MORE ABOUT HENRY

TT HENRY FORD Is planning TO use what
| power he has :" defeat the Senators who
voted TO seat Newberry the approaching cam
pa ign is going to be unusually interesting.
lie has had an agent in Pennsylvania
looking over the ground in order 70 dis
cover how best to prevent Senator Pepper
from being elected. And word comes from
New Jersey that lie is planning to stump
that State In opposition to the re election
OF Senator Fre'nShuysen.
If Mr.. Ford stumps New Jersey he will
probably do it vcariously, for he is not n
public speaker. lie would find no difficulty
in securing men willing to talk for him and
10 say the things which he would like to
have said. There are Democrats who would
be delighted to take the platform against
FreIinghuysen for so much speech and
their expenses. Mr. Ford has the money,
and il he is willing to open his purse he
may be surprised to discover how easy 1t is
to find men willing to help him empty it.
But the spectacle OF Henry spending
money to defeat Senators who voted to seat
A man in behalf Of whose election money
was spent would add to the gayety OF ma.
tions. while his activities would help rather
than hurt the man against whom they were
directed.
There has been good deal OF Ford propa-
eanda In recent months. One OF the forms
IL has taken has been the publication Of
hook called "The Truth About Henry
Ford" in which tho statement is made that
he gave 500 900 900 of his war profits to
the Government.
Secretary Mellon has just asked Mr.. Ford
how the gift was made. lie SAYS he can
find no record Of it in the hooks OF the
Treasury Department and that AZ II matter
of fact the Bureau Of Internal Revenue has
been unable during the three years since the
war ended to find out Just what his war
profits had been.
Mr. Ford's reply to Secretary Mellon
will be awaited with considerable interest
not only in the Treasury Department, but in
the Offices of every large manufacturing
plant which was occupied With war work.

PROGRESS AND THE FAIR

ClNCE the selection Of site for the ialr
- the project seems to be moving forward
In the right direction.
The Pennsylvania delegation In Congress
has voted in formal caucus to support the
necessary legislation in Washington. They
were expected to do this ms n matter Of
course, but they could do nothing until there
was something definite about which to talk
to the other members Of Congress.
Representative business men in this city
have just been pledging their support to
the enterprise and talking about the kind
Of fair for which arrangements should be
made.
1t is accepted as a matter Of course that
Il should show the progress that has been
made since the Centennial celebration here
in 1876. The electric railway. the te'e-
phone. the phonograph. the automobile. the
airship and wireless telesraphy have all been
invented or developed in the last fifty years.
And the typewriter was in its infancy in
1876. and the linotype machine. which has
made possible the large newspapers of the
present day. was only an inventors dream,
The steel framed building has been de-
vsloped. and so have the turbine engine aud
the Diesel motor. And the moving pictures
are less than twenty five years old
II the fair did nothing but exhibit the
progress in invention, it would be an in
spiration to ingenious young men to carry
still further the perfection of devices for
the comfort. convenience and entertainment
of humanity.

FRIENDS AND THE TREATIES

THE Society of Friends, Orthodox branch,
i now holding its Yearly Meeting in this
city, has discovered a spiritual kinship be-
tween the achievements Of the Washington
Conference and the professions of the
Quaker faith. Messages OF approval con-
graduating President Harding and his Cabi-
net for their accomplishments on the road
to durable peace have been authorized in
the current session.
What will Mr.. Borah. Mr.. johnson. Mr..

The Friends have failed to sense any hor-

AN oASISoF BEAUTY

yIIHILE 1t cannot be said that the i'm
w munity Of the Upper Wissahickon from
automobiles is very seriously threatened. the
newly formed Philadelphia Riders and
Drivers Association is taking no chances.
A campaign has been launched on behalf
81 the inviolacy Of unique and pictorially
romantic survival Of less strenuous past.
The association calls for adequate sprinkling
q Its sanctuary this summer and for the
rebuilding Of water -troushs along the way.
Motorists, however enthusiastic. have
scant cause to resent this program. The
Upper Wissa nickon has earned its gracious
seclusion. That exceptional specimen. the
modern pedestrian. is comparatively safe
there. The occasional equestrians are en-.
titled to the privileges which they have so
long retained.
For Philsdelphians at least there should be
pleasure in the thought that not every link
with the seasoned charm and suavity of an
elder day Is severed. As an antidote for
shattered nerves. as stimulus to the sense
Of beauty, a leisurely stroll through tho
miniature Alpine gorge of the Wissahickon
may still be heartily recommended.

