mr.. FORD GETS SIX CENTS

In the million-dcllar libel suit against the Chicago
Tribune. which has attracted attention all over the
country. Henry Ford. well known automobile manufac-
turer. has been awarded a verdict in the sum OF 6 cents
The attorneys. for both parties profess themselves to
be well satisfied with the result. II one could read their
minds he would probably learn that they are decidedly
dissatisfied-the attorneys for the plaintiff because
their client was not awarded a substantial sum, and
the attorneys for the defendant because their client was
not given a complete vindication.
The smanness of the award in such a case recalls
the damage suit OF the novelist, ]. Fenimore Cooper.
against the New York Tribune when that journal waz
in the heyday of its youthful life under the direction OF
Horace Greeley. Greeley never liked Cooper. He con.
sidered him stilted and affected, and he frequently r1di.
culed him in the columns Of the Tribune. Cooper.
stung to evaporation, sued for damages. Greeley made
still further use of this fact to heap ridicule upon the
head of the victim. When the case was finally dis
posed Of. poor Cooper emerged with a verdict of 81,
and Greeley hailed the result with malicious glee. He
made the case the subject Of several serio-comic ar
ticles, in each Of which he repeated the assurance that
"Fenimore shall have his dollar" Ill
The mental processes by which a jury arrives al
a verdict for damages are not always clear to the out
slider. but there have been many cases in which the
conditions were in principle quite similar to the Ford.
Tribune-case, and in which the result was also similar
the award of damages, but in a ridiculously small sum
and from all the information available concerning such
matters that result is usually reached, because of the
feeling on the part of the jurors that both parties are
to blame-one perhaps a little more than the other, blu,
not enough to entitle the other to any material sun,
i'll compensation.
To many outsiders the verdict in this case will be
felt to quite in keeping with the facts. The Tribune un-
doubtedly was reckless and extreme in some Of it's state.
ments 1t ought to be more moderate and more care
full, and the fact that it will be required to bear a
greater share of the burden Of the costs in this case
seems like a salutary measure. On the other hand,
II usually understood. had peen equally extreme and
thoughtless in many Of his statements, and his atti-
tude at one time undoubtedly did tend to interfere with
the governments war work by helping to build an an
atgonistic sentiment. Evidently the jury has attempted
to balance all Of these facts, has reached the conclusion
that both sides were to blame-the Tribune a little more
than Mr.. Portland has decreed accordingly.

INCOME AND OUTGO

~ lelIeI VI J.-1. OIE o DOyOn, secretary OF
the organization of maintenance-of-way railway men.
presents some facts which merit attention by the pub
Lie. The letter itself is exceedingly moderate in tone.
and bears the mark throughout Of having been written
by a man who is a good citizen and a thoughtful and
observing man.
Mr.: Morris says that the rank and file Of meg il
his branch OF railway work are paid at the rate of
$500 a day. a sum which yields them about $s4 a
month If there is no lost time. That there is lost time
in this, as in every outdoor occupation, is a well known
fact: but assuming that there is none, the wages of
this class Of employees are as stated. Mr.. Norris cites
an estimate to the effect that the average cost Of living
per family is ST. q month. He does not state his author.
ity. and there are a good many people who would like
to learn just how they can live decently and maintain
their families under existing conditions on that sum.
take oath that it can not be done. Assuming that it
can be done. we have the situation in this particular
branch Of industry Of the possible maximum income
just about equanng the average expense. That means
that the people who are working under these conditions
are spending their entire time in a struggle for bare
existence-and that is not a condition conducive to prog
ress. It does not tend to build up a strong local co,n.
munity, q strong state, or a strong nation. Mr.. Morri.
presents the two possible solutions. II there II prof.
|iteerins. he says that profiteering must be discovered
and suppressed to the end that the cost Of living ma,
b reduced. II there is no profiteering, and present
prices are rational and normal, a reasonable margin
between the laborers income and his outgo can be se.
cured only by an increase Of wages.
OF course the scale Of prices does not depend neces-
sarhy and entirely upon the question Of pronteerins
It involves very largely the question Of waste-wast
on manufacture waste in distribution, waste BY dupM.
cation OF effort along many lines. waste In . dozen other
directions-and Tie elimination Of this waste i one Of
the srsst problems now before the country.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1919-08-16

the earliest possible opportunity. but the fact that at last
there 10 to be such a conference will be received with
general subtraction. The committee has suggested, and
the president agrees, that nothing that transpires shall
be considered confidential. The president has announced
that a stenographer will make a record Of everything
that is said. and he suggests that the committee also
provide another stenographer for this purpose. It is UNI
derstood that the full record Of the conversations will
be made public.
At this time little can be, said as to other develop
ments in relation to the peace treaty. SO far as the indi-
cations go they appear to point to ratification Of the
treaty with certain Interpretative reservations concerning
certain features Of the League Of Nations constitution,
but all this may be changed by the conference Of next
week.
The strike Of railway shopmen, while not entirely
ever. seems to be practically at an end. The international
officers Of the union have been using their influence to get
the strikers to return to work in order that consideration
Of the claims made may be facilitated, and most Of those
who walked out have returned.

field Of wheat threshed this week on

A few acres on the farm of Fred

JULY NO MONTH FOR BABIES

Chicago, Illinois, is conducting ;
campaign which bids fair to deter
mine which is the best month fol
babies. Mrs. Walter S. Brewster
vice-chairman of The Fatherless
Children of France, and in charge of
a national campaign to secure Amer
lean aid to the extent of 1Oc a day
for one year for 10000 little French
war waits, issued an appeal for birth
day donations of $500 to care for
a child during the donors birthday
month.
The returns disclosed that it is al
most impossible to unearth a July
birthday. A group of children of
Lake Forest families-Lake Forest
being the wealthiest suburb of Chi
cago-undertOok to form an adop-
ton group of the twelve calendar
months. January. January, Febru-
airy, March, and all the other birth
days were easy to find, but no July
child has yet been discovered and
the local papers are advertising for
July children.
What's the matter with July?
To adopt fatherless little French
war waif,-which means to act as its
American godmother or godfather
while it remains with its own mother
in France-Or make a birthday no
nation, write to Mrs. Walter S. Brew
ster, Rood 635, 41O S. Michigan Ave,
Chicago. Every cent donated goes
direct to the child. The small ex-
penses of the work are paid by inter
ested friends.

Japanese Communal EtlnDett..

When American people Judge the de-
gree Of affection between a japanese
husband and wife by their conduct to
each other they make a great mistake.
It would be as bad form for a man to
express approval of his wife or chill
4ren as it would be for him to praise
any other part of himself, and every
Wife takes pride in conducting her
self according to the rigid rules Of
etiquette, which recognize dignity and
humility as the virtues that reflect
greatest glory on the home Of which
she is mistress

Baby Natural MonopoIIrt.

There is about the baby none of the
subtle deceitfulness Of the old, prac.
tlced bore who deftly turns the con.
versation to his own exploits and af-
fairs. Baby simply takes off the muf.
fer from his personal self. The en-.
tire household attention turns at once
to his affairs. He monopollzes the con.
versatlOn with his breathless account
Of his hunger or or his connection with
the open safety pin-and that is al
there is to it.
