MARKET AND REAL ESTATE REVIEW

ing for a fall There is no question whatever about public opinion being overwhelmed against extreme de- mandS. These facts doubtless have much to do with current belief that the threatened strikes if they ma terialize will prove failures. At this writing, the outlook happens to be more assuring, and labor leaders are evidently moving cautiously, fully aware that the public is weary of strikes. Apparently a more conser- Native policy is in prospect, especially since the return of President Gompers from Europe, who though aggressive on the side of labor, is not only op- posed to the socialistic element, but is also too shrewd to go so far in his demands as to invite failure. Out of the present crisis better and more satisfactory methods of settling labor disputes should arise. There is no reason why such questions should not be subjected to negotiation, just the same as any other business transac- ton. Discussion, arbitration or ap- peal to the courts, should take the place of such barbarous methods as intimidation, strikes. lockouts and force. -sharing representation in management and other panaceas have their advantages and disad- vantages; but no peace on either side is possible until both parties are pre- pared 10 meet on the basis of the square deal and mutual consideration, or live and let live.
 \ Good Business Outlook.
 Business conditions, generally speaking, are hopeful Should labor settle down to a more normal attitude improvement may be expected for the reason that many enterprises and en- Engagements are still pigeOnholed awaiting more stable conditions. The American harvest is progressing, and while our yield of wheat is below early expectations it is much above the average and will be highly profit able in the aggregate. The corn crop will also be large at very high prices. Cotton is a short crop, but a good surplus is left from last year and growers of this staple are also mak- ing good money. As a whole the farm ing classes are exceptionally prosper OuS. So, too. are the industrial and mercantile classes. The high cost of living question, which is chiefly felt in the cities, seems to be near the dpSA anu d tulll uOWu u"d&u SllOullI not be far distant. Agitation in the press and government activities, though certainly preventing profiteer- ing, are not much of a success thus far in lowering prices, which can be accom- plished only by consistently in Creasing the product. The latter will be a slow process, for no government, however powerful, can permanently defy the laws of nature, especially that of supply and demand. The monetary situation is fairly satisfac- tory, though the loss in bank reserves last week produced a temporary furry in rates. The position of government finances is steadily improving, owing 10 the large curtailment of expendi- ture. Tn this direction there is room for much further progress. and it is just as urgent for the government to econOmize as for individuals, since eX- cessivc taxation is still sapping the life of business.

TEXAS SIXTEENTH
FULESUFFRAGESFATE
Is Also First Real Southern
State to Give Women
the Ballot.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Comment-
Ing on the Texas victory, Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
lional American Woman Suffrage AS
ISOLATION. said:
I'm some respects the Texas victory
is the greatest state victory that suf-
lrage has ever scored.
For one thing, Texas is the first
state In the far south to give women
full suffrage; 1t is the largest state in
area; IL had the shortest pre-cam-
paign period of preparation; 1t met
with the bitterest opposition. Led
by an impeached ex-governor of Texas
he ants fairly outdid themselves in
vicious vituperation. So raw, SO crude
we're they, that the Texas press re-
peatedly administered scathing re-
Dukes during the campaign, and the
Texas lower house one day, finding
the anti-suffrage brand of matter on
the desks of members, voted over
whelmingly in condemnation of such
campaign literature.
I'm point Of area Texas( It will be
remembered; has 265,S96 square
miles This means that you could pick
Up the 243,327 square miles Of Great
Britain, Belgium, Continental Italy,
snd put them down in Texas with
nice wide fringe Of 22,569 miles hang
ing over, enough to let European Tur-
key. Montenegro and Alsace-Lorraine
rattle around in.
I'm point OF the number Of women
snfrancfiised. the Texas victory is also
pne OF OF the greatest. the total num-
Der OF women in Texas over voting

STANDARD FOUR AND KEoKUK.

| Keokuk takes pride in the Standard -Four
Tire company. The institution is child OF it's
progressive spirit and it's advance along the
path of prosperity has been watched with a
feeling of paternal interest and constantly
growing belief that it will become IN time a
worthy otfshoot of its parent stock. But this
!parental appreciation on the part OF the mass OF
the citizens who compose our municipality is
ipierced by the fact that others have come IN and
have set up barrier between the Standard
-Four and those who gave it life.
The Standard Four Tire company is a Keo-
kuk institution; the first thought of it original
led here; it was financed largely through the eff
forts of our people and the site for the factory
was donated by the Keokuk Industrial associa-
ton. Keokuk sought out men well versed in
practical tire making and placed in their hands
the early fortunes Of the young industry, which
has been successful beyond expectations. But
gradually representation of Keokuk interests
has been set aside until they are today without
voice in the board Of directors of the corpor-
alton. This is not as it should be. 1t is not as
was agreed upon at that large and enthusiastic
stockholders meeting held in this city some
months ago when the validity of Keokuk S
interests was admitted in an offer to place
two men of Keokuk on the board OF directors
of the company. Notwithstanding this under
taking, process of elimination has been pur
sued and, as stated, men who represent the in
terests of Keolzuk are voiceless today in the
management of the Standard -Four.
Keokuk IS pride is hurt because Of this dis
elimination. While it rejoices in the good for
tune that has come to the business venture;
while it would go to lengths in forwarding its
interests, and, while it wishes President Gabe-
line and his official associates the largest meas
ure of success, it feels that it has been unduly
sighted by this recent refusal of representation

FACTS AND FLIvvERs.

