Unspeakable Insolence Of Office

The overbearing insolence of some

the fact that an Office Holding Arts.

Among our officials there are some
honorable exceptions-some men who
feel that they are III Office to serve
the people.
But there are others-and their
number is ncreasing-who imagine
that the only thing the average citizen
Is good for is to vote.
Party allegiance is forgotten when
they are sworn in and the Jobs go
to relatives, regardless Of party or fit.

The Office Holding Aristocracy has
no use for the voter after he has used

EsC0 MOTOR LOCK Wins
Product of Esco Motor Lock
Company Of Chicago, Approved
by National. Board of Under.
writers as Theft.Proof.

There have been many locks put on
the market, supposedly protecting
owners Of cars from theft. but the
trouble has been that most Of them
have been made for attachment In

tingency by the production Of the
Esc0 Motor Lock, which automatical.
ly locks the ignition and gasoline by
merely pushing small lever, and 1t
requires a special yale" key to un.
lock the same.
The Esco Motor Lock Is a small
contrivance and Is sold under an alb
s0lute guarantee, serviceable as long
as the car on which It Is attached
lasts. The very fact that this lock
has received the approval and recon.
mendation Of the National Board Of
Underwriters Laboratories Is the best
demonstration Of the value OF the
same. as this board Is the court of
resort for all articles having to do
with protection. and inasmuch as
many insurance companies which
wrote auto theft insurance stopped
the same on account of the lack Of
proper protection but are now ad.
vised that they can take this risk
again as result Of the efficiency of
the Esco Motor Lock, theft insurance
is again possible.

ROMANCE OF THE BAHAMAS.

During the American war between

the dev1l-may-care emporium of contra
band cotton, whereby hangs many a
dashing sea story, some of which you
can still hear from the lips of the men
who took part in them.
The whole history of the Bahamas,
since Columbus made his first landfall
in the western seas on Watling's is
land, has been fantastic record Of
desperate OppOrtunism. The prose of
''legitimate'' business has seldom dull
ed the edge Of precarious prosperity on
these derelict islands, whose very eX-
istence still seems at the grudging mer-
cy of the sea.
Buccaneering, wrecking and blockade
running-nC more tedious employ than
these masculine professions occupied
the Bahamians for generations, and so
long as there We're merchantmen to be
boarded or scuttled, rich cargoes to be
harvested from the white fanged reefs
Or cotton to be run to Wilmington at a
profit of 100000 the trip life in Mas
sau was a purple princely thing, and
even the shoeblacks in Bay street play
