The Best
Oar idea is service first, and the best service at that Onr
garage was established in 1916, and since then, we have main
tained service the best during the years, day in and day out,
whether a week day, holiday or Sunday. But one half day
did we close our place of business and have ever been ready
for extending service to the public. We are continuing our
service. There are instances where it may not bring in the
dollar, but the customer must be satisfied, with work, material
and courteous treatment.
We will always have the very best workmen and most
courteous attendants at your service.

An American president for the
first time stepped on Canadian soil
and spoke to a Canadian audience.

enthusiasm.

were continuous, beginning this
morning when the naval transport
Henderson, bearing the president
and his party home from- Alaska,
steamed into Burrard inlet and re
ceived from the British light cruiser
Curlew a salute of twenty-one guns,
and continuing sptil 9:30 tonight,
when, after attending a state dinner
given by the governments of the do
minion and of the province of British
Columbia, Mr. Harding returned to
the Henderson ofr the overnight voy
age to Seattle.
Through it all ran the spirit of
neigh borliness, and it was this feel
ing that the president stressed in
the two addresses he made during
the day, one at Stanley park to a
gathering estimated by Vancouver
newspapers to number 40,000 and to
the five or six hundred persons who
attended a luncheon given in his
honor by the city of 'Vancouver. ' "

WILSON POINTS
THE ROAD AWAY
: FROMREVOLUTION
Former President Sounds Warning
-Civilization Can't Survive TJn
- less Eedeemed Spiritually
Boston, July 26. Former Presi
dent Wilson, writing under the cap
tion "The Road Away From Revolu
tion" for the August number of the
Altantic Monthly, sounds a note of
warning that our civilization cannot
survive materially unless it be re
deemed spiritually.
This is the first time since his
illness that Mr. ' Wilson has made
public his views on present day prob- i
lems in the United States tnd thru-'
out the world. They will be preserv- ;
ed in permanent form between cov- j
ers. j
"In these dreadful and anxious
days, when all the world is at un
rest and, look which way you will ;
the road ahead seems darkened by ;
shadows which portend dangers of ,
many kinds, it is." says the one who
commanded the ship of state during ,
the world war, "only common pru- j
dence that we should looke about us
and attempt to assess the causes of
distress and the most likely means of
removing them."
Avoids Partisan Talk
Ten, avoiding the partisan as he
analyzes the existing state of Ameri
can civilization, 'the writer goes
briefly to the root of the matter by
making essentially what is a relig
ious appeal for a better understand
ing between the "haves" and the
"have nots."
"Real ground for the universal un
rest," he asserts, "lies deep at the
osurces of the spiritual life of our
time, and leads to revolution."
The cause of tbe Russian revolu
tion, which he calls the outstanding :
event of its kind in our age, was, in
his view, a "systematic denial to the
great body of Russians of the rights
and privileges which all normal men
desire and must have if they are to
be contented and within reach-of
happiness."
"What has this to do with Amer
ica? It was against capitalism," he
declares, "that the Russian leaders
directed their attack, and it is
against capitalism under obeame
or another that the discontented
classes everywhere draw their indict
ment." Everywhere, he says, there are
thoughtful men who believe that
capitalism is indispensable to civil
ization, but he goes on to ask: "Is
the capitalistic system unimpeach
able?" "Is it not true." the inquiry con
tinues, "that capitalists have often
seemed to regard the men whom
they used as mere instruments of,
profit, 'whose physical and mental j
powers it was legitimate to exploit? j
Ought we not to seek a way ot re- i
move such offenses and make life'
itself clean for those who will share
honorably and cleanly in it?
America Must Lead
"The world has been made safe
for democracy. There need now be
no fear that any such mad design
e.3 that entertained by the insolent
and ignorant Hohenzollerns and
their counselors may prevail against
it. But democracy has not yet made
the world safe against irrational rev
olution. That supreme task, which
is nothing les3 than the salvation of
civilization, now faces democracy,
insistent, imperative. There is no
escaping it, unless everything we
have built up is presently to fall in
ruins about us; and the United
States, the the-greatest of democra
cies, must undertake it.
"The road that leads away from
revolution is clearly marked, for it
is defined by the nature of men and
of organized society. It therefore
behooves us to study very carefully
and very candidly the exact nature
of the task and the means of its ac
complishment. The sum of the mat
ter is this: that our civilization can
not survive materially unless it be
redeemed spiritually. Here is the
final challenge to our churches, to
our capitalists to every one who
fears God or loves his country."
