THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, DEC. 2, 1916. ,! t Which Do You Prefer? Pullman or Freight ? No one would think of riding in a freight car if he could enjoy the comfort of a big, comfortable easy riding Pullman parlor car. So with automobiles. Most of the popular priced cars ride like freight cars. This is due to the old fashioned type of spring. Many manufacturers still continue to use them. The Overland does not. The 75 B Overland has the latest type of cantilever shock absorbing springs. As a result it is one of the easiest riding cars in the world. One demonstration will prove this. $ 635 f. o. b. Toledo.

I Twenty-One Sign RollPer : manent Organization To Be Made Dec. 14 The Election and a Look Ahead President Wilson 'will enter upon his ecoml term n majority President, which be was uot at his firm election. He re ceived over a million votes more t li it year than four years ago. He ha a majority in the Klectorul College of ten votes, and a popular plurality of some thing over 400,000 votes. This is the smallest electoral majority aine.e the fa mous contested election of president and the broad principles that will be applied to their consideration. We know the man, not only as man, but as president. We have seen him at, work in the White House; we have ob served liim face to face with congress. We do not need to guess what kind of a presideut he will make. We know. President Wilson will continue to be a democrat in the party sense of the Haves iu 1870: and the smallest popular word. He will lint irivn 1111 ensilv tin. plurality Since llio nnuuu """" Irover Cleveland in litt8. llc.Kinley at bis two elections received popular plur alities of 000,000 and 850,000 respec tively, Konsevelt a plurality of two ond commanding position he has achieved as leader of his party. He will naturally go on doing the things that have given him thnt leadership and that will make it possible tor him to keep it. In so do- e halt minion, ami un p iw7 nig, lie will doubtless condone some- million and a quarter, tour years ngo times, for the sake of party harmony nnrt effectiveness, things that are rath er "practical" than ethical. But if the net result of his leadership, especially in legislation, is an admirable as it has beeu during his first term, the coun try muy well overlook some small amount of "practical" politics. Mr. Wilson has used his commanding influence ns party leader on behalf of the, general welfare. He Jias been no servant of special interests; hn has con ceived himself to be the people's ndvo cute, and he has played the part in full loyalty to his own high conception of its requirements. There is every reason to bo convinced that ho will depart in no degree from the course he has thus charted for himself. The president will continue to be a democrat in the broad inclining of the word, tie has a hearty belief in the Mr. Wilson led his nearest opponent by ..... . ..A...u kn l a Utile over two nnuun vun-n, vui Roosevelt and Mr. Taft together receiv ed considerably more than n million Totes more than Mr. Wilson. The demo crats this year carried thirty states and the republicans eighteen; but the ag gregate population of the republican states was slightly greater than that of ho democratic statin. It was a narrow mnrgin for the presi dent. A difference of less than four thousand votes In California, the state whoso thirteen electoral votes turned the scale finally against Mr. Hughes, would have changed the result. But the victory, narrow as it was, is an linden iablo triumph for JIr. WilBon personal y. It was his administration that was n trial, in so far, moreover, as the vot ers were judging the legislative record f tho democratic party during the past threo years, it was a record which his baud had done more than any other tnma whatever to write. It was a sectional victory perhaps ene might be pardoned for saying a two-sectional victory. It was the solid south and an almost solid west Oregon and South Dakota the exceptions against an almost solid east and middle west ricw iiampsnire ami vmu inning similarly on the other side. The significance of tho result would seem to consist of four elements, some ef which overlup and intertwine. Thiy are these: (1) The approval by the west ot the president's success iu "keeping ns out f war;" (2) The support of the women iu the suffrage states, only two of which, Ore gon and Illinois, went into the republi can column; (3) Tho conviction on the part of tho western progressives, who are mine radical und warm -hearted than their eastern brothers, thnt Mr. Wilson was Biore their kind of n progressive than Mr. Hughes, uud their belief that the democratic party under the leudersliip of Mr. Wilson is the present puny ui progress, while the republican party un-1 tier its present leadership is tho party of the backward look; (4) The willingness of the lepubli-. can candidate to content himself with I an attack upon Mr. Wilson uud" his) deeds, and the failure of the republi can campaign to develop any kind ol positive nppeul to the voter. The election luis one clear lesson for the American politician. The American people in this generation are on the side of progress. No party can win to power that ignores that fad. The democratic, party was successful this year because it hiid faithfully followed a progressive leader. The republican party failed, in spite of the fact that its candidate was an acknowledged enemy of reaction and his principal ally the founder of the late progressive party, because its leader ship, as displayed at the Chicago con vention and later, carried no conviction ef enlightenment, displayed no deter Biiiiatton to forgo ahead. There is a kind of relief that comes with the re-election of a presideut. There is none of the nervous uncertain ty involved in "swapping horses" mid stream. Wo know what to expect. If we cannot foresee the specific acts and accomplishments thnt lie behind the mists of the future, we do know the apirit in which they will be conceived the business of government iu a democ racy is to preserve his rights and his well-being from the encroachments of ! the few. "A nation is as great, and only us great, as her rank and file," il one" of his striking statements of this belief. Another runs thus, '.'The great problem of government is to know what the average man is experiencing and is thinking about." Hut Mr. Wilson puts perhaps too great an emphasis upon the importance of knowing whut tho average man isj thinking about. He is iu great danger' of neglecting one of the most vital fuue-j tions of leadership, that of pointing out j new pains ror ins loiiowcrs iu ucuu. is wont to wait for the people to tell' . , him what they want, instead of setting!

In so doing he will be following the preponderant desire of the American people. But he will find him self compelled to commit inconsistencies and to cut his coat according to the cloth provided by others. 1'or it is near ly us true that it takes two to prevent a' quarrel as it is that one counot make a quarrel alone.

The next meeting will be held Thursday night, llei-eiuber 14 when a permanent orgam.nl ion will be effected. The organization Inst evening was mider the direction of the Itev. .Fames Heady, pastor of the Unitarian church. Mr. ileudy has been engaged in boys work nil the way from being n news boy himself, to that of holding the responsible position as circulation man aHer of a large newspaper in Califor nia. In talking to the boys last evening. Mr. Heady told them the management of the club would be entirely iu their hands and that their work was not only to help themselves, but to uid other boys. The work of the club will not con flict with school work, church work or the activities of the Y. M. C. A. The club will be for the purpose of help ing everybody to find what he cun do best for and to help find a way to do it, Mr. Heady said. 1'art of the plans of the Junior Com mercial club is to establish a court whereby officers of tho club may bring offenders before the junior court and if necessary before the higher city courts. Another plan is to have an employ ment bureau in which some of the old er boys will aid the others in securing odd jobs out of school hours. Any one needing the help of a boy for a few hours will be able to secure one at once. Prom tune to time, members of the Commercial club will talk to the -boys at their meetings and will co-operate with the in every way advisnblc.
