its claims to value leadership" says
John Wadleigh of Wadleigh d Son.
Though Nash prices are still main
tanned at the same low level, the
fundamental construction and design
of the cars have undergone marked
improvements; including new and
outstanding body creations; many
appointments and practical conven-
fences have also been added and
there is definite and finer perform
ance that is Immediately apparent.
There are thirteen models in the
new Nash line, open and closed cars.

others on the four cylinder chassis.
The line thus offers the buyer a
wide range to choose from.
particular interest is conferred
upon the new Victoria, the latest
addition to the Nash enclosed line.
Swung low on a full 1877 inch wheel
base the Victoria is perfect pic
ture of motor car grace.
A conspicuous feature is the
smartly tilted windshield which
broadens the drivers area of vision.
And equally distinctive is the sweep
ing square deck with it's low built
in trunk. Aluminium bars mounted
on the top of the trunk add to the
cars distinctive appearance. Practi-
cally every convenience of equipment
comes with the Victoria.
Another Nash model that is Great
ing quite sensation is the beautiful
big seven passenger sedan. It's wind
shield is also sloped with admirable
technique and its appointments are
as complete and luxurious as those
of the Victoria. The body design
of this New Nash sedan is distinc-
lively beautiful and executed.
Among the new four cylinder
Nash models the most interesting
changes have been made in the Car
riole. 1t is now finished in rich
maroon with shining black Thinning
gear and tenders.
"All of our Nash four cylinder
models have the new cowl ventilator;
kick plates; more efficient breaking
system: and new type gas and spark
control. the open models the doors
now contain large pockets for stor-
ing the curtains.
THE most striking advancement in

women, fogg.ng men and numbering
those defiant to them. The fundamen-
tails are the same in all cases. Always
the autocrat is able to invoke moral
principle in justifydng his slaughter
of free and fair government.
A true democracy implies obliga-
tions of citizenship from each mem
Der. II demands a strict accountable
| ity of that citizenship and in theory
does away with the necessity OF a
policeman. In a political way it
exempIif1es the spirit of the Golden
Rule. 1t is the practical working in
modern life of the principles enunci-
ated by Jesus of Nazareth. "a
But to demand these high things
Democracy must give certain guar
antees. 1t must give equal rights to
each citizen. 1t allows no man to set
himself up as better than another.
1t must guarantee to all that when a
maiority have voted a certain way the
result must stand as the law of the
land.
Poo-bahs big or poo-bahs little
cannot stultify or ignore these vital
principles without peril to themselves
and the country at large. Democracy
cannot be Knocked. Ignore the will Of
the majority and you create smolder-
ing resentment that will not quench.
Take away a mans rights and you
create an anarch. You cannot kill his
respect for the law by ignoring his
spoken voice and then expect him to
lamely forget the injustice done him
and support a system that has be-
trayed him. Failure to understand
and practice the dual obligation of the
state to the citizen and the citizen to
the state is largely responsible for the
present-day breakdown of our insti-
buttons.
Our freedom is based upon three
free things-free religious belief, free
schools and free press or full and
open discussion of all issues. All
free things are continually in danger
from those who would control public
opinion for their own selfish ends.
-OOO--
The Herald does not always agree
with those writing to our forum. But
open, free discussion is a part of a
democratic government and we take
very seriously the obligation of the
press. Newspapers have been granted
broad privileges by congress because
of this principle. We advise publish
ers who are not conversant to inform
themselves.

but are other people?
