company for the last five years shows
that its ideal of industrial justice has
always been high In 1914 the Ford
Motor Company announced a mini

time it has distributed approximately
100 million dollars in profits to en-
ployes. Following this Mr. Ford was
sued by minority stockholders and
compelled to pay dividends instead of
reinvesting earnings and increasing
wages as he desired Sometime later
however, came the announcement of
"a Sc day minimum scale to pay and
then the purchase of the holdings of
minority stockholders by Henry and
Edsel Ford

Private Ownership and Higher Rates


Now that the railroads have been
definitely ordered returned to their
stockholders on the first of March,
those newspapers which were anxious
to see them returned, are etlling the
public editorially how the roads have
been expensive to run under govern
ment management and that the re-
turn will be for the good of the coun-
try. But in other columns OF the
same paper will be found statements
from presidents of railroads saving
the people will have to pay higher
freight rates than have been paid UNI
der government mana cement or the
government must guarantee them a
hxeu return on on investment Of
twenty billions, of which eight bill
lions are water. The railroads are
starting to spend money with news
papers so as to have them right dur
ing the period of trying to fool the
people again. If the government is to
be called on to guarantee a profit
under private ownership it would
seem as the people would eventually
object and decide to have government
ownership where the roads would be
run for service and not for profit. AS
matter of fact the government has
made a profit on the operation OF tn,
roads of late months and the rates
shuld be reduced instead of raised if
private management is so much bet

THE NINETY AND NINE

There are ninety and nine that work
and die,
In hunger and want.and cold,
That one may revel in luxury,
And be Tapped in the silken fold,
And ninety and nine in their novels
bare,
And one in palace of riches rare
From the sweat of their brow the
desert blooms
And the forest before them falls;
Their labor has builded humble
homes
And the cities with lofty halls;
And the one owns cities and houses
and lands
And the ninety and nine have emp
ty hands.
But the night so dreary and dark and
long,
AT last shall the morning bring;
And over the land the victor's song
OF the ninety and nine shall ring,
And echo affair. from zone to zone,
Rejoice. for labor shall have its
own"

GOODBYE, EMMA GOLDMAN
BY ANDY" Lockhart

Goodby, Emma, no more will you
raise your screech owl voice on our
common ways; no more will you
howl and rant and rave to the long
haired freak and the poor wage slave;
no more will your bitter epitaph
arouse the ire of the golden calf;
you're going back home across the
drink where folks are too crazy to
try to think. Goodbye, Emma, you
have had your say and yau said it in
your own favorite way; you've
crowed from a box for thirty years
with gusto as light as two per cent
beers; you've belched your fifth on the
mart and mOil to the. tired crowds
who weary with toll; yet never have
the hands of you turned to the tasks
most mortals do. Goodbye, Emma,
may you never return to land you
oftimes chosv to spurn; may you find
your own on some rex ribbed-shors,
where you can test your yowl with the
oceans roar: where you can throw
your bombs and poison gas and seer
the trees and the wild sand grass:
for the world is large, but Emma.
dear, there isn't room for your kind
here.

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
LOST ARGUMENTS.

When in my wisdom I have said
That it is time to go to bed
Or crossed their wills with rules and
laws
There comes pout, and then a pause,
And then an argument 2nSueS
In which it seems I always lose.
When I announce that too much pie
Is bad for them, they ask me: why"
And when l start to prove my case
They taunt me to my very face,
And in debate, in which they're
strong,
They soon convince me am wrong.
Time was my judgment they'd &C.
cept
All my commands they bravely kept,
But now they've reached the reasoning
age,
The answering back and questioning
stage;
Their little minds are keen and swift
While helplessly / seem to drift.
NO Iu6IC COIIllUduu Will tlcllI VIII go
The reason why they want to know,
They wear me out. They argue back
And puncture with their sure attack
The case I've made, It'll with grin
I end their talk by giving in.
'Twould drive a great logician wild
To argue with a healthy child.
A thinking boy of four or five
Could floor the wisest man alive,
And any bright-eyed little girl
Can set the calmest brain awhirl.
And yet I'm glad those madcap elves
Are daily thinking for themselves.
I'm glad they have opinions strong
On what is right and what is wrong,
And oh, hope, when older grown,
In life's debates they'll hold their own.

Simple Coed Things.
A simple dessert which is easy to
prepare and wholesome for the chill
dren is:
Rice With Prunes and Bananas.
Take well-coOked rice, mold in small
cups or molds and around each place
alternate pieces of cooked prunes and
sliced bananas. Sprinkle lightly with
sugar and cover with whipped cream.
The addition of bit of lemon juice
with a bit of the grated rind of the
fruit itself is rather flavOrless. Orange
juice with a bit of the grated rind of
the fruit may be used also.
Rice is also very nice served with
fig sauce Take one cupful of figs,
stew in two cupfuls of water and
tablespoonful of sugar until they are
very tender, add a teaspoonful of
lemon juice and serve a tablespoonful
of the sauce with each helping of the
rice.

How much should | give
TO make this a better world!
n CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
u income tax report
It showed an income so large that his tax was
$50. And his total gifts to church ana char-
ity for the year were $I4o.
Think of it-thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself and $l48 to leave the world
little better than he found it!
Most of us do be- Ter than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
less than we spend for daily papers
less than local telephone call
less than third of the days car fare
less than cents day
No wonder that 8O% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $40 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands OF SICK
people year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 100000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
1t isn't because we selfish; it isn't because we
don't help It's just because one has ever put
up great and asked US to think OF the
work of the church in systematic buslnessilke way.
The Interchurch World represents the united
