THE PARTISAN COMPLEX.
i'
rilY CANT politiciaus be huraanf Today is -President
W Wilson's birthday. In the senate, a resolution -was introduced
expressing the pleasure and joy of the senate uiin the recovery
toward health of the former democratic standard Isvarer. ,
According to press dispatches there was a chores of "ayes" frotTi
the democratic side and silence from the republican side, white Mxe
presiding officer announced the resolution passed. (
Wfcv "silence " from the republican side t Xo one believes the
individual Bepublican senators are not pleased that Mr. Wilson's
health has improved. Why couldn't the entire assnbiae rise to tut
oeeassion and do the courteous thing, as a tribute -not necessarily to
a party leader, but to a former president -as a fellow citizen 8nd
as a man. .
The answer is that the partisan habit has become so strong in the
upper house, that all sense of proportion hag been lost. ' If the condi
tions had been reversed, and a Republican birthday had been before
the senate, the result would undoubtedly haTe been the same.

this inability to act and think rationally, when party is concerned, is
one of the most discouraging features of the American political sys-1-in,
today. When real issues arise of genuine moment to the country;
it is this sort of stupid narrowness and bigotry,' this silly nabit of the
' partisan-grooved mind, that so often leads the ship of state close to
j the rocks of disaster and tragedy.

his rivals under. In marts of trade his wad ho made, and would
not rest a minute; "I can't afford to rest. "he roared, "there is

for Winter motoring
Your motor will start readily and
operate flexibly, in winter, if you
use an oil that stays fluid at low
temperatures.
The battery troubles, worn bear
ings' and scored cylinders, experi
enced in winter.are simply evidence
that the motor is bound with con
gealed oil and deprived of lubrica
tion. Zerolene Stays Fluid in
Winter
Zerolene No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5,
which are good cold test oils, move
fre?ly in winter with the action of
the motor. They give a cciitirruous
flow of lubricant of the proper "oil
iness" to the pistons, connecting
rods and crank -case shaft bearings,
and save batteries.
For safe cold weather lubrication,
consult the Zerolene Chart at ga
rages and service stations.
