of getting away from the responsi

to join the "safety first” movement
and reduce the number of accidents.

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

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

freer (with those who have it at all)
living was never so luxurious (for
those who can afford anything more
than necessaries).

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

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.—
