Why Do We Hold
The August Fur Sale?

Ordinarily the fur business would be dull
at this time.
BY making large plans and preparing our

thousands Of dollars worth of fine furs this

basis that is not possible when the real fur
season has begun.
The advantage TO the public is obvious.

heavy advances could be expected this
autumn.

against these rising costs by making large

most inconceivable places-garrets,
,lpfts, cuddy-holes, second stories, first
floors, or what not. The manufacture
of all kinds of knit goods is special
ty in Philadelphia. Silk and cotton
hosiery, portieres, and every other
conceivable small thing, are turned
out in these little factories, many of
which have grown into big ones. The
goods from many of them are gath
cred together and sold in bulk or the
factories run on contract for firms
which want specialties of their own.
Weaving is a craze in Philadelphia
and it is taught in the public schools
of the city. The children like it and
many have become adopts at textile
work and the weaving of baskets and
bric-a-brac. In both Wilmington and
Charlotte conditions are peculiarly in
viting for the development of the
smaller industries. Store room and
loft space is abounding, electric power
is abundant and cheap, and labor of
the most intelligent and thrifty char
acter is available. 1t would be a
great day when either or both of these
towns should strike out in that di-
rectlon.-Charlotte Observer.

THE SMALL FACTORY.


The Wilmington Star elaborates on
a subject of frequent exploitation in
The Observer-the small factories in
Philadelphia and the superior ad-
vantages Charlotte offers in the way
of electric power and labor over
Philadelphia for their establishment
and operation. incidentally, The Star
tells from personal knowledge how
one of the large rug factories in
the United States got its start in
cow stable when the COW was driven
out by the enforcement of the sani-
tary laws. The rug manufacturer
told the present editor of The Star
that the family hated to give up
"Bossy," but she had to be sent away
to the rural districts. Meanwhile, he
had a couple of rug looms in the
garret and possibly one in the kitchen
and the children considered it play
to operate the looms and make rugs.
One firm took the rugs as fast as
they were made and wanted whole
carloads of them if it could get them.
AS the industry was profitable, the
cow stable was converted into a small
rug factory, and neighboring boys
and girls were employed to run the
looms. The business outgrew the
stable and in turn outgrew large brick
factories built for it at different times,
so that now it covers several blocks
and is the center of suburban town
built up around it and because of it.
The Star states the case truthfully
when it says that in Philadelphia, u.
town, down town, and in and around
town, there are small manufacturing
industries. They can be found in the

stated in the eastern papers. That
! there is to be a commission of respon-
sible men to undertake the peace sug-
gestions after the Oscar II passengers
have returned to the United States
has been carefully omitted from the
papers which exhibit such apparent
fear that Ford may bring about peace.
Of course the Ford enterprise may
be failure. Of that Mr.. Ford free
ly acknowledged cognizance before he
sailed from New York. But it is not
fair nor just nor honest to denounce it
as failure before it has failed, and it
hardly can fail until the commission
which is to operate has tried. 1t is
Mr.. Ford's purpose to have this COM
mission sit for months and even years
If that be necessary. 1t is to be a
body that will never cease to try for
peace until the peace is secured. This
was stated specifically to the eastern
papers but is ignored by them in their
attempts to rush the announcement
of Ford's failure to the world.
Again much is made of the asser-
tion that Ford has abandoned the
peace expedition. Yet the eastern
press was informed repeatedly that he
did not know whether he would go to
Europe in the first place nor whether
ne would remain long if he did 90.
There was doubt in Mr.. Fords mind as
to whether he would be of any service
in Europe
He did not believe that his personal
presence would be of aid. He finally
was persuaded to go, but if he is re-
turning now his friends who have un-
derstood his views will not interpret
that for an admission by him that his
peace plan is failure. On the con-
trary they will understand that ne can
do more on this side the ocean than on
that.
The people of the world will get
their best opportunity to judge of the
caliber of the Ford enterprise when
they learn the personnel of the real
peace commission. That has not been
announced and cannot be until the
crowd from the Oscar III has made the
rounds of the neutral countries. When
the expedition finally lands at The
Hague the composition of the com
mission will be determined. After
that, perhaps long after that, will
come the time to judge as to whether
Mr.. Ford has failed.
A little candle is as easily blown out
as little salary is blown in.
If it wasn't for our enemies life
would be awfully monotonous.
We feel sorry for some men who arc
to listen to their own talk.
Most of the socalled golden oppor-
tunities that come our way are only
plated.

HENRY FORD'S PEACE WORK.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 31.-In an
article under date of December 25, Mr..
George E. Miller, Washington CORE
spondent Of the Netroit News, calls
attention to the deliberate, concerted
effort upon the part of many big
newspapers of the country to cast
odium upon the trip of Henry Ford to
Europe in an effort for peace.
The Detroit News is one of the few
big papers in the United States that
have shown a spirit of fairness in the
matter. There is missing from the
News the spirit of malicious misrep-
resentation, coloring and deliberate
falsehood so much in evidence in GER
tain New York papers and in papers
of smaller cities that ape the big
city's news methods-all apparently
set upon determined effort to plunge
the United States into the great war,
and to discredit any effort that might
shorten the conflict. Mr.. Miller's
story tells some of the motives behind
the attacks on Mr.. Ford.
The article says: A persistent one
could say wilful msconception and
misstatement of Henry Ford's peace
expedition is carried in the press of
the east and also brought across the
ocean in the British censored cables.
Ford has deserted and the expedition
is failure, is the statement, accom-
panied with editorial comment in
which Mr.. Ford is patronizingly char
acterized as a generous soul but ig-
norant. The kindest thing some of
these publications find to say about
him is that he is a rainbow chaser
with good purpose and poor plan
for its accomplishment.
The New York papers almost With
out exception misrepresented the char
acter of the Ford enterprise from the
first. For this Mr. Ford was himself
to blame to some extent as he failed
to issue a comprehensive statement
of his plan in the beginning. News
papers disposed to be hostile towards
any step to end the war took advan-
tage of this to ridicule the expedition
and their example has been very
largely followed on both sides of the
ocean. The papers controlled by the
steel and munition interests have been
the most persistent in declining to
print the facts about the nature of
Mr.. Ford's project
Yet it would not have been difficult
for them to ascertain that this big
body of people carried abroad in the
Oscar II was not the real peace com
mission to carry out Mr.. Ford's pur-
pose. Though stated over and over
again that the ship was chartered to
attract the attention of the world to
the peace plan, and for no other pur-
pose, this fact has been sturiously ig-
nored. And because the boys did not |
jump out of the trenches the moment
the ship arrived in European waters,
the whole Ford enterprise was and is |
denounced as a farcical failure. That |
the Oscar II was the advertisement |
of what is to follow has never been
