EDUCATING" A NATION.

A libel suit brought by Henry
Ford against the Chicago Tribune has
resulted in some instructive revelations
about human nature, publicity and
the power of money.
Mr.. Ford sued the Tribune for call
ing him an Anarchist" The alleg-
ed offense was committed in an edi-
torial printed in criticism of the man
u9acturer's spectacular anti-prepared-
ness propaganda, before the United
States entered the war.
It develops on the witness stand
that Mr.. Ford has only the most hazy
idea as to what constitutes an "an-
archist." His IDEAS seem just as
hazy regarding preparedness, mill
tarism, socialism and almost every sys-

ABOUT MEXICO.

It is just as we'll to keep cool about
Mexico. It may be necessary TO
adopt more drastic and decisive meas
ures toward that country; but let
there first be definite, detailed
marshal1ing of the facts.
There is no question that conditions
are pretty bad down there, that there
is much disorder. that the Carranza
government has fallen short of its
duty, that American citizens have
been abused and killed. These things
have been going on for years. The
question is, whether conditions have
grown any worse, and whether thu
situation is hopeless without Ameri-
can Intervention.
The worst thing about the whole
business is that it is so Difficult. 20 tell
what is truth and what is fiction.
Mexicans are notorious liars. Some
times Americans sojourning in Mexl-
co lie, too. There is always an insis-
tent propaganda conducted by Amer
lean business interests who want in
tervention. Every now and then 4
new campaign of anti-Mexican pub
licity breaks out. Almost any news
item from Mexico or the border, how
ever innocent or veracious it appears
may have been "doctored.' The pa
pers feel obliged to publish such
news" because it seems true: b,lt
they cannot tell.
AS for the recent crimes against
Americans in Mexico, while many et
them have been OF such a sort that
the United States is bound to take
cognizance of them. others have beer
plainly such irresponsible acts of in
diyiduaI bandits as occur every day
in this country.
Possibly intervention is necessary
and inevitable But there is no rea-
son for blind haste The American
people have just emerged from one
war. Do they want to plunge rigEt
into another? That is a question
which every American who is just
ly indignant at Mexican outrages
should ask himself
If there is to be another war, let
the nation be perfectly clear about
the mater beforehand, and go in with
it's eyes open. being sure of its
grounds, knowing that there is nc
other way and ready to stand the con-
sequences.

FHE EsTIdABLE BARTENDER

sBartending has never stood especial
II high in public estimation. But
perhaps the estimate has been wrong.
Hear what DR.. H. Pierce Clark, New
York neurologist, has to say in praise
of the profession:
e abolish the saloon if we must, but
keep the bartender. He is generally
good fellow, and far better educat-
ed, as a rule, than the patron. When
the saloon passes, the loss of this gen.
ial friend will be felt by muititudes
OF light tipplers throughout the
country
The Education" of the typical bar
BENDER may be called in question by
Hhcse who choose to apply academic
standards; but certain it is that he is
generally an expert in his knowledge
of human nature. And that. accord
ing to many philosophers. is the
highest form of knowledge.
The metropolitan nerve specialist
need not be so disconsolate, however
over the prospect. The bartender is
not going to vanish from the face OF
the earth. Communities that have al
ready gone dry have found that the
good ones keep right on serving the
public. and very largely the same
public at that, as walters or as dis.
pensers of soft drinks. In one or two
States that have recently sworn off
most CT me bartenders are said to
have remained right in the same sa
looms, using their old time skill il
handling near-beer. ginger ale, etc.
and conducting themselves with al
their accustomed geniality.

Good things are seldom lost, even il

Indirectly, with the war. Anyone who
has read his testimony must have
been astonished at the witness's
strange lack of information regarding
current events, hrs self confessed ig-
nerance of history, his curious pro-
cess of thought, his self-contradic-
fions. his manifest incapacity to un-
derstand what has been going on in
the world
All this need never have attracted
comment except for one thing. Hen
ry Ford set himself up as teacher
of the American people. More than
once, on the witness stand, when ask
ed why he had entered upon that big
publicity campaign-which he admits
was conducted entirely by special
writer whom he employed and gave
carte blanche-he replied:
81 wanted to educate people and
teach them to think
Now, nobody questions Mr.. Ford s
pre- eminence in his own line. In his
capacity as a manufa cturer he has
filed a great material need and per-
formed a big service for mankind.
But automobiles are one thing, and
war and history and public affairs in
general are something else.
Mr.. Ford was sincere. He need not
be condemned toe harshly. But in
the light of recent developments, what
a farce that anti-preparedness drive
was! And yet, how dangerous!
Publicity is power, perhaps the
greatest of powers. Money nowadays
IS power largely because it confers the
ability to WELD publicity on big
scale What could a Ford or
not do if he were to de-
vote all his millions persistently to
exploiting some wrong cause? This
is a peril against which the public
hereafter must protect itself.
