Detroit's Auto MIIIionnires.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Upward Of s12.OcO,OOO every week pours
into Detroit to fill the gasoline Golfers Of
the crop Of new automobile millionaire
Manufacturers in the "City OF the Strait -
That is to say. Michigan has over 90 per
cent of the devil wagon manufacturing
trade of the United States, and Detroit
has 65 per cent of the so.
AS the total Michigan output is app oxi-
mately $SjO,OOO,0OO per annum..an1 is
likely to reach ST. 100000 before lgl5-
Detroit's share runs into figures that
make the mythical riches of swashbuck-
ling Monte Cristo look trifiing.
Whence comes this prodisious prosper
ity? What causes have combined to
create a new Pittsburgh Of the Middle
West?
Surely there is some explanation.
1t is an interesting story-rivals any Of
the tales of the Thousand and One
Nights" The curious part of this ro-
nance of magic money-conjuring is that
generally speaking. the supreme kings Of
this new industry are not hnanciers.
They are, instead, blacksmiths.
This wondrous anomaly becomes intelli-
gible when one stops only for a few
moments to consider how the gasoline
car has annually beaten its own marvel
Gus record for growth. 1t has advanced
in popularity with the speed of an aero
plane.
In ancient times-that is to say. about
the year 19O0-the men behind the various
car models that have survived the tests
of efficiency were mostly day laborers of
one kind or another, but chiefly black
smiths. leather-workers, railroad var Omen
and others less skilled.
1t requires a self-trained mechanic to
take interest in the intricacies of the
gasoline engine. Such a man was Henry
Ford, who today has an income Of s., 600
900 a month. Ford was an itineranI
thrashing machine boss; before that he
was a farmers lad; later an employe in
an electric light factory. He possessed
Yankee adaptability for mechanics. He
worked nights on his ''new-fangled mo-
tor" as he described it. The results were
slow and crude, but he kept on the job.
Other men who are now at the front of
the gigantic industry came up with fac
tory SCOT upon their faces and foundry
CRIME upon their overalls.
1t was you understand, a problem for
a dreamer-a man willing to idle away
his time.
The era of the capitalist in the gasoline
field came much later. The blacksnltths
we're the founders Of the new dynasty.

Cities Without Politics.

In number of Indiana cities a nom
partisan ticket is being run this year
in an effort to remove city politics
from the control of the big national
parties. This is but one more at
tempt to solve what is sometimes con-
sidered the biggest problem confront
ing a democratic country-the prob
lem Of governing the cities cleanly and
efficiently. Other attempts have in
volved the commission form, by which
the citizens turn over the entire man.
agement of the city to a few men of
established reputation and hold them
responsible for the economical conduct
Of municipal affairs, and the German
plan, recently adopted in Dayton. This
consists of engaging an acknowledged
expert in city MANAGEMENT to act as
Mayor indefinitely, and to run the mu-
nicipality exactly as a general manager
runs a corporation. In this country
both of these plans are so far expert
mental. Few cities of prominence
have as yet tried the nonpartisan idea
and the movement in Indiana and in
other places where it is being tried
will be worth careful attention.
There can be no doubt that the poor
government of many of our cities,
particularly the largest ones, is largely
due to the fact that the tickets are
elected by the national parties. The
bipartisan machine which controls
things, no matter which party tri-
umphs at the polls, is a familiar ele-
ment in our city politics. With an
efficient voting organization in both
parties it is able to present a solid
front to its opponents, who are often
scattered or poorly organized, and
often to command support from the
State and national party organizations.
To do away with this source of
strength for the machine the nonpar-
tisan or citizens party is being es-
tabished. The theory on which it is
founded is very sound-namely, tha:
the business of. city oficeholders is to
carry on the city's affairs, and that
this business has no righteous connec-
ton with national issues. 1t would be
Just as logical and sensible for the
Democrats and Republicans to divide
in a national election on the question
of bond issue in New York or Phil
adelphia as for the voters of those
cities to determine their city officials
on the basis of protective or revenue
tariff. There is little doubt that
sooner or later the voters of our cities
will come to see this, and when they
do will find some way of choosing
their officials with reference solely to
the duties they have to perform.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s. 1919.
Wages and the Spirit of Invention.

