THERE is a forceful lesson in the
trial and verdict Of the famous
milion-dolar libel suit Of Henry Ford
against the Chicago Tribune. More
and more newspapers have come to
learn that no matter how jealous
their belief in any disputed matter
they gain nothing by arguing with
hard words and bad temper instead Of
reason. Calling people names is q
practice that most newspapers have
outerown. II they can not convince
or influence public opinion by reason,
they can not hope to do so by apply
ing epithets to those with whom they
do not agree. Every newspaper edi-
tor receives letters, usually anony-
nous, applying every sort Of epithets
TO him and his opinions, but the ef-
feet Of this common experience is to
convince him Of the uselessness. for
any purpose Of merely calling names
The Tribune in it's zeal denounced
Henry Ford as an anarchist and i'm
pliod ut least that he is an enemy Of
thpKuvsrnment and country. 1t would

For all his grim duties, General Per-
shing isn't above telling a good story
once in while. This in one of them:

captain grinned. "It's this way, gen.

Why do boys leave the farm? That's

Ere thou shalt 20 the way OF all thy

And here no more thy Joy or sorrow

At any fount Of happiness or tears.
Yea, and how soon shall all that thee

To any heart that beats with love for

Be everywhere forgotten utterly,
With all thy loves and joys, and hopes

But o my soul, because these things

Be thou not cheated Of today's delight.

WITH THE WOMEN=

There Is an interesting woman living
down in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She
mas taken up an occupation which here
tofore has been a clear field for men.
She contradicts the statements made by
many reactionaries that the home Is
the place for women and that the
family must suffer if the woman works
In the business world. Mrs. William
Eicher is the woman and she has four
small children. Mrs. Eicher claims that
her family would suffer more II she did
not work at her new profession.
Mr.. Eicher died few months ago
and left his wife with four small chill
dren, a small farm. smaller steamer
and river bank coal mine. Mrs.
Eicher felt that she could not afford
to hire skilled pilot to operate her
steamer which hauled lows of coal from
the mine to Bowling Green on Green
river. But this did not worry her long,
because armed with the knowledge
gained in working side by side with her
husband on the river, she applied for a
pilots license and won it.
Thus she became the first licensed
pilot in Kentucky Her little farm is
not large enough to support a family
of five, but together with the mine
properties under her judicious manage
ment are on paying basis, despite tho
high price of materials and labor.
