will base his claims to the con-
sideration of the voters. He is
distinctly a "two-term" man,
and wished that we might; ex-
press this in what we would say
lu the people.
Mr. Dodu thoroughly appre-
ciates the serious duties incum-
bent on an active sheriff and
promises to do his plain d.uty.
He promises nothing special/but
will especially attend to cv;cijr

e workmen engaged in
-building ships, and at the muni-
tion plants. The bill carries an
* ..appropriation oi fifty million
dollars, but exports estimate
that two hundred millions may
/ possibly be required. England
has expended nearly seven hun-
dren millions for this purpose.
Many places now of great activ-
ity, and teeming with thousands,
* tnay become depopulated after
the war. It is the purpose of
•the bill to erect temporary quart-
ers in such places, In perma-
nent communities, buildings of
a different type are to be erected
and sold to the skilled workmen
for permanent homes. A feature
to me amusing was, the appear-
ance of a large delegation of
prominent citizens of a New Eng-
land city, where ships are being
buiit, who contended for an ap-
propriation of $50,000 for the use
;of a public bridge the workmen
ould be required to cross, and
. .00,000 for street improvement.
They also wanted liberal appro-
priations for their schools, and
intended for a provision to
ithorize them to collect taxos
a all government property. The
mittee looked upon these
►positions with about as much
erection of a statue of Jas. Bu
Chan an. The monumen t was to
be a gift to the government, the
e.>st being provided for in the
will of Harriet Lane Johnston,,
Mr. Buchanan's niece. The op-
position to its acceptance was
bated upon the ground that Mr.
Buchanan permitted the execu-
tion of John Brown, and that he
held the view that the Federal
government had no constitutional
J right to coerce the Southern
iS'ates into the Union. After a
I two days light the bill was adopt-
ed. Uncle Joe Cannon and many
of the Pennsylvania members
voting with the Democrats.
Presi lent'Buchanan's home was
I at Lancaster, Pa., and he once
1 represented that district in Con-
gress. The district was after-
wards represented by Thaddeus
Stevens, who also resided at Lan-
caster.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
When you buy the Ford Sedan you buy the
servica and essential comforts of the high-
priced limousine-—without the big first cost
and large operating expense. The Sedan is
like the other more than two million Fords in
use—low in cost, high in quality and the most
economical car to run that was ever built.
The Ford Sedan is essentially a family car for
every day in the year, meeting all social de-
mands, being easv, and safe for women who
drive. Sedan $605 f. o. b. Detroit. ^
