Our Great Three-Ring Circus
it is an interesting thing to watch a political ring
when all the animals are performing. The indications
now point to a great show all through this year, at
least a three-ring affair. The menagerie will contain
animals from the east, the west, the north, and the
south. '' l 1
It is already quite noticeable how gentle most of
the animals are growing. The lions and the leopards,
the tigers and the bears, are all licking the hands of
the . voters. The elephant is on a barrel bowing to
the ladies, and the mule is |>awing to the farmers. The
monkey climbs down the- tent pole and claims kin
with all nations, kindreds, and tongues.
There is not a single unfriendly unimal in the whole
show, but there is much jealousy arising; and that
kind of jealousy never dies but multiplies, and unless
some of these animals are well caged trouble of a
violent nature may be looked for.
In this circus there seems to be but two ringmasters,
money and liquor, and how they do make the ani
mals jump The office seekers are the scene shifters
and roustabouts, while the American people are sit
ting, gazing at the |terformance, (Mtying for the whole
show and wondering how it is done.

The Klan Is Doomed
The Klux Klan is doomed to failure. It has
not enough love in its constitution. The members
seenv to hate each ether worse than they do foreign
ers. or negroes, or any other people. The real truth
is that they have soihe fine ideals, but they are al
together impractical.
The leaders are now in arms against each other,
making all manner of charges of gross misconduct.
It is quite possible that jealousy is at the root of the
trouble.
They are alleging serious crimes against each other

y At Last, the Silver Lining *
Illinois scalawags and hoodlums were put down in
Tuesday's primary'. Governor Lea Snail; Col. Frank
L. Smith, his power-company-elected, Senate
ed, self-appointed United States Senator; Big Bill
Thompson: and the Chicago gangsten' friend, At
torney Crowe, all went down in defeat. Thie means
more honesty and more safety for the people of that
State.
It now seems the corrupt combination of the money
power, the Chicago bawdies, the liquor gang, and the
gambling house# have been arrested for a while at
leaat. '
Nothing so cheers people as the appearance of the '
silver lining after the dark cloud.
Dodging the Farmer
It would be funny, if it was not to sad, to see the
politicians dodge the farmers with the farm relief bill.
Nobody expected to see its advocates retort to theft,
as now seems true, with Vice trying
to corner the honor, apparently to weaken his oppon
ent, Governor Lowden, who has all the time been a
strong advocate of the measure,
But why should there be any rivalry about this
little matter? The farmers have "done and learned"
that they ate not going to get anything, anyway, and
that all this talk is bunk. They are only attempting
to stuff the farmer with political gas one more time.
They know that that is all they have ever had and
doubtless expect it to satisfy them again.
The Republican Convention
The Republican State convention held in Raleigh
Wednesday was distinguished from mutt of their pre
vious conventions by the fact that more peace and
quiet prevailed.
About the only tough stuff was Clarence Pugh's
charge against Revenue Commission David H. Blair,
alleging that Blair, when a member of the credentials
committee at the Chicago convention, voted to seat a
negro over a woman delegate from Tennetsee. The
convention took very little notice of Pugh's charge.
The office holding half of the convention evidently
felt a bit shaky since they held themselves somewhat
in the background. k .
Congressman Burton, the keynoter, held the paci
fier to the lips of the crowd by telling them that if
the Republicans win again there will be two jobs for
every man, and then he gravely warned them that if
the Democrats win there will be two men for every
job. It is doubtful if the Congressman could have
played better politics, for if there it anything that a
Republican will work for, it is a job. The promise
from so distinguished a leader as Congressman Bur
ton that they are each to get two jobs shot them
half way to glory. The biggest trouble with the
promise is that it U false. He forgot tell them
that there are now more than three million Ameri
cans without jobs, and that the Republican party is
fostering the system that has put them out and will
very soon put many more out.

The Doubting Thomas
Than arc few, very few, who really
doubt that Jesus is the Son of God.
Theme are those who may tell you
otherwise. They may say that He
was a good man, like Paul, but with
no mare power than any ether good
man. But they do not mean this. 1 If
the President of this country, or any
other country, should attend services
at your church you, and all others
present, would probably stand as he
entered the church to do him honor.
But somehow I have a feeling that if
Jesus should attend, visibly, every
body present would kneel. Yes;
there is a difference. We all know
this, I believe, whether we admit it
or not. j
Sometimes I wonder how much we
owe to the first doubting Thomas.
He was a good man. Thomas wanted
to do the right thing. He really
wanted to believe is Jesus. But he
wanted abb to be very sure of his
ground. Thomas said to Come of
Christ's followers, "Fellows, I would
like to go all the way, but 1 am not
sure." He doubted and wanted
proof. "If only 1 could feel the scars
aad see the prints of the nails in
His hands, I would believe," said this
doubting Thomas. He was given
this opportunity.
I am glad that Thomas ashed for
proof. When he saw the prints
nails in the Master's hands, he said,
"My Lord and my God." This was
enough to prove to Thomas that Je
sus was all He claimed to be and
then be was willing and anxious to
follow his Lord and his God. Prob
ably there are those who have greater
faith because of Thomas' effort to
secure first-hand information about
I Jesus, who was, is, and will be our
Lord and our God.

Millions of
Model T Fords
are still in
active service
FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor
industry and k still is used by more people than any idw
automobile. More than eight million Model T Ford* are in
active service today—an indication of their sturdy worth, * -
reliability and economy.
Becauae of the tremendous investment which piopla v
have in these cars and because so many of them will be
driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford
Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts
until, as Henry Ford himself says, "the last Modsl T it
off the road."
For the Ford Motor Company has always believed Ant
its full duty consists not only in making a good aiimmnhit v
at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for
you ss long ss possible at a minimum of erpmae
No matter where you live, therefore, you can still inf
Modal T Ford parts with the same assurance as formsriy,
knowing that they will give yon the land of service you
have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the
money you have invested in yaur cat.
All Ford replacement parti, as you may know, am made
of the rtinr materials —*A in the M "t way as those *nrm
which your car was originally assembled, and are low in
price because of the established Fafd policy.
So that you amy get the greaiMf use from your Model T
Ford over the longest period of time, we sugpet that fan
take the car ta the nearest Ford dealer and have him eld*
Mis on the doat of sny replacement parts which asay be
nacesaary. Yen may SmA that a vary email aspeadkora
will maintain the value of yoor car and wil be the maaaa
of giving yoy thousaadi of miles of aUUoad eecvice.
