often laughs to this day at what used
to be one of her fathers pet Jokes.
to the effect that IL Ruth had been a
man, and had had to choose career,
he would have been seriously worried
lest she would insist on being
jockey-so fond was she of a good
horse, and SO given, as a youngster,
to haunting the stables.
Not In q long time has Washington,
COMMONLY pretty blase about such
matters. taken so keen interest in a
states senatorial contest. and In the
fortunes of a particular spirant, as
it Is displaying In the MI higan fight
and the aspirations of Henry Ford.
Times have changed, since Senators
are chosen by a popular vote. Not so
long ago the multi-millionaires were
Senatorial candidates quite as a mat
ter of course; they could afford tcgas
cut to fit, and some of them came at
fancy figures.
regime. that a bonanza king had a
Senatorial nomination forced On him.
The rule was that he paid his way
all along. For a state to reverse that
rule. and make the effort TO draft a
very rich man, gives an inkling of the
new possibilities of political prefer
ment that await the new kind OF mil
lionaire.
There Is no doubt that the popular
imagination regards Henry Ford as
rich man of a new kind. People
wouldn't agree what 1t Is that ne has
done that marks his as of a different
sort; but there's no doubt he Ia so
regarded. In the popular mind he Is
still distinctively a man of the people
in spite of having all that money. We
are told In Washington that last year
he paid more income tax than any
body else except Mr.. Rockefeller, and
that he is close to the billionaire class
But the more money he gets the more
people seem to like him, apparently
because they have become convinced
that he is giving them a good division
OF IT,
1t was not always thus. Time was,
and not so long ago. when Mr.. Ford
will yet have forgotten the discom-
forts of being unpopular, when he
was everything from q butt for the
paragraphers to an amateur publicist
messing in things he didn't know
about. The Peace Ship incident made
him rather more than an information
al joke. Abroad. he fell into sadder
dlsrepute than here; in England there
were serious efforts to boycott the

Mrs. McCormick was Ruth Hanna,
daughter Of Senator Mark Hanna of
Ohio. a power in the Mckinley regime,
in fact the power OF the Mckinley re-
gime. She was brought up in WASH
ington. and met and knew her hus-

She 10 absolutely devoted to him. and
handles him beautifully. Their home
in Washington Is the scene Of some of
the most genuine and enjoyable hos
pitality of any In the national capital.
They don't go in for functions. Mrs.
Mccormick has gladly seized on war
conditions" as a reason for dispensing
with them. but as q matter of fact
they don't appeal to her anyhow.
They entertain constantly with abso-
lutte disregard for who's who. so long
as they like them.
Mrs. Mccormick and the two chill
dren have been out on their Illionis
farm for some time-the little boy.

father, named for the latter's grand
father, the founder of the Chicago

name I never can remember, because
that family has the habit of calling
its girls Sister" Thus Eleanor Pat

Gizycka-is most frequently Sister" "
to her mother. brother and cousins.
And her little daughter, Felicia
Gizycka is in turn Sister to all her
Immediate kin. And her little cousin,
the Medill McCormicks' little daughter

farm, by the way. that Sister was

to provide the substantial wherewithal
to win the war for civilization.
And wherever two or three British
ers meet together to consider such
things, the name for Ford appears
early In their converse. They have
all heard of him; they have an ex-
aggerated notion of his wealth and
philanthropies and social interests;
they have completely forgiven the in

on him as one of the men who are
going to mobilize the world and show

guess they are pretty nearly right,
too.

a dog.
The thread of it runs from the
white silence Of the Arctic to the
horrid din of the battle front.
And its glory shines in the

flag" that hangs over the kennel
of old Baldy in Berkeley. CAL
old Baldy of Nome!
Twenty-six shaggy sons of this
famous Northland dog are today
in war service for the American
and allied armies in France.
They are there because
Baldy, through battle and
march and the hard testings of
a harsh land, had eleansed his
good red blood of the last
vestige of the wolfish yellow.
If the good that men do
live after them, just so surely
the courage and faithfulness
of dogs persist in their sons
whose destiny it is to serve
men.
Baldy, Of course, can't be ex-
pected to know much about such
distractions Sufficient for him is
the pat of approval-the knight
hood of his kind-which he has so
richly earned.

ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN COM.
ING
From the Texarkanian

From the Texarkanian.
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, on matter what
the results Of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there win pc an
other Liberty loan. To use his ex-
preston, ~We are going to have to
finance peace for while just as we
have had to finance war"
There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad. If we trans
port these men back to the United
States at the rate of 100000 a
month il will be over half year be-
fore they are all returned. Our
army, therefore must be maintained,
victualed and clothed for many
months after peace is an actuality.
The American people therefore
having supported the Liberty loan
with a patriotism that future histo-
rians win love to extol, will have an
opportunity to show the same pa.ri-
otism in financing the just and con-
elusive victorious peace whenever it
comes.
Not for a moment. however, is the
treasury acting on an assumption
that peace is to come soon. Until
peace is actually assured the atti-
tude of the treasury and the attitude
of the whole United States govern
ment is for the most vigorous prose-
cution Of the war, and the motto of
force against Germany without stin.
or limit will be acted upon until
peace is an absolute accomplished
