Wallace Bassford Laments
Vulgar Display In Lincoln's
Birthday Anniversary

Wallace Bassford very graphically
and forcibly compares the simplicity
Of Lincoln's life and Presidential ca
reer, with that Of what he is pleased
insinuate was a rather vulgar exhibit
ton Of wealth and opulence, at an an
Tersary celebration of Lincoln's
birthday held at the Waldorf Astoria:
"There was a notable gathering in
the great banquet hall of the Wal
dorf-Astoria the other night in New
York. In the great modern Babylon,
the vast and wealthy metropolis of a
fertile land, hundreds gathered who
represented every form Of wealth
and opulence ever envisiond in the
widest dreams of a Croesus or a
Midas. There were gathered the
members and connections of the hous-
es of Belmont, Mellon, Morgan,
Rockefeller, Whitney, Vanderbilt, As
tor, and so on down the LIST. "A thou
sand bright lamps shone DER that
high festival They were gathered
ostensibly for the purpose of honoring
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the
rail splitter! In very fact, they were
there for the purpose of drawing over
and around their myriad diamonds
and their coarse wealth the worn
homespun mantle of a man of the
plain people, a backwoodsman a pa
triot, man who had known what it
was to hunger and to suffer, man
who had no sympathy with them or
their kind while he lived, and who
would doubtless turn over in his grave
if he could know that his name and
his faith were being used to bolster
up for awhile the sinking fortunes of
the party of privilege Of graft, of tax
immunity, of special legislative fav-
ors; the party led and managed by a
new aristocracy based neither upon
blood nor merit, but upon the sordid
creed of Big Money.
There was feasting and speechmak-
ing, and myriad of flunkeys waited
on fat men in full dress and highly
decorated women covered with dia-
monds, and Senator Wadsworth, e.
lected to his job because he belonged
to the moneyed aristocraiy of the
state, called up the shade of Lincoln
to witness the purity of the party
which elected him to the White House
many years ago. There is a story in
the Bible of how Saul called up the
spirit of his departed friend Samuel
with sad results, for when the spirit
of Samuel arose he told his frfient
some very unpleasant things. Coule
the great commoner, Lincoln, have
stalked into the assemblage at tn,

some caustic comments to make

party? Could he have endorsed any

and construction.
Some select and test steel, iron,
brass wood, leather, glass and other
raw materials and special equipment
picked at random from the stream
that flows necessarily into the vari-
GUS mammoth departments. Still 9TH
ers Of these one hundred and twenty
five men work out the correct design
and check the finished prouct for sat-
isfactory performance.
Each year more than 100000 such
tests are made in Studebaker labora-
tories. Guesswork in materials, meth
DDS, construction, operation, and per-
Torrance are thus eliminated.
In the manufacture of the three
six cylinder StudebaKer models, 1920
mechanical operations are accurate to
one-thousandth of an inch, $50 to one
half thousandth of an inch and many
others to one-tenth-t housandth of an
inch, or ten times thinner than a Gig
arctic paper. Such accuracy, while
costly, makes possible the construc-
ton of motor cars that give enduring,
economical and dependable service.
But Studebaker goes far beyond
the unusual work of it's testing labor
atories to safeguard the interests of
Studebaker car owners. One thousand
skilled inspectors guard against i'm
perfection in manufacture and assem-
bly,. These men make 10000 inspec-
tions during manufacture before the
care are passed through for final de-
livery.

Don't Buy a Fine Car
until YOU see the leaders

Studebakers hold the top place in the
fne-car field today.
Last year, 145,OoO people chose them
against all rivals. They paid 100000
for them.
For II years the Studebaker name has
stood for the utmost in quality. It will
never stand for less.
Today there are assets of $90,000,OOO
staked on the Studebaker cars.
Don't pay ST. 900 or more for Car with
out knowing what Studebaker offers. You
will find here some scores of advantages.
Learn what they mean to you.

