Mr. Bailey told a meeting of the Hons ciub. "i may be a littie cynical, but I wouldn't trust a. poMMcian, to. count my votes. We have got to pleach the gospel of manhood in politics.

New features and mechanical re-! finementa.adding stiH further to eaaet j of operation and driving comfort, and striking new Duco coiara characterizes the "Smoothest Chevrolet" just an ) nounced. t A motor even more remarkaMe for} ' smoothness of operation and new ' colors that reflect the iatest and moat (harmonious biending of smart linea i and artistic hues are revealed in this ! car. The new features are announced ! in the middle of the greatest sales i ! year in Chevrolet history. Among the more important new features included are the following: A new cross member, strengthening the motor support at the transmit, siou housing, thus still further re ducing vibration and at the same time adding greater ruggedness to frame i and chassis; a re-designed cam shaft} with cams .scientifically rounded to) eliminate noise; gas and spark con-j trols mounted with horn button on; top of the steering column, affording! not only easier control in driving but! also giving a more artistic appearance; an .improved universal joint with; trunnions operating in separate bush-i ings to give longer wear and to af-j ford easier access; a new battery and battery support, and a more sturdy; tie-rod between the front fenders which permits a more rigid support ! of the head-lights and their better focusing. A notable feature is the ingenious stop-light switch which has no wire attached to the brake pedal and no pull-back spring on the switeh, there by eliminating a frequent source of annoyance ef failure to function prop erly. The new switch is of non-arcing, lever type and is operated by the brake rod. The new battery is equipped with a solid rubber case and has the handles tuitt in as part of the case, thus eliminating metal handles which are subject to corrosion. The new type carrier holds the battery in such a way as to eliminate any strains on the battery case and the consequent lia bility of breakage. New, brilliant and striking combin ations cf colors in Duco appear on all the models. The sedan is finished in Algerian blue; the coach in The bes gray; the landau in Alpine green; the coupe in Dundee gray; while all open models are finished irr Biscay green. AH models have a rear view mirror and there is a handy pocket in right front door of closed cars as standard equipment. The landau, sedan and coupe are equipped with d^pc wheels. Balloon tirU$ sue standard equipment on all cios^T Models. The wood wheels on the coa$h, fquring and roadster} are now finished in Duco. Kentuck's Chivalry Vindicated. Three long !oad cheers for Governor i WiHiam J. Fields of Kentucky! Andj three more, ionger and louder, with i tigers, for Martha Bates of the same^ state. It seems that, not long ago, while j Martha, good giri that she is, was attending church in the village of Millstone, the preacher, one Arlie. Brown, of the Baptist persuasion, was moved in the course of his ser mon, to make the large statement: that no virtuous woman would bob her hair. As it happened, Martha's hair is bobbed. She waited a moment after the Rev. Mr. Brown had pro nounced his judgment on such as she; and, finding that nobody else had the courage or decency to do anything about it, she rose from her seat, walk ed quietly up the aisle and slapped the parson's face. Naturally, there was excitement then in the little church, and it ended! in Martha's arrest—for just what is! not stated in the dispatches, but pre-: sumably for disturbing a religious I service, though it may have been for; assault and battery. However that' may have heen, Martha was put on trial in a district court, convicted for whatever she was charged with, andj sentenced to 10 days in jail. And the! girl actually was locked up! By the time she had served 17 days,! Governor Fields heard of the affair,] ordered an investigation and, after ! hearing a report from his pardon com-; missioner—also, by the way, a woman: with bobbed hair—he not only issued; a pardon for Martha but took pains to make some emphatic remarks about "pulpit cowardice?' as among the gravest and meanest of sins, and to, say that he highly approved of what] Martha did. Perhaps Governor Fields went a bit; too far in commending Martha Bates for slapping the parson's face; but how easy it is to forgive him! On gen.; era! principles, of course, her action was technically indefensible. Just the same, probably nothing would have been done to the Rev. Arlie Brown if; she had not done what she did: and it was well that he and others like him should learn that there are limits to their right or privilege to make their; private opinions and tastes the stand-! ards of righteousness. His words tended highly to provoke breaches of the peace, if his hearers chanced to include anybody of prompt reaction to insult and slander. He is under no obligation to like the bob bing of women's hair, and he is not alone in disliking it. There would have been no objection to his dislike; but when he proceeded to condemn the morals of all the women who choose to exercise an indubitable and inalien able right to wear their hair as they t Our buyers are ready to buy best grades of .* ^ tobaccos.

The chief offender, if there were two,; and the oniy offender, if there was but one, was the Rev. Mr. Brown, and Governor Fields should be ingen-j ious enough as a lawyer to find a.j taw under which the real misdemean ant can be punished at least as sev erely as Martha was.—New York Times.
