THE MAN WITHOUT
A COUNTRY.

One of Henry Ford's managers an
nounces: eve would be sorry to sec
any of our men resign to enlist IN the
Guard, but both recruits and State
militiamen will be treated alike-as
though they quit the plant to engage
in other lines of business.
The Philadelphia Record calls at
tention to the fact that the southern
border of the United States has been
repeatedly invaded in the last nine
months. The de facto Government
of Mexico is unable or unwilling to
prevent this. The United States has
had send roops inc Mexico to
punish the marauders. The de facto
Government is protecting the latter
and resisting our pursuit of them. A
few months ago, in full page ad-
|vertisement that Mr.. Ford's enorm-
aus profits enabled him to put into a
considerable number of papers, nc
seemed to regard this use of the army
"as a police force" as not entirely
repugnant. But now he would reg
ret to see any of his employees en-
gage in the defense of the country.
1t is not his country. He is Man
Without a Country. Nothing but the
world is big enough for his expansive
soul. The United States is no more
to him than Thibet or Mexico. Mexi-
cans can harry the southern part OF
the United States as much as they
like, so far as Henry Ford cares.
Detroit is a long way from the Rio
Grande.
Of course, no employer is obliged
to pay his men while they are serv-
ing their country, but many of them
love their country and are willing to
do it. Others will keep the places for
their men; that is, if they need to
replace the men who go to protect
the United States, they will replace
them with temporary employees, and
when their country no longer needs
them the employers will have the old
places for the men who cared enough
about their country to defend it.
But Henry Ford will do neither. If
any man leaves him to defend the
country he leaves for good and all.
Henry Ford doesn't care whether the
United States is invaded or not He
doesn't care whether it is conquered
or not. He has so prepostcrous an!
income that he has to pay unskllled
labor SIS day in order to work off
some of his surplus. But he was no
money for men who respond to the
call of the nation. What's nation to
make to him who dominates this
Henry Ford? What difference does it
nation? What is the United States,
anyway, more than Bolivia or Siam,
or any other political division on the
Gurface of the globe? The factory
1T Detroit will go on just the same.
Millions will continue to pour into
the pocket of Henry Ford without in
The nation means moth
ing to him. Patriotism is foolish
and hurtful sentiment. Let the Iexi-
cans take whatever they want Of the
United States. They can have De-
troit, for that matter. IF any emplyee
of his is foolish enough to serve his
country Henry Ford will do nothing
.for him. He is a Man Without a
Country.

Strong Democratic Testimony

The Democratic St. Louis Post Dis.
patch has been consistently fighting
the crooked Democratic gang at JET
ierson City and it isn't ior them now.
Its comments on the Democratic state
platform, just adopted, are directly and
severely denunciatory. Every good
citizen Of Missouri ought TO read them:
The buncombe Of platform rhetoric
has perhaps never had a finer illus
tralion than in some Of the insincere
claims Of The Democratic set Of formu
lated political views and principles. It
unreseUedly indorses the wise, efficient
and capable administration Of one Of
Of the cheapest and nastiest outfits Of
ststehouse ringsters that ever handicap
ped progress in Missouri or any other
State.
Particular party credit aud distinct
ion are claimed because under an auto
matte law Of many years standing the
funds for public education have shown
a slight increase, so that now they to-
tai about one-third Of what a State Of
Missouri's wealth and population ought
to devote TO this paramount purpose.
How a political crime may be
changed by platform buncombe into
political virtue is shown by the refer
ence to the porch. climbing invasion Of
the school fund. This disgracelul
plot is euphemistically termed a move
to have THE appor,ionment Of school
funds forever settled by decision OF the
Supreme Court" and is specifically in
dorsed.
This act Of political bankruptcy
was committed in secret. The public
did not find if out for several weeks.
A court test was refused for several
more weeks BY the ringsters in control
Of the machinery Of the State Govern
ment and was only resorted TO as a
means Of escape from an uprising Of
universal indignation. To point with
pride to so heavy a record Of party liza.

Willingness to Change"

Much publicity is being given By
the Democratic press to the fact that
Judge B. B. Lindsey Of Denver, form
er Democrat and Roosevelt supporter
in 1912, has announced that he will
support Woodrow Wilson. In anncunc.
ing his reasons Judge Lindsey endors-
es Wilson's willing to change from
his former position"
II the willingness to change from
former positions will be an asset in
this campaign. Woodrow Wilson will
have a walk away. Never has there
been a President who has been as un-
stable in his views as the present in.
cumbent, There is not a single i'm
portant questiod that he has not been
on both sides Of in the last few years.
No man knows today where Wilson will
stand tomorrow on any public question
II stiffness, inconsistency and ability
to straddle on both sides Of question
will appeal to the voting public, then
Woodrow Wilson will be a formidable
candidate.
