Henry Ford's friends make it plain that
they will insist that he run for president on
some kind of a ticket. They now say he may
become the prohibition candidate. Years ago,
when few believed the country ever would
become even nominally dry that ticket did
not amount to much. Whether it would now,
when prohibition has been regarded by most
persons as a non-political issue, IS doubtful.
Perhaps Mr. Fords friends are looking ia
vorably upon the prohibition ticket as anoth-
er way of putting their candidate forward as
an independent.

Wealth Flowing Into Europe.

Immigrants in the United States sent back
to their native lands in 1922 funds amounting
to approximately $40O000,000, or more than
ST 100000 for every calendar day OF the year,
according to a survey recently completed and
made public by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce The immigrants aggre-
gate remittances in 1922 show falling off OF
approximately $200O00000 from 1919, when
the funds sent home, due to war relief reach
ed $600,000,0 00 Remittances now are twice
as large as before the war.
There are in this country some l4,OOOOOO
persons of foreign birth, a large proportion
of whom regularly send money to their
friends abroad, either in drafts or currency
or postal orders" says the survey. The for
eign recipients are thus enabled to buy
American goods without giving their own
products in exchange, or else to buy foreign
goods and pay for them with drafts on Amer
lea. Another way of putting it would be to
say that the foreign born residents in Amer
lea when they send remittances to their
friends abroad practically consume foreign
goods by proxy instead of importing them to
consume in person. The result of such trans
actions is either to increase our exports OF
goods or to decrease our imports"

A number of prominent weekly newspa-

NJ. Slaton to re-enter public life. The
News is not informed as to whether the for-
naer governor has any ambition in that direc-

thousands of his fellow-citizens who would
again honor him. Mr.. Slaton's views on pub

needs in high positions men of his stamina

AS a general proposition The News believes
that instead of passing any new laws some

pedestrian is prma facie guilty of murder in

One OF the pleasing but surprising teat-
ures of the argument advanced in favor OF
mon intoxicants" is expressed in the lotus
dream that beer and light wines are non-in-
toxicating. There is not sane human beng
however, who believes there is any demand
for mon Intoxicating" beer or light wines or
that such a thing exists. Beer and light wines
have always been sold because they are IN
toxicating, and for no other reason, although
thew have not the Intoxicating power OF fer
mented liquors.

The failure of prohibition is not the fault
OF anv one man. 1t is because the public
mind is not yet educated up to the point where
it will stand for it. 1t may be some day, and
when it is prohibition will be unnecessary.
Until that time don't blame any one man, be-
cause he can't change the public mind.

According to the report OF the superintend-

S, 478,602 to maintain SOLO prisoners in its
penitentiares during the fiscal year 1923. In
the face of this there are some in Georgia who
favor a central penitentiary for this state
fashioned after federal prisons. Georgia pays
less from the public treasury for ad-
ministering its penitentiary system and for
the care of its convicts than any other state;
in fact, the cost to many states with half the
number of prisoners, and less, is several
times as much. In Georgia, too, the convicts
are employed at work from which the entire
public derives benefit. The people as whole
seem very well satisfied with the present sit
uation as regards their penal affairs.

Diary
By La Monte Waldron.

AN IL spose its kind of a
nut thing to do, but I'm going
o. to keep a diary this year, a
kind of heart throb book. So here
goes. This is Jan. 1, a rotten
day, sloppy and gloomy. Didn't
git out the hay till near noon.
Went to the movies tonight with
Chef and saw lovely fillum,
Herby Halfover in Human
Spiders" Way he knocked 'em
for a goal was thrill, I'll say.
Didn't think much of the dame he
picked for his sweetie, kinda
mushy. Chef wanted me to smoke
q cigaroot on the way home, but
I bawled him out plenty. None
of that society stuff for me.
Washed out a few things in my
room and tumbled into the bailed
sawdust. Work again tomorrer.
o gee!
Jan. 4.-Forgot about writin in
diary till tonight. Sumpin Madge
said at dance of Amalgamated
winder Washers BENEVOLENT AS
ISOLATION made me think OF it.
Nothin much to put in it amy
way. Danced with Chef sixteen
times and with four strange guys
whose names slipped my ear. One
stepped repeated on my new pat
ent leather dogs. Could of handed
him one but had to smile. Such
Is life. Home just as milkmen
started theyr gay careers for the
day. Nearly fell asleep going up
stairs. Work again tomorrer.
Wow.
Jan. Skipped you some more
diary for a couple days. Can't
seem to git the habit. My young
life amt worth writin about amy
way, but this book cost two bits
and gotta make use Of it. Jessie
is trying to grab off Chef. Think
of her, the nerve! Why her face
is covered with rooge you'd think
she had scarlet fever. I'll read
the riet act to her If she don't
lay off. All men is fools and even
Chef might fall for them vampy
eyes If don't watch my step. She
sure does know how to flash her
lamps at any poor fish that has
the price Of a feed. But don't
think Chef is stuck on her style.
Anyway let her pick one of her
own and not come trying grand
larceny on me. Well, daytime
again. More work tomorrer! Gosh,
how do hate it,
