DECISION RESTS WITH PEOPLE.

It has been reported by newspapers tnat
Henry Ford wanted no profit from any OF MS
great factories while was on. This IS a
fine spirit, but in view of the great services
which his shops are rendering to the Govern
ment it must be regarded as fortunate that ne
has made large profits in the past. One is moved
to ask at what stage in his wonderful career II
would have ben advantageous to the pubic TO
have had his profits or his enterprise aroltrarliy
curtailed.
And the same applies to every great indus
trial undertaking in America, mines oil, electrl-
cal development, transportation, telephone and
telegraph, agriculture, numbering, insurance, etc.
If all these great industries had not been
brought to high state of efficiency by private
initiative and capital and allowed to make good
profits with which to develop and expand, where
would our government have ben when the cricls
came with Germany?
American ingenuity enterprise and industry
made it possible to equip an army and lick the
Huns in record-breakng time.
And now we have certain class of polti-
clans who say, "private profits must stop. Let
the government take over one big industry after
another, the United States Constitution was al
right once but we need something else'now," etc.
America faces the problem Of how to prevent
officialism from smothering Americanism.
The decision will rest with the people.

about maintaining present high wages, and
hoped that market conditions and demands would
enable them to pay the present scale

OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS.

What is going to happen to the ndustrlai
situation in the country now that the Waf Is
over?
This question is naturally in the mlnds Oh
every business man large or small throughout
the country There is some diversity OF opinion
as to the future but the drift, as we observe It,
east and west, is that period OF great prosper
ity lies lust ahead provided there are no unto
ward unheayals and no unexpected interrupt
tionS.
A man of sound judgment is Mr.. Thomas Il.
Edison who has his hand closely on the business
pulse of the nation. Wha the believes is there
fore of unusual interest.
In statement to the Associated Press MI.
Edison says:
with the coming of peace a great era
of prosperity is at hand if the business men
of the nation will proceed with confidence
in the future The surest way to bring on
depression of business is to nurture fears
and act hesitatngly he said 1--WE now
have anational financial system which is
capable of meeting practically any situation
that can arise, and we do not need to lear
difficulties from that quarter
"Our farmers have harvested an enorm-
Gus crop and the assurance OF good prices,
together with more plenty labor make GER
tain heavy planting next year.
Mr.. Edison, who announced that ne eX-
pected "to be mustered out of Uncle Sans
service before long ended with an appeal
for business men to 'speed up their sales
organizations.

during the war" he said, "but his time has
now come. Give him chance"

some trouble to explain awy the statements Of
