It took us a long time to get into
the war and it is taking us a long
time to get out of it.

Oregon has joined the ranks of
sufrage ratfy ing states. When the

she will beat the average man who
has been studying the art for a
hundred years or more and still has
many things to learn on that score.
The man who says no German
goods should be sold in this (oun-

Occasionally you hear people say
the legislature might as well meet
once in ten years, that the fewer
laws we have the better, etc. Yet
with the last session only a year
away, a flood of legislation is im
pending. Most of it is pertinent
too and some of it necessary.
Which goes to show that it iB not
well to believe all you hear.
The move for a city hall and com
munity center, which is now on
again, will make just such progress
as its proposals are asne and reason
able. There is much to recommend
the plan, the need is a large one,
something that stares us inj.he face
as imperative if we are to take full
advantage of our civic well being;
yet the application of the plan must
be in harmony v ith our ability to
carry it out, or it will fall rf its
own weight. '
Just as there has sprung up a
kindly feeling among democrat for
Ex-President Taft, so there is now
apt to find expression a sentiment of
approval for Mr. Bryan among re
publicans. And in each instance
for the same reason. Both of these
gentlemen have been honored by
their respective parties and neither
now actively seeks for further pre-
ferment. To neither one is the
idea of the loaves and fishes, vie-
tory and spoils, so prominent as
among their younger fellow parti-
sans and for these reasons both can
express a certain tolreance for the
opinions of the other fellow. The
influence of both in political affairs
is for greater tolerance and a larg
er view of matters of public policy
than the narrow one of political
expediency. Just as the venerable
Franklin threw his influence in the
constitutional convention in behalf
of conciliation in the opposing fac-;
tions the influence of Taft and Bry
an has been for compromise and
peace. .
One week from today national
prohibition becomes effective be
cause of constitutional amendment,
It is one of the epoch marking days
in our history. We might venture
two' predictions. First that the
blusfer and hot air ' coming from
such sections as Jersey will fade
out very speedily when arrayed
against the strong arm of Uncle
Sam's enforcement laws. Second',
that a thorough test in some of the
very wettest sections will change
these f ircesfrom enemies to friends
of the plan. There men will have

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Don't Depend on Spring Deliveries
Spring deliveries of Ford cars have never been certain, and they should not be de
pended upon. Demand has always been greater for Ford cars than the supply or
production. So , if you wonld be sure of having a Ford car, buy it nowwhile de-
liveries are possible. Don't wait even next month is an uncertainty.
' Only a limited, specified number of cars has been allotted to this territory. That
allottment cannot be increased, because the demand all over the country is greater
than the supply or production. Get your order in now, and you will be one of those
who is sure 'of a Ford car out'of our allottment It's first come-first sgrved.( All
, order are filled in rotation. So, if you would be forehanded, if you would he certain
of having a Ford car when you want it then you will buy a Ford car now. A
signed order with us is your protection'. It is the result of the wisdom ,of4 looking
ahead, - i r ,
If you buy a Ford car now, don't thinkjyou have to "store", it. The Ford is a
car made to serve it owner for business or pleasure throughout the entire year.
Ford owners have Tong since come to recognize the fact. It is no longer popular to
"lay-up" your carjfor, the winter.. Buy f. Ford car now, and usejt now. '"
