Great Britain.

IN the finish his upon the people has been too
strong for hts conservative enemies who shudder
at some OF his theories.

OF the single tax and under the very open support
Of the man who financed the single tax campaign

He obtained power BY promising 20 tax the great
hunting preserves and landed estates OF dukes and
earis into use only the war delayed that program
and accomplished By q different and more tragic
means what he had hoped for.
The British government would welcome the so
viets into the trade Of the world under the present
form Of government
The one limitation upon trade agreements and
opening Of commerce Is that its government show
spirit Of honesty by assuming the debts OF the muir
dsred cars government Il It pretend to be the
successor TO that government

Hs people did not rebel when the debts made in
their name were being contracted.

4 BAD GUESS.

marked Chicago lady 70 whom a jury OF males
had awarded dollar as damages for injury 70

altar.
The lady guesses badly. She did not stop
realize that the who seeks a cash valuation
for affections belonged TO an age which foreign
TO that OF IN the jury box
Il Is logical thing that the ancient view OF this
particular litigation should shift with the greater
freedom and greater opportunity Of women.
This particular verdict means nothing. but It is
significant that IN most OF the recent Of this
character the verdcts been for purely nominal
sums
The exception has been those cases brought by
beautiful chorus girls against aged mlllionaires in
which same theory that gives the normal woman
a dollar grants these others the thousands they
missed.
The normal woman marres for love and affection
Alliances Of youthful beauties with aged Of
wealth may be assumed to be on a different basis
Of expected rewards.
The old breach Of promise litigation grew in the
day when marriage the single profession for
women and the girl once fitted might reasonably
urge that her material chances for protection were
lessened. There could be a measure Of damages.
That day has Women in the jury box would
recognize it better than do men. for they would
know that the woman who escapes matrlmony with
a who has lasting love should count herself
lucky instead Of unfortunate
They would know, too, that the whole world is
open today to woman and that no business and no
profession is closed to her. She can climb as high
she wishes 10 60 far her ambition leads
Marriage is no longer the sole escape from char
ity. no longer an avocatOn.
II is the browning incident OF life but IT'S rewards

glorious incident but all or life is becoming
a more sacred matter as women gain new equality
IN the realms OF industry and of government
The Tilted lady would have gained nothing by
having such a tried before her own sex They
would have rointedly told her that the world is
that affection which fades the trip to
the altar is a pretty poor foundation for happiness
and that in these days the modern woman prizes
her independence and her womanhood too highly
to endeavor capitalize them. The day parasite
cal life IS passing.

FORD SERVICE.

Faced by a choice OF two very unpaatable acts
the directing powers Of the present administration
has lodged the Scylla Of recognizing Henry Ford,
only engulfed in the Charybdis of establishing
government ownership Of utilities as a precedent
Pity those Old Guard senators who were faced by
the offer OF Henry TO complete and operate
Muscle Shoals for the benefit of the people
Ford to them is anathema. He had shocked them
beyond belief when he nearly captured both nomi-
nations In Michigan and he added TO his political
crimes when he forced the Newberry issue and stood
them up against the guns Of the people when they
forced to approve corruption and the purchase
OF senate seats

millions towards the creation of great enter

been signaliy efficient has II resulted in lifting

enemies OF Ford.

The thoughtless used to whisper that

He wasn't built for battle. he was

He was very meek Of manner and his
speech was always mild.
But when youngsters gathered round
him he was never known 20 rail
To hold their rapt attention with q

They called him Uncle William and
they never seemed TO care
That his coat was old and shiny and
his trousers thin and bare;
They didn't know he wasn't making

They loved him though he hadn't
any claim 20 world renown;
He could lead them on adventures
down the happiest Of trails,
And was richer than a banker when
IL came 20 fairy tales.
