WARE AND SMITH WILL
NOT BE SEATED

There appears no chance whatever
that Ware or Frank Smith of Illinois
personal selection of Sam insult,
power magnate-will be seated. Re-
publicans in the Senate, including
Floor Leader Curtis who is a serious
presidential aspirant, will not sacri-
flee themselves to create another Lor-
inner or Newberry record. Hence Pin
chot is not endangering his Republi-
can standing when he warns Butler:
'If Ware is seated the American peo-
pie will adjudge the Republican par
ty guilty of conniving at the purchase
and theft of an election and of doing
so for its own political benefit"
Even President Coolidge knows that
there is no advantage in seating Ware
and Smith, when the machines in
Pennsylvania and Illinois stand ready
to send other men of the same type
to sit in the Senate in their stead, to
vote as they would vote in defense of
the power combine, the railroads, the
Wall Street banks, the steel and coal
kings, and in generol for the upbuild-
ing of the structure of industrial
feudalism. When the Senate rejected
Charles Beecher Warren of the sugar
trust as attorney general, Coolidge
named Sargent, railroad lawyer, anc
Sargent proceeded to do just what
Warren would have done.
Thus the American people are
about to achieve a great victory IL
the Var eand Smith cases. COrrup
tiOn will be dealt smashing blow
and the interests that did the corrupt
ing will be truly protected

THE CODY ENTERPRISE

new needs are found for them and the population grows.
From an article in a current magazine are taken a few
quotations on the subject of the automobile:
"The automobile stands unique as the most extravagant
piece of machinery every devised for the pleasure of man."
"The people are becoming car-poor as their ancestors be-
came land-poor"
I'm this craze for automobile ownership the joy of security
in the future is sacrificed for the pleasure of the moment.
"The whole scheme of domestic life centers in the motor
car"
"Once the man who borrowed in order to buy a car was
looked upon as dangerous"
With some of these statements some will agree, but it is
invariably the carless who predict disaster and chaos because
so many of their neighbors are on wheels and exchange old
cars for new ones every year.
1t is manifest from the popularity of the auto, from the
universally of its use and from the jealous tenacity all car
owners cling to their cars, whether palaces on wheels or deciepit
dereicts, that there are satisfactions derived from the automo.
bile which the critics of the automobile-age have not discerned
