TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER 11, 1919. What the Editors Say --------o----- « Just think of it! Twenty-five thou sand industrial accidents in Oregon each year. I b it not possible for all of us to look before stepping and cut this in half in 1920? Every indus trial or other accident that puts one person out of the ranks of producers for days at a time costB each individ ual so much. There is no known way of getting away from the responsi bility. The next best thing is for all to join the "safety first” movement and reduce the number of accidents. —Polk County Observer. Here is something significant. Lady Astor has been elected to a seat in the English House of Commons— the second lady to be elected to Eng land’s legislative hall. Another lady, the Duchess of Malborough intends to become a candidate for the first suitable vacancy in parliament, has, since her election to London’s City Council last year, taken a great in terest in London’s poor. These two ladies are of American birth and parentage. Lady Astor was a Virginia girl, Nannie Langhorn, and Duchess of Malbourough was formerly Con suelo Vanderbilt of New York.—Wil lamina Times. ------ o — same story. The old customers are buying leas. But new ones have ar rived that more than make up for all the squandering of the past. Tax high priced clothing, tax silk stock- ings, tax anything, and the crowds will still flock to buy. If anyone thought that a luxury tax would dis courage spending, he has another guess. The merry-go-round was nev er spinning faster, money was never freer (with those who have it at all) living was never so luxurious (for those who can afford anything more than necessaries). And the movies go on paying Mr. McAdoo we forget how many thou- sands of dollars a week. It’s a wonderful life!—Harvey’B Weekly. COAXING YOU TO SMILE ------ o- Not In His Way. •St The man selling the six thousand dollar truck must be a good salesman. His hardest job is to justify his price to the prospective buyer. He sells compara tively few trucks through a year. His * commission per truck must be high. The list price of the six thousand dollar truck include« that sales cost. Also it includes the high overhead resulting from low production. What proportion of the price of the six thousand dollar truck is margin ? What proportion is value? Bethlehem Motor Trucks are neither overbuilt to justify a price nor under built to meet a price. They represent the middle ground. That point where quality and price combine in greatest value. Bethlehem Motor Trucks are ready to be judged as motor trucks should be judged—on their ability to transport and the cost of that trans portation. _Buy your Motor Truck on Facts. / .TT '4» Lloyd George on Prohibition. ------ o - Lloyd George told a visiting dele gation of anti-saloon workers that while he never had thought prohibi tion in Great Britian possible he was watching the .American experiment sympathetically, with a mind free from preconceived opinions. Prohibition is not on trial alone for this country. It is on trial for Chris tendom, and that big fact should in spire American peace officers, courts and juries to vigilant and unflag ging enforcement of the law. Sustained success of prohibition in this country will turn on public sen timent. If public sentiment is sus tained there will be no question about the success of what the British premier terms the "American experi ment.” The saloon will pass into the limbo of evils, but faintly remem bered by this generation and un known to the coming generation. Mooshining and bootlegging will be reduced to an inconsiderable mini mum in most states of the Union. Lloyd George’s utterance is of deep significance, for no statesman of modern times has shown a keener talent for feeling the first faint puls ings for reform movements.—Spokes man Review. Glaring headlines in the Portland Journal tells a succession of cold blooded murders reminds us that the sob sisters and sentimentalists who filled the editorial page while aboli tion of capital punishment was perfd- ing. together with the Journal’s pro tege, Os West,.are mainly responsible for the fact that Oregon is today un able to deal properly with these red- handed murderers and protect itself from a repitition of their crimes when they are turned loose a few years hence, as they surely will be. If anyone doubts this latter state ment, there is the testimony of Judge McBride that of nine felons he sen tenced for life while he was a circuit judge not one died in the prison.— Independent.

Apropos the deatli of the Rei. Dr. Joseph H. Twitchell of Hartford, friend of Mark Twain and original Harris in the letter’s "A Trantp Abroad,” Dr. F. P. Perkins said the other day: “Some years ago Dr. J. M. Buckley, the noted Methodist editor, took some clerical brethren severe ly to task for their tendency to draw on the Ideals and even the language of Joseph Parker without due ac knowledgment. While the discussion was at its height Mark Twain at tended Joe Twichell’s church and heard one of the latters finest efforts After the sermon he came for'v.,rd, grasped the preacher’s hand, ami said: “Joe, that was a good sermon, but I have a book at home that cow- tains every word of it.” Dr. Twitch ell. was taken aback, and then he waxed indignant. "If you can how me the book I’d certainiy like to see it," he rejoined. 'I gave a great deal of brain sweat to that sermon.' The next day Mark Twain sent him a copy of Webster’s Unabridged dionary.” RALPH E. WARREN, TILLAMOOK.
