When the pump quits, ordinary oil quits, leaving the motor's parts high and dry. You touch the starter. The motor roars. The pump strains at the sluggish oil. It is only a few minutes till circulation is completed. But, in the meantime, working surfaces only partly lubricated are in contact, while the motor makes three to five thousand revo lutions. This causes 50 7 of all motor wear. CONOCO TRAVEL BUREAU, DENVER . . .

Choose not merely a quick oil, but an oil that never leaves. Choose the oil with the hidden quart that penetrates and combines with die metal surfaces of the motor itself. In the emer gency of an empty crankcase, users have driven many miles, without damage, on this hidden quart alone. This proves that your motor need never suffer while waiting upon the pump. Don't remain in doubt. Drain and refill with the hidden quart oil today. MR. RATNEY IS DEAD RIGHT "I personally believe we can bal ance the budget without resorting to taxation," says the democratic floor leader of the house of repre sentatives at Washington. To that end he opposes the demands of 14 governors for another $100,000,000 to help the states build more roads. And he says further: "The people will not stand for more taxes, except as a last resort." Clarifying the reports as to in come tax increases agreed upon at the conference with Mr. Roosevelt, he declares that "all the partici pants in the conference viewed the income tax proposal only as one to be adopted as a last resort." The leader thus quoted is Mr. Rainey of Illinois, an old-time pro gressive democrat who was for many years an ardent supporter and trust ed lieutenant of William J. Bryan. And he speaks still as a progressive. The truest progressivism of today is to spare an overburdened people ad ditional taxes. It is to balance bud gets, at Washington and everywhere, rot by increasing taxes, but by re ducing expenditures. The people are paying now for the support of government far more than they can afford. Their own incomes have been cut by a third, a half, or wiped out altogether. Yet they are compelled to pay for government as much as in the heydey of a fictitious prosperity when money was supposed to grow on trees. Government has not reduced its establishment, its standard of living, as the taxpayers have had to reduce theirs. It should. -nd failure to do it will be visited with swift and certain condemna tion. World-Kcrald. -:o:- There are 10.000 books on the life of Napoleon that are worthy of in clusion in a fairly complete Na poleonic library. This means that good books about him have been pub lished on an average of one every nir.ety-eight hours since his death 112 years ago. :o: It is proposed that penal condi tions in Georgia be federally inves tigated. On condition, of course, that Georgia "welcome investiga tion." Whoever heard of anything being investigated in this country without an official welcome? :o: It must be maddening to a wet to start a conversation with a state ment about beer and have him glance off into an unimportant discussion about economic troubles. Perfect Days Ahead THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION One of the most interesting de velopments of the year just ended is the increase in the attendance on church services, and in church mem bership. The Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America points to this as evidence or a revival of the spirit of religion. We have been told, that in the Catholic church there has been a great growth in at tendance. This seems to be a very hopeful sign of the times. We went through a period, after the war, when it look ed as if religion had lost its hold upon the people of America. From the beginnings of our nation, we have always been a profoundly re ligious people. Religion was the basis of our earliest colonial settle ments. Our greatest leaders in the earlv davs did not hesitate to pro- ! claim publicity and to practice their belief in the guiding power of a Di vine Providence. The picture of Washington on his knees at Valley Forge, when the cause of the Revo lutionists seemed hopeless, has al ways been one of the most inspiring incidents in American history. Tenets of every religion make it a consolation in time of suffering and need. There should be no feel ing of shame on the part of the man or woman who, having neglected his religion and its call to duty when material things were going well with him, now feels the urge to come back and join again the ranks of the believers, seeking spiritual consola tion for a bruised soul. That is w hat religion is for. That is where its greatest service to mankind is render ed. We have heard men say that they were afraid of being sneered at if they turned back to the church now, after staying away from it through the fat years. We do not believe that anyone who has felt the spirit ual Illumination that comes from mere contact with the inspiring source of faith and hope that is in the Church can ever feel other than kindly toward ethers who, like him self, have felt the need to refresh their spirits and renew their faith. "Here bring your wounded hearts; here tell your anguish. Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot heal." We believe, as firmly as we be lieve anything, that the regeneration of our national moral, impaired by the disappointments and disillusions of these late hard years, will come about the more surely and the more swiftly if, as we are told, our people are really turning back to the re ligion of their fathers for strength and help. :o: ROOSEVELT, THE LEADER The governorship behind him, he is again a private citizen de jure. Mr. Roosevelt of Kyde Park, N. Y., but defacto he is distinctly some thing else, with leaders of congress making a beaten path to his door. A conference called for Thursday with a group of democratic senators and representatives reveals the president-elect exercising party leader ship. His method now looks like what President Wilson used to de scribe as "an accommodation of: minds," although there was never much doubt as to