NEW LIGHT AUTO
The much talked -of- Esfsex, the
new light -weight car fcuilt. toy the
Hudson company, has arrived and is
on display at the A.' W. Walker Auto
company, the local agents.
"The Essex is the result of years of
experience which produced the supp
er six, the most popular fine car in
the world and is Incorporated in the
Essex. : Every feature has been sub-
.mitted, to the . most rigid tests and
only the very finest material is used
throughout the car," ' said A. W.
' 'alker. . ) , j- 'i
"Clever designing has enabled the
engineers to produce a car in which
performance, luxury' and finish com
pare with the highest priced auto
mobiles on the market. . Although
built for five passengers, the Esse
provides more room In the front com-
partment and in the tonneau than
do most seven-passenger automobiles.
' "In the past ' automobiles have
been developed along 'j two 1 widely
separated lines. One has been to
ward a cheap, light car. 'Economy
and low first cost have been Its chief
advantages. " The other trend has;
been toward luxury, comfort and en-j
durance at the expense' of low first
cost and heavy maintenance expense.
The Essex was built to combine the
advantages of both these types.
"The operation of the car is of the
utmost simplicity, relieving the driv.
er of the burden usually encountered
on Ions tours: Srueh study has' been
devoted . to - the making of mainte
nance easy and the expense of up
keep small.
"In building the Essex, nothing has
been sacrificed to mere apearance,
the beauty of the car coming from In
herent qualities of fine' workmanship
and correct design, The motor al
though only 29 Inches in length, de
velops more than 50 horsepower, and
in construction the car. . is strong
enough to withstand the hardest ub
. age.". .- , . -.-

An Illiterate
; j. (From the New York World) ;
. In government there is no substi
tute for Drains, no Buhatitute for vis-
Ion, no substitute for leadership. That
is the impressive lesson of the Sixty
fifth congress, which passes into his
tory today unwdpt and unhonored. ''."'
' At no other period of American
history has the country been so near
a complete breakdown of the legisla
tive branch of the government. Noth
ing else like it has been1 known un
der the' constitution. To find a par-,
allel we must go back to the political
futilities of the confederation.- - -
There are times in government
when mediocrity is in itself a' crime,
and the great offense. of the Sixty
fifth congress was its hopeless medi
ocrity, both in Its majority and ith
minority factions. It is fair to say in
extenuation that no other, congress
was .ever charged with such vast du
ties and such tremendous responsibil
ities, but the magnitude of the task
serves only to make-the character of
the performance the more, pitiful.
.'The lxty-tlfth- congress was com
posed, for the most part, ' of "Irre
proachably honest men, as that term
is commonly- used. It was totally
free from all the gross and shameful
corruption of tho Civil war congresses
when senators and representatives
enriched themselves at the expense of
the conn try .' It was likewise a' -patriotic
congress,' lj Tlie Copperhead eie
merit was so'small as to be negligible;
On the whole, we think it was a con
gress that wanted i.o do right.- Whore
it failed was in lacking the capacity
to do anything except as it was gulli
ed and driven by the executive.
In all the long record of war legis
lation not a single measure of impor
tance; military, financial or indus
trial, originated with teongres3. '.All
of them were suggested1 by the execu
tive,, and many of them could never
have been passed except under execu
tive pressure'. .Congress not only con
tributed nothing of value, but in
most instances in -which independent I
action was. undertaken its policies'
