Is the attitude which they take pleas ure in commenting. That is the sen- timent which the party in power can endorse because while 1t does not mean direct support of the administra- ton policies and the conditions which have prevailed for the past two years. it does mean an indirect induence which amounts to the same thing. When Hiram Johnson calls upon the progressives to stick. he appeals to depleted ranks. Long ago did those who in 1912 made possible democratic success see the folly of their course. There will be some who will still be swayed by such urging against their own interests, but the experience of the past is one of the best arguments against making the same mistake twice The bull moose call has lost it's attractiveness for the voter who has had his fill of the results of demo- cratic policies.

FOR SAFETY FIRST,

There are in session this week at Philadelphia 2,000 or more delegates to the National Safety Council, the object of which organization is the promo tion of safety first" and this applies all the way from international rela- tions to highway and shop conditions. It is an effort to bring to the realiza- tion of the many million people in this country that it is time to call a. halt to the great amount of careless ness that prevails in every day life.
 This council is doing a magnificent work in directing more attention to this subject. There is manifested each day the tremendous amount of heed lessness which prevails among every 1 class of people. It has grown to pro-
 portions of a glaring habit and too | often it is the case that instead of
 looking out for ones self the burden i is thrown onto someone else, who may 1 or may not be conscious of his task It makes little difference whether it | is the employer, the workman the child or the agent, the advisability of educating the people to a recognition 1 Of dangers and to a regard for their | own protection cannot be disregaraed l It ought to meet with a generous re-
 sponse upon the part of those for
 whom it is intended and it will in time, but it will result only from long 1 and persistent presentation of the
 gross carelessness which prevails and I the consequences which can be avoid | ed. Nothing discloses the need ot
 this work more than the tremendous
 losses of life and property which oc.
 cur each year. This great waste should
 be stopped and it can be to a large ex.
 tent by consistent adherence to tn, 1 ideas of safety first

THE VILLA EMBARGO.

If Villa at any time thought that he would be permitted to receive arms and ammunition from this country aft CT recognition had been extended to Carranza that idea has been dispelled by the embargo which has been placed thereon by this government. Ordinarily this might have been anticipated and a sizeable store laid in in advance, but the weakened power of Villa, the dis organization of his forces and in all likelihood cramped financial condition has prevented that on any great scale.
 Having recognized Q government in Mexico, however, it becomes the duty of this country to give it support and this cannot be done if it is going to allow similar privileges to the factions which are working for its downfall. That would mean that this govern ment was playing a double game by declaring for a government which II is sincerely hoped will be able to bring Mexico out of it's chaotic condition and at the same time lending assistance to those who are anxious to defeat that andeavor and keep the country at was

sRITAIN's CABINET TROUBLE.

It doesn't make any difference whether it is a political party or coalition cabinet, harmony is one of the chief essentials and harmony can- not prevail where there is strong difference of opinion which cannot be overcome. This, according to the state ment of Sir Edward Carson, whose selection when announced was the cause for much surprise, is the req son for his resignation from the Brit ish cabinet. He has had no quarrel with any of the members, but he is not in accord with the proposed man. ner of handling the situation in the near east and he considers that he can only be a hindrance to the smooth working of that body by continuing as attorney general.
 This presents the first discord in the British cabinet as organized un- der the coalition plan, but it is only what France has experienced in the resignation. of Delcasse, its minister surmountable difficulty and even though those countries must regret that any reason should arise which would make these changes advisable he necessity of having a united cab inet is of the first importance It is required in any undertaking and if the necessity of 1t is emphasized by the action taken it is possible of much future good.
 The service which Carson is quali- fled to render is not to be ignored any more than that of Delcasse but such changes cannot be allowed to weaken the efforts which must be put forward in meeting the problems which those countries face and it must be looked upon as a most unfortunate circum- stance that there are those in England who hint that it will mean revolu- ton at home because the minority cannot control the majority.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Result of Armenian DisIoyaIty.

Mr. Editor: read Inquirer's letter this morning in the Bulletin and agree with him that the Turkish atro- cities should be stopped. if such atro- cities there are. Every day, we read in any paper we may pick up about the horrible deeds of the Turkish army against the poor defenseless ArTne- nians and urging the United States government to take a hand and try to put an end to the slaughter.
 Let us place ourselves in Turkeys position and consider the state of Ore gon as O province where the majority of the population are German Amer jeans. but who arc, of course, expected to be loyal to our flag. Now, suppose Germany declared war on us and land ed an army on our eastern coast. We needed every man we could put under

HURTING MERCHANT MARINE.

The announcement which comes from San Francisco to the effect that the first cargo of goods from Chinese ports to reach this country on Jap anese vessels in the past ten years has just arrived cannot give much satisfaction to the administration which has been pleading for an in- crease in the American merchant ma rine. By it's own legislation 1t has been blocking just what it has been urging. Instead of making the trans oceanic business more attractive for capital by legislative acts which would call for more American vessels. it has driven to other flags many of those which have been flying the stars and stripes.
 Back of the seamen's law. which is soon to become operative, is the idea of safety. but 1t has been undertaken by this country alone while other countries are still offering the attrac- tive inducements which were always more favorable to merchant vessels than the advantages held out in this country. The La Toilette law simply makes it impossible to compete with foreign conditions although 1t is urged that a. thorough test should be made of the new law when it Is thoroughly un- derstood by shipping interests which are fully in touch with the situation that such would be business suicide. There is every reason for urging safety, but when 1t comes to carrying it so far that the vessels to which the new provisions would apply cannot make a living it indicates a short sighted policy. Enlightenment on this point is being gained every day ant | the manner in which the commerce or the Pacific is being shifted to foreig1 lines is one of the deplorable results The destructive legislation needs som, immediate and effective alterations.
