SOMEWHERE perhaps in driving
home from the office perhaps on
a troublesome detour there's a par
ticularly bad stretch of road which you
encounter almost every day.
That' the place to test Buick's riding
comfort. Let us put a car at your dis
posal. Drive a Buick for 1928 over the
stretch of bad road you know best.
Notice how Buick's Cantilever Springs

THE GOVERNMENT USED
MILLIONS OF POUNDS J
RUBBER AND SUGAR
Some two years ago, official Wash
ington resounded with indignant
cries because the British Govern
ment had placed certain restrictions
on the marketing of rubber. Mr.
Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce,
was in high dudgeon. He denounced
the British for deliberately causing
American automobilists to be gypped.
Recently Cuba empowered her
President to limit the amount of su
gar shipped to this country. The
certain result of this will be to raise
the price in the American market
and gyp the American housewife.
But while the same administration
reigns in Washington that reigned
there two years age. the town does
not ring with cries of indignation.
And though Mr. Hoover is still Sec
retary ( f Commerce, lie shows no
signs of dudgeon and utters no de
nunciations. The Democrats are asking the ad
ministration to explain its incon
sistent conduct. They want the Re
publicans to tell the country why
it is wrong for the British rubber
interests to hold up the American
consumer but perfectly all right for
the Cuban sugar interest.- to do so.
We think the Democrats, in ask
ing this, are showing neither chiv
alry nor good taste. Chivalry would
lead the Democrats to respect the
terrible fix in which the Republicans
find th'msdves. Compared to it; the
fellow who was between the dpvil
ar.d the deep blue sea had a snap.
If they don't get the Cuban restrie
tiors removed, th electorate is sure
to howl over the price of sugar. If
they do get them removed, the price
of sugar will fa!! and American sugar
interests will howl. And a national
deft inn is coming, and the adminis
tration needs both the votes of the
electorate and the contributions of
are sugar interests. Aint it awful?

LISTEN TO TEE SILENCE!
"The Silent Drama." Ah! A won
derful institution! We enter the Sty
gian darkness, stuni'd" over count
less hoofs extended in all directions,
sit on some matronly lap and finally
drop exhausted into an empty seat
empty with the exception of a hat
a candy box, and a vanity case. The
appearance of the villian on the
screen diverts the embarrassing at
tention of our critical neighbors. A
subtitle, "That Night." flashes on
the silver sheet. Countless voices
take it up in all parts of theatre.
"What night ma?" exclaims a
squirming offspring. The inevitable
peanut fiend adds his humble con
tribution" to the general unrest. Ef
forts at community singing have fal
len flat in some theaters but com
munity oral title reading! Ah, that's
something else again! Appearance of
the hero is enough justification for
a rapid fire of admiring comment
from the ladies, mixed with an un
dercurrent of hoarse grunts of de
rision from male escorts. Raucous
voice in rear explaints quite audibly
the exact means of deception employ
ed in films where hero plays double
part. Closeup of American flag wav
ing dauntlessly brings great applause
from one hapless patriot. Finding
himself applauding in solo, he sub
sides with half-smothered comment
on lack of patriotism. At last the
clinch in the fadeout. The lights
come on and the spectators file out
solemnly amid .the first real silence
of the night, is indeed, a wonder
ful institution, the silent drama, but

A NOTABLE NAVY DAY ADDRESS ,
At the Navy day celebration in
San Francisco a notable address was
given by William Van Antwerp who
officated as state chairman. He is a
former graduate of the Annapolis
Naval academy but did not follow
that career and entered the business
world, achieving success and prom
inence in the world of finance, and
was a former member of the board
of governors of the New York stock
exchange. If the speaker did not fol
low up a naval career, at least he
has followed up this history of our
navy and is thoroughly conversant
with its condition and progress. He
is firmly convinced that the govern
ment is not alone responsible for our
present ineffieeney and lack of cruis
er strength, but that it has a part
ner in the indifference and neglect
of the American people themselves.
There is no room for doubting the
accuracy of this judgment.
There will be some interest in
reading what this civic observor has
to say upon this very important
theme, and this is reprinted from
the Chronicle of San Francisco of a
late date. This follows:
" 'Due to the indifference of the
American navy to fall so far behind
in modern light cruisers that it will
take us years to catch up to the two
leading naval powers, even if we
have the will to build up an efficient
cruiser force and round out our one
sided navy to an efficient and bal
anced whole,' said Van Antwerp.
" 'No unbalanced navy can be ef
ficient, any more than a baseball
team that lacked most of its fielders.
We are merely hoodwinking our
selves, wasting vast treasure and
sending the finest and most loyal
body of men under the flag to cer
tain and senseless death, if we are
unwilling to build a balanced navy.
" 'We are in third place because
we have not the will to be In any
other position. The United States
is like a wealthy man complaining
about the expense of fire insurance
premiums and risking millions of
doilars to save a few thousand on a
bad gamble, namely that there will
be no fire.
" 'An analysis of the three leading
naval powers shows our decidedly in
ferior position. The following figures
spiak for themselves:
" 'Great Britain Number of mod
ern cruisers less than 10 years old,
46; displacement, 2C6.000 tons;
broadside, 2S.900 pounds; speed, 29
knots and over.
" 'Japan Number of modern
cruisers, 25; displacement, 155.000
tons; broadside, 21,500 pounds;
speed. 33 knots and over.
" 'United States Number of mod
ern cruisers, 12; displacement, 95,
000 tons; broadside, 13,400 pounds;
speed, S3 knots and over.
" 'Our inferiority still is further
emphasized by the fact that both
Great Britain and Japan have bat
tle cruisers of from 27 to "1 knots
speed, mounting 14-inch guns and
larger, carrying fairly heavy armor
and displacing from 26.000 to 42,
000 tons each. The United States
has none cf this type of cruiser.' "
:o:
THE GREAT CRDIE
At a time when the country is lay
ing itself out to punish bribery in
high places and nobody has yet gone
to jail for this crime, it may be in
teresting to learn from the National
Conference for the Reduction of
Crime, recently in session at Wash
ington, what the country really takes
seriously in the category of evil do
ing. It seems that what has most arous
ed us as a people, if we may judge
by the new laws devised to stop it, is
not bribery in either high places or
low, but chicken stealing. There is
something that is something, a crime
of such diabolical premeditation, and
of such unquestioned injury to so
ciety, that it enjoys the righteous
detestation of everybody. In Idaho,
for instance, there is a new law pro
hibiting the purchase of poultry be
tween sunset and sunrise without
notifying the Sheriff. Seven states
in all have within the last year in
creased the penalty for chicken steal
ing. After all, the people who corrupt
ed the Government have not stolen
any chickens. We defy to say that
the country is lost.

IF WINTER COMES "
Bleak days are ahead, with winter
closing down across the land, but
there are visions, too, and these help
make life worth living. The other
day a flower catalogue came in the
mail, and brought with it a breath
of spring right into the shadowy old
office.
The hounds of winter are fairly up
on us, but a cracked bowl or a color
ful garden always are a visision of
something better, something more
beautiful, something finer than this
wintry day. '
Fog, clouds, and darkness, but
there a flower! There a rife in the
clouds, with the sun peeking through,
bringing a glint of f-unshine and a
promise.
Robin redbreast, barefoot boys in
a daisy field and violets in the for

can behold flowers these days and
understand. All the beauties of
spring are coming back to us.
