Makers of History

The three great in the United States his
tory-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and
Abraham Lincoln-who were practically the makers
of this great nation of the people, dedicated to the
people, by the people and for the people, by their
mental work and leadership gave us our fine repub-
lie.
All that can be said of either of these men, who
great in the eyes of the English speaking world
can be said of the others. Thomas Jefferson with
his constructive ability and his great mental facul
ties made it possible. by the declaration of Indepen
dence, for George Washington to be the hero of
the American Independence the battle field in
stead of fighting merely for rights of English Colon
lists Washington is the outstanding American hero
of war and peace; while Lincoln and Jefferson
put down in history great statesmen and leaders,
These three great equally developed

Two years ago Louis Enrlcht of Long
Island announced that he had discov-
cred a substitute for gasoline which
would cost less than two cents a gallon.
and there were reports of tests that
bore out his claim. Since then nothing
has been heard by the public of this in
Vention. Now comes a report that En-.
i1clt has been made defendant i'm suit
IN which it is charged that he has en-
tered into an agreement with the Ger
man government to withhold all knowl.
edge of his formula from anyone in the
United States for a period Of the war.
The complainant is the National Motor
Power company, a Delaware corpora.
ton represented by H. r. Yoakum as
trustee. With Enrcht as defendants are
named several members Of his family
and the First National Bank OF Farm
ingdaie, which is alleged to have in its
possession strons box containing Eu
RIGHTS formula. The court has issued
an order restraining Enricht or any of
the defendants named with him from
disposing of his formula TO anyone other
than the complainant or of commune
eating its contents to anyone else. This
IS interesting from several points. the
fact that the company headed by as big
business man as Is. f.. Yoakum has
faith in the invention gives it standing
According to the papers filed Enricht
was at one time willing TO sell his in.
vention to Germany, but as late as two
weeks ago agreed to allow ii to be sold
to this government for $500,0 cash
and a royalty of $4,000 000 a year for
fifteen years on condition that the al
lies Of the United States should not
share in the secret. This indicates that
our government, too, puts sufficient
value upon the invention to negotiate
for the possession of the formula The
desire of the German government to
have il may be regarded as belief of its
value in that quarter The common
conclusion is that if all this is based
upon facts the day of high-priced gaso-
line is nearing its close, and this is the
most interesting part of all to the
public.
