SAFETY FIRST!

This Is on Time week. Next week Is

Tho world won tho freedom of the
seas In the (Ireat Fracas, but that Is no
excuse for the same being knee deep
on tha Main Stem.
A lady acquaintance has started out
to get. u now spring hat, and It begins
to look llko tho deal w ill be consum
mated by fall.
LKSS tliim three years ne;o Lloyd (iconic said the Turk must be
swept from Kurope. Today hi; is lending tin; figlit for a modi
fication of the Scvre Treaty, which will c the Sick Msm of Europe
miollier lease on life.
This change of front illustrates the complete transformation of
the Kiifopeun .situation and the European spirit. The collapse of
Kussia, with the promise of Constantinople, no longer binding, once
more transformed the Dardanelles into an excuse for diplomatic
scrambling; the revival of the imperialistic spirit following the war,
automatically revived Turkey as an essential pawn in this game.
It is not surprising, therefore, that with tho opening of the Lon
don conference, an announcement of Turkish aggression against
Greece should be made, and no one is surprised to find the beginning
of a renpproachmcnt between King Constantino and his former im
placable enemy, Venizclos.
For Grecian aspirations are united against restoring Turkey to
power, while French and British ambitions in the Xear East, now
well developed, are unrealizable without it. The entire situation
merely emphasizes ohce more the depressing reaction which is sweep
ing Europe, and the fragility of the hope that tho war would usher
in a better and more democratic order.
Superficially, at least, the old balance of power theory would seem
to be in existence again, and Ihe race for selfish advantage, protected
by the smoke screen of diplomacy, appears to be running in high.
I'll future looks dark. Another war is inconceivable, from the
standpoint of realistic statesmanship, and yet no honest observer
can deny, that. Europe as a whole, is returning to those prewar paths,
which heretofore have only led to ruin and disaster.
The straight party ballot is coming up again in the legislature
whenever its proponents feel the opposition is .sufficiently exhausted
to allow its passage over the Governor's veto. We don't see why
the Democrats should so strenuously oppose this legislation. Nothing
could more effectively drive Republicans out of the party, and align
them permanently with a parly of protest. ' ' '

THE HARDEST TEST.
1TRY" to bear life's many ills with fortitude and grit; if I am
pale around the gills, the fad I won't admit. I still attempt
to smile anil sing when Iburdened down by care; the smile may be
a ghastly thing, but still you'll find it there. I've smiled when
joints seemed all afire with fierce rheumatic, pain ; I've smiled
when agenls sold me stock in mines that didn't pay, and when
I slid around a l;lock, upon a slippy day. I've, smiled beneath
misfortune's whacks, and raised no doleful din; but when I pay
my. income lax, I don't attempt a grin. There is a time to preach
and dance, as wise apostles say, and there's a time to whoop and
prance, and chortle and be gay; but he is in discretion lax, or
else he's full of guile, who ponies up his income tax, and wears a
cheer-up snjile. His smile may reach from ear to ear, it even may
be twins, but none can feel he is sincere, that he means what he
grins. "There's some fell purpose in his mirth," beholders will
agree; "for no white man upon this earth can pay his tax with
glee. The coin we (oiled so hard to get, in pain defying words,
our Une.le Samuel will get and throw it lo tho birds. And so
no man of purpose high, no man who earns the bones, can pay
that tax without a sigh, without a brace of groans." .

"There is bound to be something
unusual about a medicine that will
make a man my atje gain twenty-eight
pounds." declared I... Gray, 2S4 East
87th street, south, Portland, in relat
ing his remarkable experience with
Tanlae.
"By taking Tanlae I have gotten rid
of a case of rheumatism, which had
troubled me more or less for forty
years. I got so I couldn't walk a
block, couldn't even get out of the
yard. My whole system Beemed to be
affected and for a long time I couldn't
move my hands, wasn't even able to
put on my shoes and I suffered so I
could hardly keep from yelling out
every time I tried to move. A pain
would catch me in my back when 1
stooped over, and it hurt ter
ribly when I straightened up. My
muscles cramped and seemed like
they were drawn in knots and my
kidneys bothered me a great deal.
"t had been told so many times
that nothing could help me that I
thought I would never be well again.
Hut I finally decided to see what Tan
lac would do for nie and I have im
proved so much, some of my friends
j hardly know me. Although I am now
