Mr. Business Man—Look over your delivery equipment
and ask yourself if you'd be proud of your trucks if they
were parked in front of your home. If the least in doubt,
whether they create a favorable impression, drop in at the

Main Street, and look over the complete line of Chevrolet
Trucks and Commercial Cars—you'll find the type that
suits your business perfectly. You'll find, too, that Chev
rolet Trucks are as practical, inexpensive and economical, as
they are good looking.

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
Continued From Page Onp
is that there are interests which
welcome war because it fills their
pockets. The bill has a long way to
travel before it becomes positive
law, but if it reaches that status two
things will be accomplished. Private
profit in time of conflict will end,
and the men who have to do the
fighting at least can feel assured
that they are not serving as targets
for the purpose of stuffing the pocket
books of non-combatants behind roll
top desks at home.
Add to the profit-stripping feature
the fact that the House struck out
a provision for the conscription of
all men between the ages of 21 and
45, and it becomes evident that one
branch of congress thinks that the
person to be considered first is the
man behind the musket. The presi
dent’s signature to legilation provid
ing for a forty percent increase in
the standing army should set at rest
interference with private affairs in
the minds of those who feel that
season of war tends in the direction
of a defenceless nation.
According to the Declaration of
Independence, the King of England,
for several specified reasons, was de-'
nounced as a tyrant unfit to be the
ruler of a free people. One reason
assigned was that he had obstructed
the laws for the naturalization of
foreigners and had refused to pass
others to encourage migrations hith
er. In New York City, an official of
the port is under indictment for
being somewhat too liberal in slip
ping aliens into the land of the free
and the home of the brave. The poet
was right when he said that time
makes ancient good uncouth. No
body should feel embarrassed if,
with good cause, he has to go back
on what he said yesterday.
