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

show rooms nt 123-125 South Front
Street and Inspected the bargains of

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

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. He attacked
Kenntor Walsh's associates In the sen

"Mr. MeAdoo testified," he wont on,

"Tho senato did not go further In

"There were- other national scan-

declaring tho veterans' bureau "hud

"All of theso things nro floating In

ureil, although nearly 00 yenrs have
passed slnco his denth. 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. The
rewards of labor engaged in com-
nerce, transportation nnd Industry

Ibeial participation In all the essen-
lals of life. What this tremendous
importunity now held by the wage
earner. It wisely and Justly admlnlc

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.
"Immediately upon my taking of

Tho proposed bill malntnins tho

thing else, it is necessary to icsi u

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

nroduees the lamer revenue. Experi
ence Is all the other way.
"I agree perfectly with tnose w no

Tho OH Disclosures.
"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. The moral force of Lincoln
is with us still. "Ho that keepeth
Israel shall npithcr slumber nor
sleep.' "
