Performance limitations have naturally
grouped cars into classes. Certain cars may
be depended upon for unlimited service. They
know no frontiers of distance. They are de-
pcndable and require practically no attention.
But such cars are large and costly, costly
to buy and to operate.
An exception is the Essex. Its perform
ance qualities can be demonstrated at any time.
Take ride with us to see how it can be
driven just as easily, as fast and with as much
certainty of endurance as any high-priced car

ExtravaQance.

It makes no difference who adminis- ters the extravaganza or how high the purpose is, extravaganza is an evil in itself There is somewhat in the very fact that invites venality and corrup- tion. The very sight of great pile of money excites desire that too often finds some way for satisfying itself. The papers are full of instances of this kind. In fact. we could write a pretty good history of the country If we limited our narrative to graft and grabbing only, and yet much of 1t is overlooked because 1t is usual and ex pected. Extravaganza has made many an unearned fortune and 1t is doing as much these days, especially in govern ment contracts. This country should hasten to apply the doctrine that an Overcharge is a crime and that profit eering Is treason. There Is nothing that so destroys the democratic level of nation, whether It appears on the heights or in the depths.-Ohio State Journal.
