SENATOR CAPPER SAYS:
Lose the First Battle for Muscle
Shoals.

The first battle for the Henry Ford
Development of Muscle Shoals has
been lost. The senate committee on
agriculture declined by vote of to
9 to report the Ford plan favora bly,.
The final battle will have to be fought
out on the floor of the senate. Sena-
tor Ladd and myself and five Demo-
cratic mem bers of the committee were
the seven who stood by the Ford
Proposition. A hard fight is ahead
of the senators who wish to see Ford
win, the one man who can transform
this stupendous wreck on which the
government has spent nearly 100 mil
lions, into great national benefit and
at the same time free the farmers of
the United States from the grip of the
fertilizer trust. But they are in this
fight to finish. 1t may take an
other session of congress but victory
will come in the end. :,
AS I see it, it is Ford and the peo-
pie on one side, and the fertilizer
trusts and the private waterpower
interests on the other. In the end
Ford and the people will win. Either
this great project will be developed
by Henry Ford or by the government
under direction of Secretary Weeks
Of the war department. l think the
farmers believe Henry Ford, an in
tensely practical industrial genius,
will come nearer to smashing the
fertilizer trust than will Weeks,
whose close affiliation with big busi-
ness is a matter of common knowl-
edge. The farmers haven't forgotten
that Secretary Weeks has on num-
erous occasions publicly expressed his
opposition to the farm bloc and has
shown no sympathy or interest in the
problems Of the farmer. Ford wishes
to give the farmers a chance. Under
his contract all he could make at best
would be 8 per cent.

1.-THE Cloud"

A beautiful poem appropriate to
this midsummer season is "The
Cloud" by an unknown author:
A cloud came over a land of leaves
(Oh, hushfi little leaves, lest it
pass you by!)-
How they had waited and watched
for the rain,
Mountain and valley, and vineyard
and plain,
with never sign from the sky!
Day after day had the pitiless sun
Looked down with a lidless eye.
But now! On a sudden whisper
Through the topmost twigs of the
poplar spire;
Out of the east a light wind blew;
All the leaves trembled, and muir
INJURED, and drew
Hope to the help of desire.
It stirred the faint pulse of the forest
tree,
And breathed through the brake
and the brier.
Slowly the cloud came and the wind
died,
Dumb lay the land in it's hot sus-
pense;
The thrush on the elm bough sud-
denly stopped,
The weather-warned swallow in mid
flying dropped,
The linnet song ceased in the
fence;
Mute the cloud moved, till it hung
overhead,
Heavy, big bosomed, and dense.
Ah, the cool rush through the dry
tongued trees,
The patter and plash on the thirsty
earth,.
The eager bubbling of runnel and rill
The lisping of leaves that have drunk
their fill,
The freshness that follows the
dearth!
New life for the woodland, the vine
yard, the vale,
New life in the worlds new birth!

Uncle Sam Saloon-Keeper at Sea.

It is a scandalous and deplorable
situation, it SENS to me, to have this
government in the saloon business on
it's merchant ships at sea, as it is now
with the consent of the chairman of
the U. S. Shipping Board. With Uncle
Sam prohibitionist at home and a
saloon-keeper on the seas, our Eu-
ropean brethren can again wink the
other eye when discussing American
ideals and the worlds greatest hypo-
crite-because that is what we are
if we permit this to continue. A gov
ernment that breaks it's own laws
need expect no one else to respect
them or it. If it is lawful to run
saloon under the American flag on
ship board, it is lawful to run sa-
loon anywhere. AS 1t is unlawful,
this disgraceful thing must be stop

Ford's Thoughts by the Way.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Mr.. Henry Ford, en- route, has dis
covered that not single union is
formed primarily by the men them
selves, or run for their benefit. To his
penetrating eye it is clear that "all
unions are engineered by capitalists.
Thus they hire Mr.. Gompers to defy
the courts, Mr.. Lewis to bring on the
coal strike, and Mr.. Jewell to nation
alize the railway workers. 1t must
be capital that also inspires the fond
ness of the unions for breaking con-
tracts. THE moneyed interests of
Wall Street are behind these walk
outs, as they are behind every dis
turbance in the ranks of labor or
capital" says Mr.. Ford, who hates
unions almost as much as he does
Wall Street.
1t is well known that he is inde-
pendent of both. The reason that ne
does not class himself with capita
lists is that he pays a "living wage"
and gives his men working condi-
tions conducive to self-expression"
Great wits are sure to madness near
allied. Yet it takes certain cour-
age to invite laughter in the manner
of Mr. Ford's self-expression. His
friends are pushing him for the pres
idency. But even he cannot delude
himself into thinking that there are
any union votes-or other votes-it
his views on unions.

Quick Thinking.

Young jenkins asked his employer
if he might have the afternoon off to
attend his grandmother's funeral,
and old as the gag was, it worked.
An hour later he was about to pur-
chase an admission to the base ball
grounds when who did he see stand
ing beside him but the boss himself
Young Jenkins did not lose his wits,
however. Instead of putting his mon
ey down, he turned to the ticket SELL
er and said in tone loud enough for
his employer to hear, "Would you
kindly direct me to the cemetery?"

Why Not Plain Speaking?

The State.
Once or twice week lately homi-
eide has been reported in South Caro-
lima. In most of these tragedies
white men have been parties and in
some cases they have been men OF
more than ordinary intelligence. That
is a wretched condition of affairs.
Nevertheless it is certain tina, were
men who have it in their hearts to
carry pistols and, upon provocation
or without provocation, to slay their
fellowmen reasonably assured that in
the case of conviction and sentence
to death and Imprisonment they
would be pardoned after a few
months by a governor, the number Of
homicides would be trebled or quad
rupled.
The shortest and surest way to
make South Carolina uninhabitable
by law-abiding citizens, especially de-
fenseless women, would be to lodge
the pardoning power in the hands of
a citizen who might pardon 425 GRIM
inals every year and possibly more.
So much no man or woman will deny.
It is all we'll enough to talk about
enforcement of law" Why not
specify? Why not be definite?
Why not say, 81 shall not pardon
convicts except in extraordinary cir
cumstances,, when the rigidity of the
law requires to be corrected lest in
Justice be done, and can not con-
ceive Of circumstances in this state
that would allow me.to issue in any
one year more than 40 or so pardons
and combinations"
A declaration of that kind would
mean something. 1t would be candid
dealing with the people. 1t would be
the abandonment Of all quibbles, dou-
BILE meaning and nonsense.
Why do not the voters require the
candidates to come down to facts
and honest talk? Do the voters know
that candidates who refuse to use
plain language that child can un-
derstand are laughing at them and
in their hearts calling the voters
fools?
Why is any candidate afraid to
speak in words that will commit him
self to something?
Every candidate knows the d1fer-
ence between pardoning 200 men and
1000 men in four years.
