CORRESPONDENTS WITH FORD

VEGETARIAN HOTEL IN HAGUE

special train routed thru Germany
conveyed the party 10 The Hague.
Trsinloads OF soldiers bound for
the front were passed by the peace
advocates during the Journey. Red
Cross attaches were also seen on
the way 10 the war zone. Silent
crowds thronged the platforms of
tho larger stations en- route and
gszed at the party.
The entire trip In German terri.
tory was made after dark. At one
station young German officer
DOTTED his helmet and wished sue.
cess to the party.
BY special permission OF the gov.
eminent, the blinds in the coaches
which carried the party were rails
ed in order that the members could
obtain as good a view as possible
OF the country.
Signs In the cars told them TO
psrtske sparingly OF food and pre-
pare for an emergency in crossing
bridges, as many attempts had
been made TO blow up bridges and
wreck trains in the territory thru
which the party travelled.
One dining car was provided for
the 200 persons on the train.

A SORRY CONFESSION

SST HAVE been voter for 81 years" says Henry
Ford, "and in all that time have voted only
six times and then because my wife made me-"
II is shameful confession for a professed
patriot and lover OF men, and, incidentally ii is
mighty argument for female suffrage What
right has such man to talk about the danger OF
national preparedness and the getting OF men out of
the trenches' He fails to perform his highest duty
as an American and that failure is not atoned for
by the fact that he pays for industrial justice in
good wages to his employees.
Donated justice is one thing Justice estab-
iished by government is quite another. No sort
Of general justice is possible that depends upon the
financial circumstances of individuals.
Mr.. Ford has given some strong proof of his
belief in industrial justice and failed to take the
right way to reach 1t. His way is to give. The right
way Is to secure II as matter of principle and good
government.
1t would be mighty interesting to know how
Mrs. Ford made Henry vote those six times In
81 years.

Amusing" would be the right word for it,
Americans cannot work up much pleasure or feel
ing OF being honored by the gift of title TO a fellow
who expatriated himself and who gets the title
simply because he is very rich. The American sem
timent is pretty much what il would be had William

what effect Astor's elevation" has on British titled

REPUBLICANS UNITING.

Both the Democrats and the Repub-
Leans at this distance are being sur
prised at the rapid getting together
of the leaders of the two wings OF
the Republican party. This has been
anticipated by many, but it was
thought that the time would hardly
be before the two conventions met in
Chicago on June 10. 1t seems now
that such men as Senator Smoot of
Utah, Lodge and Gardner of New
England and Elihu Root of New York
have invited Roosevelt into their
camp for a conference. Just what
will be the outcome of this it is not
safe to predict, but it is safe to pre-
dict that the Republicans will enter
upon the 1916 national campaign a
united party with the idea of win
ming an easy victory.
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-04-10
EVENTS OF 1916.

Murray Nelson, SO, one of the
founders of the Republican party and
friend of Abraham Lincoln, COM
pares the Mexican crisis of today
with the events of 1916, when the
United States marched an army into
Mexico City to settle the boundary
dispute.
Mr.. Nelson says: "When the news
that war had been declared against
Mexico reached the little town OF
Fulton, N. ", where | lived, they
had the band out, and the boys parad-
ed thru the streets with their rifles.
We had mass meetings and speeches
on the corners. In those days pretty
nearly every boy was good rifle
shot"
When asked to say why the feel
ing was more intense at that time,
Mr.. Nelson was at loss to explain.
"The people We're more loyal to the
government, someway, than they are
now," he declared.
There is possible explanation in
the fact that the war of 1912 was
still fresh in the memories of the
older residents. The spirit that fol-
lowed the revolutionary war had not
yet died out. The men of 1S46 re-
allied their duty to their country.
Then sensed danger from afar with
wonderful acuteness and hestated
not n minute to ward it off. They
were as reluctant as the people of
1916 to have war, but they realized
that dread of war is not to be con-
sidered when a nations integrity is
at stake.
Doubtless the good citizens of Full
ton today. are as little perturbed AS
the average community outside Of
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. In.

GOOD COMMON SENSE.

A few of the newspapers of the
country gave some advertising to
General Fred Funston because he did
not allow the papers of the country
to publish the events concerning the
whereabouts of the American army
and the bandits of Villa.
Had Funston or any other general
failed to do this most rational thing
he would be put down in the eyes
of this nation and the eyes of all
capable of realizing the very first
principles of business.
Think for a moment of business
man in the United States consum-
mating business deal with bust
ness man in Mexico, and during the
time of making the deal, giving out
in detail the news of his business
transaction to the world before the
business had been completed fully.
What would the business world think
of such a man? How many persons
in life make a success who transact
their business in that senseless way I?
1t is only good common sense to
do things in business way and the
bigger the business the more care
fully should the details of the busi-
ness be kept from the careless and
the unconcerned. Just to think that
an American general would be ex-
pected to give out to the public the
movements of his army, the details
of his campaign, that his enemy may
profit while the curious may be sat
jsfied.

KNoCKER, BOOSTER, WHICH?

In the very beginning of time when
the Creator of the Universe had
manufactured the many good things
he would have in the world he found
that there was yet little dirty work
to be done. He had some scraps
that must be used somewhere. He
had already made the reptile, the
poisonous insect, the rattle snake, the
hyena, the scorpion and the skunk.
What was He to do with these sur
plus scraps. Now if we are to believe
the story as we get it from our fore
fathers, we find that he took all these
old scraps, covering them with sus-
picion, wrapping the bundle with a
covering of jealousy and drawing
across the thing long yellow streak
He finally wrote upon it the word
KNOCKER.
But this was most fearful to be-
hold and something must be made to
'counteract the awfulness of it, so the
Creator took sunbeam and put in
it the heart of child, the brain of
man, wrapped these in civic pride,
covered it with brotherly love, gave
it a mask of velvet and grasp OF
steel, made it lover of fine lawns,
gardens and fields, believer in man
ly sports, equality and justice and
then wrote upon it in large letters,
the word BOOSTER.

We are inclined to believe that
down in San Juan county they have
live bunch of men. If we are to
judge by the advertising in the Az

conclude that those fellows down
there who want an office are not
afraid to make their wants known by
means of the press. There are can
didates by the dozens apparently an

they feel that they have right to
