GERMANS PROTEST
. FORDSON TRACTOR

BERLIN, Dec. ia storm OF pro-
test has been aroused here by the
report that Henry Ford and his
500 have formed an agreement with
the Berlin firm Of Erich and Gratz
for tho manufacture of -Fordson
tractors in Germany. Tho Union
of German Motorplow Manufacturers
has made a formal protest to the
government against the introduc-
ton of American methods of mass
production. claiming that they are
already having dif1culty in dispos-
ing OF their products and that such
competition would drive them out
of business
d. Automobile manufacturers are like
wise alarmed at the possibility of
the setting up in Germany OF fac
tories that may later be used to
turn out Ford motor cars, for they
contend this would mean death to
the light-car industry here and
would seriously affect the manu-
faeture and sale of automobiles of
all classes.

PLAN SKYSCRAPER
FOR DEBT BOARD

BERLIN. Dec. 12.-As the debt OF
the present German government is
the largest in the history of the
country. federal officials planned to
construct Berlin's first skyscraper,
an office building of ten stories, to
serve as the permanent homo of the
German debt administra-
tion for which a long life Is ex-
pected.
But the Berlin building inspec-
tors today announced that on ac-
count OF the sandy soil and the
narrow streets. such a structure
would menace the safety of the city
and the debt manipulators will be
forced to be content with a less
pretentious structure.

THE READJUSTMENT.

During the war period there was such
very heavy demand for products Of
all kinds that the price of labor very
naturally was boosted upward along
with other necessities Of busy world.
This condition was only natural and
just. A laboring man finds his ex-
penses increased in proportion a. the
expenses of busines and manufacturing
interests are advanced, and bsesuss al
the commodities that enter int his life
and needs advanced he finds it not only
conven ent but absolutely necessary
that the one commodity which he has
ior sale, the labor of his hands or
brain, be paid for at higher rate
than in the former days And this 10
only right and just.
But labor, flushed by the success Of
battle proud of the higher wages than
ever before heard of. and feeling w.
cure becatse of the heavy demands
made upon it, and encouraged B. thJ
great anxiety of the manufacturer or
producer to produce and deliver his
goods, has not always been az consei-
entious as one might expect, and in
too many instances has taken advan-
tage of the necessities Of the employer
and the general public, and has deliv-
cred much less service for n day than
in the days when paid a much less wage
per day.
In the final adjustment that is COM
ing, aud it will soon be here. we must
expect, and we have right to expect,
that eatables and wearing apparel and
the many other necessities of life will
soon reach reduced plane, after which
after which, now mind you've shall
expect, and very naturally expect. that

WHILE The Post does not claim to
be the only, nor yet the best newspaper
published in Colorado, and while its
editor does not assume that he possesses
superior intelligence over and above all
other editors in Colorado. differing in
that respect from some of the newly
made editors we have known, we can
truthfully claim that we have made a
record for accuracy which we prefer
not to forfeit at this time, and for that
reason we do not care to resort to aues-
tionable methods in the matter of cb-
tanning an election canvass something
that is valued for its accuracy, or else
it possesses no value at all-and then
print the same with THIRTY errors.
After committing an act of this kind
we do not believe we would have the
nerve to crow over an alleged scoop, or
to abuse those who preferred to print
an accurate record which might he
kept and referred to in after years as
an authority. Some of these socalled
acts of ability and enterprise often
dwindle into acts of stupidity and i'm
becility when the truth is known and
when they are measured by the scales
of accuracy. However, 'twas ever
thus, and the story of the new broom
is called to mind Our competitors are
at perfect liberty to run their own bus
mess in manner most pleasing to
themselves, and we shall not abuse
them for it nor resort to the undigni-
fed practice of calling ugly names,
preferring to leave that task to those
whose minds run in such channels.

Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now. Forgotten

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that OF President
Washington In 1889 on the occasion
Of the adoption Of the Constitution,
the--day, curiously enough. being No
vember 26-the date of celebration Of
1858. This latter was the real fore
runner of our national Thanksgiving
day. Occasional and special times Of
thanksgiving had often been appoint
ed by different Presidents, but the year
1868, famous for its decisive national
victories, marked also the beginning
of the annual series of Thanksgiving
days.
The great victories of Gettysburg
and vicksburg were really the cause

successors until the annual festival
has become one of our national insti-
tutlons.
The proclamation of 1868 IVES re-

Mr.. Lincoln's glowing words met his
eye and struck responsive chord In
his heart. A noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result. a hymn which at
the time was often sung. but is now
comparatively forgotten. 1t was pub

even yet is suitable for use on similar
occasions
The hymn contains nine stanzas,
with chorus, and takes up in order the

JUDGING from the recent growing
interest in the Glenwood aeroplane, in
which number of our citizens have
financial interest, the business of tine
local organization should be, and we
believe it will be, very much better
next season. Lieutenant Ainslie has
had remarkable success with the ma
chine, and by the splendid manner in
which he has handled it he has done
much to convince the people that the
flying machine is not a mere crude and
hazardous experiment, but that in the
hands of careful, levelheaded operator
it is successful and practical vehicle
of modern travel which, although just
in the infancy Of its usefulness, will
continue rapidly to grow into popular
ity and value until it will soon be de-
pended upon to large extent in meet
ing the rapid transit problems of tine
country.

To be sure, the president-elect chooses
from the opposition party those who
are more or less in sympathy with his
views, and who have been out of har-
mony with the present administration
In fact, some of those Democrats who
are to be invited to counsel with Mr..
Harding are those who have become
disguised with the Wilson party and, in
the interest Of good government, voted
for Harding and Coolidge in the re-
cent election. Mr.. Harding realizes
that these people are better Americans
than they are Democrats, and having
faith in their patriotism, he deems it
better to seek their advice and counsel
in the planning of his new work. This
IS SO in contrast to the one-man, Big /,
spirit which has ruled at the White
House for the past eight years, that
1T viii certainly be refreshing to find
in the executive mansion a ruler who
does not imagine himself superior to all

the American people.