Narrow-minded politicians, prating
the sentiments of still more narrow
minded manufacturers, are frequently
heard to say that high wages are the
great obstacle to American industrial
supremacy and that it is impossible for
our producers to compete with what
they choose to denominate the "pauper
labor" of Asia and Europe. 1t never
seems to occur to them that there may
be economy in high wages.
Why are wages low in China, in
Japan, in Germany, in Great Britain! !
Is not the chief cause the ineficiency
of the methods of production? a
mans income is determined in the long
run by what he produces, and, If in
China he produces a product worth a
few cents, he receives a few cents for
his pay; if in England he is efficient
enough to produce product worth Is
cents, he receives a proporuonately
higher wage; if in the United States
he can operate machinery and manipu-
ate the processes of production in or
ier to obtain a still larger product, he
5 rewarded by still larger income.
In our system Of competition high
wages are a stimulus to invention.
Cheap labor makes it easy for the man
ufacturer TO produce without elabor-
ate mechanical equipment; dear labor
forces him to economic by labor
saving devices. In a remarkable ar
ticle in a recent issue of the British
Fortnightly Review. J. Ellis Barker
says, discussing British industry:
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Formerly British wages were far
higher than those of our competitors
Before the free trade era British
wages were, for instance, four times
as high as were German wages. As
the experience of the United States
shows, there is economy in high wages.
Largely owing 10 their higher wages
the United States have become the
foremost manufacturing country in
the world, for high wages have COM
PEELED the American manufacturers to
employ the most powerful, the most
perfect, and the most productive labor
saving machinery. Thus the United
States has become by far the most
important industrial producer in the
world.
High wages, then, are not merely an
advantage to the wage-earner; they
are also a boon to industry. The
wonderful development of automatic
looms in the cotton industry and labor
saving machinery in the boot and shoe
and iron and steel industries illustrate
the stimulus to invention that accom-
panies high wages in the United
States. In our industries the horse
power per wage-earner is much greater
than in England and Germany, and by
means of the marvellous development
of machinery the American laborer has
become more efficient than his brother
across the sea. He can, therefore, de-
mand higher wages and higher wages
in turn stimulate the spirit of .inven-
tion. Industrial progress and high
wages are usually found together.

GIRLS BODY IN RIVER.

Kearney. n. j., Sept. 1S.-An examina-
tion made today preliminary to the au-
topsy convinced police officials that Alice
Hopper, aged eighteen, was first assault
ed and then murdered before her body
was thrown into the river here.
The girl left her home Saturday night
to mail a letter. The letter box was in a
semi-deserted section. She failed to re-
turn. Her body was found in the Passaic
River last night 1t had been weighed
with a number OF stones. Bruises on her
body and head led the police to believe
that she had put up a terrific struggle
before she came to her death.

SUFFRAGEACTION
ASKED in SENATE
Resolution for Amendment Is
Called Up by Senator
Jones.
NO REASON FOR DELAY
Pays High Tribute to Women of the
Country and Says They Are
Well Fitted to Vote.

Senator Wesley L. Jones Of Washington
yesterday brought up the consideration
Of joint resolution No. l. which provides
for the submission TO the States of an
amendment to the Federal Constitution
admitting the women OF the country TO
the franchise.
There can be no reason for not acting
upon this resolution except that inert
ness which characterizes a body like this
when it does not desire TO see any radical
change made, and yet Is afraid to opposs
1t. and therefore compromises by doing
nothing" said Senator Jones, in part.
Not only is there widespread demand
for the passage of this resolution, but
the merits Of the proposition justify not
only our favorable action, but its adOp-
ton by the people.
The demand for woman suffrage is
but another step in the progress OF
woman to an equality with man that has
been going on through the centuries, and
which we can no more stop than We can
prevent the ebbing and flowing Of the
tides Barbarism and savagery mark
woman's lowest condition and greatest
subjection."
Mr.. President, there is really no sub
stantial objections that can be urged
to the passage of this resolution and the
adoption of this amendment Every OBJ
lection that is urged can be with greater
force against male suffrage and has no
force in sex distinction II is most Diff
ficult to argue a proposition against
which no valid objection can be urged.
II is like fighting windmills One good
woman opposing woman suffrage says:

power to discharge the duty Of good cit
izenship will assist her in making not
only her home better, but other homes
better: It will make her not only good
mother, but enable her to be a more
efficient mother, an inspiring one to her
children. and enable her TO protect them
from pitfalls over which she now has
an influence, but no power, and it GER
tainly will make her not only loyal.
intelligent, and active citizen. but 1t will
stimulate her loyalty and activity. All
this can be done without the loss Of any
Of her womanly attributes or inspiring
influences.
I'm fact. this power to discharge the
CJties which she is beginning to realize
more and more will make her more wom-
anly, more inspiring. and more COmpan-
ionable than ever before, a better wife
and a better mother, and instead OF
spending SO much Of her time in the
frivolities of the day, more of them will
spend more Of their time in carrying out
the real purposes Of every human life.
Never was a class so well fitted by
intelligence, education. capacity, refine
ment, lofty motives. high aspirations, and
native ability to receive the fun power
to discharge the duties of citizenship in
a great nation as are the women Of the
United States. She demands this power
not as a special privilege, but as a we'll
