Our Daily Bread.

Prince Albert consort of Queen Vic
toria, made a translation of German
hymn, which attained to some popu-
larity In England and Scotland. One
stanza was used In some households
as grace before meat. 1t ran thus:
God bless our going out, nor less
Our coming in. and make them sure;
God bless our daily bread, and bless
Whate'er we do, whateer endure;
In death unto His peace awake us,
And heirs OF His salvation make us.
1t Is told of Brooklyn city mis-
sionary, the Rev. Henry Bromley, that
he was passing one day through the
dark hall of a tenement, when he
caught the words of this stanza
through an open door.
Looking within, he saw a woman
and three children seated at q table,
whereon lay only loaf of bread. The
reverence and the apparent refinement
of the family impressed him deeply,
and gave to the lines new beauty.
That evening company Of Chris
tian men met to dine together and to
consider some question of religion or
philanthropy, and Mr.. Bromley was
asked to say grace. He related the in
cident, and repeated the stanza Then
the company sat down to dinner.
After the conference was over, a
stranger, who had been present as the
friend and guest of one of the COM
pany, came to Mr.. Bromley, and asked
him for some further description OF
the woman who had recited the lines.
Such information as Mr. Bromley was
able to give was received with the
very greatest interest, and the strang-
er asked to be conducted to the tene-
ment.
Long ago. In our country home In
Scotland" he said, my grandmother
taught my sister and myself to repeat
that grace. Our grandmother died;
my sister married and went, know
not where. 1t Is years now since
lost sight of her; but every day in my
own home that grace Is said, and feel
sure that In my sisters home, II she Is
living, 1t Is also repeated"
The woman in the tenement and this
man were indeed brother and sister,
and were thus reunited after years OF
separation-years that on her part had
been full of trial.
Gods blessing, daily asked upon the
humble loaf and the going out and
coming In of the orphaned household
had never failed through the years ot
privation, and 1t grew more abundant
in the finding of the brother.-Youth's

Toiling in Rowing

Mark 81: 48.
No crown that men give, save of thirn.
II not of their love, wouldst Thou
wear.
The glitter of earth Thou didst scorn,
And turn to the mountain Of prayer.
But though with the Father alone,
With holy communion content,
Their "toiling in rowing" was known,
Whom Thou oer the waters hadst
sent.
Those waters were angry and dark:
The winds and the billows were
high;
The surges broke over their bark,
And hopeless destruction seemed
nigh,
But, coming Thy toilers to save,
The sea must Thy pathway prepare.
Who speakest to wind and to wave,
And lo a great calm everywhere.
And thus on our life's stormy deep,
When "toiing In rowing" with fear,
Thy vigil we know Thou wilt keep,
And wilt for our succor appear.
For all who, obedient to Thee,
Go forth Thy command to fulfill,
For them Thou wilt walk on the sea,
And bid every tumult be still.

struction a thousand times more valuable in the automobile
industry than Seldens, and could also threaten and bring
suits against many of this Divine COMMITTEES" as ~infringers
OF its patents. Not for a moment, however, had it entered
our heads TO harass or annoy individual users OF licensed
product by suing them as infringers of Ford patents.
Although the opinion of Judge Hough was fled on
September Is, 1909, no injunction has ever been entered
against us in this case, nor indeed has any decree been en-
tered. 1t would really seem, then, that this threatening
cabal should get through with us first before they make any
attack upon our customers. The court will not permit our
customers to be sued and prosecuted as individuals while
this suit is pending against us as manufacturers.
A Lower Court Decision is far from final. 1t is only
the first round of a patent battle. There remain the Court
of Appeals and then the Supreme Court, TO both Of which
we can, and, If necessary, will, carry this case. This is a
right granted us by the Constitution OF the United States,
which right we will exercise, SO that it is hardly becoming of
our esteemed License competitors to take this decision as
final, and by it endeavor to intmidate present and prospec-
tive owners of Ford cars.
The opinion of the patent i'll the lower court was rem
dered by District Judge Hough, showing on its face that he
expected an immediate appeal to the higher court from the
doubtful questions disclosed by his opinion.
Although it is seven years since this fight was started
and nearly six months since the decision was rendered, no
decree has yet been entered, and there is no immediate like
lihood.
There are millions of dollars invested and more being
invested every day in the building and marketing OF I'm
licensed automobiles which will unquestionably bring ad-
yanced methods of manufacture into vogue and will mean
better and more economical cars to buy and to maintain.
It is a well known fact that prices are already too high,
although this Divine Executive Committee says TO the
Unlicensed makers, Before we will place upon you Our
Divine blessing we desire you TO advance your prices sew
eral hundred dollars per car and to limit your production,
and while they do not say, it is clearly implied, SO we will
not have such keen competition.

Because the unlicensed makers are not organized they
do not present such an array Of names as their selfconstt-
tuted saviors of the public, but we assure you that there are
sufficient independent manufacturers who will continue to
fight against turning the automobile industry into a mon
opoly.
til clearly the duty of every l~aw-abiding American
citizen 10 respect exclusive rights secured by q patent, when
and declared to be an honest patent by the highest courts in
the land. Such, however, cannot be said of the Selden patent:
We take issue with the statement that the members OF
the Licensed Association individually and collectively are
chiefly responsible for the development Of the automobile TO
its present perfect state. HENRY FORD alone has done
more to develop the automobile industry than the combined
members of the Licensed Associations, which fact cannot be
honestly contradicted. We believe the public will agree
with us in this.
1t is not true that those licensed under the Selden pat
ent have been and are now leaders in the production OF me-
dunn, low and high priced cars. We can prove by figures
and facts that HENRY FORD produces more low priced
cars than any other maker in the world. So 1t can hardly be
stated that these Licensees are the leaders in the production
of low priced cars. We ask our friends who have heard or
read some of the statements made by these Divine people
to call upon them to furnish their proof.
In conclusion ue beg to state If there are any ~prospeetivs
automobile buyers 0ho are at all iAtttddted by the CLAIMS
made BY eur GdaersdrieS that ne qol gt0e them, in addition

his Advertisement Is Published
for the Protection of Automobile Buyers
. '' a&&HS<sx,:&56! { en.eanw

