ANYWAY, IT SP1CNT THE MONEY Congressman Tinkhani, of Massachusetts, allcjies the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals violated tht f!nrrnnt PrnclirPK Art. in llin lasil. nrnsi- denlial cnnijuiign and iisk.s Attorney General Mitchell to prosecute the board as he would prosecute any individual politician or political organization for the offense he contends the board committed. If the board has violated the law, either with intent or 'unwittingly, it should be brought before the bar of justice as any other culprit and punished for its crimes against society. The government and the courts cannot discrimin ate in favor of groups of this sort, no matter how worthy their purpose, for by doing so they would .destroy the moral fiber of those'very groups and introduce in democratic Am erica the harmful philosophy typified by the saying "the. king can do no wrong." Perhaps Mr. Tinkhani is wrong in his charge that the Methodist reform organization violated the election laws. ,'fhe violation, if it, was a violation; consisted of ft failure to, file a campaign expense account. Ho bases his accusation on the fact that the board spent more than $.r0 in the cam paign and sought by Ihe distribution of literature and other means to influence the election of the president and other officers. v , ' Under n strict interpretation of the law the board might be required to file an account and be technically guilty of violating the law for having failed to do so, but the board probably acted under the loose interpretation holding that its efforts were expended in behalf of the "dry" movement rather than in behalf of candidates. While there may have been a technical violation, there was no actual crime and we aren't seriously worried over the charge. Summer holidays and week-ends, when thousands take to the highways for enjoyment, is always viewed with .appre hension that the short vacation will be marred by shocking fatalities. Reckless driving, here a collision, there a grade crossing disaster, and other hazards claim their toll. At best, with so many automobiles abroad, experience has shown that distressing loss of life is all' too certain to occur. Some times tho actual record is comparatively free from serious, incidents. If due to good fortune, that is something lo be thankful for, but it would be more encouraging if one could believe that caution, good judgment and consideration of drivers for others played its part in those unusual anil grati fying showings. That could be taken to indicate permanent advance in safety of the highways. For the rather sharp change in business sentiment, which, after a spell of foreboding, has become most cheerful again, there are a number of important reasons. The change was entirely justified. The stock market is buoyant, wheat prices have recovered abruptly, money rates are easier, an extreme tariff is more unlikely and operations ih the key industries continue exceptionally active. There lias been no summer .slump. While figures covering the major lines of industry for the first six months of the year have not been published, the evidence has been plain for some lime that new records have been scored. The first of has produced good busi ness for go-getters. The last half is ever promising. Lieutenant Hromley, Tacomu fliev, is almost ready to try becoming the Lindbergh of the Pacific. He will lie off be fore many days in an attempted flight Irian Tacuma to Tokio. And in Taconia they talk of the short distance, other favorable circumstances. From Taconia to Japan is shorter than from any other coast city. Everyone hopes he makes it. He deserves success trying that great expanse of water all alone.

Smooth riding ease and restful comfort make the? new Ford an especially good car for women to drive WHEN you set the new Ford, yo.s are im pressed instantly by its low, trim, graceful lines and the beauty of its two-tone color harmonics. As you watch it in traffic and on the open road you can note how quickly it accelerates and get some idea, too, of its abundant speed and power. But only by driving the new Ford your fclf can you fully appreciate the easy-riding comfort that is such an outstanding feature of this great new car. . One reason, of course, is the use of four Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers, for merly furnished as standard equipment on only the most expensive automobiles. Yet even Houd.-i!!? shock absorbers of them selves do not account for the complete riding comfort of the new Ford. Equally important are the design and con struction of the new transverse springs, the low center of gravity, and what engineers speak of as the low ratio of unsprung weight to the sprung weight of the car. All of these factors combine to soften or eliminate the force of road shocks and to make the new Ford an exceptionally com fortable and easy-riding car at all speeds. Even rough road may be taken at a reasonably fast pace without hard jolts or bumps or tlie exag gerated bouncing rebound which Note these low prices: Roadiler, 450 Pltaelon, $460 Tudor Sedtn, 5525 Coupe, $550 Sport Coupe, with rumble sent, 1550 is the cause of most motoring fatigue. You have a feeling of mental comfort, too, in driving the new Ford because of its sturdy frame and body, Mechanical reliability, the safety of its fully enclosed six-brake system and Triplex shatter-proof glass wind shield. This freedom from mechanical trouble this security means a great deal to every woman who drives a car. Prove this for yourself by calling or tele phoning for a demonstration.
