Something New and Unique.

The Ford boom is sui generis. We
have had nothing like it in our politi.
cal affairs.
The contention of the Fordites is
that the existing American emergency
is non-politicaI. What, they inquire,
has politics to do with it. Why ask
a remedy of politics? ..-
The emergency, we are told, is a
business matter, and should be treated
as such. Put business on it's feet
again. Resume production and dis
tribution on a generous scale, and all
will be well again.
Who for director-in-ch of the job?
Who but the man standing among the
foremost of business captains, and in
the business world has accomplished
wonders? Henry Ford, we are remind
ed, represents all that is clean and
helpful and successful in business.
and. we are assured that with him in
the White House every man would
have a paying job, and business would
soon be humming again.
Hence the boom, the slogan: Henry
Ford for President, and America again
in keller!
1t is admitted that Mr.. Ford is not
a politician, and cares little, and
knows less, about the game. He does
not desire strictly party nomination
on a party platform. That would tie
his hands, and prevent the exercise of
his best talents.
Why, then, liken him, as his boom
ers are doing, to Mr.. Lincoln? What
likeness exists? Mr.. Lincoln was a
party man. Never was there stouter
one. He was twice elected President
on party pledges, and did his best
while in Office to redeem them. He
was a politieian-the master Ameri-
can politician of his generation, and
appraised by historians as one OF the
master politicians Of all times and
countries. Mr.. Lincoln at the head OF
the great Ford enterprise at Detroit
would probably fail. Would Mr. Ford
at any better in the White House?

Here's Minority Rule

(Clnclnnati Enquirer)
Those who have been conducting
the agitations for restrictions upon
the power of the United States Su-
preme Court may study with profit a
recent decision of the Ohio supreme
court. Five judges of the Buckeye
tribunal hold that a statute enacted
by the general assembly is violative
of the constitution of Ohio. Two
judges hold it is not violative. Under
the Ohio constitution the two pre-
vail. 1t further may be said,
parenthetically, that an intermediate
court of three judges previously had
made finding identical with the mi
noritH of the supreme court. And It
may be noted further that earlier
still the trial court agrees with what
is now the majority of the supreme
court. The final score appears to be
six judges on enc side and five on
the other. the six losing and the five
establishing their doctrine as sound
law.
Is this situation desirable? Be-
lore they knew what it really implied
the people voted for a constitutional
amendment which saws that no
statute shall be held to be uncon-
stitutional or invalid save by con-
currence of at least six of the seven
judges of the court. Whether thew
would reaffirm their action today re-
mains to be determined. The amend
ment was an experiment. Time will
have enabled them to Judge and the
verdict of the people themselves
might again be obtained.
