FIRST RIDE EIGHT CADILLAC Saturday morning I wis stnmlin near tho Hotel Nash corner nnd np Wjcst Main street I saw a beautiful nutomobilo faced towards nio nt nbout 100 feet distance, moving bo slow that the motion was scarcely discernible. It approached uic so quietly that I wondered what unseen power was keeping it in motion. As it came to a stop near me, tho II river, Sccly Hall, asked me to take a ride in tho first eight-cylinder Cadillac shipped out of Portland for 101.". 1 had only been in the car a few min utes when the fine points of the Cnd illno were strongly impressed upon me. Wc glided out East Main, cross ing Hear creek bridge, slowing down to one and n half miles per hour, then recovering its speed with such ease that it mado one think we were float ing along through space, yet inde scribable. We went on westward, taking the hills, slowing down to four miles per hour, then again immediate ly picking up and going well, ns fast, ns tho law allows, without any appar ent effort, running so' smooth, so quiet, so flexible nnd so easily han dled that one relaxes into forgetful ness of tho means by which you arc carried nlong. Thu new pleasures nnd now charms which distinguish this marked ad vance in motorisin is trhly wonderful. It is imposniblo to resist tho added charm and zest which the Cadillac eight-cylinder engine contributes to motoring, and tho necessity for shift ing gears occurs 60 seldom that one wonders why a gear shift is provided. There is so little mental effort nnd so little physical effort required to drive tho eight-cylinder Cadillac that it al most romoves itself from vour con sciousness. My first ride revised completely my ideas of what consti tutes tho nemo of luxurious motoring. With tho abundant How of uninter rupted power, tho MipcrMuoothncsa, the pliant springs, it is aptly said the Cadillac carries its own good roads with it. Your fint ride in tho Cnd- ilia 0 will convince you that its smoothness nnd flexibility is not ap proached by any other ear. E. E. KELLY. PEACE AGENI OF WASHINGTON, Feb.

The duma today held its first session since August H, when it approved the action of the Hussinn government in engaging in war with Germany. It is not unlikely that this session will bo marked by events of importance in the history of the de velopment of Hussion political insti tutions, owing to the changed rela tions between tbq people and tho gov ernment in consequence of the war. Tho session provides tho first renl opportunity for the manifestation of the effect of these chnnges, tho ex tent of which has been indicated by recent appointments to public office, ns well ns by the utterances of the emperor and Russian statesmen.

It was expected that in the course of the session the government would announce definitely whatever changes in policy are contemplated.

A well-writ ten editorial in the Mail Tribune of February 1 fint attracted my attention, and having been a mer chant for many yenrs, but before mail order catalogues wero so universally circulated nnd read as now, I secured tour of the leading illustrated cata logues, spent several evenings btudy-. ing prices and computing transporta tion charges. I then visited our rep lesentutive dry goods, furniture, baidware, jowelry, clothing, hninesu and farm implement stores, secured prices on staple, articles ami havo ar rived at this conclusien: That mail order prices enn bo met light hoio in Medford, where you can see tho goods and not havo to depend on pictures and dcbpriptions, where articles can. bo easily exchanged, where two to four weeks' wqit ih eliminated. Tho natural human fruit is to buy where goods aro cheapest; local prido is usually secondary in tho gamo of life today. Therefore, I wish to say to my mer chant friends: Meet your mail order competitors with their own weapons ndvet Using und prices. Tho local field is yours, avail yourself of tho opportunity. A well-vfrilten adver tisement in your local papers will convey your message to hundreds of homes; many of these homes havo tho well-known catalogues from distuui cities, llcbt iiBoiircil Unit comparisons MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, TTORTJARV 9.
