Henry Ford isyiol, of cmu'hp, a profound student of history, poli
tics or ccoiMimies. Outside of his special field of tho pus ('lifiinc, and
indiistriiil inanaf;oinciit, ho is, us was shown on the witness stand, a
few yoars ilk'", an exceptionally i;n'i'uii!man n well liicanint; man
no doubt, with a fjeuuine love for Immunity, and a f'nuino desire to
belter tint lot of I he average man, but with a heart invariably run
nine; away with his head. '
This has boon demonstrated in intiumorablo instanoos. As Nor
man IHipfjood has shown fecently in Ihn (lii4erniitional jraj,'a.ino,
Henry has been hopelessly horiiswav;t;l'd by tho Jew baiters. He
Mvalbnved a car load of fraudulent evidence and spent a carload of
cash on what was essentially unjust and destructive propaganda. A
better informod man would never have been duped, never have done
a race Nitoli a p;ratutiotis wrotiff. .
Now ho is suffcrini,' from a Wall SI root complex Ho sees all tho
troubles of mail proceeding from this short section near Lower
liroadway. And because Henry is a well meaning man, a successful
man, and a very rich man, thousands of people listen to what he has
to say, when they would not listen to millions of other men far more
competent to render an opinion on economic and political problems
confronting their country.
. So one involuntarily squirms, when Henry closes his factory and
opens his mouth. For closing such it factory is a tremendous eco
nomic performance, and the succeeding verbal exorcise, enjoys in
consequence tremendous public; iinporlanec-ont of all proportion
to its intrinsic worth; ' .
Mr. Ford says AVall Street is responsible fop tho railroad strike.
And as this is not only n time honored and popular idea, but a con
venient solution of a complex and distressing problem, hundreds of
thousands of people proceed to believe it.
-nd yet Henry gives no evidence, supplies no key to the mystery,
in no way explains why most people have believed, tho refusal of the
nhop men to return to work without their seniority rights, was and
!is the main cause of the walkout.
j Such a statement from such !i source is particularly regrettable
;nt this time, when lonsethinking is so epidemic, when clear thinking
'and accurate statements bused not on prejudice but facts, arc so in
demand. i
Closing the doors of Mr. Ford's factory is bad enough but open
ing tho Ford cut-out at such a distressing timo is nothing short of a
'calamity.
Quill Points

Wealth, isn't everything, but many married couples can't get
along when they're short. .
i When n grass widow begins to pity a married man, the poor
pump is beginning to need it.
) After all, the most enjoyable think about the ole swinnnin' hole
was youth.
F.ven the woman who stands up for her rights doesn't particularly
enjoy doing it in a .street car.
It must bo fine to be a policeman and always at it considerable
distance from where the trouble is.
Tho only thing you can say for tho present state of chaos is that
it may make us a nation of good marksmen.
Speaking of liffinities, let us not forgot the green apple and the
stomach ache.
Iu a largo town you are judged by what you have oft; in a small
town you are judged by what tho neighbors have on you.
Tho meek may inherit the earth, liut the rent they now pay would
indicate that they are buying it on the installment plan.

TORTURE
I have cut out nil my laughing, I'm a stranger to delight; for
my neighbor's phonographing, grinding music day and night,
and my hitter cup I'm quaffing, and my language is a fright.
Once my life was gay atiir cheerful, it licit! nothing sad or sour,
and my map was never tearful, never knew n briny shower; 'twas
before I got tin ear full of tinned music every hour. I am fond
of music stately, be it canned or he it raw; I enjoy the masters
greatly, singing songs without a flaw: hut the stuff I'm hearing
lately sounds like filing of n saw. For my neighbor's grapho
phoning. and his records till Sire punk; they are rattling, sltriek-
it nr. groaning, with a clinking, clanking clunk; and I'm yearning
ami I'm honing for a hermit's cave and bunk. Oh. my jazzy
neighbor's grinding evermore a tinny tune; he is winding, wind
ing, winding, in the torpid hour of noon; noisy solace he is find
ing by the pale light of the moon. And ho leaves his couch to
. tinker with his jim-blamod music mill; when the eastern skies
grow pinker he is wrestling with it still, ami he hands mo, line
and sinker, music guaranteed to kill. So my heart is slowly
breaking, and I shed a priceless tear, and there seems n, use in
faking happincsN that's not .sincere, while my neighbor's mill'
is waking all the echoes far and near.
