ELECTION RESULTS

The Democrats at least have one ray of satisfaction in the results of Tuesday’s elections' —their defeat nationally and in Indiana was so overwhelming that the Republicans have ■all the machinery of government and must take full responsibility therefor. They have had, it is true, the congress for the last two years and field up all beneficial national legislation for political effect and th eh charged the Democrats with ,the re'aults of their shortcomings!' And, strange to say,, have made Idts of Ignorant “wops" believe it. Now it is different, and ;we’re glad the tail .went with the hide and no responsibility for inefficient legislation or the conditions brought about through the inaction of congress can be shifted to the "Democrats. The same is true as to state, matters, and whien all the hungry horde who have been kept away from the SMiblic cribs for the. past eight years gets in action and endeavor to recoup the “feed” missed, during these .years, there will be much more wailing and gnashing of teeth from- the

Fords orv . TRADE MARK ? ' £ . ' : ' ■ ' ' - . ..' i'‘ It is a habit of Henry Ford to thoroughly try out and test any product he manufactures before he puts it on the market. He personally must know it will do all he wants it to do before he will allow, anybody else to buy it. For thirty-five years he worked on this Fordson Tractor. He kept buying land until he had something like eight thousand acres in order that he might get a great variety df soil conditions containing the plowing problems that meet the farmers of the world, and then Fordson Tractor was put to work and made to take all sorts of practical tests for years before Mr. Ford put it on the market. And, therefore, when it came on the market, it was right, it was reliable, it would do the work he said it would do. People have bought it, have tried it out, have tested it, and it has proven to be all that Mr. Ford claims it to be, and this is why that while farm Tractors have been on,the American market more than twenty years and while three hundred thousand have been sold one hundred thousand of that three hundred thousand are Fordson Tractors, and yet the Fordson has only been on the market two years. It has sold rapidly because when one farmer bought one, he practically converted the neighborhood to the desirability and profit of the Fordson Tractor on the farm. The Fordson Is made small, compact, flexible, dependable. It Is made to be much more con- } * venient to handle than a horse. It was made so that anybody of ordinary common sense could operate and take care of It. We wanted to make It so that a mechanic would not have to be sold with every Tractor. It was made by a farmer for a farmer, and it has the endorsement.of the farmers — the little farmer and the big farmer. Some farmers have one, some farmers have ten and fifteen, and one farmer we know has fifty-six. It works just as well in the West as it does in the East. It Is just as flexible in the North as it is in the South. It Is just as profitable in the wheat fields as it is in the sugar and rice fields. It is just as flexible and useful on the fruit ranch as it is among the fields of oats and barley. It is just as useful and profitable in the lumber camp, railroad yard, coal a mine, as It is in the oil fields or any other commercial line. But especially designed for the farmer, it is especially his necessity. Because It increases the production of every acre by enabling the farmer to cultivate his ground to better advantage than he can with mule or horse-power.. It takes the sting and drudgery 6ut of farm work. It is a great conserver of labor expense. Oh, It has so many money-saving advantages that the farmer can’t do without it and be progressive and make money. , So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him more about this Fordson., Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for him on his own farm. Let us test it out to his soil conditions. Let’s show him. . — Don’t delay because there are only so many Fordson Tractors to come to this territory. Get your order in now, and remember that the Fordson after service is prompt and sure. We are supplied with everything necessary to keep your Fordson goIng every day in the year. Come in and let’s talk * h over ‘ * Central Sales Co. Phone Three-One-Nine * ■ . ■- /

taxpayers. But the Republican taxpayer must grin and bear it, for he will, be getting just what he‘voted for. k The causes for the g. o. p. landslide are various, chief among which was the poisonous propaganda started two years ago by the Republican oligarchy and abundantly fed from the millions of dollars brought in bythe “Boys’ Get the Money" squads. Added to this was the bid for support from all the malcontents, the anarchists, the pro-Ger-mans, the pro-Irish and to' every traitor to his country, and the “victory” may prove a very dearly purchased one. s And, too, many thoughtless people wanted “a change.” Notwithstanding the fact that the country was never so prosperous as it has been during the past eight years; that there is not a tramp in the country from one end to the other; that every man who wants work has a job at the highest wages he ever received and could pay the high prices for everything he had to buy and have money left; that he is living oetter today, too, than ever before in his life, there was discontent among the workers and they wanted “a change.” And they will have it, never feaV. Whether the change will be pleasing remains to be seen, but they voted for it and they will surely get it. , I As for the Democrats, they temporarily lay down the reins of na-

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT ————

tional government with a clean 'record and have no apologies to make. The administration fought the greatest war in the world’s history to a successful conclusion, something that the Republicans cannot yet conceive of as possible, and while the latter spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for ‘smelling committees,” not a single crooked thing did they uncover. The record has been a clean one, and after a brief trial with the hungry horde who are already battling for places at the pie counter, the people once more will turn to the Democrats, the , party of She people, for clean and honest government.

