There is only "first-class" on rail-

Drunkards In that country are an

The name doesn't make the man,

DEMOCRATS OPEN
PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT.
Generally Accepted That Presi-
dent Wilson win Not Be
a Candidate.

Washington, March 1.-The Pres
idential campaign from the Demo
cratic standpoint was opened tonight
in the opinion of political leaders
here through the acceptance by At
torney General Palmer of a place on
the Georgia state ballots. The Re-
publican campaign has been on for
several weeks but the formal an
nouncement by Mr.. Palmer in a tele-
gram to the Secretary of the Georgia
Democratic Committee that he would
be a candidate was the first to be
made public by any of those who
nave been possible choices of the
San Francisco convention.
Democratic aspirants for the NOM
ination have held back formal an
nouncements awaiting a declaration
by President Wilson as to his plans.
Although nothing had come from the
White House the open candidacy Of
the Attorney General who is particu-
lariy close to-Mr. Wilson was accept
ed in some quarters as definitely an
nounced that the President would
not enter third campaign.
With Mr.. Palmer's that in the
ring politicians look for formal an
nouncements to come quickly from
those who have been holding their
candidates. in the background.
Governor Cox Of Ohio and James
w. Gerard former ambassador to
Germany while permitting their
names to be placed on primary bal
lots have not as yet made formal an

not be candidate. Should Mr.. Bry-
an remain firm in his resolve. spec-
ulation as to the candidate to obtain
the former leaders support has been
widely discussed. Mr.. Bryan in poll
tics Is considered as having a very
friendly feeling for Attorney General

Counsel and Advice Plus
Permanent Satisfaction

''The time has passed when the
possession of any particular automo-
bile guarantees complete satisfaction
in the mind of the owner" says Mr..
]. s. Penn, of the Heidelberg Auto
Co.
Nowadays there are so many
things that enter into the purchase
of an automobile that the ability to
satisfy the owner is founded way
back in the character and experience
of the dealer who sells it to him.
I'm other days, the trademark of
the manufacturer was regarded as
the determining factor with refer
ence to car satisfaction. But the
impossibility Of standardizing the
treatment which cars receive at the
hands of their innumerable and var
ious owners, made it necessary for
someone to provide a constant and
sympathetic supervision over the an
tomobile during all the years Of its
running life.
This development of the automo-
tive industry has progressed amaz-
ingly within recent years, and the
time is now here when the reputa-
tion and stability Of the dealer is Of
greater Importance than any other
factor confronting the prospective
purchaser.
More and more people who con-
template the purchase Of an auto
mobile look to the local dealer for
counsel and advice. 1t Is also true
that they look to him for permanent

CARRIED INTO CANVASS

Getting Together on. An
Agreement.

Washington, Mar. 1. - Convinced
that for the present their labors to
break the peace treaty deadlock are
a waste of time, Senate leaders NOV
ed today to get the treaty out of the
way of pressing legislation and let
the issue raised by the ratification
fight go into the political campaign
for decision.
Some Senators predicted tonight,
the final vote on it which it is con-
ceded on all sides will result in an
other failure to ratify will come with
in three days. Among most of the
leaders, however, the prediction was
the smouldering debate would take
at least the remainder of the week
to burn itself out in spite of the gem
eral cooperation to keep 1t sharply
under control.
The decision to hasten action was
reached when the Republican leaders
convinced the Democrats would block
ratification unless the Article X re.
servation were adopted, determined
to stand by their guns and insist
that the reservation go into the rati-
hcation reservation without any
change Of substance or Of language,
In this reafflrmation they acceded to
demand by the Republican irre-
concilably opposed to ratification
who had intiTated they might a.

In thus bringing the treaty Aght to

the move by which several weeks

compromise negotiations by bringing
pressure to bear upon the Republic
can leaders when an engagement
seemed imminent.

1t has been the experience of A.
gents of the Board that veterans thus
employed could not be persuaded to
take the training, failing to take ac-
count OF their future and the fact
that the positions they were holding
could only be temporary at the best.
Offlcers of the American Legion
and other veteran organizations
throughout the country have united
with the Board in an effort to per-
suade the delinquents to take this
training without avail.

more than 5000 men entitled to such

RURAL AND URBAN ENnTY.

1t has been noticeable In Brook
haven that some persons never over
look an opportunity to stimulate en-
nifty between the rural and urban
dweller. The farmer is erroneously
led to believe that the city man is
his enemy; the city man Is told that
the farmer Is unjustIy holding him
up by exacting too much for his
products.
Neither city or country man Is
1ustifed In throwing bricks. It Is
what Is known as $3.50 PROPOSE
tion. Both have the same impulses.
Neither is giving away thing:
both are eager to obtain as much as
possible for whatever they have to
cell.
Both have opportunity to hew
close to the line Of good morals and
honest business; their transactions
should never smack OF the crook or
burglar. Business Is business. bur
when that Is said. the golden rule
must continue to operate.
