der such conditions merely resolves
itself into the substitution of one

When the motorist is one of the
100000 who are the moral support of

what safety plans mean and learns
to do what is necessary to the sue

rapidly gaining Roadway that no leg

out cooperation of car owners
1T requires cooperation to put

cooperation to effect the proper re-

after putting through desirable laws
motorists can, through reluctance to

SEES MOTOR MODELS
DROPPING FROM VIEW
Oscar Coohcan Tells Why Number
of Makes Pass Out of
Use.

Motorists who have watched the
passing of many makes of automo-
bues and who have speculated as to
why it should happen will be inter
ested in the reasons advanced by
Oscar Coolican, president of Packard
Washington, Inc, local Packard dis
tributor.
While many factors enter into the
demise of a prominent make, accord
ing to MIR. Coolican, the fact that the
ultimate in motor transportation has
been overlooked is the biggest reason
for most car failures. In his opinion
no motor car can succeed nowadays
unless it is prepared to offer, above
all else, sound transportation value.
"One of the cars that has just
passed out of the picture was de-
signed by the lover of fine machinery,
but without regard to its utility as
motor transportation" he explains.
THE trouble was that there were
other cars in the market that Of
fered, in addition to fine workman
ship, economy, simplicity, long life
and excellent maintenance facilities.
Cars have been built for hill
climbing, for speed, for sheer beauty,
for extreme economy and for every
other feature that is desirable In an
automobile, but none of these cars

OF all the fool gossip in this day
Of hysteria the story that The Mar
ion Star, President Harding's paper
had been purchased by the oil thiev-
es is the silliest. The price, $780,,
600 was not too high. Marion is a
town Of 10000 and the paper has a
circulation Of 10000. Editor Harding
told the editor of The Gazette
year ago that The Star made $51, 900
in 1923, and that would be more than
10 per cent of the sale price A
country newspaper in a good country
town is worth as much as it's neigh
Dor, the country bank, or the coun-
try store. Figure it up yourself and
see.
Another thing: Harding had a
rather trashy taste in friends, as
witness Ned Mclean and Colonel
Forbes, and Albert Fall; but Hard
ing was as honest as the sunlight.
His trashy, cheap, impossible friends
betrayed him But he was never for
a moment dishonest in any trans
action. The Marion Star was worth
every penny he got for it.-Emporia

COMPULSORY VOTING

A number of important people in
America are considering the wisdom
of compulsory voting. Various plans
are submitted, the best of which pro-
vides that the voter shall be reliev-
ed of a $40 poll tax.
But the question arises: Is the
opinion of the voter who refuses to
vote, or is too lazy to vote, worth
seeking? Is not voter who does
not realize the value of vote in
some way so blind that he cannot do
much good with his ballot? Perhaps
not. The fact that the thing looks
automatic is no reason why it is true.
Perhaps the compulsory vote is better
than no vote; just as the drafted sol
der often is a good ghter-Emporia

when in reality they want to do an
other. Along the Fox River valley
they have organized a Fish and
Game Protective association COM
posed of about 400 members. Now
one would suppose they desired to
protect the fish and game, but all to
the contrary. The fact is there is a
law against fishing during the spring
months and now these fellows desire
to deplete the waters of the state
They went so far as to appeal to the
governor to find some way that they
might fish during the spring of the
year. Not long ago there was hue
and cry because a law prevented the
shooting Of migrating game birds but
the statute had so many teeth in il
one hears little about it now. The
