Two Monuments in Capital.
In the city Of Washington there are
two Lincoln monuments. besides a me-

almost 300 portraits OF the martyr
president, besides various interesting
mementos of his life and associations.
One of the monuments in the ma

IS a fine marble shaft, surmounted by
a statue of the war president. 1t was
unveiled by President Johnson in 1868.

side byside. Outside Of the fact that ,as
a genera. rule rather more Difference
seemed to be paid to the views Of the
few delegates who were aware of their
respective rank they were absolute
ly on an equal footing.
Politics Barred.
There may have been some profess
sional politicians, present. and some
may have planned to work the con
.vention for their own m If so, the
efforts were SO abortive, that they
never even reached the floor of the
convention. One resolution was Of
fered which might have had a poll
cal significance. 1t was buried so
deeply and SO. quickly under a chorus
slightest effort to inject politics into
any of the discussions from that time
on.
That Bonus Question.
The question of additional bonuses
for the returned service men was
taken up with careful consideration.
1t was the general feeling of the con
vention that the present state law wa
unsatisfactory. The resolution, asking
that the restrictions be removed so
as to make the money from the state
available for the payment of debts, for
investment in any legitimate business,
ETC., was the result.
In passing this resolution the dele
gates felt that the state legislators had
been honestly DESTROYS of helping the
returned service men, and would well
come the advice of the legion on the
matter. AS it stands now the state
bonus will be of no use to many of
the former fighters. The legion has
merely pointed THIS out to the legis-
lature, and has asked that propertac-
"hold up" the state. Certain recon-
mendations have been made, and the
legislators may now deal with the
matter as they thing best.
s"'Treat Slackers Rough.''
On one principle, however; the
members of the legion showed them.
selves to be a unit in demanding that
there should be no compromise. This
is in the matter of the treatment OF
slackers, Conscientious objector.
and draft evaders. These men will
have a hard row to hoe If the legion
has its way. Some of those now ir
"soft jobs will be the first to feel the
blow, but the campaign is to be unre.

Under the resolutions passed at the
convention, the legion demands. tina,
the honorable discharges from serv.
ice granted a large number Of these
slackers by the grace of Secretary
Baker be rescinded,. and that the
members of the legion in all parts O
the country unite to make things
warm for such of them as are nov
holding down jobs which should right

There was no oratory. "Don't talk.
act" was the cry of the delegates as
they impatiently pushed their way
through an occasional barrage Of
words which seemed intended to turn
them aside from their objective.
It became evident early,i in the pro-
ceedings that no one man or set of
men would dominate the convention.
Conditions along this line must have
been highly disappointing to the
enemies of the legion who have been
prophesying that the organization
would be dominated by the officers by

POPULAR AUTO RACE
 DRIVER BUYS ESSEX

Ira Vail, the noted racing driver, has purchased an Essex five passenger phaeton for his own use. After driving it more than 2,200 miles, he declared that he had never seen any car that equalled the Essex in getaway or econ omy and that it's performance was amazing.
 q have never seen any car that equaled the Essex in getaway" he de- clared, "It's power and ease of con- trol are amazing while at the same time it is the most economical car have ever driven. It's performance is only equalled by it's endurance and reliability. In easy driving qualities it is equalled by few cars..'
 We find that Vairs opinion,' said Cal Messner, distributor for Essex cars in Arizona, lis also held by many of the prominent purchasers of Essex cars in this city. The Essex especially appeals in city driving because of its control in crowded traffic and in it's ability to pass up other cars on the road thereby saving it's owner the dis comfort of taking the other fellow S dust It's power is also especially ap- preciated in mountain driving and we l have had many favorable reports from vacation parties who have driven Es- sex cars on their Sierra trips"
