HISTORY IS BUNK"

Ford himself is chiefly dunk"
That is why, perhaps, he is making

To demonstrate that "history is

got the notion of a QUESTIONABLE
from his comrade, Edison-"What
difference does it make how many
times the ancient Greeks flew their
kites ?"
Now, it may not matter at all how
many times the great Hellenes flew
kites; but kite-fying is capital and
essential faculty or accomplishment
in an American man of affairs. Ane
Henry only recently flew kites
against the storm (like freedoms
banner) of Wall-Street that ragged
against him. Henry could give the
Greeks and the Chinese some poin-
tiers on kite-fying.
And the humble kite itself, the
kind that Henry reviles the Greeks
for toying with, for wasting their
Aristotelian genius in devisfng and
flying, is not to be despised When
the bridge over Niagara was II
building a kite was used to carry
across the chasm the cord that, IN
turn, carried the wire that, in turn,
carried heavier things; and so, con-
ceivably, the kite laid the massive
bridge above the gorge and the tor
rent. And kites are daily used in the
service of science and the intimate
service of man.
Mirabeau said of the famous kite
flying experiment of Franklin, that
it had Scratched the lightning from
the heavens and the sccpter from
tyrants."
So Henry's kite may be said to
have snatched the bolt from the
hands of the Joves of Wall-Street.
When Henry says "history is
bunk" he is, like another ancient
Greek, defying the lightning. History
may yet knock Henry, higher than
Gilderoy's kite"

United States Senator Joseph E.
Ransdell, president of the National
Merchant Marine Association deli
vered a splendid addrss to the Ad-
vertising Club of New York member
ship yesterday, using as his subject
whats wrong with our Merchant
Marine?"
Summarized, an advanced copy Of
the Senator's speech says:
America owns over billion dol
lars of excellent ships; it is imposs-
ible to sell this fleet even if advisa-
BILE; the shippers of the country must
help the Shipping Board to profitably
employ this fleet; preferences in in
land freight rates, if any, must be
given to American ships; the Ameri-
can public must take greater inter-
est in sea shipping; we have, we can,
must and will continue to build ships
the equal of any nations; our Navy
and our commerce were at the mercy
of foreign vessels at the out
break of the World War; our YES
sells operate in competition with for
eign ships that are less heavily man.
ned at lower wages; Eat least one
acid test of genuine American pa
triotism should be to stand by our
own ships;' commerce follows the
flag and who will stop our flag from
going to any part of the world.
Senator Ransdell at the conclusion
of his speech, which was of great
length, was accorded an ovation.
The tenor of the speakers re-
marks holds so much interest for all
Florida, in particular, that every
business man in the State should
write Senator Ransdell for a copy of
his address. There is so much of the
speech in common with the Hart
Plan, proposing the conversion of
this billion dollar fleet into bonds for
surrender to ex-service men and the
fleets operation by and for Ameri-
cans, that it would seem this Plan,
which originated in Jacksonville, was
the Senator's text.
Mr.. ]. w. Hart, who has spent
twenty years in transportation work,
introduced the Hart Plan" to the
public while a resident of Jackson
vile, just prior to taking residence
in Palatka. Mr.. Hart has contended
for the enforcement of the Jones Act
as law with teeth to foster Ameri-
can Commerce delivered in American
vehicles. Senator Ransdell speaking
of foreign ships delivering our pro-
ducts asks: Would great merchants
like Wannamaker, Lord & Taylor, or
Altman, for instance, be satisfied to
have deliveries of their goods made
by competitors ?" Continuing, he
said that much was heard of foreign
powers retaliating if the Jones Act
was enforced and then "the end of
our Merchant Marine Navy was as
sured." In refutation of this the
speaker said that retaliation" was
spoken of most by our greatest COM
petitors and it would seem that if the
Jones Act was to take US out of the
competition, why was there such
opposition to the Acts enforcement?
The Senator did not lose sight of
the fact that the Merchant Navy
was constructed as an adjunct of
our fighting fleet, and, strictly in
accord with the Hart Plan, said,
it was most vital to our welfare
from the standpoint of safety.
The Hart Plan" was submitted to
Senator Ransdell for his careful
reading some time ago and his New
York address leaves no room for
doubt of his hearty accord with it
