The car on which she was q passen-

Although the formal motion for q

erred in some Of it's rulings and in
the granting and rejection of some

Washington To paraphrase the langu-
age Of Kipling they are keeping their

Of opposite political faith are losing
theirs, and blaming it on them. The
sensible people Of the country will not

by the critics for election purposes.
whose effort to befog the real issue is
pitiable in face Of the fact that on the
leaders Of their party rests the respon-
sibility for the very conditions about
which they complain, and the additional
fact that they too are sworn officers Of
the government charged with aiding and
not to destroy the confidence Of the
neople in their own government of their
own choosing, and maintained for them.

Of plain men who have succeeded eacn

the express purpose Of being shown
to the American people through the
auspices of Veteran organizations.
