldiers into Mex
ico to capture Villa or
disperse his bands it is logical
action for the United States
T.5o i government to keep those men
south of the border until as
i so sured the task is completed.
It is unreasonable for the
Carranza government to insist
upon withdrawal until peace
has been restored under such
conditions as to insure a per
manent end of the trouble.
In the conference with
Obregon the American officers
have refused to discuss the
subject of withdrawal. It has
been the right attitude and it
fhould win. However, there
are difficulties involved. There
is danger our interventionists
may adroitly stir up anti-American
sentiment in Mexico, so
as to produce a break and
bring about complete interven
tion. The intelligence of the Mex
ican government is going to be
put to the test. Yet the or
deal will not be more severe
than was the situation for Car
ranza when American soldiers
crossed the Kio Grande in
search of Villa. The fact the
Carranzistas had enough
sense at that time to recognize
the justice of our position and
our good intentions augurs for
a sane solution of the present
problem.
WHAT IS A HUSBAND
WORTH?
3
T is ouite evident, accord
ing to a St. Louis newspa
per, that some standard
is needed for the appraisal of
husbands. As it is now, they
lnge in value all the way from
priceless to worthless, and
when an honest attempt is
made to put a price on one of
them there is no standard.
Take the case of Husband
Singleton of St. Louis county.
Wife Singleton had him a while
end then he was missing. She
accused her mother-in-law of
taking him and brought suit
for the value of him which was
according to her inventory,
S20,000. The case was tried.
Husband Singleton was not
there but the jurors, in view of
the fact that letters read in
evidence disclosed that part of
the time instead of being ar.
asset he was a positive liability,
fixed his value at one-fourth
the wife's estimate. And the
judge would not let even that
valuation stand. It was too
much, he said, and granted a
new trial.
At the second trial before
another judge, the jurors were
"
DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON.
widely at variance as to his
value. One said $15,000, an
other said $12,000, five others
said $10,000 and the rest were
scattering. They finally com
promised on $7500. This
judge thinks Husband Single
ton is worth $6000 and not a
cent more. He has told the
wife that if she will take $6000
for him he will approve the
deal and has given her a week
to decide.
Prom all of which it is ap
parent that the present method
of appraising husbands is not
at all scientific or even satis
factory. CITING GRANT
COLONELROOSEVELT in
a veiled but no less
pointed attack on the
president of the United States
than as if he had used names,
told a New York audience the
other night "General Grant
never said anything he did not
mean," and that he had set an
example which it would be well
for all Americans to follow,
"especially in matters of inter
national relations."
The colonel is correct. Bui
does he just now recall that
Grant stood more than 200 in
cursions into United States
territory by Mexicans without
making war on Mexico, and
that the Virginus case, which
involved the shooting against
a wall of a score of American
citizens by Spain, he settled by
diplomatic proceeding which
took over a year?
When any public talker
holds up Grant as a fire-eating,
hair-trigger arbiter of foreign
relations, he ought to know
what Grant really did. Bos

TEMZOND.
The oity of Treblionil, according to
a Statement given out oy the National
Geographic Society, is by far the most
important Turkish port on the Black
sea It is situated on the southern
shore of that sea, about 560 miles east
of Its outlet through the Bosporus.
It lies only about one hundred miles
west of the international boundary bu
tween liussia in Asia and Turkey in
Asia. It has always been the gateway
of the overland trade passing between
central Asia and Persia and Europe.
The fortified city of Erzerum, which
recently .surrendered to the Russians,
was one of the stations on this inter
continental highway.
The city has no direct communica
tion with Asia Minor proper, except
by sea, because it is thoroughly hem
med In on its western and southwest
ern sides by a watershed so steep and
forbidding that not a single river is
able to break through and thus reach
the Black sea.
Trebizond got its name from the sit
uation. It originally was called Trap
ezus, or Tableland.
The older part of Trebizond is slill
inclosed within a wall built by the
Byzantines, but the newer part, which
is the Christian quarter, is outside of
the walls
The harbor is not a good one. the
entrame being so filled with slit de
posited by the cross currents of th"
Blac k set as to shut out any but light
draft vessels.
The road from this Turkish Black
sea port of Erzerum is a very difficult
one. It heretofore has been too much
broken to admit of the transit of
wheeled vehicles. In peace times long
caravans of camels followed the trail
between the port and the fortress, but
in recent years the railroad from Ba
tum to Tiflls proved n formidable ri
val for the camel, ana the "ship at
the desert" Is slowly giving way before
the "Iron horse."

"According to a statement by the
National Geographic Society In Its
work of following the geography ot
the European war, the Russians whe
are sweeping through Persia tow.inl
Mesopotamia are now virtually at a
Junction with the English on the Ti
gris at Kut el-Amara. Reports that
the city of Kermanshah was taken ;ire

only about one hundred and twenty -five

about halfway between Bagdad anil

In his stomach. A man In that condi

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
"Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
Royai Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.
