NEW ASSAULT ON
LIZzY's FATHER


The assauit by FIVE members of the
house military affairs committee on
Henry Ford's proposal to buy from
the government the great Muscle
Shoals plant serves purpose only
in that it opens new angle to the
handling of this gigantic government
enterprise that will arrest attention.
The protestants charge that the Ford
plan is part of "the most insisideous
propaganda that the nation has wit.
messed for man a day" They con-
tend the plant has cost the govern
ment $S5,4S7 800, and that it is pro-
posed to sell it to Ford for less than
100000, They contend the con-
tract does not enforce the manufac-
ture of fertilizer by Ford, and that
this fertilizer propaganda has been
spread to gain the backing OF the
farmer. Further, they sheer at the
plea to labor in stories of the posi-
BILE employment for million men,
The chief cause of objection, how
ever, that Mr.. Ford does not agree
to make fertilizers at all unless he
can make them at a profit to him
self" This is a terrible arraignment.
By what rule of thumb do these very
patriotic congressman condemn the
moral standard of a man because he
wants to make profit out of a bust
ness enterprise. If we had In the
national congress a few men of suffi-
cient business acumen to think of
profit for the public, we would not
be worrying today about the dispo-
sition of the Muscle Shoals plant. 1t
would be operated by the govern
ment, supplying to the farmers fer
tilizer at cost. or near to cost; ii
might even be turning out standard
lied farming machinery and putting
an end TO the exploitation of the
farmer at the hands of the machin-
cry trust. Farmers mean food, and
food means life. If the opposition
can bring this about, then by all
means scrap the Ford plan, but if il
cannot, if the countr must await the
slow disintegration of the plan, if il
must stand idle until it rots and falls
to pieces like so many of our war
time ships, if it must follow in the
wake of the thousands of wartime
automobiles, left for months in the
open, to be made junk by the wealth
er, while our patriots bubble like the
three little Tailors of Tooley Street
| then the sooner we get some action
and some salvage from theincompe
tencyof our reclamation authorities
the better.
The shocked congressman say Ford
is not an Aladdin plus the lamp
True, but he is a pretty sound bust
ness man, and his past performance
for labor bespeaks well for the work
man in the future if he be permitted
to turn government fioundering into
private energy.

PROMISE LAND

Most everything's a promise that
we run acrost today; there's prom
Uses of better things, and promises to
pay. The seed-time holds a promise
of the harvest that's to come, and au-
tumn brings its promise of the win
ter, cold and dumb. The promise of
allegiance to our country binds us
all-when the traitor breaks his
promise, he is domed beyond recall.
We hug the glitterin' prospects,
when they promise a reward-and
base our hopes eternal on the prom.
Use OF the Lord.
We love the lad that promises a
rich expanse of life, and crown the
little queen that holds the promise
of wife. We seldom greet a prom
Use with the shadder of a doubt
and the things that promise nothin',
we are wise in kickin' out. We smile
at the clouds of promise, when the
crops is needin rain, and we recol-
lect the promise when the rainbow
shines again. Oh, there's nothin' else
but promise than can 'soothe the
weary soul, while the only thing
that's certain is the thing we can't
control! And so, with helpful prom

REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS
OPPOSE THE TARIFF Bill

The following is from the New
York Times, Independent:
The evidence is ample that no tar.
if bill ever raised up so many en-
emies, even in its own household, as
the measure now hung up in the SEN
ate. This unpopularity appears In all
parts of the country and in every
kind of business opinion. Newspapers
hitherto of the straightest sect OF
protectionism are so disguised with
the proof they get of public dislike
of what congress is doing that they
are calling upon it to throw the bill
out of the window and adjourn as
soon as possible.

