OWER, sturdiness and dependability have been qualities of Buick Valve-in- Head Mowr Uais from the time that the name Buick first became linked with the automobile industry. Today, in equal meas- ure as in the past, the Buick Motor Com- pany is dedicated to a continuance of the policy that has caused the Buick car tooccupy the position it holds in the public mind. cANNOUNCING Tue New Nineteen Twenty One Buick SERIES Three Passenger Gipen Model Twenty One Forty Four Five Passenger Open Model Twenty One Forty Five Four Passenger Coupe Model Twenty One Forty Six Five Passenger Sedan Model Twenty One Forty Seven Four Passenger Coupe Model ‘Twenty One Forty Eight Seven Passenger Open Model Twenty One Forty Nine Seven Passenger Sedan Model Twenty One Fifty Ask us fer Delivery Date, Catalog and Prices, or write the mand, ‘ i T a 0 TE 2 EE, OOS a are > WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT, BUICK To all that the name Buick has meant in twenty years of automo- bile history, the new Nineteen Twenty One Buick brings that grace of movement, that re- finement of every line and feature, that sheer beauty cf design which inspire a pride of owner- ship in a fine motor car. TAKES SIDE OF LABOR. ...The National Catholic Welfare Council is clearly on the side of the laboring man and the middle classes; It exonerates the Non- Partisan League, the Farmer and Labor party and the com- mittee of Forty-Eight from the charge of Bolshevism and of So- cialism and says, they come much closer to an adequate statement of desirable principles and measures than the platforms of either of the old parties. The Catholic National Welfare Council, which represents the Catholic Hierarchy in the United States, has recently issued a very important pamphlet, “Bol- shevism in Russia and America,” which can be ordered for 5 cents from the Paulist Press, 120-122 West 60th street New York City, or also a limited number be had gratis at the Catholic Rectory in Nezperce, Idaho. This pamphlet clearly exposes Bolshevism what it is and what it is not. It shows, that “Bolshevik Russia appears to have far less industrial de- mocracy than even political dé- mocracy; that by its disregard of property rights, its subjection of religion and the profligacy of its marriage-laws, it has offend- ed grieviously against the moral law. Bolshevism has confiscat- ed property at its convenience. It has placed the practice of re- ligion at the discretion of men, who hate religion, fear it and de- spise it as a superstition. And finally Bolshevik Russia has blested away the foundations of marriage, family and the home, it has dealt a death blow at soci- al and individual welfare.” But in the second part, the pamphlet shows, that here in the United States organized Bo!- shevism is of insignificant pro- portions, that the united labor movement here in this country is free of Bolshevism. The Plumb plan for the railroads and Mr. Plumb’s later suggestions forall industry are examined, and they are found to be free from the taint of Bolshevism, the Soviet idea, and even of Socialism. Government ownership of a few industries is also declared not to be socialism. In connec- tion with this an outline is given of the programs of the Labor party, the Non-Pastisan League and the Committee of Forty- Eight, and the conclusion is reached, that they are neither Bolshevik nor Socialist. Capitalism is explained, and to oppose this system, is not to op- pose private ownership. For capitalism is only one very mod- ern kind of private ownership. “In the United States,” the pamphlet says, “social unrest is wide and deep, but people have not turned either to socialism or tocommunism. But if a threat now of a revolution cannot be taken seriously, no one can be certain of the future. For our social unrest can easily grow to revolutionary proportions, un- less concerted and far-reaching action is taken to right the econ- omic wrongs, which are the soil, from which revolutions spring.” Last week, the writer of this article addressed a letter to the editor of a paper in Oregon, that has a very large circulation. I informed him about this pamph- let, and expressed my hope that in the future he would carefully avoid to cast any suspicion on the Non Partisan League and on the Farmer and Labor party, etc. In his very friendly reply, the editor thanked me for drawing his attention to that important pamphlet. ‘Beyond all doubt,” he said “The two old parties have out lived themselves, and unless they come to reason, whilst it is not too late they will he replaced by a third party, still to be organized.

But he could not make propaganda for them, because in the state of Oregon, the whole government from the governor down to the most insignificant sheriff were so bitterly opposed to the Non- Partisan League, that anyone who would show himself favor- able to this party, would be con- sidered and persecuted as a Bol- shevist. I ask any one, who can think a little: is not our country at the rim of danger, if a paper of a very large circulation, by fear of persecution and oppres- sion is forced to submit its in- fluence to the selfish aims and views of a tyrannical state-gov- ernment? How far have we stray ed away from the principles and sacred traditions of the founders of this republic ?. The Non-Partisan League and the Farmer and Labor party have some statements in their platforms, with which we can not entirely agree. But no less a person than Rev. Doctor John A. Ryan, professor of Moral Theology at the Catholic Univer- sity in Washington D. C., spec- ialist in all social questions, and therefore director of the Social Action Department of the Na- tional Catholic Welfare Counc’, writes to me under date of Octo- ber, 11th, that he thinks the Non-Partisan League and the Farmer and Labor parties in their declarations-of economic and political principles beyond serious objections. “Certainly.” he writes, ,‘they come much clos- er to an adequate statement of desirable principles and measur- es than do the platforms of eith- eh of the old parties. The prac- tical question before us, but a fairly satisfactory program as against one, that is empty and futile.” The September Bulletin of the) National Catholic War Council on page 15, says, as I have stat- ed above: “Social unrest is wide and deep, but people in the U. S. have not turned either to soclixl- ism or to communism, But no one can be certain of the future. For our social unrest may easily grow to revolutionary propor- tions, unless concerted and far reaching action is taken to right the economic wrongs, which are the soil from which revolution spring.” In the face of such con- ditions, which are undeniable, Buick Motor Company, Flint, Mich.

Both the old parties, Republicans as well as Democrats, had for the last thirty years their chance to show what they are. Weal! know that they are nothing but screens for the invisible govern- ment of Wall Street, and that Wall Street governs through them And therefore he must be a fool that expects any better- ment of conditions from them. He that votes for any of the old two parties, votes for capitalism. And we don’t want that country ruled by capitalism any more than by socialism. For none of those two can make our country vrosperous and happy, but will lead to slavery, ruin and chaos. Capitalism is built and is thriv- ing on usuary, practiced in such a systematic and heartless way end to such an extent that it un- deniably belongs to that class of crimes which are crying to Heav en for vengeance. Some say the Non-Partisan League and the Farmer and Lab- or Party cannot come out victor- ious at the next election, and I do not want to throw my vote away. My dear friend, do not throw your vote away if you use it to make the protest against} the mismanagements of the last six years and of former times as strong as possible? Do you throw away your vote if by it you encourage and uphold those well meaning people, who with out the support of the money- power are unselfishly struggling to right the economic wrongs, to prevent the extinction of the middle-class, and to save our country from the dangers and | of the things. horrors of revolution and chaos? Indeed, any laborman, any farm- er, any small business man, or any belonging to the middle class es, who under our present con- ditions votes in the next election for one of the old parties, he must either not know what he is doing or else he votes against his conscience his country and again st humanity.
