APPLAUDS HENRY FoRD.-Sane
persons the world over will rise from
their seats to applaud Henry Ford as
the worlds greatest negotiator for
peace. If Henry Ford calls a strike
in the trenches he will be interna-
tionalizing a movement that already
has begun in the thoughts of millions
of individuals who are powerless to
give it expression outside of a limited
circle.
The only persons that are aghast
at Henry Ford's pilgrimage are the
kind of people who feed on the stuff
handed out by preachers on etiquette
and table manners But it is time now
to quit paying attention to Doris
Blake, B. L. T., Laura Jean Libbey
and such like.
What do we care if Lea & Perrin
and Beecham would not have the
courage to do as Henry Ford is do
ing in case the q. S. was at war?
Henry Ford is going to do some
thing different. Something different
is just what is needed right now. And
Henry Ford is not going to use either
pills or sauce in his mission. He is
going to use sand.
The success of the Ford pilgrimage
will depend on the companions he |
selects. It's a good thing all these |
governors turned down the Ford in |
vitation. For Ford needs men and |
women who are fearless.
Henry Ford should select men of |
the caliber of Hinky Dink, Bathhouse |
John, Arthur Burrage Farwe1l and |
Frank Lloyd Wright, men who do
not give a d-n what the rest Of the |
world may think or say.
Ford should have one or two men
and women with him who eat peas
with a knife, one or two who will be

They must be able to do these

Europe and the world needs now is
a good laugh, and the kind of men
who can put that laugh over have to

THE VISIBLE SUPPLYING re-
Egious trust is worrying terribly be-
cause their visible supply Of misery
is about to be cut off. Church barons
thrive on sorrow, grief, misery, ig-
norance, superstition, defective ba-
bies, homeless and unclaimed chill
dren, weddings, christenings and fu-
nerals. Their visible supply of mis-
cry is about to be cut of. Their SUI
perstitious dope they usually hand
out no longer hypnotiZes their flocks.
The woman of intelligence is TAX
ing the place. of the woman Of grief
and sorrow. In religions Mrs. Eddy
represents the new thinking type of
woman. Among unfortunates she is
observed in such broad-minded wom-

we see her as Mrs. DR.. Blunt. Among
rich women we see her as Mrs. Har-
riman and Mrs. Belmont. Women
are thinking. They demand the vote.
Men are trembling in their boots
all over the world because women
are getting on to their games Of four
flush. Women are demanding proper
birth control and complete sexual
knowledge. Political and religious
barons are worried because the world
is demanding that defective-born
children shall not live, but die a
peaceful and merciful death. .
These barons are worried for fear
they will lose their visible supply of
