Cannot Evade II

"These are troublesome times and
the Democratic party has shown
that it could not meet the situation"
In these words Colonel Shumway,
speaking before the meeting of the
Republican State Committee, pre-
scented the nub of the political situa-
ton. There are many who would
have this unwelcome fact overlooked.
Their number includes every office
holder from President Wilson down.
They are not to be Accommodated in
their wish. Mr.. Wilson would blot
the record with the bleeding heart of
the world, but the worlds heart is
not in his possession and much Of the
worlds good will ne has lost because
of promising what he knew he had
not the power of fulfilling.
The Democratic party must stand
on it's record. This may not be
evaded; it is writ large and it spells
failure.

"Of all the people who have taken
Tanlac, don't believe there is any
one who feels any more grateful to it
than 1 do" was the statement made
recently by Mrs. j. NJ. Craig, of 674h
East Fortieth street. Los Angeles.
Like so many other families dur
ing the influenza epidemic last year
we all had it, and my own illness to-
gether with the worry over the rest
of our family. brought on a case of
genuine nervous prostration.
Il was so weak I couldn't even
sweep the floor, and during the day
would have to lie down four or five
times. l tried to walk but found out
half a block was all could stand be-
fore l gave out. Nervous spells came
on me often.
Every medicine I tried failed to
reach my case until finally my hus-
band urged me to try Tanlac, and
am indeed thankful that he did. for
it proved to be just what I needed.
THE first two bottles didn't seem
to help me. l guess that was because
I was so extremely bad off, but or
the third bottle 1 could tell l was i'm
proving and that gave me more hopes
than ever of getting well.
MY improvement from then or
was rapid and by the time I had TAX
en- five bottles of Tanlac 1 was better
and stronger than 1 had been ir
years. I was sleeping soundly al
night and had gained twelve pounds
in weight.
THAT was several months ago and
from then until now have been in as
good health as I ever was in my life
and have been doing all the house
work by myself.
1T is simply remarkable how Tan
lac has built me up and 1 have tolt
everyone of my friends and relatives
what a wonderful medicine it is"
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch Webster Co., and the leading
druggist in every city and town.

Not a Case of Ingratitude

Politics Is a cruel game. Govern
or Milliken Of Maine is losing out in
the Republican primaries. He is
young. he is rich. he has made so
good a governor that the nation be-
gins to know him. He fills the office
. fully and enthusiastically specializes
in the best interests of Maine. And
now the people throw him down! The
Roosevelt idea was to pick ones self
up and buck the line harder.-New
Haven Journal Courier.
We would take exceptions to that,
And now the people throw him
down." if, as it presumably does, it
implies ingratitude on the part of the
people. In the first place Governor
Milliken is not thrown down; there
is just as good opportunity today as
ever for him to specialize in the best
interests of Maine" In order to
buck" the line it will not be neces-
sary for him to pick himself up"
He is up, has been in the minds of
observing Maine people, recognized
then as now for a Christian gentle
man. an able administrator, an Off
cial Of whom not only friends but
fellow citizens might be. and in fact
are, proud.
All that has happened might well
have been foreseen; a majority of in
terested Maine Republicans conclud-
ed that it was better for the Repub-
lican party to have another candi-
date for governor this year, and that
being SO, and the party being bigger,
and more potential for good than any
individual, they decided in favor Of
the party. AS we think Mr.. Mill
ken has been an admirable governor
for four years so we think the party
is wise to select another man for the
next two years; also that the present
governor will not be lost to sight or
mind. The Republican party will
long have need Of its best timber and
the highest art Of forestry is not the
development Of the individual tree at
the expense Of the whole, but giving
it opportunity to attain its growth.
Mr.. Milliken is not denied that oppor-
tunity.

Minor Matter with eurleson

A Philadelphia despatch to that
ardent administration supporter, the
New York Times, is to the effect that
Postmaster General Burleson is not
availing himself Of means at hand FOR
maintaining as much as possible Of
the old time postal efficiency.
The retirement bill, providing that
employees on reaching the age Of IS
shall be automatically dropped. con-
tains a section under which the head
of the department may certify that
continuance of the employees is for
the good Of the service. This report
states that other branches of the gov
eminent are taking advantage of this
provision but that Burleson refuses
to do so.
In the Philadelphia post office
there are 12O skilled employees who
will be dropped under the retirement
law unless the Postmaster General
takes action. It would seem impos-
sible for that number of skilled en-
ployes to be thrown out without i'm
pairment Of the service and the bust
ness men Of that city are convinced
that service already inadequate
will be seriously crippled. All of
which may seem a minor matter to
Burleson engrossed in arranging
some methods for circumventing pro-
hibition and nominating McAdoo.

The Child Driver
New York Tribune)

(NeW DIX IrlDuueJ
Any one who handed a fifteen
year old girl loaded revolver and
told her to wave it in a crowd would
be regarded as viciously and GRIM
inally reckless of human life. Yet
parents will permit boy or girl to
drive a motor car upon public high
way and think nothing of the fact
that they are risking lives right and
left, and incidentally violating a state
law designed to afford protection to
users of the public streets.
The Sunday tragedy upon Pelham
Parkway spent itself upon the girl
driver and her family. But the peril
was for every one within striking
distance, and the lesson is for every
one owning a car. An automobile is
not a simple toy that a child can be
trusted with. Its operation calls for
muscle. judgment, nerve and expert
ence, which only adults possess-and
not all adults, by any means. The
danger to ones own car and ones
family involved in permitting a child
to drive is great and immediate. The
danger to the public is even greater
and just as direct.
A wanton disregard Of the law and
the rights of the public is involved
in every case in which a 10Y or girl
is permitted to drive a motor car.