THE ISSUE SURVIVES

The vote Tuesday did not settle the fate of the Versailles treaty and the league covenant. These continue to be unfinished business. Millions of Republicans who are in favor of the league with the amendments recommended by Republican senators, voted Tuesday for Senator Harding, and for a variety of reasons. The desire for a change, disapproval of the Wilson administration and dislike of its head, party loyalty, and the passion for Victory these played their part. There were even some who, following the counsel of former President Taft, voted for Senator Harding in the belief that by so doing they make certain our entrance into the league |of nations. Taft himself had said that the election of Governor Cox would create a hopeless situation with reference to the league—that there would be the same old deadj lock. Numbers of. Republicans said ■ they would not have voted for Sena- - tor Harding if they had believed that j he would literaNy scrap the league, On these people and their leaders there rests a very heavy responsibility. Mr. Taft stands before the country as a guarantor and indorser lof Senator Harding as a friend of the intent of the treaty and covenant. The obligation was voluntarily assumed, and, one must believe, I not lightly. The former president is ' a man of scrupulous honor, and knowing! him to be Such many of the people accepted his word. What is true of him is also true of the other eminent men, Including the 31 pro-leagub Republicans, who signed the appeal in Senator Harding’s behalf. They too assured the. people that the way to get tho league, modi- । fled, of course, whs to vote for the

Republican candidate. Very properly, and qjiite naturally, the people willlook to them to prove that they are right, and that their advice was good. The issue has yet to be fought out, and, as was suggested yesterday, it is now, not between the two parties, but between the friends of the league in both parties,, and its enemies in both. As there is to be no election for two years, it ought Jbe possible to consider the great subject on its merits free from the distractions of party politics,—lndianapolis News (Rep.). The first echo of the election from Germany has been received. The Berliner Zeitung Am Mittag said yesterday: “The presidential . election confirms the political death sentence of President Wilson, which already had been pronounced .upon him after his moral and physical collapse at Versailles.” This continent, it is said, summarized German {public and official opinion. However, the Germans are cautious, and “warning voices are being raised against the idea of expecting too much for Germany from a Repuoiican administration.” —lndianapolis .News (Rep.). Our candidates each made splendid campaigns, from Governor Cox

down to toe local offices, but both the state and national committees were hampered by lack of funds to carry on the necessary expenditures, while the Republican committees were literally rolling in money. Indiana and Jasper county made as' good a showing as any of our neighboring states and counties, and We have no regrets for the work done.

The verdict of the people should be respected—scrap the league covenant and make the separate peace with the government that sank the Lusitania, killed our soldiers with poisonous gas and liquid fire, bombed hospitals and poisoned the wells of water when forced to retreat from territory. Make public the abject apology, made to the pro-Germans io secure their vote, for our entering the war at all.

And what became of the preachers who were all so enthusiastic for the league of nations before the senatorial oligarchy told them what to do? It is very probable that four years hence the voters will be more anxious for a change than they were this time. The ‘ new woman In poltlcs voted practically the same ass" her husband, If married, or as inherited If single. Entire Republican tickets were elected in all our neighboring counties, too.

AND SO IT WAS ILLUSTRATED

The Way of Modern Artist With a Story That Really Captivates His Fancy. “This is a peach of a story,” thought Dasher Christy, the eminent illustrator. “I enjoyed every word of it. It’s the kind nf a story I like to Illustrate. I. gives me something to work on. This description of the heroine, for instance.” And he read it again for the 10th time —“Myrtle Stedfast had liquid brown eyes with- prominent pupils, a dainty Irish nose to which a crescent shaped freckle on the very tip lent added piquancy, fiery red hair with a glint of green where the sun caught it, a ravishing rosebud mouth and teeth like new ivory that has just been mined.” “The hero, too —a masterpiece,” mused the eminent illustrator. And he read over the hero’s description once more-7-‘.‘Pete Jardiniere was above all, a manly man. He was 6 feet 7 inches tall, as blond as the moon and as fascinating as the devil. His eyes were black as ripe coal, his teeth white as unspoiled snow. He was the slenderest man Myrtle had ever seen with the exception of the living skelerm.in the side show.” Two months later the story appeared in McEvery’s Magazine, illustrated by Dasher Christy. Tn the pictures, Myrtle had purple eyes, a perfect Roman nose without a freckle, black hair and no mouth, while Pete was a little fat man with pink eyes, gray hair and a red mustache. —Detroit Free Press.

Gladstone Liked to Sing.

Sir. Walter Parratt told at Oxiord an Interesting little story of Mr. Gladstone. He said he had been speaking to Mr. Gladstone of the great compasses unmusical people often possessed. “Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Gladstone, “I used to like to hear my voice. It rang Inside my head,,”. Of course, Mr. Gladstone was very fond of singing, and as a young man sang negro melodies with great gusto. -His eldest son composed many hymn tunes, and the present Viscount Gladstone sang in a choir for several years. —London Chronicle.

Luring the Help.

“When I tried to tell the hired man what to do,” coipplained Josh, “he laughed at me.” “Mebbe, son,” replied’Tanner Corntossel, “it’s more hopeful than you think. If you can make him laugh often enough perhaps he’ll take a fancy to us and consent not to qul(.”

Three Was a Crowd.

The officer had caught the private tilting a bottle of cognac. “Are you drinking on duty?” he demanded. “Yes, sir.” . “Corporal of the gu» — “Don’t call him, captain. There’s only enough left for the two of ÜB.”

A Long Tack, at That.

"Betwixt an auto and a yacht Orie difference is,” said Wpll; *A yacht can stand 1 upon a tack And not be hurt at all.”

In the Suburbs.

“I see you have had fishing in your negMborhood lately. What have you been mostly catching?” “Trains.” f 1 ' 1 /.

Solid Gullt.

“Guess I’ll buy a few shares of that Wning stock. Looks like a gllt.edge proposition to me.” “You’ve only seen the edges!”

Conversation.

“Gabby, isn’t he?” “I’ll say so. He must .give his wlf« an awful battle Xor tne last word.”
