CAR * * » —' ■ ■■ ■— The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system and demountable rims with tires all around, is the ideal family car because of its all-around utility and refined and comfortable equipment. Finely upholstered. Plate glass windows. An open car in the spring, summer, and early fall. A closed car in inclement weather and winter. For theatre parties, for social visiting, for touring, and for taking the children to school, it is just what you want. The low cost of operation and maintenance is not the least of its charms. A regular Ford car, simple in design, strong in construction, and durable in service. Won’t you come in and look it over? The comforts of an electric car with the economy of the Ford.

REED AND PEACE

Senator Reed of Missouri whom his Democratic constituents declined to elect as delegate-at-large, yesterday spoke in favor of the foolish peace resolution of Senator Knox. That resolution has not been before the senate very long, but there has been sufficient time for it in part to defeat itself. As originally offered it could not stand the fire that was centered on it. For it was found necessary, or advisable, too strike out the provision requesting the president to negotiate a separate peace with Germany. This provision was a confession that the resolution purporting to declare peace would not, if adopted, bring peace; else there would have been no need for a treaty. This was made clear —which it was not difficult to do. With this clause out, the only inference possible is that those responsible" for its .elimination now believe that the resolution in its modified form will restore a legal peace —which they did not believe when they asked the president to effect peace through a treaty. As it now

stands, the resolution contemplates the acknowledgement by Germany in a treaty of certain American rights. So even yet some sort of arrangement in addition to the resolution seems to be necessary, if not to bring peace, at least to protect and safeguard our rights. Such is the muddle into which the country is being led, and which Senator Reed defends. What further changes may be made in the resolution no one can say, but it is practically certain that there will be some. For this resolution, when passed by the senate, will, with the house resolution, have to go to conference, and there is never any way of knowing what a conference committee will do. A year ago Senator Lodge, who, we presume, will vote for the resolution, said: “We cannot make peace except in company with our allies. It would brand us with everlasting dishonor, and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make a separate p.eace. This “everlasting dishonor” and “ruin” senators are now courting with a light heart. —Indianapolis News (Rep.)

AND THEY HAVEN’T FOUND ANYTHING YET

Were it not for the fact that hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people’s money has been foolishly spent in the effort, the frantic attempts of the Republicans to “get something on the administration” in the scores of “investigations” that have been made would be very amusing. In a speech in the house last week, in criticising the Republican bouse war investigating committee Representative Byrnes of South Carolina challenged the investigating committee to summon General Pershing and “learn from him that which you do not seem to know —that we won the war.” “You had a year in which to investigate,” i Mr. Byrnes declared. “You have discovered no fraud and you owe it to the taxpayers of America to put an end to your extravagant expenditures before you recess or adjourn. Put up or shut up.” The senate by a vote of 43 to 38 on Saturday passed the political horse-play bill, known as the Knox

THE TWICE-A-'

resolution to “end the war” with Germany and Austria, and it now goes to the house for concurrence. Senator Nelson (Rep.) voted with the Democrats against the measure and Senator McCumber (Rep.) of North Dakota would have voted with the Democrats but he was paired. Three renegade Democrats, Reed of Missouri, Walsh of Massachusetts and Shields of Tennessee, voted with the Republicans. The president, of course, will promtply veto the measure, as he should, when it. reaches him.

Short Furrows

"Abe Martin” in Indianapolis New*.

Th’ Home Brewin’ Circle met yesterday evenin’ in th’ cellar o’ Mrs. Lib Mopps an’ after bottlin’ an cappin’ eighty-nine pints an’ transactin’ other business o’ th’ organization th’ subject o’ sugar naturally come up an’ a number o’ bitter an’ illuminatin’ speeches wuz made. Mrs. Tilford Moots told how vital sugar wuz t’ th’ health an’ character o’ th’ people. She said: “Ther’s many instances where senility has been staved off fer days at a time by th’ liberal eatin’ o’ sugar. Th’ germ o’ youth is in sugar. It’s as necessary in character buildin’ as it is in a rhubarb pie. Jest think o’ anything as vital as sugar is bein’ doled out by a few favored dealers t’ the’r close personal friends t’ th’ exclusion o’ the general run o’ people. After days o’ weary trampin’ Mrs. Em Pash wuz successful in gettin’ a pound o’ sugar thro’ a friend o’ her husband’s who knowed a warm personal friend of a feller who’s brother-in-law owned a grocery. Th’ president is blamed fer not buyin’ th’ Cuban sugar crop. Why haint he blamed fer not buyin’ th’ p’tater crop an’ th’ clothin’ output an’ forty other things that are bein' manipulated? It’s all profiteerin’ pure an’ simple. Ther’s plenty o’ sugar, jest as ther’s plenty o’ p’taters.” Miss Mame Moon said: “Th’ sugar gougers ’ll clean up six hundred million dollars this year. Th’ income tax returns show what per cent th’ producers o’ sugar are makin’, Wilson or no Wilson. You might as well blame Wilson fer hay sellin’ at forty-eight dollars a ton. Candy makers an’ soft drink manufacturers have plenty o’ sugar. It’s th’ home brewers that are sufferin’. Ever’where you look you see pop stacked up an’ great stocks of candy. Bakers have plenty, too. Ever’ time th’ newspapers talk gloomily about th’ sugar situation tjl’ wealthy hustle off and buy all ther’ is loose. But why git excited over sugar any more’n ever’thing else? People are paying three prices fer autos an’ labor an’ clothes an’ squeal ’cause sugar’s high. Most grocers are like a feller with a couple o’ extra circus tickets an* can’t decided who t’ give ’em to They want t’ sell ther’ sugar wher" it’ll do ’em th’ most good. Unless

stitutlonal I think our club should raise ite own sugar cane.” "Th’ sugar situation is extremely puzzlin’," declared Misti Fawn Lippincut. "It resembles th’ whisky situation in so many respects that I am distrustful o’ ever’thing I read in th’ papers of an explanatory character. That ther’s sugar, an’ plenty of it, I’m sure. All other things are high, th’ good Lord knows, but we kin see them an’ feel them. We kin buy them, too, if we’ve got th’ price. But sugar an’ whisky mystify me, We hear ther’s no whisky an’ then run, on to a quart. We hear ther’s no sugar an’ wo see candy an’ pop on ever’ hand. I shall put up no cherries or strawberries. If I git my raisin’ wine in shape I’ll feel that I’ll be doin’ well. I think sugar Is like whisky —somebuddy’s holdin' it till th’ right feller comes along.”

NEW YORK’S BEAD KING

Tills quaint old man runs a quaint old shop In lower New York. He is Peter Bender, and his place of business is 111 East Ninth street and it is signified by "unusual.” As Mr. Ben-, der says: “If you,can get it anywhere else, don't come here —I only sell what the other stores cannot get.” Mr. Bender originally had a stock of embroidery, cottons, silk and linen floss and other fancy goods, but of late he has specialized in beads, and beads he has, of a thousand varieties. From the carved ivory of the Orient to the beauteous beads of the American Indiqs, are these little trinkets for bags, etc. Some are as high as $6 an ounce, while others cost but a trifle. From all over the WQrld does Mr. Bender secure his beads, some of his orders amounting to over a thousand dollars. Mr. Bender has been “at the stand” for 37 years, and his receipt for success is “First pick out your business, then learn it so thoroughly that you know ■more about it than any man alive, and you can't fail.”