An advertisement recently published under this head
ing was for the intention of intimidating prospective buyers,
who, deciding on merits only, would overlook all OF the II
varieties mentioned and purchase a FORD.
History repeats itself. That same sort OF advertising
appeared in 1908, warning against the purchase OF an I'm
licensed Car. After nearly seven years the Licensed AsSo-
citation has Unexpectedly received a Lower Court decision
and the advertising of 1908 is repeated.
They tell you in bold face type that There is no reason
why any one buying a car should not buy a Licensed Car
There are many reasons. why one should NOT buy a
car licensed under the Selden Patent, because by SO doing
trust methods are encouraged, the evolution OF the industry
curtailed, and the maintenance OF h~igh-priced and poor
quality cars assisted, because it is obvious that a protected
monopoly does not try to please the public by producing
better goods by more economical means.
Who has constituted this Divine Body to tell the
public the names of manufacturers who market honest or
dishonest cars? Who will say that FORD, cars are dishon-
est after all they have done TO promote the advancement OF
the industry? In this connection we were speaking to one
of the prominent Licensed members the other day, and dur
ing the conversation he stated that without doubt HENRY
FORD had done more, in building and marketing his low
priced machines, to advance the industry than any dozen
other manufacturers In the business
1t is a safe be, that the car will be honest as long as the
manufacturer pays his dues TO this Divine Body" And
would this same body deign TO pronounce the FORD car
dishonest In face fwhat it has done for the development of
the entire car industry? Would the FORD be a dishonest
car IL FORD would Join the 81 varieties?
Our opinion ard orr position, taken from the beginning,
is apshakes-that this ,Seldtn Patent is a freak among alleged
ssSentsons and is g~corthlesS as a patent and 1oorthiesS oS a
dsafce.
The advertising campaign in the newspapers OF this
Divine Committee represents commercial morals and
business methods which are very questionable. II the Ford
Motor Company cared to resort to such tactics it has patents
that cover many OF the leading features OF automobile con-

News From the TRIPOD

this winter,-partly because of the eco
nomic wave which has swept our coun-
ty and partly because of an increase of
homegrown stuff,-yet from this time
on, the person who has to buy must
get his supply from another State.
Many farmers believe there is no de.
mand for homegrown things They all
force their surplus on the market at
one time, the result being that the sup
ply just at that time is greater than
the demand and very low prices pre-
vail as a consequence. If those who
are able would hold their goods for a
few weeks and let those who are not
sell in the fall, there would be a brisk
demand the year round, and twenty
times as much of the products would
be consumed as at present.-Port Glib

NO FARM PRODUCTS FOR SALE.

There are no homegrown corn, peas,
hogs or COWS for sale in this county.
The season has just begun and many
thousands of dollars worth of these
things will be bought during the year.
1t is true that quite number of our
farmers have all the corn and meat
they will need for their use, but there
are very many farmers and town peo-
pie who will have to buy.
If those who raise these things had
raised for market as well as for home
consumption, they would have realized
good prices for them. Every year
thousands of bushels of corn, thous-
ands of bushels of peas, thousands of
bales of hay, and thousands of pounds
of meat are brought into this county
and sold at high prices. While i'm

crowd finally succeeded in massing all
their strength and effort at one time
Upon one man. and with a great CEN
ire rush play, forced their favorite
over the goal.
The News has nothing to say, per-
sonally, against Senator Percy; be-
cause, personally we know nothing,
either for or against him, and we
have learned from experience that it
will not do to estimate a man by what
is said about him, by friends or foes,
during a heated political campaign.
But the contest, from start to fin
ish, has not appealed to The News, as
a fair, square deal. It was a combina-
ton of the field against the favorite,
and in the very nature Of things that
is not fair; because, in the hope Of
helping their real choice, men will
agree under certain contingencies to
support some other man who Is not
really their second choice, or their
choice at all, and who is not the
choice of their constituents at home;
nd that is not fair to the LEGISLATOR
himself, or to the man he helps defeat,
or to the people whose servant he is,
and to whom he owes faithful ser
vice and allegiance.
In the second place, the calling of
the caucus was unnecessary, and the
purpose Of it was deceitful. and the
adoption by 1t Of the secret ballot was
unjust and unfair. It was ali done in
the neutrality-suspicious." spir-
It; it was all done under that mad
passion; it was planned, concocted
and schemed by politicians vested
with little brief authority, and with
out due regard for the wishes Of their
constituents who had sent them there
as their trusted public servants, to
do their will; not to vent their person
al spleen, or to vote according to some
old predetermined political prejudice.
Mr.. Vardaman's interest WAS sec
ondary to the right of the people to
have their wishes voiced and counted
by the ballots Of their public SER
wants; and 1t seems to The News
that the rights Of the great body of
the people Of Mississippi have been
trampled upon and their wishes ig-
nored and their petitions spurned.
The question will be appealed TO
this great tribunal Of the people, and
upon their verdict the friends of Gov
ernor vardaman are quite content to
rest the issue.
