There may be a humane and law

Most of the methods used nova
days are either very expensive or
very troublesome or injurious, ex-
cept. of course, that used by the
Chinaman. who traded of his tslka-
tive wife for a graphophone.
Robert Jones did not take time to
think of any way but violence to
make his wife, Dora, stop talking.
Dora had a good reason to talk.
Her husband, she said, stayed out
too late and too often, and she kept
demanding an explanation.
Robert had no explanation. but he
did have a beer bottle handy and
he let her have that over the head.
OF course, she stopped talking-un-
til she got to court.
Then she convinced the judge that
her husband had treated her real
mean.
His only reason for hurting her
was to make her hush. 1t would

THE KING SPEAKS.

In theory the king of England speaks
only when his cabinet decides he should
speak, and says only what it wants said.
The government of the United Kingdom
is vested in the parliament, and more par
ticularly in the house of commons of that
parliament The cabinet is supposed TO
represent its thought and judgment. But
the king of England is king of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and of the dominions beyond the seas,
emperor of India, etc, etc. Sometimes
the king is not quite sure that the cabinet
represents correctly the sentiment of the
parliament and people. At such times
he has to be particularly careful how he
talks. There has just been such a time
The king denies that he told Lloyd
George bluntly that he could not have
his people killed in this manner" in Ire
land. Lloyd George denies that the king
ever said such a thing. Lord NOrthcliffe
denies that he ever said. through the col
umns of his London Times, that the king
ever said such a thing But
1t has long been known that King
George was dissatisfied with the policies
of the cabinet in regard to Ireland, that
he was frankly tired of police raids and
pothunting for police, of riot and murder
which passed for war, and of govern
mental declarations which promised the
continuance of these practices for an in
definite period The world will probably
never know just what he said to Lloyd
George, but the world does know that,
whatever he said, it produced results.
Today there is the brightest prospect
for peace in Ireland that that vexed land
has known in eight years. The British
cabinet is willing to make concessions.
The Irish rebels are no less willing to dis
cuss terms.
Americans, and Englishmen and Irish
men no less. may suspect that the king
overstepped his constitutional limitations
when he spoke his mind to his prime min
lister, but they don't much care. They
feel that the king said the right thing,
the thing that should have been said long
ago. He may have strained the British
constitution, but he made friends by it.

BUSINESS SUCCESS

Henry Ford is being doomed for the
presidency by some of his admirers.
Henry Ford is suggested, in a petit
ton signed by several hundred Michigan
citizens, as a good man to take over and
run all the railroads of the United
States. The idea, evidently, is a sort of
benevolent dictatorship.
Henry Ford is expected to redeem the
supposed government failure at Muscle
Shoals. Ala, if the government will ac-
cept his offer and turn over to him the
big waterpower plant and nitrate factory
started there during the war.
Henry Ford, it may as well be said at
once. is a very much over-rated man.
He himself has admitted that in the
past, and would probably admit it again,
in a modest moment Few of his warm
est admirers will soberly maintain that
he is omniscient or has ever shown cOn'
vincing proof of craftsmanship. One
thing, however. Mr.. Ford does seem able
to do. better than any other living Amer

ception of John D. Rockefeller. He can
run a business efficiently.
He has a remarkable grasp, which

precedent He cuts through red tape.
He steers his own course. He does
