LOCAL USED CAR SALE Considerable comment Is being caused In Modford by the used car salo which Is now In full swing at the Orator Lnko Automotive company. This sale was announced last Sundny and scores of peoplo have visited their show rooms nt 123-125 South Front Street and Inspected the bargains of fered thore. TheHO used cars have been washed and In mnny Instances varnished and painted. "The response accorded our sale," said Mr. Pago, proprietor of tho Crater Ike Automotive compnny this morn ing, "evidences the public's Interest In a good line of used cars. Used curs have ceased to be tho "unknown 'Quantity'' that they were a few years ngo Blnce they are usually of standard,' woll known makes and accepted by parages from purchasers of new cars. ''iho former ownors have realized that, by careful attention to their cars, they can enhance their exchange value. We have found that the usual line of cars recolvod as part payment on now cors, nave been carefully Initialed. The Crnter Lnko Automotive com pany's used car sale will continue throughout the week.

Adv. PniK-r Sold for $550,000 ' OSSININO, N. Y.. Feb. 13. In the course of an arraignment of public officials, past and present, Frank A Vnnderllp, financier, in a Rotary club auiircss last night, criticized the sale of "a certain Marlon newspaper." "A certain Marlon nowspaper sold for $550,000, when It wns well known to everyone? that It was not worth half that sum," ho said. ' "Two young men with no financial stnnding purchased It. Everybody in Washington, including tho newspaper correspondents, knew this, but no one wants to look under the edge of a shroud. "Whore did tho money come from? Whero did It go? These are matters of public Interest. The last admlnls trillion stands challenged. We cannot wnlt for congress or tho correspon dents, especially when wo remcmhor thnt Mr. Dougherty Is attorney general." Then tho banker whirled Into the Teapot Dome scandal.

"All of theso things nro floating In the scum of Washington," Mr. Van dorllp continued. "What Is tho truth? Wo are ontltlcd to knowi It will de mnnd eourngo In high places to find out.

Probably there has heen no one Justly entitled to bo termed 'the greutest man In tho world.' As thero are mnny dif ferent talents, so thero are many dif ferent kinds of greatness.. This makes comparisons sontewhnt barren of re sults. Hut measured by ability, achievement and character, America has long placed Washington and Lin coln as the two men in our history pro-emlnently entitled to bo tormod 'truly great.' In this opinion wo have tho general concurrence of mankind. Willie others approach them, they are not out-ranked by any of tho other figures which all of civilization has produced throughout Its record of thousands of years. "In n way nil men are great. It Is on that conception that American In stitutions hnvo been founded. Tor haps the differences are not so much is many suppose. Yet there ore dif ferences which set off some men above their fellows. What those dif ferences are In a pnrtteular case Is a matter somewhat of personal opinion. To mo the gr.entest of Lincoln con- siHieit very largely or a vision oy which he saw moro clearly than the men of his time the moral relation ship of things. Ills great nchleVHliumt lay In bringing tho different elements of bis country Into n moro truly moral relationship. Ho was the conimander-n-chlef of the greatest armies the world had then seen. They were vic torious. Yet we do not look upon him is a conqueror. Ho directed the rals- ng and expenditure of vast sums of money. Yet wo do not think of htm is a flnnncler. The courso which he followed cost many lives and desn nted much territory. Yet wo think it him not as a destroyer but n ro itoror. He was a liberator. Ho struck the fetters not only from tho budioa but from the minds of men. Hu wet :i great moral force. "When Lincoln had finished hb ourse, ho hud made tho foundation of freedom stronger nnd firmer on which to build national unity, strengthening thnt principle was the hlef accomplishment of his llfo. He minted out tho country could not en lure half slave, half free. Tin nighty work ho did finally left It to nduro nil freo. Ho restored national mlty by restoring moral unity. "The questions which ho considered in his dnv we need have no heslta Ion in concluding were finally and leflnltelv settled. There Is no (III erence of opinion, no argument nhuut hem now. The conclusions which hi irew have slnco been settled policy if our country. "The conflicts of his time have lasscd away. New developments lave taken place, new problems hove een met. The Industrial struggle which came, lasting up to the days of 'lie world wnr. for Increased conv lonsntlon of wage earners; for the lettering of their condition, whllo H 'las never beon fully settled, does not ippear at present to be acute.

What this tremendous importunity now held by the wage earner. It wisely and Justly admlnlc tered. will mean to tho well-being of tho nation is almost beyond compre hension. It onens uo the prospect of a new era in human existence. It' Justifies tho assertion that whllo America has problems, It is not lack ing in. the ability or courage to com prehend and solve them.' It is a war rant for confidence In tho future.

When tho taxation of largo Incomes is np- pronched with this in view, me proo lom is to find a into which will pro duce the largest returns. Experience docs not show that the higher rate nroduees the lamer revenue. Experi ence Is all the other way.

"Lately there have been most start ling revelations concerning the leas ing of government oil lands. It is my duty to extend to every Individual the constitutional right to the pre sumption of Innocence until proven guilty. But I have another duty equally constitutional, and ever more important, of securing the enforce ment of the law. In that duty I do not Intend to fail. "Character is the only secure foun dation of the state. Wo know well that all plans for Improving tho ma chinery of government nnd all meas ures for social betterment miserably fail, and the hopes of progress wither, when corruption touches administra tion. At the revelation of greed mak ing Its subtle approaches to public of ficers, of tho prostitution of high place to private profit, we are filled with scorn and indignation. We have a deep sense of humiliation at gross betrayal of a trust, and we lament tho undermining of public confidence In official Integrity. But we cannot rest with righteous wrath; still less can wo permit ourselves to give way to cynicism. The heart of the Amer ican people Is sound. Their officers, with rare exception, are faithful and high minded. ' For us, wo propose to follow the clear, open pnth of Jus tice. Thero will be immedinte, ade quate, unshrinking prosecution, crim inal and civil, to punish the guilty and 'to protect every national interest. In this effort, there will be no politics, no partisanship. It will bo speedy,, It will be just. I am Just a republi can, but I -cannot on that account prosecute anyono bocauso ho is a democrat. "I want no huo nnd cry, no mingling of Innocent and guilty in unthinking condemnation, no confuction of more questions of law with questions of and corruption. It Is nt such a time that tho quality of our citizenry is tested: unrelenting toward evil, fair minded nnd intent upon the require ments of due process, the shield of tho innocent and the safeguard of society Itself. I ask the support of. our people, as chief magistrate. Intent on tho enforcement of our laws with out fear or favor, no matter who Is hurt or what the consequences. "Distressing as this situation has heen, it has its j-enssuring side. The high moral stnndlirds of the people were reveuled by their instant reac tion against wrongdoing. The officers 'Of the government without respect to pnrty hnvo demonstrated a common purpose to "protect government prop erly nnd to bring guilt to justice. We hnvo the trinlsnnd perplexities of our day, but they seem insignlflcniu compared with. (ioso which taxed the genius of Lincpn. The government maintained itself then; the govern ment will maintain itself now. The forces of evil do not long triumph. The power of Justico cannot long bo delnyod.
