The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system and demountable rims with tires all around, for every day in the „ year has no equal as a family car. Just as popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate glass windows make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in rainy and inclement weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is ideal for social functions, the theatre, or parties; .carrying the children to school, or for touring. It is not only comfortable, but really cozy, and above all, economical in operation and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits of strength and durability. We solicit your order for one.

PARTISANSHIP GONE MAD

Never in the history of any American congress has there been such an instance of partisanship gone mad as in the act of the Republiccan majority on the house ways and means committee excluding minority members from the conferences at which the soldier bonus bill was drafted. No Democrat on the committee was permitted' to even know what was in the bill until it was reported out, when, with the O. K. of the “steering committee,” it was ordered put through the House as a strictly Republican measure. Democrats are citizens and taxpayers and will contribute their share of the revenue with which the bonus is paid, but they were not even allowed to be present when the bill was drafted, much less have a voice in its preparation. How different the attitude of the

Democrats when they were In the majority during the war and consulted and advised with the Republican minority about all war meassures! Democrats and Republicans alike fodght and won the war, and Democrats and Republicans alike have a fight to a voice in adjusting compensation for the men who faced the foe and wrought the victory.

NOT LIKELY TO ACCEPT CHALLENGE

Republicans will hardly accept the challenge flung to them by* Sena 4 tor King of Utah to insert a plank in their Chicago platform declaring for the repeal of the federal reserve act, despite occasional criticisms from members of that party of the fiscal policy given to the country by the Democratic party. Democrats would welcome the opportunity of having such an issue presented to the people, Senator King told Republican memmbers of the senate. Contrasting the old fiscal policy which the Republican party kept fastened on the nation for 40 years, Senator King mentioned the several disastrous panics which rocked the financial institutions of the country to their foundations and declared that but for the reforms which the Democratic party inaugurated soon after it came into power, the first six months of the world war would have bankrupted the country. It is easier to. criticize than construct; the Republicans condemn, but they suggest nothing better. Fewer than 20 working days remain for congress, if the g. o. p. leaders adhere to their plan to adjourn about June 1, and the budget bill sent over to the senate from the house many months ago is still sleeping. Given bi-partisan support and generally recognized as a muchneeded reform, it ought to be put through without delay. The responsibility is with the Republican majority, for under the method of procedure followed in the present congress, no minority member can get

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

any measure reported out from committee without the permission of the majority. The majority assumed responsibility for the budget measure, making glowing promises, as to the early adoption of this much-needed reform, but It has failed to make good its word. If the Republican senate passes the house’s peace resolution, what is It going to do with It? Send the sergeant-at-arms over to Berlin and beg the Germans to accept It? What method of negotiation or communication between the congress and a foreign government does the constitution provide for? Can anyone answer? General Wood now says he will accept Hays for his campaign manager, if nominated. If Senator Borah is to be believed, the General acts as If he would accept anybody for anything or anything from anybody if it will aid him, for “the nomination is the thing.” Tlip Republican leaders spend a very bad half hour with their own thoughts every time they realize the utter failure of their efforts to prove that the war was a failure and President Wilson responsible for it.— New Orleans States. A poll of members of the Bemocratic Nprth Carolina legislature on the question of ratification of the woman suffrage constitutional amend-; ment indicates that the women may? come to look upon North Carolina as “the perfect thirty-six.” Having aided the Johnson boom in order to head off Wood, the “old guard” Republicans are now wondering how they are going to stop Hiram. “Hell Roaring Hiram” is the new “red peril” to the standpatters.” Samuel Gompers’ statement that congress has displayed “almost an eagerness to do the wrong thing” is almost the first time congress has been accredited with a desire to do anything. Paraphrasing a celebrated American, the Republican congress may say “millions for investigation, but not a word of praise for those who won the war.” Republican leaders in congress? are going ahead with their plans to suspend work about June 1, regardless of how much work they will leave undone? “Hays and harmony” sounds well, but Is an alliterative untruth, so long as Johnson and Borah are running wild on the Republican reservation.
