DUPLEX-a a new name
for a new type car you haue neper seen before!
A closed and open car combined the
advantages Of both at an open car price!

NNE minute the DUPLEX is comfort
~ able, weather-tight closed car deeply
cushioned and richly appointed. In less than
thirty seconds it becomes a delightful open
car, with all the unhindered freedom every
motorist likes and enjoys. Its double utility
satisfied most urgent need-it is as revolu-
tionary as the self-starter and electric lights
And the price is the same as that of the
open car with advantages in finish, fit
tings, room and comfort no open car could
ever give!
Framed and shaped in steel, the upper part
of the Duplex Body is built integrally with
the lower part-it functions perfectly with
the lower part-it is permanently beautiful
But even without the "double-value" of
the Duplex Body the new Standard Six
would still be the same great Studebaker
success. For its introduction marks the
beginning of an era in the automobile in
dustry when fine cars ofreaI quality, plenty
of room and comfort, impressive appear
ance, splendid power and performance may
be had at price the average buyer can
afford to pay.

WHAT THE GOVERNOR OF
MISSOURI THINKS ABOUT 1T

While Arthur NJ. Hyde of Missouri
was running for Governor of that
state he said Il am going to take
great measures toward the education
OF country boys and girls" After Mr..
Hyde was elected Governor. he ye-
celved letter from a farmer, who
owned more than 600 acres of land
| saying" There is lots of time and
| money spent for higher education for
boys and girls of the farms. Let me
ASK When you get all of the BOYS
that education. who will grow the
corn, wheat and live stock to feed
the people? Give the boy a college
education and he leaves the farm to
seek easier employment. The one
room district schools are the places |
where you find the most moral, heal
thy and perfect specimens Of man
hood and most people think the one
room country school will answer all
educational purposes for farmers"
The Governor in reply wrote to
this farmer as follows:
You believe that if farm bows and +
girls are better educated, they will
not stay on the farm and therefore
ought to be kept in comparative ig-
nOrance so they will remain on the
farm and grow corn and other pro- t
duce to feed their mora fortunate
fellowmen who live in the towns and {
cities. I refuse to believe that educa- I
ion is bad thing for boys and girls q
II the farms. | do believe that every
10Y and girl in the state is entitled t
o the best education that can possi- p
'ly be given to them. | believe that if
is good for the boys and F
iris of the cities and towns, it is .
ust as good for those of the farms,
nd that one is entitled to it lust as el
luch as the other. A
Il have no fears that educated men D
nd women will refuse to grow corn j
nd produce. On the contrary, have W
bserved that the most successful NJ
lrmers everywhere are those who al

and openly declared in his innocence
what all these enthusiastic Amster-
dam heroes thought to themselves
and what they will do when the event
occurs. This English trade union lead
er, Ben Tillet by name, said: 1--WE
must fight more energetically than hi
therto against war. Till now the Com
munists were the only energetic op-
ponents Of war; we must not leave
them this monopolist position. We
must take timely preventive measures
against war, for "If a war breaks out
everyone Of US stands by his own
country"
Here lies the crux of the question
Ben Tillet also received great ap-
plause for his declaration. And who
would not prefer this Ben Tii1et, in
spite of his nationalist point of view
hundred times to Jouhaux and Co.,
who are not bit less nationalist than
he. He is less dangerous than they,
because they consciously use the
phrase Of a general strike in order to
lull the proletariat and to persuade it
that it is a real fight till it awakens
in shower of grenades and finds it.
self powerless in the face of a new inn
perialistic peoples slaughter
We stand by our country This was
the cry of the reformists Of all coun-
tries in 1914; by this means they have
driven millions of proletarians against
each other and to death. And there
is not the least doubt that they will
do precisely the same in the future
war. The Amsterdamers know per-
fectly well that these countries" are
the imperialistic states of blood-thirsty
capital, but in order that the masses
do not notice this fact too soon, they
talk all around about the progress of
democracy, and for this reason the
ruling classes permit their states to
be administered by labor govern
ments." AS Macdonald is showing in
England, as Noske, T1omas and the
many others have shown before him,
they provide the necessary war arm
aments and carry out the bloody
VI uoAl4lG VI lLC WI hCA . do WOAA do any
capitalist government defined as such.
Not word was uttered at the vi
ennese Congress as to how the i'm
perialistic war can really and solely
be met, /. e., by immediate and ruth
less fight against capital, against the
Embellishments system. The
Amsterdamers do not want to hear of
such things, for it would mean a revo-
lutionary fight. They do not wish revo-
luton, they want to have peace"
with capital; they are apostles of
peaceful" democratic development
and therefore stand by their coun-
try"
Thus the declaration of Ben Tillet
in Vienna has shown like a lightning
flash to the whole international work
ing class that imperialism and war
have no better allies than the Am
sterdam Trade Union Federation. And
it is high time that the workers of