New Orleans for their annual nation
al convention, October is TO II, sew
eral thousands will revert 10 their
railroad hotel. The New Orleans
convention committee will establish
hotel on wheels, with a housing
capacity of nearly $4,000 men.
Pullman coaches lighted with cleo
tricity will supercede the straw-lit-
tered French box cars. There will
be dining car facilities. showers and
all the conveniences of a modern no
tel. Parking yards will be located a
short distance from the downtown
district. The New Orleans yards can
take care of 465 Pullman cars.
The railroads have established
rental and parking charge which will
compare favorably with the reduced
hotel rates. They, will charge sb4
day for each car and s12 day for
parking. This will cover all Pull
man tariffs from the visitors home

Detroit, cars; Atlanta, cars; Bir-
mingham, cars, and IPitsburg, 8
cars. The sleeping cars will be op-
Grated after the pattern of a minia-
ture city. Each car will be house.
One railroad will establish a club
house with shower baths, a barber
shop and laundry agency. The
small city will be thoroughly lighted
and supplied with water; sewage dis

With the creation of the hostelry

lieve that better facilities will be pro-
vided for men from the same legion
departments and posts to enjoy the
comradeship of the journey and to
hold group meetings during their
stay in the convention city.

THE sorrows Of youth are intense.
i Heartaches are felt more keenly

Yesterday, as 1 was strolling through
the southwestern part of the city. my
attention was attracted to a little,
ragged, dirty-faced youngster Of hve
or six years or thereabout. At the
edge of the sidewalk was a man
with a little wagon. He was q
vender OF "snowballs'-those concoc-
tions made OF shaved Ice and highly
colored favors. Raspberry. orange.
lemon. chocolate, lime and numerous
other favors were shown In tempt
ing array of bottles. As the vender
cried his wares. proclaiming to the
world that these globules of frigidity
were to be had for the sum Of 3
cents. the shoulders of the urchin
sagged as II with extreme sorrow.
In his big, velvety eyes one saw the
very essence of desire. But, alas! his
grimy little hand contained but q
solitary penny. oh! irony of fate
the tempting morsel 80 near and yet
so unobtainable. The next instant
there swung around the corner a
fairly well groomed young man. His
attention was caught and held. He
grinned. An instant later his face
sobered. The sight had probably
brought back to him visions of his
early childhood and nc inquired OF
the kid just what was the matter.
There 1eapt into the eyes Of the
youngster a hope-a hope perhaps
forlorn, but hope. Here might be
good Samaritan. 1t was barely
rossible that the man would buy a
SNOWFALL" and would sell him a
third OF it. Upon being questioned.
the youngster rather hesitatingly
stated tho case briefly and without
frills-he was cents shy Of bis

his gaze appeared 20 travel far. far
beyond the little near-tragedy that
was at his side. He dug down into
his pocket. brought out a coin and
bought four "snowballs." The kids
eyes grew wide with astonishment.
Was 1t possible there was person In
the world SO opulent. so rich that
he could buy four Of these frozen
dainties at one time? You could
hear issuing from his thin little
throat a sigh. An instant later the
sound was turned into a eurgle. a
miniature diapason Of ecstacy. for
the man had thrust the four balls
of highly colored shaved ice toward
him. A choked murmur Of thanks.

passed on, and as he turned the cor

Borers,

At present a good deal OF what is
progress. 1t is observable In both Of
the old parties.
There are republicans chafing under
their restrictions. They are not in po-
sition to break outright with their
party affiliations, but would be glad of
an opportunity. They are really try
ing to make an opportunity. They are
boring from within, in the hope OF
making republicanism untenable.
Their hearts and minds are set on
1924. The presidency is the prize.
There are democrats Of the same
stripe. They are boring from within.
They are moving with caution from
necessity. If they thought it prudent
they would raise the standard Of re.
volt right now. They are hoping it
will be safe in two years. and If 1t is
they will be heard from then.
II the republican borers and the
democratic borers succeed, can they
unite upon platform and policy Of
spoils distribution? They are not in
action for their health. Some are men
Of demonstrated ability and boundless
ambition, but have not been able to
realize upon their talents in their
present affiliations.
The game is interesting from all
angles. and, slyly as it is being played
at time Of much distraction, is not
escaping attention.

nomination does not as yet include

In a project such as this q certain
lapse of time is always essential to
permit settling of the alluvial matter
dredged from the stream and deposited
on the banks. But this need does not
justify a stretch Of years. The delays
in the Anacostia improvement have
not been due to this factor. but to the
, disposition to cut items of public ex.

are being Increased in others.
When the Anacostia improvement Is
completed Washington will be without
