measures to Congress which it
deemed of an Importance sufficient
to engage its attention. 1t also could
set its face like flint against "nork

In Great Britain members of +ho
House of Commons, HAVING ,i+tla
else to do and being clothed with
an authority which they can brino n
bear by marshaling majority Of tbe
House against the government. have
constituted themselves into sort of
mentor, or committee Of schoolmas-
ters, to prod the ministers of the
Crown with questions on their meth
DDS in the conduct of both the ex-
ecutive and legislative affairs of the
government, and in case of party
lnsurrection to drive the govern
ment from power.
The kind of party council here
suggested could have little power or
influence at its inception, and it
would hesitate to take responsible
ity which might be ignored or even
resented. But the power and influ-
ence expressed by national part,
conventions, instruments in politics
beyond law and public authority
could be developed SO that it woulc
be extended beyond the single great
and important purpose of nominal
ing and forming the basis for the
election in policies, programme anc
platform of President of the
United States.

Platform That Will Stand Strain of -Four Years Demande
To-Day's Prize Letter

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One Of the practices of our
English cousins could be available in
suggesting improvements in the meth
ods of legislation in our House of
Representatives. A bill of q private
member in the House of Commons OBJ
tains place before that house only in
difference to government bills. Very
few bills which become laws are
conceived in the Commons. The
important measures, those having
the right of way, have very differ
ent beginning, Immediately before
a converting of Parliament.
The great English political party
supporting the government in pow
er holds a conference OF it's leaders,
and this conference dictates not only
the legislation to submit to the
Commons but the order in which it
is to be submitted. From this die
tation the expert lawyers of the
Cabinet draft bills and the Kings
speech from the throne is framed.
This is development of party
government. The plan being pursued
by Mr.. Hays, in calling to his as
sistance' leading Republicans the
country over, and in appointing from
among them committee on party
policies and platform" and now, in
advance of the Republican National
Convention, framing suggestions for
that conventions platform, is a step
in that direction.
A further step could be an ac-
ceptance of more responsibility by
the permanent national party COM
mittee or by a continuing party
council, appointed by that commit
tee or by the national convention.
and consequent assumption of
party responsibility and power in
policies above mere politics by that
party council. This party council

Oppose Soldier Bonus

AS the founders of our government
believed the greatest honor that could
come to any citizen was to serve his
country in its defense against its enc
mics, we, as Republicans, believe that
it would be casting a stain upon the
flag and upon the men who have fallen
in its defense to put a price in the
shape of bonus on the services of the
men who so nobly served their coun-
try in the World War. We believe
that it is the duty of every citizen to
sacrifice for the nations homer

In view of the doubt existing in

other efficient means that may be de-

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The attempted distortion Of pos

OF the characteristic incompetency OF

Define Interpretation

We favor an amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States
definitely setting forth means of
determining when the President of
the United States is incapacitated
for service, in order forever to pre-

executive department during the
present Presidents illness, when for
months this great nation was virtual

state that is continually buzzing with
activity and whose work has met with
the commentator of everyone.
They specialize in roofing on new
homes or over shingles. The mater
ills used by this concern are the lat
est scientific development in the roof
ing world, having answered all the
tests, including the test of time. The
chief advantages of their roofing are
that it is fireproof, never leaks, lasts
longer than single roofs and pre-.
SCENTS an appearance from an arch
itectural standpoint that is very
pleasing to the most critical. They
will furnish it either in the single
effect or in strips and are thus pre-
pared to meet the demands of all
classes of buildings.
They have covered thousands of
roofs in this section of the state and
the work has met with the commenda-
ton of the purchasers in every case.

This is one of the large trading
centers of this section and is head
quarters of thousands of people each
year. Because of the limitation of
space we will not attempt even a
brief review of the large stock of this
concern at this time, but such would
not be necessary. This establishment
has established an enviable reputa-
ton for goods of quality, extent of
stock and reasonableness of prices
that draws trade not only from it's
home city but from the surrounding
country for quite a distance.
1t is a we'll known fact that there is
no one institution in the community
that has met with greater favor with
the public than this we'll known estab-

One of the most essential features
of any community is satisfactory
light and power service. The
term satisfactory service applies
not only to the quality of power
furnished but also to the equipment,
the general conduct of the business
and the rate charged. In this re-
spect, let us say right here that
Pleasantville and Ocean county are
indeed fortunate in having a service
furnished by the Atlantic City Elec-
trio Company, which supplies many
cities in this county as we'll as furn-
ishing all the power requirements in
such cities at Atlantic City, Pleasant
vile and many towns and villages in
this county. This popular concern
early realized that the best is none
too good, and therefore, their aim is
to furnish the best service at all
times. By reason of the fact that

There are many ways of keeping
down the expenses of operating an
automobile, and one of them is by
watching your tires closely. Some
owners think that as soon as the cas-
ing shows the least sign of year it is
dangerous to use it longer, and hence
they are always complaining about
the ever-increasing tire expense.
In this section old tires are made
like new at this modern and up-to-
date establishment, under most eff
Gent and able direction. It has
proved that vulcanized tires from
this establishment will save owners
many a dollar. Only experienced men
are found here. Only the most mod
ern and scientifically correct machin-
cry is in use and the best work turn
ed out. Therefore satisfaction is
guaranteed. 1t takes experience and
proper equipment to vulcanize tires
properly, and that is why this vulcan
izing excels.
New tires are also a feature of
this establishment. In keeping with

Under the direction of men of ex-

only such help it is competent to