Ottumwa Courier: If Henry Ford's
testimony in his million dollar libel
suit against the Chicago Tribune
serves no other purpose, it will at
least convince a great many persons
who read it that Mr.. Ford's dislike tcr
history and other sorts of general in
formation are not responsible for the
prosperity and success he has en-
joyed His assertion that "all his
tory Is bunk" and his blithe admis-
sion that he knows nothing about the
country's past do not prove that the
boy who refuses to study will grow to
be a multi-millionaire and manu-
facturer of submarine chasers.
Mr.. Ford defined an idealist as "a
man who helps others to make
money" and he said the lack Of pro-
hibition in Germany was one OF the
causes of the war because indulgence
in drink made the Germans suspi-
cious of one another. These remarks
remind us of nothing SO much as the
old game of cross questions and silly
answers; in fact, much Of Mr.. Ford's
examination by the Tribunes attor-
ney falls into the same class. He re.
veals remarkable ignorance on
points Of ordinary, every day informa-
ton, and his expressed contempt for
ordered thought is not proper defense
Of his ignorance.
II could hire man to tell me all
that in five minutes he declared the
other day when the attorney for his
critics brought out Mr.. Ford's ignor.
ance of ordinary facts in American
history which are known to every
school boy. His contention Is true, Of
course, but it does not follow that he
could help intelligently TO frame legis-
lation for the American government
on the basis of this purchased infor-
nation. And yet Mr.. Ford desired to
be senator Of the United States. He
desired it, he said, merely because
President Wilson besought him to be
candidate. 1t is not his ignorance
that should disqualify him, so much as
his boasts that ignorance is superior
to information. That is an indefensible
theory.
Mr.. Ford Is a specialist on gasoline
engines and systematic organization
OF a manufacturing plant. That is his
sphere. But he should stick to 1t and
leave to men with knowledge Of gov
ernmental affairs the task of making
laws. In the field of practical activity
with which he Is acquainted he has
accomplished much But as an ideal
list outside that field he has yet to
score his first success and count his
first justification.
As a senator, we fear, Mr.. Ford
would be f1ivver.

A STUDY IN HUMAN NATURE.

Henry Ford admitted, but later qualified the
admission, while testifying in his own behalf
in his milion-dollar libel suit against the Chi
cago Tribune, that he is an Ignorant idealist. -
He is not ignorant of everything, he says,
though possibly of good many things; but he
confessed that he has no knowledge of history
and attaches no Importance to 1t and is not IN
the least interested in music or other arts. He
gave the date of the war of the revolution as
1872, and frankly stated that he did not know
why the war Of 1912 was fought. Questioned
about his statement in peace pamphlets that
..war is murder and that advocates of war are
murderers'' he admitted that he considered
professional soldiers-those who made their liv-
ing by it--murderers, and included in this cate
CORY Pershing, Sherman and Grant. He pro-
duced the flag of humanity with it's red,
white and gold globe on field Of blue. This
was the baner which he was going to fly upon
his factory after the war; but he did not now
admit that he liked it better than the Stars and
Stripes SIT is different kind of flag was
all that he would say As to preparedness, he
admitted his opposition to any degree Of pre-
paredness in 1915, but he had changed his mind
and believed in preparedness now.
This self-revelation of Mr. Ford is not with
ont interest to students of human nature and
shows how one-sided the development Of not
able persons may be. Eminently successful in
one line of effort, he is almost child-minded in
other things. He is of one interest, one
activity. He is less well rounded than most
men of prominence are; yet his extraordinary
achievements in his particular line of work had
blinded him to his deficiencies in other respects
and led him to put forward with confidence his
ideas upon matters of which he was wholly I'M
Informed. He is quoted as considering history
Chunk idle traditions of no value and with
no lessons to teach. In this he is no doubt
honest for he does not see that evolution is a
continuing process and that only by examining
the path humanity has trod is it possible to
reach true conclusions as to the path ahead
Literature, the record of the past, the printed
page-unless it is blue print nothing to
him. He has not needed them in his business
and does not see that the world does Yet he
