used to sell lot of cars in days gone by in
simply stating the price.
Now it is all different.
People are buying cars more intelligently.
They want what they cal! ability. There are too
many cars that look alike and have the same
price tag on them. The only thing that separates
them is ability. There's all the difference in the
wide world between cars when you look at them
this way.
One car is sluggish like ploughing horse.
Another has got light foot and gets under way
without taking quarter mile to get into high.
Why, with this 34OO r. p. m. Chalmers ! forget
once in while and actually start her on high.
There aren't many cars that ever do that.
Then she runs SO everlastingly quiet | am
always little bit suspicious of her-like fellow
who doesn't talk much, but usually delivers.
She's got anything in this town beat. So far
have yet to meet her equal in pep She's got
everything from getaway to twister on hill.
Then when you come right down to look at
her. you will have to admit she's got blue eyes.
She's beautiful.
The big.to people have all fallen for her this
year. got letter from the factory the other
day telling me they had shipped $1,000 since
December l.
And there are thousand of orders untitled.
Take friendly tip and get your order on file
delayed delivery right in the best part of the driv
ing season.
You folks who have driven lot will see the
difference in jiffy. Come on down and try her
out. She's there.
La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1916-06-03

A man came in to my place the other day and
said:
What! 34OO r.p. m. Chalmers at $1,000 !
never knew Chalmers built car under 81, OOO."
So many ask the same question. We never
feature price in big type We don't sell price.
We sell car first; then tell how much it costs
afterwards
suppose we lose some sales that way. But,
of course, we have a car of such decided quality,
of such extraordinary ability, of such terrific
power from an engine that you wonder where it
all comes from-well, we just don't know how to
talk price when SO many other things bob up in
our minds.
Now take power. Here it is rated at 25.3
II. p. when you buy your license. You get her
out in mud, or sand or on hill-and bling, you
can Just double that figure.
You have got just about 100 per cent more
power than we give her credit for.
Of course, lots of cars have great big power.
But with most of them you've got to pay the
piper every time you use it. Those big power
cars have great big engines mostly, and great big
engines have terrific appetite for gas. You
know, don't need to tell you.
This 84OO r. p. m. Chalmers has an engine in
her that's got the kick.
You step on the accelerator button. and zip!
You never saw such spunk.
And not only power. but she gets away like
scared horse have to watch my foot when it
is on the little button. First thing know ! am
going too fast.
That's what the boys back at the Chalmers
plant call "acceleration." ! call it pep.
That's my language.

coNaaAruLArE THE DELEGATE

Let us congratulate Delegate wickersham on one thing He has dropped the prefix progressive" from his proIessed political designation. Four years ago he claimed to be progressive Republican" little lat CT in the same year he dropped the Republican part of the combination. and adopted the capital "P" in spelling "Prcgressive." Then he became "Svilson Progressive" then Progressive Democrat" Now he has gone back to where he stood when he opposed kind of Territorial government for Alaska. and is a Republican once more asking for the support Of the corporations which he abused for so many yeas.
 The fact is that the Delegate has never been any kind of progressive" He has opposed progressive legislation in the Territory and out Of it. He has been against giving the people of Alaska real seltgoyern- ment He has opposed legalized primaries in which the people of the Territory could give unhampered ex- pression to their desires His followers in the Legsla ture opposed legislation that would make the people secure against tant in the ballot boxes And these are os the essence of progressiysm Real progessvism n politics has not meant batting corporations for political purposes It has not meant this thing and that given to the people It has placing the people in com mand. This Is done by giving them power to act The Delegate has never tried to put the people In command
 mot n the seven years he has been Delegate nor be- fore
 Again. lots congratulate tho Delegate that he nc longer claims right to tho title progressive" with eith CT little "p" or big "P"

SENATOR sHIvELy

The death of Senator shively. Of Indiana removes from the upper branch Of the National Congress one Of ts strongest men He had only year ago entered his second Senatorial term While his health has been bad for more than two years he has been influential Sen stor and strong supporter of the administration.
 Like with so many eminent Americans. Senator shiveiy was seltmade man, and he buiIded well in the making. He was many years working his way through the university teaching school between times In lssl whno school teacher and college student he was elected to Congress as Democrat He did not quit his college work and it two years later that he was graduated from the Michigan University as lawyer He was returned to Congress on the year Of his graduation and again in 1888 and 1890 Decilng renominaaon that would have been equivalent to an election in 1892 he began the practice of law and ac cumuiated a comfortable fortune. However he could not repress an intense in politics and he lead foriorn hopes for Democracy fiji his State for Governor and Senator
 He reentered Congress as Senator in 1909 de- feating John w. Kern who two years later became his colleague in the Senate in the Democratic legislative caucus. He was always progressive always demo crat-the little d" kind-and always clean and pat riotic.