who was the more accommodating Mr. Wilson or the gentleman on the other side of the table. One fact seems to be emerging with clearness. The "Boy Scout" jibe at the president-elect. implying the lack of seasoned fiber in public life and the softness of political imma turity, has become out of date. In the presidential campaign three was happily no extravagant posturing of Mr. Roosevejt before the public as a great man, or even as a remark able man, born through a special providence for a grave national crisis. The candidate in this respect was not "oversold." He was elected with few people expecting him to perform miracles. If his real abilities have been, in fact, underestimated, so much the better for him. That he has been underestimated thus far will probably be proved ere long. Whatever may be thought of Mr. Roosevelt's case in his exchange of views with President Hoover over the war debts situation, it is certain that President Hoover encountered no weak or compliant Boy Scout when he surprised the president-elect by his first public telegram from the train at Yuma, Ariz. Mr. Roosevelt could not be bombed into a sudden decision gravely affecting his admin istration long before it could be or ganized. He would "co-operate" but on his own conditions. This public bombing is technical ly an art in which Mr. Roosevelt seems to be able to qualify as an ex pert himself at least on the defense. Speaker Garner and his lieutenants in the house last week seem to have tested the president-elect In this way by having the newspapers announce j that the sales tax was to be put through, presumably with Mr. Roose velt's approval. The response from Albany was shattering. But per haps the most significant aspect of the incident has escaped the atten tion it deserves. The aspect is Mr. Roosevelt's flat refusal to follow Mr. Garner. No de cision will be reached by the new administration concerning the sales tax without the president-elect. Such is the real meaning, it may well be, of the announcement at Albany last week which must have pained Mr. Hearst that Mr. Roosevelt was "horrified" by the report from Wash ington that he approved of the Gar-ner-Rainey sales tax program. The Roosevelt leadership in the demo-i cratic party, in brief, is asserting it- 1 self. Incidentally, the recent Gar-j ner-Roosevelt episode is having the effect of putting the next vice-president in his proper place. The cam paign bugaboo that Garner would dominate Roosevelt the coming four jeers has already been deflated. The indications are that there is a Roosevelt program shaping up, which is not to say that the president-elect will take no advice but that the program adopted for the re mainder of the "lame duck" session, land later on lor tne special session in the spring, will have the Roose velt leadership stamped upon it so that every democratic senator and representative will know what he is bucking against if he opposes it. The logic is good if a policy must have the power of the president back of it to go through, then it must be the president's policy. No president has ever been a successful leader of con gress who did not spread himself all ove rthe program he desired to have enacted. Whether the Roosevelt program proves adequate or wise in whole or in part, time will reveal. It looks at least as if the president-elect wuold be a glutton for absorbing of ficial responsibility; witness his re ported demand to be granted full power to reorganize the government's departments and cut costs of admin istration approximately in accord with his platform's extravagant pledges. It would be a herculean job, but he has coming to him a job for a Hercules. If there is the strength and sense of direction im plicit in great leadership latent in the man, his exceptional opportunity for service, with a new congress elected ovrwhelmingly democratic, should develop him fast. Springfield Republican. :o: BUSINESS OF KNOWING FACTS The deeper we get into the mire of industrial and business depres rion the more clear it becomes that one of the principal causes of our present situation was the reckless overconfidence of supposedly "big" men in the unsupported assertions of other "big" men. Nothing could be more amazing than the facts brought out in the in quiry in New York into the affairs of Samuel Insull and his companies. He walks into a bank and asks for a loan of millions. Nobody takes the trouble to inquire whether the secur ities he offers are any good or not: they are being sold at a certain price on the Stock Exchange, and that is enough for the bankers. They lend him the money, and now it turns out that the securities represented noth ing, or practically that. Ivar Krueger, the Swedish "Match King," likewise built up public con fidence, until the biggest bankers and investment houses lent him hundreds of millions on his word alone. They had no way of knowing, of course, that he had turned crooked, but they could have found out the facts about the worthless "securiteis" he un loaded on them. We heard of one European repre sentative of an American bank who nearly lest his job when he advised his boss to lay off loans to Krueger. The very men who were trapped into parting with money intrusted to them by depositors and investors, by reason of their own misplaced con fidence in men like Insull and Krueg er, are the ones who were most loud ly demanding that the public should have confidence in themselves and their institutions. We are very much in favor of a complete reform of our banking sys tem, which will make it more diffi cult for men handling other people's money to keep out of prison after they have parted with the money without knowing the facts. If that is lack of confidence, we confess to it. What this country needs is fewer banks and more real bankers. :o: Japan, although facing a huge deficit, has adopted the largest bud get in the history of the nation. So here's another country that has be come thoroughly westernized. :o: Come to Plattsmouth Wednes day night and mingle with the big and congenial crowd.
