'American Elk" Editor Dear!

vlams. edllnr' and publisher or the
American Klk. died here lonlght after
a short Illness, lie formerly was con
nected wilh newspaper In various
parts nf the country as editorial wri
ter nnd held scleral prominent otliecs
In the order r Klks Mr. William
was bom in Ailica, X V, r- w.ir
T AST simmier the Portljincl Orctriniiiin described Trvinif
-- Cobb its out' of tlic KVcatt'st writers of tin; dnv arid
featured liis convention reports, Jiecnuse .Mr. Cobb lias
exercised his constitutional privilege of declaring his
choice for president, and given cogent reasons for support'
ing Wilson, the Oregoiiian turned its nmd batteries upon
ll 1111 III abuse.
Now the loi-al organ of the hyphens and standpatters is
criming its lead bv aliusing those who are telling througl
the .Mail Tribune whv thev are for "Wilson, as '"hectic ami
erratic penny-a-liners. " Doubtless they are listed by the
Joeai it. U. l . managers as "pcrnirer.s because tliev give
excellent reasons for placing patriotism above partisan
ship. Vc are told: "All these men do nothing but juggle with
words. That is their profession. A well-rounded period,
a delicate rhetorical -nuance, an exotic simile, a telling
phrase they live for those sort of things; their life is one
long orgy of verbal articulation." But why is not the ar
ticulation for Hughes? There is better than a penny a
lint; in it from Wall street for "well-rounded periods" in
behalf of Hughes.
The list of these "hectic and erratic penny-a-liners" is
a formidable one. They comprise, in addition to America's
foremost authors, the following:
Thomas A. Ktlison. the electric wizard; Henry Ford, the
auto manufacturer; Ida M. Tarbell. one of the foremost
leaders of thought in America: Mrs. Klla Flags Young,
superintendent of Chicago schools; Luther P.urlmiik, the
. i : . .:....! i i .. . , i, ii ,i ,
iiistiiigiiisncti piam scientist; uogcr tiauson, tne eountrv s
foremost statistician. Mrs. Antoinette Funk of Illinois,
national suffrage leader; ex-Secretary of State Uichard
Olney; David Luhiii, foremost agriculturist of the nation;
Samuel (ionipers. president of the American Federation of
Labor; Ben Lindsey, founder of juvenile courts: Charles
Crane, manufacturer; Paul Fuller, .Jr., foremost interna
tional lawyer; I'sador .Jacobs, leading cannerymnn of Cali
fornia; Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at
Yale; Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president emeritus of llar
vard, foremost educator of the country; .James If. Car
field, president of Williams college: Frank P. Walsh, chair
man industrial relations committee: William Kent, only in
dependent congressman, ami countless others.
Xo such imposing list of prominent independents was
ever before voluntarily enlisted in behalf of a presidential
candidate. It indicates in no uncertain manner that the
thinking men and women of the nation arc rallying to Wil
son's support and that the drift of public sentiment is fol
lowing them.
THE PARAMOUNT , ISSUE
nPIIIO I wo most significant speeches of the presidential
campaign to date were made last Saturday.
Their significance lay in the fact that the issue, as to
the attitude of this nation toward tho European war, was
clearly joined between President Wilson and his oppon
ents. Tlu; president spoke at Shadow Lawn for himself and
the democratic party.
Former President Roosevelt spoke at Battle Creek for
Candidate Hughes and the republican party.
President Wilson declared: "The certain prospect of
the success of the republican party is that we shall be
drawn into the embroilments of the European war."
Former President .Roosevelt declared: "Wilson keeps
us out of war. .Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us
out of war. They put righteousness before peace. Presi
dent Wilson, by his policy of tame submission to insult
and injury from all whom he feared has invited the murder
of our men, women and children."
Could anything be more clear than that (
President Wilson has kept this country out of the Euro
pean war and declares that the republicans will get us
into it.
Roosevelt, speaking for Hughes anil the republicans,
verifies the president 's statement.
Hughes has not repudiated the Roosevelt statement,
and he will not.
Kdilorial comment seems superfluous, if one has any
faith in the common sense, not to say sanity, of the Ameri
can people.
ill 1 h is connect ion. do not fail to read the article by W.
(i. Shepherd on another page of this issue. Mr. Shepherd
has probably seen more of the Kiiropcan war than any
other American, lie had been in Mexico for two years re
porting the revolutions when war was declared in Furope.
Within three weeks he was on the French front. Later,
he spent several months in ( iei iiiany.
Formally months he was the only American correspon
dent with (iciicral French at Hritish hcadtpiarters in
France, lie was in Serbia when the central powers drove
the Serbian army out. and went with the army. Formally
mouths he was with the allied armies at Saloniki. going
from there to London, lie wrote the first detailed story of
a Zeppelin raid in London for American newspapers.
Shepherd returned to this country several months ago
and wriiMothc Mexican border. This article by Mr. Shep
herd is one of the most significant and important contribu
tions to the literature of the campaign.
It contains much foot I for thought by Americans who
put the i lit crests of their country ahead of partisan policies.

fAXWELL Motor Cars are now equipped with a new and

springs, wider seats, deeper and softer cushions, dasWight,
gasoline gauge, and other equally important refinements.
To the generous value heretofore present
in the Maxwell product, these extra im
provements have now been added.
This is in line with the Maxwell policy so
widely advertised not to change the
Maxwell in any essential detail, but to
continue improving it so that it vill
always be a stajidard, recognized product,
constantly abreast of the best practices
of the industry.
Notwithstanding the superlative and
sometimes confusing claims that are
made in behalf of various automobiles,
we restate our sincere conviction, that
Maxwell Motor Cars offer more real value
per dollar than any other car in the
world.
This too, is the belief of the thousands
and thousands of Maxwell owners. And
these beliefs are supported by actual and
tangible facts. We actually know that
within the entire history of the automo
bile business, no motor car in any class
or at any price has equalled the Maxwell
in honest dollar-for-dollar value.
And if you will examine a Maxwell, ride
in it, compare it with other cars, consider
its splendid record, reputation and past
performances, you too, will know it.
