highest wages mean the lowest labor
cost of product And the republican
party, calling itself the party of the
laboring man" and "the party of the
manufacturer" has always lacked
either the power of observation to per
ceive this fact or the honesty to admit
it, or both.
One possible answer may be antici-
pated. We shall probably be told that
the automobile industry is one il
which it is possible to use "1arge-scale
methods of production" to employ au-
tomato machinery and thus make ex-
ceptionally profitable use of labor
This is wholly true-and wholly irrel-
evant to our argument. When Henry
Ford began to make automobiles,
'large-scale methods" as applied to
that industry had not been invented.
But he began in Detroit, where many
factories congregated. and where by
consequence competition became fierce
in proportion. 1t was the fierceness
of this competition that led to the de-
velopment of the methods which pulled
labor cost steadily down while wages
went steadily up. Economical meth
DDS develop where competition is fierc-
est-not where manufacturers a. pro-
tected from it.
1t takes but one torpedo, rightly
placed, to destroy a battleship. And
it takes but one demonstration such
as Henry Ford has supplied to lay the
whole protectionist theory in ruins.

ONE WAY OF DOING TT.

Kansas has undertaken to print its
text books for school use, the Iegisla-
ture having appropriated $250,000 for
the text book plant It is claimed that
this is all the money the taxpayers
will ever be required to pay, as all OF
the text books are published at an
actual profit to the state so that 10
per cent Of the total money used each
year in publishing text books is laid
aside for depreciation and replace
ments and four per cent is laid aside
as interest on the investment Kan
sas has been doing all its state print
ing some ten years and claims to have
effected a large saving over the con-
tract system and feels encouraged TO
add the publication of text books. It
appears to have been an emergency
IN combating graft and poor results
under the contract system that drove
Kansas to the experiment It is ques-
tionable as strictly business PROPOSE
ton, but it may be justified as a means
OF relief when the people are over
reached by private combines.

HAMPERED BY PAST ERRORS

Civilization often seems like an old
drunkard who is forever taking one
more drink to wear off the effects Of
a previous drink, or like a chronic
debtor who is always borrowing upon
the future to refund the past 1t
never seems to catch up with itself,
to start as freshly as it would like to.
Because their fathers fought, children
are taught to hate, and when they
grow up they also fight, leaving to
their children a new heritage of hate.
Because their fathers gave over a con-
tinent TO aimless exploitation, the new
generation finds itself entangled in a
network of law, and tradition and
vested rights from which it cannot
free itself except by injuring those
who have done no wrong.
Because our ancestors lived in hud-
died cities, we go on building upon
narrow and tortuous streets, sinking
our capital in mistakes which age
makes it more and more difficult TO
retrieve, The original cowpaths of
Boston have become picturesque
slums which support innocent ladies
and stit1e the health and happiness
of other peoples children. Attack
these slums and you attack hopeless
ness itself; try to widen and ven
tilate, and you will find that you have
struck at the security of the inno-
cent This is the real strength of the
past and the overwhelming grip il
has upon our lives. 1t lives on, not
harauSa iD+aI1ippDco cau dafaud II
but because it has become so intimate
a part of US that TO cut it out seems
little too cruel-New Republic.

TWO YEARS OF WAR.

Z The most disastrous war in the his
tory OF the world has been raging in
Europe for almost two years and it is
estimated that in that period it will
have cost the nations engaged betwe N
3,500,0 900 and 4.000,000 lives. This does
not include the hopelessly disabled.
which would add perhaps forty per
cent more. AS the New York Times
says, never before has human material
been used up at such rate as this.
During the whole nineteenth century
the cost of the worlds wars in male
life probably did not exceed 100000
men. And that century included the
ten NapoIeonic years in which the to-
tai loss Of life was around 100000,
or about one and one-fourth per cent
OF the population Of Europe at that
time.
Since the Napoleonic wars the popa-
lation-of Europe has much more than
doubled, so that. the loss of life dur
ing the first two years Of the present
war will be less than one per cent OF
me people tnhabiting Europe There

FORD AND A THEORY.

