Quality oils last longer
so it's easy to tell then,

Note the mileage you get
from your next oil-flling-
then test Crew Levick lubrI-
cants the same way, and see
for yourself whether our
long standing claim for quail
ity is justified.
Don't be surprised by the
comparison, for the differ
ence in some lubricants on
this score is really startling.
Wherever you see the Crew
Levick trademark you can
buy these Grew Levick
products.

Lubricants are used TO over
come heat-but they never
wholly succeed.
They use themselves up In
the effort, for slowly but
surely champion heat breaks
them down into useless car
bon.
A good oil, like a good
fighter, will last longer
against the champion than a
poor one-and that is the one
sure test of It's quality.

GOOD SENSE OF GOVERNOR
COOLIDGE

A few days ago the legislature OF
Massachusetts passed the 2.75 beer
bill-26 to in the senate and las to
80 in the house-and Governor Cool
idge promptly vetoed the measure. In
returning the bill he gave utterance
to words of wisdom, as follows:
There is little satisfaction in at
tempting to deceive ourselves. There
is grave danger in attempting to de-
ceive the people. If this act were
placed on the statue books of this
commonwealth today it would provide
no beer for the people No one would
dare act upon it, or if any one did he
would certainly be charged with
crime. Similar laws in other States
are to date ineffective. am opposed
to the practice of a legislative decep-
ton. It is better to proceed with can
dor. Wait until the Supreme Court of
the United States talks.
We have had too much legislation
by clamor, by tumult by pressure.
Representative government ceases
r. -. o,,4o;5o ;of1,,ouoo of onx1 blvd ;c
substituted for the judgment of the
representative. This does not mean
that the opinion of constituents is to
be ignored. It is to be weighed most
carefully, for the representative must
represent, but his oath provides that
it must be faithfully and impartially,
according to the best of his abilities
and understanding, agreeably to the
rules and regulations of the Constitu-
ton and laws"
The authority of the law is question
ed in these days all too much. The
binding obligation of obedience
against personal desire is denied in
many quarters. If these doctrines pre-
vail all organized government, all
liberty, all security are at an end.
After the legislature had heard this
sound judgment and good sense the
members turned abruptly about and
supported the governor in his opinion,
there being but few dissenting votes
The constitution of the United States
has been amended and it would be
just as fooling for man to attempt to
lift himself by his bootstraps as to
make himself believe he can step ov-
er the authority of the federal govern
ment and guzzle a schooner of BOOZE
Every man in America should adj
mire Governor Calvin Coolidge for his
honest and straightforward way of
putting things.

campaign. It is the ratification OF
the peace treaty and the assumption
by the United States of it's proper
place in the League of Nations.
The Republicans are trying to dodge
the issue. Their campaign book does
not print the covenant. Their Presi-
Dental candidate misreprcsents it, and
then tries to placate the Republican
friends CT the ratification by pron:s-
ing something else that is just as
good.
The covenant does not create a SUI
per-government of the world, as Mr..
Harding charges. Any one who reads
it will see that it does not; it only
creates an association of nations to
prevent one nation from attacking an
other until the resources Of negotia-
ton, litigation or arbitration shall
have been exhausted.
W;'liam Howard Taft has said in
writing that the covenant as whole,
ard Article X in particular, are not
open to the charges made by the orat-
ors Of his own party. Ex-Presidcnt
