FORD MAKES SORRY SHOWING
ON WITNESS STAND.

The fame of Henry Ford would
probably have Jared better If he had
permitted the charge made by the
Chicago Tribune to stand undisputed,
for if the Tribune succeeds in prov
ing the charge, it will be through the
testimony of Mr. Ford himself, AL
though claiming damage to his char
acter to the extent of a million dol
lars through being called an anar-
chst, he was unable to define the
word, the meaning he gave showing
that the alleged libel, as he under
stood it, was not covered in the Tri-
bune editorial His ignorance of the
meaning of words in common use. as
disclosed in his response to questions,
was simply astounding, and he was
equally ignorant of the most familiar
events in the history of our country.
While active in carrying on propa-
ganda in opposition to preparedness,
he was unable to give any definite
idea of the military or naval strength
of our country when he was most ac-
tive in opposing preparation for war,
He admitted that the literature he
was sending out in aid of the pacifists
was prepared by paid writer and
that he knew nothing about what II
contained, although it was issued in
his name. Mr. Ford appears to be a
mental freak. He is q mechanical
genius and has wonderful power Of or
ganization in Industrial lines, but he
seems to possess no aptitude whatever
to acquire general information such as
is possessed by the ordinary citizen.
Reading his testimony from day to
day on the witness stand. one can
imagine the sorry spectacle Mr.. Ford |
would have been occupying a seat in
the United States senate. Yet this is
the man that President Wilson picked |
to represent the state of Michigan in |

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Will H. Hays, who for the pas
month has been in close touch wit
republican leaders in Washington an,
elsewhere in regard to the attitud
that should be taken on the league o
nations covenant, has issued thi
statement. speaking as chairman o
the republican national committee:
'"rhe situation respecting the
league of nations is simply this:
''There must be effective reser-
vations. These reservations must
safeguard the sovereignty of the
United States in every particular;
must guarantee the Monroe Doc
trine beyond the shadow of a
doubt; must either eliminate ar
ticle 10 entirely or so modify 1t
that our own congress shall be
morally as well as legally free af-
ter a specified period to decide
when and where and to what ex-
tent our soldiers shall be employ
ed; must retain our full control of
immigration, tariff and all other
purely domestic policies, and must
provide full right to withdraw
from the league at any time with
out hindrance or conditions of any
kind, upon giving suitable notice.
ut Is UP to the administration to
decide whether it will or will not
accept these essential guarantees
of American independence, which
would unquestionably be promptly
accepted by the other nations"

ers. That this is very difficult ques-
ton is indicated by the following par
agraph in a letter to the stockholders
Of the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad
company, sent out under date Of July
2, by Daniel Willard. president:
IF federal control Of the rail-
roads is terminated on Decem-
Der 81 next, as the president has
announced, and If congress in the
meantime provides a wise and
constructive policy of regulation
for tn future, and further, If either

as may be necessary to restore
proper relation between revenue
and operating expenses, and I be-
lieve that we may reasonably ex-
pect all of these things to be done,
can see no reason why the rail-
11xy tharnhu
be placed upon a sound and self
sustaining basis, or why the Bal
timore & Ohio company in partic-
ular may not look forward with
confidence to an early restoration
of normal conditions, which
should of course be accompanied
by return Of reasonable dividend
payments to the holders Of Balti-
more & Ohio common shares"
The letter was for the purpose OF
advising stockholders that the COM
pany had suspended dividend pay,
ments on common stock and to ex-
plain the reasons why such action wa.
necessary. 1t will be observed tina
the restoration of the railroads to G
"self-sustaining basis" depends upor

means a further advance in rates tt
be paid by the public.
President willard mentions many
matters affecting the finances ant
costs of operation under government
control, but states that these "are no
referred to in criticism, but in ordel
that the facts may be made clear.
The big factor in the increased cost o
operation is labor, and on this poin
he says:
Undoubtedly much that has
been done for railroad employees
under federal control should have
been done and would have been
done if the roads had remained in
the control Of their owners, but
however that may be, the result
has been to increase largely the
cost of operating the railroads. 1t
is estimated that If the business
actually handled by the Baltimore
4 Ohio company in 1916 were to =
be handled again and under ex-
listing conditions, the amount paid
to labor would be $4,000, 100000
greater than the amount that ac-
tually was paid in 1916, or about
$12,000.0O0O more than the en-
tire net revenue from the railroad
operation of the company in that
year.
at is also estimated that be-
cause of the increased cost of Ia
Dor together with increased prices
of materials, It would cost the
Baltimore & Ohio company fully
$67.000,000 more to do the same
business of 1915 over again, than
it actually cost in 1916-an in
crease of more than 76 per cent"

 l When the war clouds appeared and l the wind and rain of war activities
 were well started off, the government was up against several important mat ters relative to securing materials Tor its use, and as a natural result large investments were made by the govern | ment, one of them the expenditures at Sheffield and Florence, Ala Where
 did this money come from. where did it
 go and for what? Is it a fact that it was a part of the funds derived from l the sale of Liberty Bonds and Wa<Sav- ings Stamps? If so, isn't it a fact that much of that money was the result of rich people. but especially the aver age poor people going without the ! absolute necessities of life and deny ing themselves of the comforts of life in order to prove their proper spirIt towards the peoples government in or der that our government might have all 1 that it needed to foster and show to the world that we were a people who loved freedom?
