AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

Henry Ford recently announcer
that he would close his great auto
mobile works because the steel trust
wants to rob his in the price of the
raw material that goes into the con-
struction of his cars. He asserts
that he will not be party to such
profiteering.
Although the closing of the Ford
industry will bring hardships to
millions of people, the stand taken
by Mr.. Ford is commendable.
AS long as the American people
meekly submit to being robbed the
robbers viii pluck them to the bone.
And even the bone may soon dis
appear along with the, pound OF
flesh.

Some people say that politeness
costs nothing. But is that entirely
true?
1t is possible that a chronic crouch
may at times assume a certain degree
of courtesy. but it is invariably at
the cost of a tremendous effort.
His natural inclination is to growl,
and grumble, and snarl, and such
people invariably follow the bent of
their inclinations. To suddenly as
sumo an attitude of politeness is
foreign to his nature. 1t requires
an effort, and no effort is without
its cost.
But the greater the cost the more
precious the jewel.
Give the polite crouch the credit
that is his due.
We all have faults, but in our own

possible to follow the minds of

man Inderlied, Negro mail clerk who
captured Smiling Roy Gardner, mail
bandit, today received a check for
$4, 800 from the postoffice department.
Although the reward offered for the
capture of Gardner was $1,000, no eN-

stead of $1,000.

after the postmaster general had of
fered the $1,000 reward to all EN-
ployes of the service for the capture
of mail robbers. Inderlied, unarmed,
overpowered Roy Gardner after the
bandit had placed gun at his middle
and demanded him to lie on the floor
of the mail car. The capture took place
lust before the 6 o'clock train was
scheduled to leave the Santa Fe de-
