SPEECH PRAISED
 BY REPUBLICANS
Call Coolidee'S Address a Con.
 StruCtiVe Talk

Washington. Aug. is.-President coolidge's acceptance speech last night met with an enthusiastic recep- ton among republican chiefs and added greatly to the already strong impression among iheso leaders that the Coolidge e-Dawes ticket will be elected decisively in November.
 Comment on all hands was that the constructive character of the presi- dents address had afforded tho party n basis for appeal to the American people which could not fail. in the course of the next eleven weeks, to be profoundly convincing to the voters. At
 Free From Personalities
 It was remarked on every side that the address of the president, in sharp contrast to the utterances of MT. Davis and others of his opponents was free from things personal and was a calm, dispassionate and in- cisive discussion of the problems which have confronted the govern ment and which will confront it. It was pointed out that the Coolidge speech answers clearly and emphatic ally the important question which stands out in the minds of the voters, and that is what the next admins tration purposes to accomplish in the public interest. Along with that is a setting forth in succinct terms of the aims and purposes of the adminis- tration.
 President Coolidge, republican chiefs agreed. had laid before the country a great constructive program for which he will stand if elected, a program which it will be difficult if not impossible for either Mir. Davis or Senator La Toilette successfully to attack. 4..ss4.
 Party Leaders Enthusiastic.
 As result, there is optimism and marked enthusiasm in the republican camp.
 Before the speech was delivered there was a noteworthy tone of hope fulness and confidence. Incoming party leaders from all sections of the voiced their belief that Cool Idge would win in November and a congress would be elected | These leaders have had their confl- fence materially strengthened by the | presidents utterances.

CONFINEMENT IS
 GONE FOREVER No longer Virtue ID Be Meek And Lowly In Adversity

Alas for the virtue of contentment as preached by Dr. Watts and thou sand other moralists! Alas for honest John Tomkins, the hedger and ditcher, who, although he was poor, did not want to be richer!' Alas for the day when a pious satisfaction with ones lot, however humble, would call down praises upon ones head!
 For that day is threatened with ex- tinction. Champions of the proletariat have embarked upon campaign against the hymns and maxims that voice meek acQuiescence in the ar engagements of Providence.
 The rich man in his castle
 The poor man at his gate
 Good made them high and lowly,
 And ordered their estate

School children have been sing ing the hymn for years, but now the drift of 1t Is denounced as inappropri- ate in a country where the working man may get into parliament and be- come prime minister, says the New York Sun and Globe.
 In this country, although the Pilgrim Fathers preached contentment with ones divinely appointed lot, the doc Urine was weakened somewhat by the tendency of poor Americans to make themselves suddenly rich. But that did not prevent them from singing hymns of contentment with the greatest gusto, of from holding up to their less fortunate neighbors such edifying ex- amples as honest John Tompkins, with

WHAT SHOULD
 OWN ER PA
 IN BUYING CAR
Rx PRRCY CHAMBERI.lAIN

Following . RotAry club meettne in Worcester Mass, ,a man asked nc if it is true that most lautomibile repair departments lose money. IL is general- iyt true. Few dealers in automobiles have shown . profit in the maintain ance departments of their establish ments. ;s siss
 This man made an interesting state4 meut as the reason for his question. He said that he had very cloae friend in the automobile business.
 ~ have always refused 10 buy one of his cars because he told me he flogt money in his repair departments and thnt most of his dealers did. I know enough about business management to realize that I cannot ret proper service from a department which is losing money. i.l ;. ',
 ! It indicates the light which is slow. ly but surely dispelling the darkness q ,nisunderstandinS upon the part oi i automobile owners about service. H more owners thought as did this man i+ would result in much greater eff ciency in automobile repairing methods, with its consequent saving to customers.
 Much progress has been made; If anyone doubts 1t let him spend an hour or SO with the manager of the maintainance department of . modern, legitimate automobile business. Much is yet to be done. It can be be done only as the customer enables the auto mobile merchant to show a profit where he should show a profit.
 Modern time-saving equipment costs money. Development of skilled work men costs more money. Any organiza- tion which approaches . 100 per cent service must employ well-paid, con- tented, permanent workmen.
 In view of the ''frec'' work, so called ."adiustments" and other things which the mass of owners have demanded. 1t is surprising that any progress has been made along this line. It IS hard in Q losing business.
 The purchaser of an automobile gets value received for every dollar he puts into the vehicle--if he exercises proper judgment in buying. His car is as per feet mechanically as it is possible to build it. He buys it at low cost. compa ra lively, because American methods have made quantity produc- tion possible.

it apply to the manufacture of any thing under the sun? ;,
 When it does happen, the purchasef is protected. Whatever may bc said about the automobile business 1t has been ever ready to make good to the customer on matter of guarantee. In fact it has leaned too far the other way in recent years. This is known as afactory guarantee" within the Ttrade.
 Guarantee of the new automobile should be without cost to the purchaser. And it has been. In all fairness let us admit that it has been abused by own CTS. It is well known in the trade that large percentage of refunds on ac- cunt Of guarantee are policy ad- justments." They have been made at great expense because of the nature of competition in selling automobiles.
 When retailer has delivered an automobile in perfect condition -and has guaranteed its condition to the purchaser has but one other obli- ration a1 a merchant. That is the ob- igation to maintain an organization which has the ability to serve it's pat rons in every way. The owner gets full value for the money he pays Manufacturer and retailer--dealer-- have made legitimate profit on the sale.
 It has been the fault of the trade it. self that the transaction up to this point has not been definitely separa ted from future transactions.
 Purchasers of automobiles have ex- pected much more-and have gotten 1t. Many automobile dealers today, even maintain that their so-called service department should not make any money. But thinking men---both dealers and owners--know that custo- mer satisfaction comes from a real ability to serve rather than from some thing for nothing.
 The owner, who takes care of his automobile, would rather know he can get service when he really needs it, than to have his automobile made an orphan" in the community because
