WELL. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HENRY,

President Wilson, according to news
dispatches. has gone on record as ia
vor!ng an umpire in the big game al
ways on between employer and en-
ployes as to wage scales and working
conditions. He favors a final decision
by an umpire by which not only the
employer and employee but the joint
chairnen of the war labor board must
abide.
Commenting upon this the New
York Times approves Henry Ford as
chief umpire. Mr.. Ford, it suggests,
should be more acceptable to labor
than to capital as MIR. Ford and his
minimum wage have been made a
standard OF complete labor approval
Yet it points out that Mr.. Ford is rum
ming an open shop in Detroit and that
he is now conducting a lockout from
his plant on the Canada side. The
Canadians demanded more pay and
recognition of the union. Mr.. Ford re-
fused both. And Mr.. Ford is the first
umpire nominated by the president.
However, neither employees nor en-
ployers seem able to bring reasonable
objection 10 him. Ford is an advocate
OF high wages so ne fits into the en-
ploye's mind as acceptable so far. He
refuses in a time of great scarcity Of
labor TO confine labor to a union card.
So the employer whose object is to get
work done and to keep his force at full
strength can't kick too hard on the
appointment tho he may have con-
sidered Ford an iconoclast and an IN
novator likely to embarrass the whole
labor situation in peace. If there is to
be an umpire absolute as the enc CT
the baseball diamond, why isn't Ford
as good as may be had?
Ford as manufacturer and umpire in
labor difficulties, can be Of great serv-
ice to the country. Just what service
he might render as senator from Mich
igan, except to vote as President Will
son might command" him, is not so
evident. Perhaps it would be much a
better plan to keep him making thinks
and making peace between labor dis
putants.
At any rate and under the circum-
stances some middle ground must be
found between organized and morgan
lied labor and organized employment.
The strike must be suspended during
the war. Settlement must be made an
other and less wasteful way. And
speaking Of uulpires what's the matter
with Henry?

Mr.. Hoover has given to the senate
and to the nation a very clear anc
businesslike explanation OF the neet
for high prices and large profits in
war times and for tax on war profits
to equalize the effects Of price regula-
tons
The public has wondered why every
government regulated price should be
so much higher than pre-war prices.
When wheat was regulated 1t was al
double its price in pre-war times II
has been the same with The price of
sugar. of coal. copper, steel and
iron. The shortage due TO war demand
or conditions would have shot prices
still higher IL not regulated but the
public has wondered why the govern
ment could not regulate prices down
to pre-war figures so long as it has
the power to fix prices at its will. Mr..
Hoover has explained that higher
prices than pre-war schedules are
needed to increase production.
Where war shuts off former sources
of supply because of the lack of ship
ping or increases the demand because
shortage in a commodity exists which
must be supplied by increased produc-
ton. In every line there are producers
who can and do produce at profit
during peace times and then there are
producers. mines, farms and factories
which can produce greatly increased
supplies but only at higher costs. In
order to put them TO work and actually
increase production for war needs an
abnormally high price must be fixed
for them. Then it is that the former
low cost producers reap their harvest.
Having obtained the increased pro-
duction by high prices Mr.. Hoover
would have congress levy stiff war
tax on all profits that are in excess OF
pre-war times In this way would the
consumer pay the tax in higher prices
for increased production but the gov
eminent would get most Of the war
profit made possible by price fixing
1t is simple and practicable sus-
gestion and has long been in operation
in England. The Britishsgovernment

prices and takes 50 per cent of all alb
normal war prifits in the form Of
war tax. We need a practical man like

to do? Nothing simpler than to point
this out; but doing it-well, there Is
where our opportunity for little
sacrifice comes in. We must simply eat
less wheat. What we do not eat can
90 to France and the other allies. In
the next three months. that Is, until
the next harvest, we should restrict
our eating of wheat-not OF cereals
generally, but just Of wheat-to one

A few days after the two little rab-
| bits had escaped from the wicked wolf
| as l told you in the last story, Billy
Bunny was hopping thru the Pleasant
Meadow, clipperty clip. lipperty, lip
| and by and by he came to the orchard
And right beside Old Snake Fence was
great big cherry tree just loaded
down with nice ripe fruit.
"oh. dear me-" said the little rabbit,
81 wish l could climb tree Hike SOUR
rel Nutcracker. I'd get some Of those
| lovely cherries to eat and some to
pie With"
Whats that you said?" asked
voice close at hand, and when the little
rabbit turned around he saw his OLD
friend, the Circus Elephant.
Let me pick some for you" said
that kind big beast, and he reached up
into the tree with his long trunk. and
before long he had picked maybe q
bushel of cherries. Wasn't that kind on
him?
So the little rabbit flied his KNAPP
sack and his pockets. and even his
little khaki soldier cap. and after that
ne climbed up on the elephants back
| but OF course the elephant helped him
up with his trunk and then they
started. home for the Old Brier Patch.
Well, sir. AS soon as Mrs. Bunny. who
was sitting on her front porch mend
ing holes in Billy Bunny's stockings
saw all those cherries she was as
happy as a clam at high tide, and she
started right away to make some
cherry pies.

took Off mis- little hat and bowed to

very easy for an elephant, you know.

4 TYPE AND A LEADER.

When Quentin Roosevelt went down
it was simply another American boy
paying the ultimate debt American
boys so bravely acknowledge. Quentin
was no Drawer than other boys who
have fallen. his sacrifice no greater
than that Of the humblest And his
father and mother. stricken as all and
any OF US may be stricken by the
fateful telegram were and are plain
Americans suffering like other fathers
and mothers have suffered and must
suffer for the integrity Of human
liberty upon the face of the earth.
But Quentin was a type of American
youth and his parents the high type Of
American parents. Sturdy old Theo-
dore Roosevelt received the news as he
would take a wound in battle; and
when the first sharp shock had passed
gathered his strength and went on.
"Quentin's mother and I are very glad
that he got to the front and had a
chance TO render some service to his
country and to show the stuff that was
in him before his fate befell him." said
Roosevelt. And he announced that be
would make the speech for which he
was scheduled Roosevelt's brave son
was not Drawer than the father and
mother that bred him and from the
agony Of grief that possessed them sent
out to the American people their
acceptance Of the final duty Of. sons
and parents.
THE stuff that was In him" said
Theodore Roosevelt. That is a typical
Roosevelt expression. 1t is the stuff
that is in the American youth who ac-
cepts his duty and stands to pay Ills
debt. And in no other American fam
fly Is more Of that STUFF than the
Theodore Rooseyelts
If there be those who have sneered
at Roosevelt and his family let them
ask pardon Of their own Amerlcanism.
The Roosevelts are as typical of the
best Americanisn az the flag itself for
whenever that flag Is unfurled in battle
the Roosevelt family stands beside.
Not In the safety Of swivel chairs but
in the bloody van. Types, not only Of
American courage but Of American
! democracy. The Roosevelt boys won
their spurs before they wore them.
And they used them to hasten their
advent into the front lines. Doing so
they typify the spirit Of the boys in
khaki whether they wear shoulder
| straps or carry rifles. The sympathy
of a continent goes out to Roosevelt
and his wife and with it the deep re-
spect and admiration men feel for
courage and high patriotism. The
same sympathy goes out to all fathers
and mothers whose sons have fallen
and may fall as Quentin Roosevelt fell
in defense OF the idea Of freedom A
fit leader of democracy like ours is
that first American citizen Theodore
Roosevelt. - f---------.-.
