The booth OF the Minot Auto Com.

started for the. purpose Of making a

IN the radiator and the gage shows
that only about a common table glass

This test is one that few auto man.

try.
The telegram, above was received
by the Mlnot Auto Co.. this morning
from J. N. WHY'S, who IS president
Of the Willys.O Overland Company,
the manufacturers of the Overland
car, who assures the Minot Auto
Company that every a turned out

This car on. exhibition was taken
from the stock room of the Minot
Auto Company and vas given no
more attention than any other car

There have been visitors to the
fair who have been undecided as to
what car they; would buy this year,
but this wonderful test has convinced
them that the Overland is the best
built and the most economical car
for the money that is on the market
today and many orders have been
placed as a result of the advertising
given this week.

GREAT ORATOR
REACHES 60

New York, Feb. 2S.-W. B0urke
Cochran, once one of the most widely
known men in America but Of whom
the public has heard very little OF
late years, celebrated his sixtieth
birthday anniversary today. Five
years ago Mr.. Cochran ended his car
eer in congress and etired to private
life. His appearances in public since
that time have been very infrequent.
Mr.. Cochran will long be remem-
bered as n of the greatest orators
OF his generation. When he was at
the height of his career he was in
great demand as a public speaker.
His e%loqnence was heard in many cit
les and on many themes. Few who
heard him can ever forget the mas
1erly speech he made against the
nomination of Grover Cleveland at
the democratic convention in Chi
cago in 1892. >.,. ..;
It was in County Sligo, Ireland,
that Mr.. Cochran was born sixty
years ago today. In 1876 he was ad-
mitted to the bar. His rise in the
profession was rapid. lie vas taken
UP by the leaders of the Irving Hall
Democracy, and first attracted at.
tention as the spokesman of that or
g%anization in the state convention in
Albany in 1881. Two years later he
entered Tammany Hall and became a
prominent worker in that orgaaiza-
ton. He was first elected to con-
gress in 1888. In the memorable cam.
paignN Of 1896 he became an advocate
of the gold standard and took the
stump for Mckinley. On the issut
Of anti-imperialism he returned to
the democratic party four years lat
er and participated in the Bryan cam
paign: Ho returned to congress on
the Democratic ticket in 1904 aad
continued to serve until 1909.

we are now writing will doubtless
bring indignant letters to this office
asking when the Evening Post sold
out to the Catholic church. It is
for snch inquiries that the violent an.
ti-CathOlic paper, the Melty3s. g
lists. II it goes to the white house. as
we suppose it does we presume it
instantly finds its fit receptacle in
the waste basket. And much other
literature of the sort, with letters
sent in by people whose crankiness
takes the form of dread lest they
fall into the clutches of Rome, de-
serves to find, and unquestionably
doth find, the same destination. The
president Is nc more bound to read
and consider a letter filled with crazy
assertions about the Catholics than
he is to waste his time over a com
munication from General Coxey or
Mother Jones or the discoveries of
perpetual motion or the philosophers
stone. It is doubtless true that Mr..
Tumulty prevents a good deal Of this
sort of stuff from ever bothering the
president. II he does not he does
not do his duty.
Having thus given our opinion of
this latest Catholic plot we are bound,
to add a world about the great mis-
chief which is done whenever the
Catholic church, or anybody profess.
ing to speak of it does not try to
exert the influence Of Catholics as
a unit in any election having to do
with general political questios and
results. We do not say this because
We dislike the Catholic church in 20.
litics more than any other church. II
it were a question Of the Baptists
voting one ticket solidly, we should
feel precisely the same about 1t. In
President Grants time it used to be
said that the MethOdists voted for
his as one man, and that Methodist
bishops owned the white house. This
a responsibility in which they
might well have disclaimed! If the
P~resbyterians were to rally unitedly
to the support Of President Wilson
merely because he is a Presbyterian,
it would be as Objectionable as if
Catholics were so to act. Possibly.
the latter are more tempted to make
themselves felt as a political unit-or
politicians are more inclined to seek
their ALLOWING to the. fact that
their communications are, as a class;
more subject to ecclesiastical control
than are members Of most other
churches. In any case, the thing is
bad, and should have no place in our
public life. The very doubt that it
may exist WORKS to the prejudice OF a
candidate for Office, as well as some
times to his advantage. 1t has been
freely said. for example, that Gov.
Glynn feels the fact that he Is a Ca
tholic would be hntful to him if he
were to be nominated for reelection.
1t ought to count neither for nor
against him. And the Catholic au,
thorities ought vigilantly to see to It
that, both in the interests of their
own church, and for the sake OF Ca.
tholics who are public men. all sus-
piciOns of the kind mentioned should
be given a qMietus.
