We're For "Em Just the Same Just the same--we're strong for the great quartet. The following bit of verse by J. P. McEvoy, published recently in the Sunday magazine sec- tion of the Chicago Tribune, bears reference to motorcyclists Hansel- man and Chief Peterson of Winnet- ka, Schaeffer of Wilmette and Ley of Kenilworth. : SLAMS OF LIFE J.

McEvoy in Chicago Sunday ne Tribune 'Whenever I motor down Sheridan road, =. : i My heart seems to carry a terrible Zhi load; : a I view with alarm every thicket and tree, : For I know a policeman is looking for me; Though there's never a trace and there's never a sound; They drop from the trees and they spring from the ground. hey jump up from manholes and leap from the grass; And chase me and mine 'til we're all out of gas, 'And the moan of my motor willl mournfully say, "Tis Hanselman, Peterson, Schaef- 'fer or Ley." Time was when this drive was a rollicking treat, Undefiled by the cycle's implacable heat And you gazed on the trees and the flowers and sky With a sense of repose, chug-achuged by; But you hearken no more robin and finch; Their song is drowned out 'by the wail of the pinch And the motorists learn what the wild waveses say, (The waves may be wild, but much wilder are they) For they mournfully moan in a desolate way: as you to the "Hanselman, Peterson, Schaeffer and Ley."

"Samuel Gompers, in against a resolution in favor of gov- ernment ownership of railroads in the convention of the American Fedeéra- tion of Labor a week or two ago, said: 'No man is more loyal to gov- ernment than I, but I would not give it more power over the individual citizenship of our country.' "That expresses our personal senti- ment exactly. The people who are shouting so loudly for more govern- ment control of industry are, in our judgment, overlooking the fact that they are advocating the loss of their INRIA WEEKLY 7 VIEWS ON RAILROADS Praises Samuel Gompers' Theory On "Our theory of government, as we have said before, is that it is best when it governs least," writes Luke Grant, editor of the North Shore Bul- letin, organ of the North Shore Line, that monthly. "Russia is a good example of the other kind, where individual liberty speaking SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1920 A ---- {id re ms RU individual liberty. So far as the rail- roads are concerned, experience has demonstrated that they can be oper- ated more economically and more efficiently under private ownership and operation. "And aside from the questions of economy and efficiency there is no danger under private ownership of the railroads owning this govern- ment, in spite of the talk of some radicals. We are not so sure that under government ownership and operation the railroad employes would not control the government. We hardly think the other hundred million of us in this country are pre- pared for that. "Probably the question may be a political issue in a few months. The republican party is opposed to gov- ernment ownership and operation of railroads. At this writing the demo- cratic party platform hasn't been adopted, but we doubt if they will have the nerve to declare in favor of government ownership of rail- roads. "However, as the colored gentle- man remarked, political platforms are like the platforms on street cars-- they are not made to stand on but to get in on. And on that subject, hon- estly, doesn't it make you laugh to | ferent parties? We have noticed that the 'politicians who are most opposed to our entering the league of nations and who advocate a policy of keep- ing free of foreign entanglements are the same men who are insisting that the 'Republic' of Ireland be rec- ognized. Maybe that isn't mixing in another nation's affairs. Oh, it's 'a great game if you don't take it toa seriously." : GAS-MAKING DEVICE EXCLUSIVE FEATURE OF THE LEXINGTON "These series 'S' Lexington cars carry not only many items as.stand- ard equipment that are listed as ex- tras on most cars but many exclusive devices that cannot be found on any other car regardless of price," said C. M. McDonald, local dealer, today. "One of these, for example, is the Lexi-gasifier, literally a gas-making machine. It is a device without moving parts, consisting of a grid- iron in the intake manifold. Heavy portions of the gas, not vaporized in the carburetor, drop down onto this grid where, under an intense heat, this heavier portion of the fuel is vaporized and drawn into the cylinders. "This simple device makes for the maximum of efficiency from gas an uses every last ounce of the power units, reducing to the minimum the carboning of cylinders and befouling of spark plugs. ) $F "Taken in connection with the Moore Multiple Exhaust system, which consists of two exhaust lines, one for each three cylinders, the de- vice gives not only the greatest economy but a maximum of power, * "The Lexi-gasifier is unlike other "dry" manifolds which heat both air and gas to excessive temperatures, expanding the air and reducing the amount of oxygen units that can be 5 taken in, thereby reducing the power charge. : : "No scientific juggling of the throt- tle is necessary to get results from this new manifold with its companion device, the Moore Multiple Exhaust system. "Then there is the one-finger emergency brake; the two-way head lamps ; the cable service brake, doing away with rattling and troublesome brake rods, the one-unit frame, in which more than one hundred parts have heen eliminated without sac- rificing strength but adding to the durability of the frame.