 When the roll Of Americans was called in tho Unit ed States Senate yesterday sixoish voices answered 'Herel"
 sixtyeIeht to fourteen was the vote by which the Gore scuttng resolution with its substitutes was tabled vote in which no man shared a Democrat or Re- publican and the Senate of tho American people took s place by the side of the President Of the American people to serve notice to the world that the Tag whcn floats over their heads must be respected and shall not be dishonored
 A few days ago the Speaker oi the House of Rep resentatves startled the country by the remark that such resolution that iathered by Senator Gore would carry Congress by majority of two or three to one and leaders in that body set themselves Go the work of smothering any such pronouncement and pre- venting it coming to vote.
 But the President was not built that way His head not of the ostrich variety If Speaker Champ Clark correctly estimated the situation President Wn- wanted to know it He entitled to know it 1T the American Congress was not with the American President in his determination to maintain tho sover- eigny og Che American Republic then that fact must be demonstrated So he stil startled the country by throwing down the glove Co the doubters and trim mers. With boldness never before exceeded by the head Of democracy he demanded that tho Issue be put tn test; that Congress, many of whose members persisted in medding with his constitutional prerogaye and duty he forth n the open and either the reports of ts recreancy or silence them by their repudiation.
 Almost before the country had caught its breath after this action Of the President the Senate for casting aside It's traditional sluggardness of movement had sprung It's feet and to it's place beside the Pres dent with answer that rings its meaning with enc resonance of the notes of Liberty Bell to every nook of free America and every crook of Imperial Europe.
 Your turn now men oi the House. Stand up and declare to mankind whether you represent the sniyel ers the towards the copperheads the scutera among vour constituents or whether you represent the des- cendants of those stalwarts Of 76 who having vision Of new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that an men are created equal fought as Lyman Abbott expresses it. without and ar my the greatest Of existing world empires that they mebt realize this vision" and third of century lat er fought without navy, the greatest navy In the world that they might win for their nation the iree dom of the seas."

oRlrNrALs AS AMERICANS

The statement Of Fred c. Johnstone, president or .he Alaska Fish Company and for many years real dent of Ketchikan. who has just returned from the Hawaiian Islands that the Hawaiian born Japanese and Chinese residents Of those islands intensely Amer can and han with delight their American citizenship a they become of age is only cumulative evidence Of
 what freouentiy has been demonsated But 1t Is pleas ant to think about h and speak Of It. It is reassurns to know and have 1t repeated that the environment Of American institutions and the American public schools make patriotic Americans Of Oriental races reared and educated in this country It is such complete answer to the fears of those who fear for American Instr tstions because of the great cOngOmeraton of alien races in the United States
 What tho American schools are doing in Ha' uan they have done with orientas in California and other Pacific Coast States. There arc no more loyal Americans than may be found in tho chinatowns Of various Western States.
 And that is what the public schools and industry do for an races and all coors hOwbeit the mixing Of races of different coors for other reasons than those which involve patriotism has ts own variety Of ser iously difficult problems.
 American reared children, DO matter the cline or the parents become Americans in all that the term m- plies They are patriotic and they arc devOtedly a'- taehed to the institutions Of the country

 The Caribbean ought to be an American lake, lts approaches and the territories nanzng t ought Co be under the control of the United States they cannot be administered by stable strong Latn-American goy ernments.
 Before the Spanish War the United States was without naval base in near the way to the Pacific through the Panama Canal. European nations had them but the United States did not In colonial and early republican days this nation suffered because its enemies had bases for attack upon h and it's commerce and during the Civil War Lincon's administration saw The necessity Of projecting the American establishment into the West Indies but defeated n ts effort to get possession of the Danish Islands
 In Rooseyelt's time another attempt was made, but the Danish aristocracy. influenced evidently by Ger many again defeated the treaty processes by which the United States would have purchased these small but important Danish possessions.
 Now this country is in better position, but 1t stili needs these islands Undoubtedly Germany would Ike to have them would be contrary Go American pol Icy to have them disposed of thus.
