public minded citizen win be

We met the team of an express COM

The driver was in the greater meas
use responsible, but the least big eX-
press company like this one could DO Is
to provide for inspection of its horses
these days. To make sure that they are
sharply Shod, and TO make sure, too,
that its drivers carry blankets for the
horses while standing.
Let the Detroit Welfare association
know if you meet case of neglect and
cruelty such as an unblanketed or un-
shod horse.
An owner or a driver guilty in either
instance belongs in jail, and we feel our
selves quite human in suggesting JAN as

Henry Ford Not Afraid to Try.
10 The Editor OF The Times:

To ihe Editor OF The Times:
Henry Ford has been called
jackass and clown because he
hired a ship and sailed across the
sea TO stop the most frightful
slaughter in the history OF the world.
Maybe he can't stop the war. Few
expect that he will succeed. Nimble
witted critics are having piles OF
fun with him because they don't be-
lieve he can deliver the goods.
But, TO me. the big thing in his
action is not the question OF wheth-
or he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that HE Is WILL
ING TO TRY, II was by TRYING
that he got where he Is. But stu
he keeps on trying.
In the face OF overwhelming odds.
in spite OF a world wide criticism.
he is willing TO undertake the great.
est job that ever fell to the lot OF
a human being in the worlds his
tory. He brushes aside the thous-
ands OF columns of newspaper criti-
cism. he ignores the public utter
ances OF so-called statesmen. he sets
his face towards the most glorious
goal that any man ever hoped 10
achieve-and goes on his way, try
ing
They say he is trying 10 advertise
his automobile. But still he goes
on trying. They say his riches have
turned his head. Put still he tries.
They say he never did anything but
promote a good automobile engine
and they ask what right he has to
undertake the work OF diplomats
The present war Is the result OF
most gigantic failure OF diplomacy.
and the fact that Henry Ford is
willing TO try a thing in which the
great diplomats OF the world have
failed only adds TO the bigness OF
his trying.
So far as know he is the only
person who has taken a definite
step toward ending the war. True.
II may not be the right step. but
how are We ever going TO find the
right step until We try? The men
who sit in swivel chairs and sneer
and make funny jokes about that
man Ford are not taking steps OF
any kind 70 end the war. THE JOP