Lord Bryce. one Of the greatest friends OF
democracy in its modern forms. predicted
that the infusion into the population Of the
United States Of a large foreign element
would inevitably weaken the spirit Of the
country and make way for revival OF
tyranny easy. He was thinking of certain
southern and middle Europeans used to
taking orders and bowling meekly at any sign
Of authority. The southern Europeans have
come. But the strange thing is to observe
their traits reflected more and more clearly
in the native population. ...
Is democracy worn out. enervated, dis.
pirited and without the vitality necessary to
go on? Must It set UP its own tyrants to
keep It in order? Must 1t have inquisitors
and ccnsors and oppressors Of Its own to
rule its mind and its morals? Is It made.
quate to human need and human progress?
Prohibition of whisky would be a good
thing. But would It be so good thing that
We should barter our national soul to bring
1t a few years nearer? Wouldn't voluntary
prohibition by general enlightenment be at
once preferable and more Of a practical
success? Is II possible to imagine a moral
equivalent Of the Anti Saloon League? Was
that equivalent present in the sentiment
which, unniled. was gradually drying up the
country before the days Of volsteadism?
Force is always dangerous and in the long
run It can be of no good use. Force applied
to the regulation Of opinion and conduct
will always be useless or worse. And when
the people permit any minority or any group
to take out Of their hands the right to govern
and make rules and laws they always pay
bitterly for their negligence.
There Is no privacy any more. You can
have no secrets from Government official
You must tell what you earn, what you
spend and how and why. The Anti Saloon
League was wildly eager to 60 bursting into
the privacy Of your house on rnlding expe-
ditions, and It was restrained only because
of some last flicker Of courage in Congress.
If you want to know what the new
tyranny can do when it isn't watched, read
the report just issued By a Senate committee
which spent almost year looking into the
activities of the Department OF Justice. Mr..
Walsh chairman of the committee was n
Democrat. and Mr.. Wilson and Attorney
General Palmer were Democrats who gave
the Governments secret police the power to

and left record as black with injustice and
cruelty as any written in the days of the
secret police Of the Cars.

PHILADELPHIA As HOST

TT IS easy TO visualize the decorative pos
i ters. picturing Philadelphia as gener-
Gus host. inviting the world to spend the
summer Of 1925 in this community. Glo-
rious is the conception of representatives Of
every race and people thronsing through fair
gates, eager to view the concentrated mar
vels Of modern civilization.
But what will become of the crowd and
where will it lay it's collective head at the
close Of each day? On this subject imagi-
nations have not yet been conspicuously
productive. 1t has been suggested to the
Exposition Association that increased ac.
commodations for visitors might be pro-
vided were the fair management to take
over dozen or more apartment houses in
the heart Of the city.
The idea is linked with the thought that
the regular tenants should be persuaded 70
abandon their homes during the eight months
ot the show. The proposal is Ingenious
The only drawback is the dilemma Of those
persons who are to be ousted through the
force Of moral and civic pressure from their
ordinary quarters.
Philadelphia can take care Of the fair
visitors if Philadclphians move out. That
much is incontestable.
Equally certain. however. is tho inability
Of this community 10 furnish suitable quar-
teTS DOtu TOT us Tt>luentS ana
the desired influx CT strangers unless large
scale preparations are made The city is
dcplorably lacking in hotel accommoda tions.
Under normal conditions it is crowded Tho
fair will bring chaos unless the responsible
ties Of the case have been seriously recog.
nizcd and important reforms have been
effected.
1t is not too carly to consider Philadel-
phia as host. But its gesture Of hospitality
will prove mocking il foresight is not applied
and building nor started until within q few
months of the Sesqui- Centennial The
time to start has arrived
