Henry Fords Business Genius.

HENRY FORD is one of the business
and economic geniuses of the CEN
fury. He buys railroad and in
creases wages on that property
when all other wages are being
marked down. He establishes low
freight rates on his road when other
carriers are striving to make both
ends meet with high rates.
But then HENRY FORD knows a good
worker is worthy of his hire; he knows
a poor worker draws a dear wage,
however low it is, and isn't worth
his salt. And whether it is in his
motor careplants or at his farms or
on his railroad HENRY FORD in one
way or another, labor unions or no
unions, labor boards or no boards,
gets rid of the worker that does not
deliver the goods. Thus the pro-
Queer can get, and does get, and
ought to get, what formerly went to
the incompetent or the Stacker.
And HENRY FORD knows that what
gets the business is the right price
He knows, whether it is his automo-
bile, his tractor or his railroad, that
unless he operates to capacity he can
not operate with economic efficiency
He knows that unless his price sells
the motor cars and tractors it is a
worse price for him than for any
body else. He knows that unless his
freight rates bring traffic for his road
to haul they are heavier burden for
his carrier than for the shippers.
So HENRY FORD gets the support of
the public, which means the business,
and large slice of all the money in
the country And all the while per-
haps ninety-nine and nine-tenths Of
the rest of the population go around
cussing their luck because fabulous
riches don't fall into their laps as
they fall into HENRY FoRp's,

Merle Hays Parents.
Misfortune Attended Their Venture
in a Real Estate Trade.

To THE New YORK HERALD: I have
read your interesting editorial article on
Hay. Enright and Gresham, the first
three American soldiers killed on French
SOIL November 3, 1917. General Per-
shing's reference to their memory at
Hoboken on the occasion of the arrival
for burial at home was eloquent and
touching in the extreme. But there is
another side to the picture.
The Hays are small farmers. Merle
was the chief support of the family.
The last words he said on entraining
at Glidden after enlistment in June
1917 were Mother. if ! don't come

home for larger farm on the crest

result of the slump. in values been
driven from the new place and now

are for the present living In a crude
houseboat on the Raccoon River, not
far from Glidden, and win be the guests
of generous neighbors when they at
tend the funeral of their boy, now so
well known in history.
1t seems that the soldiers insurance
law had not yet become operative when
Merle lost his life that night in the
Luneville sector, and the parents are not
permitted to share in the Governments
generous provisions for the families of
its dead heroes. There seems to be no
way without special act of Congress
whereby the needy parents of Merle Hay
may be relieved in their distress SEN
ator Kenyon has been asked to introduce
a bill that will bring to them the relief
that would have come had their boy

Their case is one that ELECTS sym