1t IS one OF the unconscious humOrs
of current politics that a republican
who in the presidential primaries, was
christened the "favorite son" of his
state. should, as business man and
manufacturer, have supplied the final
demonstration of the essential folly of
the economic doctrine which is the
cornerstone of the republican creed.
The economic doctrine is the neces-
sity of protection in view of the high
level of American wages; the state is
Michigan, and the man is Harry Ford,
says the St. Louis Republic.
Three facts are notorious with re-
gard to Mr.. Ford's plant; that it is the
most profitable automobile factory in
the United States; that it does the
largest export business, and that it
pays the highest wages. In the sum
mer of 1914 ST. Louisans touring Swift
zerland found Ford cars going in pro-
cession up the mountain passes. There
are no better mechanics in the world
than the shopmen of Zurich, Berne and
Geneva, and Switzerland's markets are
protected by bristling tariff, but the

less.
In the fiscal year which ended Just
one month before the outbreak of war
the United States sold more than $26,-
100000 worth of automobiles in the
foreign market. The two greatest man
ufacturing countries on the continent
of Europe are Germany and France,
and the tariff policy of each is mill
family protective. The manufacturers
of the United States sold, in the year
ending with June, 1914, 1885 motor
cars in Germany; they brought s737
apiece. Moral: Fords. Our manu-
facturers sold in France 1929 cars
they brought s646 apiece. Moral
Fords.
Now let US pause here for one mo-
ment and allow the fact to find its way
home that the overwhelming majority
of the 1,435 cars that went to Germany
and likewise of the 1929 cars that
went 10 France were made with the
highest priced labor on the American
continent Yet those cars crossed the
sea and vaulted over the high tariffs
of the most accomplished manufactur-
ing nations on earth When they came
to the consumer they were burdened
with the heavy selling charge of ex-
port business, ocean freights, marin4
insurance and carriage from the Dor
der to the place of sale, and were sold
in the teeth of local competition,
against the prejudice which naturally
makes against the foreign article and
in favor of home products. Yeti
cannot be too many times reiterated

Actor Spy Is Shot.

Paris.-(Correspondence of The As
ISOLATED Press.)-The Greek spy Con-
doyannis, formerly an actor, was shot
at daybreak on May 26 in front of the
artillery targets at Vincennes. He was
condemned on March Is for giving the
Germans information as to numbers
and movements of troops in France.
and had since vainly exhausted all
means of appeal, including that of ap-
plying to the president of the republic.
On the morning of his execution
Condoyannis was Weakened in his cell
at half past two and told that his time
had come. He dressed slowly, repeat
ing that he wanted to make further
statements, but interrupting himself
every now and then to say to the
guards so you insist that l shall be
shot?"
When dressed. Condoyannis WIS or
dered into a wagon drawn by two
horses and was taken on a journey OF
half an hours duration to the butts"
Getting out of the wagon he walked,
firmly enough, the guards say. to the
wooden post at which he was to stand
to be shot, but kept constantly ex-
claiming Il protest, l protest" While
he was still protesting the guards be-
gan to bandage his eyes, but Condoy-
annis tore the cloth away saying he
would give the order to fire himself.
At this point he began to make a

The adoption of the Indiana law

closing a check. to the young woman.
finally concluded that so refined look
ing a person would need some prepara-
ton for the reception of such payment.
| therefore wrote note telling how
had conceived the painting OF a pic
ture of peace, how / had found a
model in her and how | had produced
a successful work, which / could not
have produced without taking advan-
tage Of her presence at window op-
posite mine / deemed it proper that
she should derive some benefit from
my success and humbly asked permis-
sion to send her check.
I had written this note in my room
while my model of peace" had been
sitting in her accustomed seat in her
window and was taking up my hat to
go out and around the block 10 leave
it at her door, for l did not know her
name, when I saw approaching from
the rear of the room in which she sat
the figure of another girl about her
own age. Then I heard the one who
had newly entered say;
Maria, what did you mean last
night by taking Johnny Doyle away
from me"
what did you mean by taking Billy
bunker away from meT'
II didn'tr'
you didr'
The voices were both shrill, but that
of my model was the shriller. I will
not attempt to give the anathemas
hurled upon each other by the two
girls in the space Of few moments.
They soon began to claw each other
and my peace model caught her enc
my by the hair and was yanking her
around in circles when, horror strtck-
| en-, covered my face with my hands
that I might see no more Of the fracas
and ran out of the room, closing the
door behind me to shut out the shriIl
sounds.
Since that day I see my picture Of
peace through different eyes than be-
fore. Instead of being Madonna
she Is a virago. On that account
seldom look at her. As to the model
the morning after my disilfusion she
appeared again at her window, her
Madonna-hke face covered with
scratches I met her in the street one
day, and I was surprised at differ
ence there was in it from that which
had appeared while she sat in the win
dow. What caused this difference? I
| don't know. 1t may have been that
| the light of the room was softer than
that Of the street. But why had the
single critic I have mentioned caught
the real expression? give it up.
The check I drew to send my model

Of the great war.
