CURRENT THINKING
CHINA WANTS TO TANGO.

Democratic China, her feet no
longer bound, but aspiring to civil
lied fashions, liberal culture and
all-round up-todateness, processes a
yearning to dance the tango, turkey
trot, lulu fado maxixe and buzzard
flop.
We are duly nattered, though we
had fondly hoped that China would
initiate our virtues rather than our
follies. The horrible thought that we
are morally responsible for China and
that she is going to follow our exam
pie is likely to deter US from many
an agreeable pastime. We can't af-
ford to be a stumbling block in Chi
mas path or tempt her unsophisticat-
ed heather feet into tortuous Chris
tian ways, terpischorean or otherwise.
Come to think of It, 1t might be
better for civilization in the long run

AUTOS FOR RURAL CAR.
RIERS

n HE government is now
W providing some rural
mail routes with autos in
stead Of horses. This is a move
50 meritorious that it cannot
fail to bring good results. Com
pared with the auto a horse is
a slower traveller. Equipped
with a little auto a rural car
rier could serve several times
the territory he can reach with
a horse in one day.
In Umatilla county there are
sections where the mail is de-
liyered only two or three times
a week and the routes are
roundabout. If the govern
ment would revise its routes
and provide the carriers with
autos a wonderful improve
ment could be brought about
in the rural service.

HENRY FORD AND HIS MEN

(From the San Francisco EXaminer)
Henry Ford having sent to New
York for scientific treatment several
of his employees addicted to the use
of drugs or alcoholic liquors, the rep
resentative of the Ford welfare de-
partment accompanying them has
this to say of the principles animating
his chief:
Mr.. Ford looks upon each man as
tremendously more important than a
machine. When. however, machine
goes wrong We have a mechanic who
looks it over and fixes it. Now,
man is much more important to Mr..
Ford. He wants to see that each
man has every possible opportunity OF
bettering himself.
Men looked upon machine per-
forming some task of marvellous COM
plexity, and in tones approaching awe
say: 1t is almost humanl"
They look upon a workman, toiling
twelve hours a day, at a monotOnous,
even degrading task, for wage that
barely suffices for the days needs
and with contemptuous shrug re-
mark; Hes a mere machine"
But the machine of steel is tended
with a care almost loving lest i'll
break down. 1t is not speeded be-
yond its capacity. The temperature
in which it works is carefully regu-
lated At night It is oiled and rub
bed down like some splendid athlete
after his triumph in the arena. The
human being who tend it are unre-
hitting in their care and often boyish
in the pride they take in their charge
But who as rule, takes pride I'M
them?
Few indeed are the workmen for
whom employers manifest the care
they show to their machines. The
men, aye, and women and children,
too, may work long hours in fetid
overheated air or in damp cellars.
They rub down and cover the ma
chimes they serve but who ever gives
their tired bodies any restful atten-
tion? They are speeded up to the
breaking point, and should that point
be passed their employer calls in no
repairer of the human body or restor-
er Of the human will to bring them
back TO efficiency They must look
out for themselves.
Henry Ford recognizes the differ
ence in treatment of the two ma

fare. The time may come when
gunfire will be equally out Of
date as an effective method of
slaughter. The Germans are
already using asphyxiating
bombs and the French make

Edison is quoted as saying cleo
tricity may be used for war
purposes if methods Of use can
be developed.
At the request of Secretary
Daniels, Edison has consented
to head a commission Of inven-
tors the purpose Of which will
be to devise the best possible

TWENTY BILLIONS A YEAR

T is estimated by Henry
Clews, New York financial
writer, that the war will
cost Europe approximately
twenty billions a year until it
is completed. In his last re-
view Mr.. Clews said:
'If those of ultra-optimistic
tendencies have underestimate
ed the duration and the appall-
ing consequences of this war, it
follows they have also under
estimated its financial effects.
An early ending is not yet in
sight. The Allies are still pre-
pairing on a gigantic scale for
their supreme effort, which
has not yet been attempted.
Next autumn the world will
probably find one side materi-
ally weakened by continuous
superhuman struggle, while
the other has been strengthen
ed by prolonged preparation.
AS for the end, that cannot be
expected until one side or the
other is thoroughly exhausted.
The best estimates are that the
struggle will cost Europe from
S18,000,000,O0O to $20,000,-
100000 yearly until the finish.
Such terrific waste cannot but
profoundly affect the worlds
capital markets, and the ad-
justment of values to these abb
normal conditions is still pro-
crossing, and the most import
ant problem of the day, finan-
cially considered, is the paying
of Europe's debt to the United
Before the war started had
anyone predicted the world
would soon be spending such
sums for such pur-
poses he would have been
treated as insane.

the neglected one-the workingman.
Recognizing that dun. monotonous
and mind-dwarfing work must be done
he made the conditions Of employ
ment such that men could do it and
still not be stunted in their manly
qualities. The world gasped when ne
paid IS day to men who merely
frightened in one automobile after an
other, but the money saved those
men from becoming mere machines
enabled them to live and to save like
men and cultivate wider human inter
ests.
In endeavoring to cure some OF his
workmen from evil habits, Mr. Ford
is merely carrying out his pinciple of
conserving the efficiency of his men
as he would that OF his machines. II
a gear had a habit of slipping. that
part of the machinery would be shut
down until a mechanical expert could
correct it, The human machines
which put themselves out of order
with nquor or with drugs are TO be
given like expert attention.
In all this Mr.. Ford dlsavows any
sort of benevolent purpose. The re-
ports of his company's profits empha-
tically demonstrate that his policy
pays. Not one of the great employ
ers who insist on regarding labor as
a commodity and men as machines
are not responsible can point to a.
business success that parallels Ford's
Yet few emulate his methods or are
willing to accept as he does the res

ing the working force in as good con-
dition as the mechanical equipment
Is it SO exceedingly hard for cor

stand that fair play pays?
