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:

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. We will
gladly bring the new Ford to your home
so that you may know, from your '
own experience, the many features
