OUR WEATHER EYE
The Contaminated Spring

At the beginning of a presidential
year, it is interesting to notice the
forces that are at work or ready ts,
go to work at the great task of per
suading the citizens OF our country
how to vote.
Last week it was urged in this
column that the first duty Of every
voter just now is to clear from his
mind the cobwebs of party preju-
dice and to look for and to stand
for whatever is just and right res
gardless of where it may be found.
Of course this suggests an inter-
esting question as to the duty of
the newspapers of our country.
Why should not they be expected
to meet precisely the same high
standards Of civic righteousness as
their readers? Why should they be
biased purveyors Of. misleading in
formation, meant to further the
ends of political leaders who know
nothing and care nothing for their
readers.
Nothing is more pitiful than the
country newspaper that has sold it
self for a mess Of pottage. Yet
there are many thousands OF them
thruout the land. Their eyes seer
closed to the welfare of their hor
friends who support them but wi
open to the cunning policies of
distant bosses of their, political
CARNATIONS.
For long time the people
America have been played for es
marks by the political organs of t
country. 1t seems to be abe
time that the binders were
moved SO that they can look
things for themselves little bette

A TERRIFIC TEST.

The supreme endurance and reli-

most terrific tests to which an auto
mobile has ever been subjected.
Driven at top speed for fifty hours
an Essex stock touring ear has set
new worlds long distance endur-
ance mark by covering SO37 miles at
the rate Of more than go miles an
hour on the Cincinnati Speedway.
The. test was made under american
Automobile Association observation,
the car used being olAicially vouch-
ed for as being identical with every
Essex built. This means that won
derful as this achievement is, it may
be duplicated by any one of the 2O,-
600 Essex cars now in the hands of
owners.
The Essex was put on the speed
way to prove its reliability by being
driven fifty hours at top speed. At
the end of 81 hours, 81 minutes in
the l790th mile, snow forced a stop.
"A second trial was ended by rain
after 1O42 miles had been covered
in 16 hours, 25 minutes. The third

is greater than that expressed in the
