Ford Views Are Upheld
by Another Expert

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. g.
Still another expert, this time Fran
els w. Coker, professor of political
science at Ohio State University
took the witness stand in behalf OF
Henry Ford, who is suing the Chi
cago Daily Tribune for $1,000,00O
on a charge of libel.
Professor Coker said he had read
the Ford pacifist advertisements.
Humanity and Sanity" Concern
ing Preparedness" the articles OH
Mr.. Ford by Edward Marshall, Johu
Reed Willis j. Abbott and Charles
n. Wheeler, and the expert testi-
mony of Professor Reeves. Profess
sor Dunning and Bishop Williams.
Attorney Alfred Lucking, senior
counsel for Mr.. Ford, opened the
examination. Witness first took DIP
the assertion of Mr.. Ford that war
is murder" which counsel for the
Tribune contends, is anarchistic
sentiment.
TT has been so characterized by
many Others" said the witness.
Victor Hugo, Martin Luther, James
Russell Lowell, Douglass Jarrold,
Voltaire and frequently in the pro-
ceedings of peace societies." Mn
listers of the Gospel very largely re-
garded war as murder, the witness
said, and he mentioned Washington
GLADDEN., William E. Claiming, Ly-
man ] Abott and others.
Opinion Shared by Many Men
$50 the belief that war is murder
is not peculiar to anarchists" ask
ed Mr.. Lucking.
"It is not" responded the wit
ness. The opinion is held by men
of all shades of belief and unbo-
lief"
do you find in these articles SEN
timents incompatible with anarch-
ism?" asked Mr.. Lucking.
II do. Mr.. Ford's advice to write
to your Congressman is incompat-
ible with anarchism, which declines
to recognize government. His belief
in private property is another IN
stance, and so is his declaration that
in case of war we will all stand by
the President"

Iowa's Housing Law.

Iowans are finding out number of things
about their new state housing law that they
do not like. For instance, Davenport man
had corner lot on which he intended to build.
He found that by selling the front end he
would be able to finance home built on the
alley end of the lot. He made the sale and
then discovered that the state law would not
permit the erection of a dwelling near the alley
because the size of the lot made it necessary
to put it too close to the side street. So the
owner has a part of lot that is entirely
valueless to him and not worth much to any
body else, and he is without a place to build
a home.
This is not by any means an isolated in
stance in which property owners Of every city
in Iowa are humping up against provisions
which vex them and cause loss of money. All
of which goes to show that state housing law
should be very carefully considered prior to
it's enactment.
