When It's Worth While

Thru his experience with an army of 10000 en-
ployes, Henry Ford has arrived at this:
Men, don't work for money alone. Ten dollars
day will not hold men in some places. The things
of life that worth while make the strongest ap-
peal to the man. Above all, he must have some
thing to hope for in the future"
Mr.. Ford has the secret of satisfied labor and, if
all the employers in the country had it, we would
have very much different and better America.
The human animal has progressed very largely
thru earnest, persistent striving for little bit
more than he already had.
The man without hope of advancement is ma
chine. He watches the clock. He does his stint,
and no more and is Indifferent to the fate of the
terprise of which his stint is part His loyalty is
measured by his obedience to rules and his contri-
button is than that of the dies cogs, rvets,
wires, gears and fuel of his shop. He has repre-
sented the status quo only, and always will He
has been the blowing by ox-power, the reaping
with the sickle, the garment made by hand-neede,
the transportation by canal. Keep him as he is,
and he will always have only what is granted him
and few of the things that make life worth while.
And, should he become the majority, should in
alenable rights and opportunities depend upon him,
human progress will cease.
OF capital and labor the latter is the greater and
its responsibility is the greater Human machine
labor, labor without aspiration for the things of
life worth while, without something better to hope
for in the future means stagnatiOn, stagnation OF
capital well as of all other elements and hence it
rs labor nslstent Obngatlon TO ght against the IN
crease of human machines.
The great war work that Mr. Fords industrial
army is performing is admirable, but, in the final
analysis it is only fundamental duty of labor. 1t
is labor's fulfment of its obligation to beat back
an autocracy which would make all laborefs but
human machines without hope of the things of life
that are worth while.
Mr. Ford is one of the greatest liberators of our
times. He is demonstrating to capitalism, by his
growing bank balances, that it is more profitable
that the wage-earner be eager for and have the
things of life that worth while All of our in
dustria problems are locked up in that PROPOSE
tion

It has become more or less popular in some pub
lcity channels controlled or influenced by Special
Interests and upon the part of some unthinking in
diyidualS to denounce the Farmers NOnpartisan
League as "prO-German, anti-American COM
bination of traitors"
This organization of farmers with a membership
of nearly 100000 in Mississippi valley and Rocky
mountain states has been accused of many un-Amer
lean things and in county it's leaders have been
indicted by county grand jury for circulating a
pamphlet which the United States postal depart
ment permitted circulation thru the mails for
months, and with which the federal department of
Justice found no fault.
The other day the Minnesota state convention of
this Nonpartisan league was held. Included in it's
platform, which declares for government ownership
and operation of all public utilities, packing houses
flour mills, ETC., were these words:
I'VE pledge anew our devotion to our country in
this supreme hour of trial. We reaffm our faith
in the principles of democracy and pledge lives
our fortunes and sacred honor to the struggle
to free the world from autocracy and establish
democracy, political and industrial, among the
peoples of the earth.
1--WE declare it to be our solemn conviction that
the German military autocracy, revealed in all its
horror by the ruthless rape of Russia, is menace
to the world. We pledge our unqualified support to-
our government in the war to free the world from
this menace.
I'VE endorse intellectually the statement of
war aims by the president of the United States.
We believe that he has stated clearly and unequivo
caly the real intent in the hearts of the American
people and that this statement forms sure basis
for lasting and democratic peace"
If this be treason, doubtless Patrick Henry would
say if he writing this, "make the most of it''
It doesn't look like treason; it doesn't sound like
pro Germanism; it doesn't sound like anti Ameri-
canism.

TAKING THE NEWS 10 MRS.
TRENT

IAhING IHB NEWS NJ Mlk6.
TRENT
An at once I knew Mr. Trent
was going to die, and all at once
l understood that his life had
been a great disappointment and
failure.
In that moment l knew that
men as well as women reach out
for sympathy, and while there is
almost always some good woman
to give 1t to them, once in a while
a man goes to the end of the road
who has never had the comfort
and satisfaction OF knowing what
a JOY there Is in perfect under
standing.
Little book. there are many
compensations for being only q
few leaves of blank paper. You
can never feel that terrible sink
ing Of the heart that comes when
you see someone you love lying
on the hospital cot and being
wheeled ost Of your sight maybe
forever.
OF course I could not feel the
love for Mr.. Trent that I might
have felt had / really known him
better, but in my heart was an in
expreesible pity and I had to turn
away SO that he would not see
my tears. Mollie, brave soul,
,altho she felt quite as moved as
l, walked beside him to the door
OF the operating room and called
good luck"
"Mollie, dear, you are the brav-
est and sweetest, and most depend
able woman l know" I whispered.
She only squeezed my hand, for
then there was no need of keeping
back the tears as Mr.. Trent was
not there to see.
Mr.. Trent never came out
from the anaesthetic. The doc
tons of whom DR.. Virot was one,
told us that II was a miracle he
had lived as long as he had.
They did not attempt to oper-
ate when they saw his condition
and he was soon sent back to his
room and within a half hour he
ceased to breathe.
When 1t was all over, we look
ed at each other in CONSERVATION
for we thought of what was be-

Both Chad and I protested that
we would see 1t thru IL Mollie and
Dick wanted US to do so, and 1t
was finally decided that we should
all go together.
First Dick went to the phone
and called up his mother. 1t was

she was very short with Dick for

Many interesting sidelights ON

But he doesn't gfvo me any

which I bought few presents

saved the rest. He hasn't given