Other costly extras

Our bodies are finished with 10
operations, including IS coats of
paint and varnish.
We use real leather upholstery.
The cost is about SIS per Car over
imitation leather.
That Chase Mohair upholstery in
closed cars is made from the soft
fleece of Angora goats. A velour or
worsted upholstery would save us up
to 500 per Car.
The many extras on our large
closed cars would cost much if you

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
CHOOSE COMMITTEEMAN
Mrs. Jesse w. Nicholson Most Prom.
inently Mentioned As Delegate
To National Convention

the State OF Maryland gathered in
Annapolis Nd, several days ago and
formed temporary United Fedora
ton OF Democratic Womens' Clubs,
and at that meeting decided to call
together democratic women from all
over the State at convention to be
held at Baltimore, Md, at the Bel
vedere hotel, on March 81, when a
committeewoman, vice-chairman, and
four delegates to the Democratic
National Convention in New York
City will be named. They will also
elect permanent officers for the
United Federation at this convention.
The temporary officers elected the
other day at Annapolis, were Mrs.
Jesse w. Nicholson. chairman; Miss
Laura Gilland, secretary; Mrs. j. E.
Ray, treasurer; Mrs. G. M. Gather,
chairman of organization; Mrs. Arm
strong Kirby an Mrs. Andrew Annon'
co-chairman of membership; Mrs. V.
Dulac, chairman of constitution, and
Mrs. R. F. Irwin, chairman of nomina-
tion.
At this meeting the woman most
prominently mentioned for commit
teewoman was Mrs. Jesse w. Nichol-
son, of Chevy Chase, the temporary
chairman. She has organized and is
president of the Woman's Democratic
Club of Montgomery county, having
a membership of over 1000 members,
and her club is regarded at National
Democratic Headquarters at Wash
ington as the banner club of the coun-
try for harmony, teamwork, and ac-
complishments. They have been or
ganized for three years, have no fac
tons, and are regarded as the best
organized club in the State. They
have raised over $4,000 since their or
ganization by their own efforts, and
are now publishing paper called the
"Woman Democrat" Mrs. Nicholson
being it's efficient editor.
Mrs. Nicholson is the mother OF
three children, is a member of the
National Democratic Club, a member
Of the League of American Pen Wom-
en-, and has been in newspaper work
for nearly 20 years. She was CORES
pondent for the Washington Star for
Is years, and is at present CORES
pondent for the Washington Post.
During the World War, she organized
and became the first president of the
Chevy Chase branch of the Montgom-
cry County Chapter of the American
Red Cross, and raised more money
for Red Cross work than any branch
in the State. She was presented with
a service medal for work she hs rem
dered during the war by Z Ameri-
can Red Cross,
Mrs, Nicholson is one Of few wom-
en- orators in the State. She made a
stirring address last Saturday even
ing at large Democratic meeting in
Rockville when Senator Pat. Harrison
was the other speaker on that occa-
sion.
The Woman's Democratic Club of
Montgomery County have unanimous
ly endorsed their president, Mrs.
Nicholson for committeewoman for
The State.
Each county will be allowed to send
four voting delegates, and four alter
mates to the convention in Baltimore
which IS to be held on March Fl.
Any democratic woman desiring in
formation about the convention should
communicate with the secretary, Miss
Laura Gilliland, Chevy Chase, Md.

which it excels any rival car.
That is why, in the fne-car field,
the Studebaker leads. The demand
has almost trebled in the past three
years. These cars have become the
sensation of Motordom. On some
of these models we have never yet
been able to meet the demand.
We spend money lavishly. We
build without regard to cost. But,
in our quantity production, we still
bring costs to bottom.
You should learn what these things
mean to you before you buy Car.

bought them. The nicke1-plated
bumpers, the extra disc wheels and
cord tires, the steel trunk, the cour-
tesy light, etc.
Extras to oar men
We pay the highest labor scale.
Then we add extras to it.
Men who are with us five years or
over get 1920 of their years wages
in an anniversary check. Those an
niversary checks last year cost ,.s
$1,300,000.
After two years all employees get a
week of vacation with pay. That
cost us last year $225,OOO.

M cars. For some features
Wv we pay three and four
times what they need cost.
Here are some of those costs which
affect you. Tell us-would you want
any one reduced?
Our prices on high-grade Skies
run from 1915 to $2685. They stand at
bottom in the fne-car field, despite
these extra costs. All because the de-
nand requires 100000 cars per year.
But they could be lower if we cut
these costs. Would you have us do it?
Engineering-$5OO,O
Our engineering departments cost
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-02-23

Old employees who re-
tire get pensions. Our
cooperative department
costs us 100000 per
year.
All this to keep men
with us while they grow
more and more efficient.
To make them happy, so
they do their best.
This is all paid by peo-
pie who buy Studebaker
cars. But we figure that
each such dollar saves us
five dollars. Don't you
agree with us?
