Editorial Comment
Not Worse OF
(The Evening Post)

Politically. economically and in
dustrially the world is unquestiona-
bly, worse off to-day than it was
when the armistice was agreed to a
year ago.-The World.
In the legitimate discomfort with
the way the Treaty has been farine
In the Senate. our neighbor has AL
lowed itself to be betrayed into the
pesslmistic formula familiarized by
other neighbors who have never
cared for the Treaty itself, nor. to
tell the truth. for the armistice it
self. The world is not in a happy
state today. and the approaching
winter carries for Europe much per-
plexity and anxiety. But the world
IS worse off today than it was a year
ago only in the sense that the con-
vaiescent scanning the doctors bill is
worse off than the day when his
fever broke and he was too happy to
think of the doctors bill: or than the
householder is worse off in tacklins
the problem Of rebuilding his ruined
home than he was the moment
when he had snatched his children
from the flames. The world cannot
be worse off politically with liberated
nations getting to their feet and a
beaten Germany surmounting the
menace of social dissolution. 1t is
not worse off economically with the
nations returning to the bookkeep-
ing OF peace. II is not worse off in
dustrially with nearly twenty million
soldiers demcbilized to labor; inter-
mittent and restless labor no doubt,
but still productive labor. The world
is better off than it was a year ago
today. but it is our problem to make
it better still. and to ward off for the
future return to pre-armistice con-
Gitions.

iowa EDUCATOR
Is Enthusiastic in
Praise of Tanlac
Professor Shaw, Former Supt. Of Ed.
ueation Says He Feels Like He
Has Taken . New Lease on Life

Professor NJ. B. Shaw prominent
Iowa educator former superintendent
of education for Des Noines county,
who is now teaching at the Flint
River School and resides in West
Burlington. Iowa, comes forward
with his unqualified endorsement of
Tanlac.
Not in years." said Professor
Shaw. while in Henry's drug store
at Burlington. recently. have I en-
joyed such good health or felt so
well generally as l do since I began
taking Tanlac. Three bottles OF
this medicine has done me more
good than all the other treatment
and medicines l have taken in ten
years combined.
AT the time I began taking Tan
lac my stomach had been in bad
shape for at least ten years. My
food would invariably sour and
would suffer for hours after meals
from gas and indigestion. was also
in a badly run down condition. suf-
fered from constipation, and my
nerves were upset so I would not get
sufficient sleep or rest.
We'll, I just tried everything but
nothing helped me until / got Tan
lac and now / am just like a new
man. Before took Tanlac myself
did not believe half they were
saying about it. but I had not been
convinced Of its value. I can now
eat just anything want without the
slightest trouble from it. Tanlac
has not only set my stomach right
but my entire system is in fine shape.
In fact, 1 just feel like 1 have been
given a new lease on life and l feel
that / owe it to the public to tell
what it is that brought about such
4 wonderful change in my condition.
I am no longer surprised that so
many people are praising Tanlac for
it certainly is a great medicine"
Here is another instance of the
wonderful reconstructive powers of
Tanlac. Prof. Shaw is only one of
the many thousands who have taken
it with the same remarkable results.
Tanlac benefited him because it con-
tains certain medicinal properties
which enrich the blood and promote
healthy appetite for nourishing
food. Tanlac has been very success
full in overcoming nervousness and
sleeplessness. not from quieting ef-
feet on the nerves, for it has no such
effect, but by strengthening the
nerves and bringing back the normal
state of health through its effect or
the appetite and nutrition of the
body

The Red Tide Ebbs
(BoSton Herald)

The coal strike. or attempted coal
strike, ends. The miners are order
ed back to work by their leaders.
Those leaders are wise in recogniz-
ing that the law is the best friend
that orga nized labor has and that
conflict with it is to be avoided
They recognize. however reluctantly,
that public opinion has been against
them from the first in this conflict
and they know that without the
help Of public opinion their cause
is hopeless. The outcome is a mat
ter for congratulation all around. It
is good thing for labor as we'll as
for the country as a whole. It is a
triumph of industrial sanity oyer the
forces that make for confusion and
disaster.
Indirectly. it is result Of the VIC
tory Of law and order here in Massa-
chusetts a week ago. for this VIC
tory gave a much needed backbone
to those in authority at the nation
al capital and forced radical lead
ers in every field from coast to coast
to understand that America is not
in mood to follow where Russia
has led. The collapse Of the coal
strike. in place of the threatened de-
finace Of the government. will go far
to relieve the public mind in other
matters than the concern over the
coal supply for the winter months.
1t gives ground for hope that the Red
tide. which has been threa tening to
engulf honest labor. no less than to
wreck our government and demo-
cratic institutions, is ebbing and will
continue to ebb.

Opportunity and Obligation.

An opportunity and an obligation
are now presented to the practical.
patriotic citizens who are affiliated
with labor organizations; the chance
and the duty to resume control of
the Affairs Of their order. BY reason.
presumably. Of indifference. these. in
some quarters at least, had passed
into the hands of the revolutionary
element. In no other way can We
account for labor's attitude in this
coal strike. for the assumption that
laws and contracts are not supposed
to apply to unions as to other in
dividuAls or combinations Of in
dividuals. We would congratulate
this conservative element in labor's
ranks. II they have not been in
general control We may be sure their
probable attitude was carefully con-
sidered by those who are assuming
to lead. when the time for a show
down came. for decision as to wheth-
er the United States Government or
the Federation should be recognized
as the superior organization.
Now that the leaders have bowed
to the law. though apparently with
poor grace judging from their ac-
cusations. a way has been provided
for settling matters in lawful and or
derly manner: and any body Of men
possessed of the power and innu-
ence of federated labor that cannot
obtain by lawful and orderly process
what belongs to it in this country is
yet to be found.
Sometimes a fight seems to be a
prerequisite to the square DEAL"
though the application Of the latter
must be in the calm. judicious spirit
Of fair play and not in the heat Of
warfare. We need the spirit Of fair
play. Of reasonable and guarded ut
terance. Of live and let live, OF CO.
