that way When the Christ was born,
those who brought presents did SO
with a feeling Of great love and wor.

their hearts was SO great that they
had a feeling of good will toward all

thing about it is that we are not at
all surprised at this action It is
Typical of Henry Ford.
Recently we were discussing Elihu
Root with a very charming woman.
She said: "Oh, II that man would just
say a human thngl" with those few
words she demolished Elihu Roots
claim TO greatness. He lacks heart.
And lack Of heart is a fatal mental
defect
II makes little difference what the
books say about Mr. Root today or to
morrow We AN know that he will
have q bigger place in the books
than Henry Ford But Henry Ford
has q place in the lives of people that
mere intellect never can attain. And
he Will be- an intellectually greater force
