Newspapers Discuss
Public Questions.

Missoula (Mont.) Daily Missoulian
believes there "is not much encour­
agement to be found in the campaign
of the administration to reduce the
cost of living. Months have elapsed,
since it was announced with a blare
of trumpets and beating of drums
that all the forces of the federal gov­
ernment would be used to put a
crimp in our too intimate associate,
old H. C. L. The test of the pudding
is the eating thereof. The cost of
living has not been reduced and the
campaign is a failure. Each house-
wife may determine this by the sim­
ple process of comparing her'house­
hold bills. We do not think the com­
parison .'.ill reflect cyedit upon
Washington.”
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune:
"The people of America, independent
of class limitation, industiial or so­
cial, have reached the extreme of
patience with
the unreasonable,
treasonable, anarchistic actions of
parties at. interest in industrial pro­
ductiveness. They are weary of be­
ing made victims of every whim of
capital and of labor. They are tired
to death ,or what is more to the pur­
pose, to the dead line of endurance,
of the absolute Inconsiderateness
with which their interests, comfort,
convenience, health and happiness
are constantly and contiuously lg-
ored by both employer and employe,
producer and profiteer, in their con­
tentious and controversies over di­
vision of profits. In short, the public
is at the parting of the ways with
the role of goat thrust upon it by
those it pays well for service.”

Kansas City Times: “In England
the bye election is closely watched as
a political barometer. The Prime
Minister may have a majority at his
back. But when a member drops out
and a successor has to be elected,
the outcome is taken as a straw
showing whether the government
still has the country behind it. Such
an election took place in America in
the Seventh Alabama district. The
fight of a Republican in Alabama is
always hopeless. But this one was
made on the issue of the league of
nations, with impressive results. In
the district where the Democratic
plurality had ranged from sixteen
hundred to 3,700, the congressional
candidate squeezed through with a
plurality of only 403. Sentiment was
running so strongly against the
league at the end of the discussion
of the campaign that the Republicans
felt that another week's debate
would have elected their candidate.
This overturn, it must be remember­
ed. was no ordinary one. It was in a
state where people take their Demo­
cratic affiliations almost as a re­
ligion. Some of the Senators at Wash­
ington have not discovered the fact
yet, but this country has made up its
mind against the proposed league of
nations.
Hartford (Conn.) Courant: “Hen­
ry Mor^enthau, who so ably repre­
sented this country at Constantino­
ple and whose account of his exper­
ience th.’*e is one of the thrilling
books of the war, has returned from
a visit to Europe, where he was
looking after the Jews in Poland. He
comes out now enthusiastically for
having the United States assume the
mandate for Turkey, Armenia and
Anatolia. He estimates that this Job
would cost this country more than
$300,000,000 to $400,000,000, but
estimates often fail below actual
costs. From the money point of view;
this suggestion is lacking in allure­
ment. But that is only a part of it.
Why should this country take care
of several far-away countries that do
not know what peace is, and if they I
do. do not warm to it? Mr. Morgen- ■
thau does not say how many Ameri­
can soldiers! the operation would call
for. but it is obvious that a great
many would be needed. The scheme,
however, beautiful from a millennial
point of view, is a warning against
foreign entanglements. Lt we are to
police the world we surely have our
work cut out for us. Considering the
need of keeping order at home, it cer­
tainly looks as if we could find plen­
ty to do without hunting for it.”
Says He Witnessed Burning of Five
Million Cigarettes.
------ o------
Ray Eusdan, a returned United
State.- Marine, tells a story of having
seen 5.000,000 American cigarettes
burned at Breast, France, under or­
ders of an American officer. Eusdan
states that the officer tendered the
Cigarettes to the French govern­
ment for use in their hospital but the
red tape involving the payment of the
Franch duty caused such a delay
that the officer became disgusted and
had the smokes destroyed, while
thousands of Yanks stood about and
wistfully watched the blaze.
Eusdan also claims to have been in
the British House of Commons and
heard Premier Lloyd George deliver
a scathing denunciation of President
Wilson for bls attempt to “run” the
peace conference. Eusday is a grad­
uate of Yale and had been an in­
structor in the University of Chicago
before going to war.

The Road In New Overland 4 on
Three-Point Cantilever Springs
This means an altogether new standard of riding
comfort, a noteworthy reduction in the wear and tear
which lessens the efficiency of a car. The new springs
give longer life to every part and thus minimize up­
keep and replacement costs.
Tires wear longer because cushioned against
hammering blows. Light weight means marked econ­
omy in gas, oil and running expense.
Overland 4’s equipment is complete from Auto-
Lite Starting and Lighting to Demountable Rims.
Come in and see this remarkable car. Ask for
booklet. Overland 4 Touring, $845; Roadster, $845;
Coupe, $1325; Sedan, $1375. Prices f. o.* b. Toledo.
OU expect a bad road to ride as it looks. It did,
until the introduction of the Overland 4
Springbase.
Overland 4 does not change the road, but it does
change the manner in which you can ride on it. It
gives you comfort instead of dis-comfort. It gives
you a smooth, sailing sensation instead of bouncing
and swaying.
The Diagonal attachment of Three-Point Canti­
lever Springs at theendsofa 130-inch Springbase gives
long wheelbase road steadiness. YetOverland x
4 retains all the advantages—lightness, econ- ¡1

Preacher Gone Wrong.
ARMOURED INNER TUBES
Prevents Punctures and Blowouts
St. Louis preacher is quoted in
the local paper as saying: “The Pon-
tius Pilates are the men who are now
opposing the league.” And in the
same sermon as saying: "The man
¡carrying the hod Is now receiving
$7.50 a day—four times as much as
I the average preacher receives. Think
|of it—that condition as between the
jman who carries the hod and a
!preacher who looks after our morals”
If the first statement credited to
this preacher by the St.Louis papers
is correct, then there are some people
in the ministry who are very heavily
overpaid if they are getting as much
as a hodcarrier; for the faithful hod­
carrier is doing a far greater service
than any minister who makes the
statement credited to this preacher
that “the Pontius Pilates are the
men who are now opposing the
'league.” The hodcarrier at least lifts
to a higher level; this kind of
preacher carries the truth down­
ward into the mire of slander and
the bearer of false witness.
Armoured Inner Tires are a practical, common sense,
money-saving tire necessity for all tire users. By
preventing punctures and blowouts, they add plea­
sure safety and economy to motoring. Lubricated
inside and out, they require no cementing aud no vul­
canizing. Placed on your tires as easily as inner tube.

He Kept Us Out of War."
