him. As it seemed useless to oppose
him. Tammany made the best of the
situation and joined in the praise.
Certainly. Tammany, too, wanted
good man in that office, and so would
help reward Mr.. Whitman with a
second term.
But the boost raised Mr.. Whitman
higher than the district attorneyship.
Republicans at once began to boom
him for the governorship, and when
that state race came off Mr.. Whit
man defeated Tammany's candidate
by something like hundred and fifty
thousand votes. And that boost car
ried Mr.. Whitman so high, his friends
at once began to boom him for the
presidency.
This time Tammany will nominate
a candidate of its own, and for two
reasons:
% Mr.. Perkins has done we'll in
office, but not so we'll as to enjoy
the prestige Mr.. Whitman enjoyed at
the time the latter offered for in
dorsement. He has not had the
Whitman opportunity to impress the
general public. His own party likes
him and will nominate him, but will
have to fight Tammany at the polls.
(2) The bull moosers are taking
part in local politics this year, and
may .complicate the republican situa-
ton considerably. 1t is understood
that they will oppose the new con-
stitution, which is being prepared by
the republicans, and otherwise show
their hands in the campaign. And so
Tammany is asking itself why should
not there be something in such a
melee for it.
If Tam1nany is to get away from its
present starvation rations it must
forage for itself There is nothing in
the administration sack for it. The
latest federal appointment accorded
New York-the counselorship of the
State Department-goes to man not
identified with Tammany. Mr.. Polk
has independent affiliations; and,
while not politician in the everyday
sense, he is on pleasant terms with
New York democrats who are inim-
ical to Tammany, and now maneuver-
ing for chance to supplant the old
with new party organization.

Our Congressman we once beheld
With envy all complete.
His letters all correctly spelled
Were affable and neat.
With our opinions he'd agree
In language smooth, but strong.
His only duty seemed to be
To jolly us along.
But now we do not envy him
The task he must assume.
The future seems trifle grim
And words won't hide the gloom.
No more will we admire the grace
With which his phrases clink;
He's got to strike a different pace
And settle down and Think.

A Hesitating Millennialist.

Henry Ford. the rich Michigan
manufacturer and an estimable man.
declares for Peace with a capital +.
He intends to devote liberal share
OF his we'll earned wealth to the In
dustry OF Transforming swords INTO
plowshares and spears into pruning
hooks. That is, if he can discover
the process. Successful business man
that he is, with a knowledge OF how
to do many things. he is not as yet
clear about this thing.
Says Mr.. Ford in published state
ment:
confess | do not know how it
is best to undertake this work IN an
organized manner. | realize 1t is.
vast undertaking.
1t is a vast undertaking, and MIR.
Ford will consult his own interests
and the interests of the cause he
has at heart by moving slowly. BY
moving swiftly he might spoil a
sword without making a plowshare,
a spear without making pruning
hook. And Mr. Ford as manufac-
turer knows the value of good ma
terial and that none. should be
wasted.
Continuing, Mr.. Ford expresses
this sentiment:
Yet l want to see this nation and
all the nations of the earth nourish-
ing that feeling already deeply i'm
planted in the minds and hearts OF
millions that is expressed in the
words: We do not want war. We
will not have war. We will not have
among us the breeders of war, be
they men who cry out that the enemy
seeks and wesmust prepare for him,
or be they only those who would
dazzle with the false glory that has
been the cloak of murder for CEN
turies.'"
Yes. everybody deplores war. The
nations now fighting deplore war.
But the question always presented IS.
how may war be prevented? If war
could be abolished by statute, or by
eu1ogies of peace, the problem would
be simple. But, unfortunately, per-
feet peace, safe against infraction, is
not an earthly condition. and man
cannot add it to the conditions sur
rounding him. There is no record of
a time when men did not fight, they
are fighting today, and practical
reasoners are persuaded that. under
sufficient provocation. they will con-
tinue OF fighting spirit to the end
OF the human order of things.
I: Mr.. Ford speaks less after the
fashion OF successful man of every
day affairs and more after. that OF
rhetorical dreamer in the phrase "the
false glory that has been the cloak
OF murder for centuries. How
many men accounted by the world as
having been great and good in their
day have worn that garment Were
they backward and benighted? AS
they appear in history, are they
clothed ."ialse glory? Should the
statues of Washington, Jackson.
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Lee and
Stonewall Jackson be tumbled over
because they recall the fighting
spirit in America aroused by situa-
tons which those men considered a
warrant for war?
Some men are ahead of their time
Unless Mr.. Ford has, or can invent,
some means of converting men into
angels, he is a good many years
ahead OF his.

By so doing Ford becomes the largest individual stock holder and the dominant figure in the successful Saxon company, which he has served as president and general manager from it's organization.
 The big stock purchase Gnvolving cash transaction of half million dollars) es- tablishes the Saxon company as an inde- pendent institution which in the space or IS months, since it began shipping cars, has risen to the position of seventh among all Detroit motor companies and tenth among the motor companies of the entire world in number of cars built and sold annually.

In the 10 years they have been on the market, Packard motor trucks to the number of nearly 5000 with a value of nearly s20,00O,000, have been sold for purely commercial purposes.

The figures do not include the trucks which have been sold for export

 "The amount of money invested in Packard trucks is a splendid testimon- ial to the worth of the power vehicle.
