FORD GETS P-EVTsH.

ITENHY RoRDS unprovoked attack on Secretary Of
Ia War Weeks because the latter has not promptly
accepted his offer for the Muscle Shoals power project
not likely TO improve his standing with gent people
When the Muscle Shoals development is completed it
win represent investment OF close to s9OOOOOOO Of the
peoples money
Under the methods OF the former administration, It
would have been merely item in the days work to
toss IT of 10 the first bdd,r, but Mr. Weeks business
and intends TO that any contract made for the
private operation OF Muscle Shoals shall be the best OBJ
tainabe from the point Of view OF The public.
Moreover Secretary Weeks is wholly without power Ia
dispose of real estate without the express approval
Congress Not only is that matter OF general law bu
in making the appropriation under which the Musc,
Shoals work done, Congress stipulated that It
TO be used solely for the needs OF the government
for the benefit Of any private enterprise
obviously It would have been gross violation OF The
law the part OF Secretary Weeks had he assumed the
Responsibility Of disposing OF The power plant to Mr..
Ford anybody else.
+ 1t is the expressed intention OF Mr. Weeks TO lay
whole matter before Congress- together with his COM
menis the various bids that have been received
It then win be up to Congress to take such action it
sees IT. and issue its instructions to the Secretary OF
War
Meanwhile Henry Ford would better compose his soul
in patience and not attempt public resentment
against official because he refuses exercise
thority OF which he is not possessed.
Mr. Ford protests that II he is permitted 10 take over
the Muscle Shoals plant he will operate It without per-
ona profit and solely for the benefit OF the agricultural
interests but his irritation over the delay indicates that
his intentions not wholly altruistc.
He did not become the richest in America by pure
atruism

Where the Mock Has
Been Put in Democracy
CFrom the National Republican,

Addressing his colleagues in the
Senate with characteristic Southern
courtesy and statesmanlike restraint,
Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
said;
You are liars in your hearts
when you say that a quarter of q
million dollars can be honestly ex-
pended in any election in any State
in this Union"
There has never been a general
election in which Senator Williams
party has not spent more than a
quarter OF a million dollars in more
than one State of this Union. and
contrary to the statement OF Senator
Williams. that amount OF money
could be spent in a number of States
in national campaign without the
slightest element of dishonesty en-
tering into the canvass.
In the State of Mississippi. where
free elections do not exist and rep
resentative government has been
overthrown. It would be impossible
to spend much money in a cam
paign otherwise than dishonesty
Political issues are not discussed in
Mississippi; two sides OF political
questions are not ,presented Repub-
lican newspapers are not counten-
anced; the Misunderstanding election
laws fastened on the State by a
Democratic machine Of which Sena-
tor Williams is the beneficiary,
make elections a mere formality
having no significance as an ex-
preston Of public sentiment. Usually
about 10000 voters come to the
polls in Mississippi; the laws and
practices of the dominant political
oligarchy keep the rest Of the people
away from the polls. OF course II
is difhcult for n Mississippi senator
to understand how very much
money could be spent in party or
ganization or political education be-

as to the actual outcome of the pres

ton it would be amalgamated in
short order into a great political
unit that would sweep everything

In 1912 the Progressive party had
no such expansion and spontaneous
movement. 1t came as response
to an extraordinary leadership and
as such was totally unlike the presen'
great tidal wave movement which
without leadership has startled and
stunned the country.
In its present state OF assertiveness
IL is taking on Senator Kenyon OF
Iowa for the time being as its leader.
How far he will go with It or how
long he will last or whether this in
surgency will straightway organize
into a great radical party is any
mans guess. That il has all the ele-
ments necessary for such organiza-
tiOn is certain. and II is equally Ger

The old issues that made for party

national life have all passed into
history save that OF the tariff, which
is now as necessary TO the industria

had genuine issues between the Dem
ocratic party and the Republican
party we should have better politics

in that State. A quarter OF a mill
lion dollars would be three dollars
per voter in Mississippi, and 1t
would be money thrown away in a
commonwealth where nothing is left
10 chance or public opinion at the
polls.
But in the State OF Michigan a
quarter OF million dollars would
only be 25 cents per voter; not a

In New York State it would be
eight cents per voter; enough to

The New York Herald printed an
Illuminating, exclusive news article
yesterday from its Washington
Bureau on the political insurgency
which now has both the Democratic
and the Republican parties by the
throat. Though it has not yet
taken on definite shape as a distinct
political organization. it is today
nevertheless. absolutely and wholly
dominant in our national legislation.
Its voting strength on radical
measures is well nigh a hundred per
cent OF the members of both
branches of Congress. Unorganized
force though It is, its power in radi-
cal legislation totally eclipses the
power OF any organized or unorgan-
lied force hitherto known to the ma
tional Capitol. There has never
been anything in any way compare
BILE to it.
This force. made up OF members
from the Democratic and Republican
parties obedient to the insurgent
lash, already defies the President and
sneers at party control. This young
colossus first appeared on the hori-
zon only a few months ago as a
farm bloc. 1t is vastly more than a
farm bloc today.
Ii is by way OF embracing, II. in
deed, II does not already embrace.

of our American citizenship out of
sympathy with what is. all those dis
gruntled with our politics or with

Gals OF whatever creed. save the
ultra-extremists. To these may per
haps be added the forces Of organized
labor. Then. too. there are large
contingents OF the Roosevelt Pro-
gressive OF 1912 and the William
Jennings Bryan Populists Of 1896
who have never been content to
march under the banner OF either the
Republican or Democratic party .
For more than a quarter OF a cen
tury America has been taking on rad
icalism. The farmers, except for
pOpulistic outbreaks now and again
when things have gone badly with
them. have been the -bulwark of con-
servativism. For the most part
they were property owners. They
had something 10 conserve, hence
their conservatism.
