McAdoo ii Mexico 70 Build up Rail
Lines. Credit Here.

/ Washington, Feb. I.Mexico il ne.
gotiating with William G. McAdoo to
irehabilitate and take charge of her
State railroads. McAdoo is In Mex
leo as 4 guest Of President Obregon
and may stay there indefinitely.
He is accompanied by his wife and
Jonett Shot,se, former Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Treasury and now one
Of the officials of the Mexico and ORR
| eut Railway, projected between Kan
sas City, Mo-, and Guaymat and So
nora. ST. V
The invitation to McAdoo is looked
on here as a move by Obregon to gain
recognition from this Government.
lObreRon, it is said, realizes he must
Stabilize Mexico financially and in
dustrially to get such recognition. 2
With this end in view, negotiations
Ewere begun with McAdoo, who knows
both railroads and finances and whose
employment would react favorably in
this country and in foreign capitals.
McAdoo took the suggestion under
consideration and it is understood an
arrangement calling for his employ
ment for several years at a salary OF
$4,000 year or greater probably may
be worked out.
Here is the. situation that will con
front McAdoo: The Mexican Govern
ment, from the time the railways
were taken over by the nation under
President Huerta, has paid no inter-
est to the American, bondhoiders who
controlled the fines until the Mexican
Government obtained a controlling in
terest.
The American Government, it is uil-
derstood. will insist that steps toward
the readjustmcnt of the railway debt
before official relations are resumed
between Washington and Mexico
City.

THE FORD RAILROAD CASE

Henry Ford's purchase of the Detroit, To ledo X Ironton railroad his subsequent reduc- ton of rates and increase of wages of common labor have been made the subject of much interesting discussion, large part of which is hardly instructive. There has been an as sumption that what Henry Ford has done with the D., T. & 1. he could do with any other road and if placed in control could accomplish the same results on all roads.
 But Mir Ford himself has never made any such claim, nor would it be justified if made The fact is that Ford bought the road at sacrifice sale when it had such small business that it could not pay expenses. His invested capital is only about half the actual cost of the road. Ford Is the owner of the largest automobile factory in the world and is a large buyer of iron, coal and the nnumerabIe raw materials that go into an auto. All his freight business he withdrew from other roads and shipped over the D., T. & l., and more over, used his control of these shipments over roads beyond his own lines in such a way as to favor roads that would divert freight to his road Presumably all the people who travel on Ford business go over the D., T. X |. if possible. The bulk of the business of the D., T. X l. n made up of shipments to or from the Ford actorics.
 Let us suppO e that Ford continued to own the railroad hut gave up or lost control of the factorics-,:ha then would be the condi- tion of the TO; Il? Let us suppose that Ford controlled all the roads and shipped his freight without discrimination, what then would be tN" extent of freight shipped over the D., T. IS l.?
 The answer to these queries is obvious Without the favors incident to united owner ship of the factory and the road, the trans portation line would drop back into its former status of insolvency.
 The present successful operation of the D., T. & l. does not demonstrate anything of practical value of the railroad world

FIRST AWARD TO MIR. HARDING

There is every reason to believe that, should th" entertaining Mr, Franklin D. Roosevelt gel the million dollars he js seeking as d Woodrow Wilson Foundation" its first award for "pcacc through justice" achieve
 .t ,i'J "o to Warren Gamac Harding.
 Mr. Harding is doing more for the cause of peace through justcc-and common scnsc- than any president since William Howard Taft. It is not the likelihood of getting any award such young AIr. Roosevelt visions which animates President Harding, to be sure. That million dollar foundation consists thus far of talk only, and Franklin D. Roosevelt tllk at that which k the cheapest in the market Still, when medals for truly fine deeds in peace-insuring Iabors begin to be passed around they are not likely to miss reaching Nlr. Harding.
 Thus far, of course, the Woodrow Wilson foundation scheme is chiefly noteworthy for having rescued F. D. R. from the oblivion into which last Novembcr's election so com pIetely plunged him. Getting him out was a tremendous task, and for this feat the pro posed foundation deserves whatever credit can be fairly supposed to attach to such an achlevement.-St. Louis Times.

NEWSPAPERS A PROVEN NECESSITY

\ significant story of the increasingly i'm portant part which the daily newspapers play in the homes of the American people is told in the latest statistics of the bureau of the census No less significant is the story vraIcl in the figures showing the extent to which merchants rely on the daily newspaper to bring their wares to the attention of the newspaper readers.
 More than eleven and one-quarter billion copies of daily papers are printed annually in the United States averaging one copy a day for every three and one-ffth persons of the country's total population. The circulation of the nations 2.433 daily newspapers showed an increase of 13.S per cent in the five years since newspapers and periodicals showed an increase of v per cent per issue in five years. At the same time advertising increased 121.5 per cent.
 The American people are reading the daily papers more than they have eyer done in tn" past The American business man is using the daily newspaper more than ever before a vehicle for bringing his merchandise be fore the public. These are the two indisput-
 bo conclusions which might be drawn from 'ho statistics reported by the census bureau. But there are others. The American people will continue to read the daily papers and the American business men will continue to advertise in them in the days to come A newspaper in every home, should be the slogan of the American press; an advertisement in every issue might well be the slogan of the progressive business man.
