Ford and the Prohibitionists.

Virgil y. Heushaw, chairman of the
prohibition parity national committee,
has issued the, statement from Los
Angeles that Henry Ford will get the
presidential nomination of the prohibit
ton party. Interesting, indeed. If il
turns our to be a true prophecy. OEe
can imagine the leaders of the !demo-
cratic and republican parties ejacuIat-
ing Pine that's iust the place for

Ene FARMER Is supposed to be strong
for Mr. Ford. and the farmer is gen

staunch party man, either a repub-
lican or a denpGcrat, and as he has
never given support to the prohibition
party he is likely to be Tess Inclined
to do SO now. when there are great
questions Of policy pending in Congress
in which he is interested. He may be
expected TO make his choice for Presi-

Such considerations as these are
calculated to cause iabilatto1 among g
the old'party leaders over the prospect
of Ford running for President at the
head of the prohibition party's ticket.

Few Editors Able to Agree
Married Women Are Slaves

ure for her contribution 10 the noisy
and arrogant wing of suffrage
1t is .ne opinion of the Jersey City
Journal that mo doubt an equally strong
case could be made out for the PROPOSE
tion that married men also are slaves
Il all depends on the point of view
That likewise is very much the opinion
of the Detroit Free Press. which points
out there are millions of average men
in the world who are just about able to
make ends meet. They are conscientious
persons, feeling the usual affection for
their families. and having strong re-
gard for the obligations which they as
suIned when they married and became
fathers. They have in a sense been
the slaves of marriage quite as much
as their better halves, but Ii has not
been observed that the outlook for hard
work and small returns ever discourages
the youth of either sex when marrying
time comes. They seem TO think the
game is worth the candle and something
Belmont's doubts. they are right about
it."
II is a case of "slaves ALL" as the
Lansing State journal sees it. recalling
that from the cradle to the grave" we
are more or less in a sort of slavery to
our environment. but the State Journal
is convinced "the statements by Mrs.
Belmont might be termed as of the
'bunkum class The more we hear from
some suffrage leaders the more We won
der how the cause was able to triumph
so easily in the face of its champions"
Agreeing there are married slaves.
but that does not prove Mrs. Belmont's
case, the Worcester Gazette points
out marriage is neither a failure nor
a form OF slavery. Some married folks
are failures, though, and some are
slaves, not partners. But human weak
ness. not marriage, must carry the
blame for this" Although Mrs Bel
mont insists among the men who op-
pose her views only are to be found
the Small-town man, and the benighteG
church organization the Cincinnati
Enquirer insists there still continue
to be, even in this sophisticated world,
youths and maids who dream dreams
and see visions which include the haven
OF home where baby feet patter and
baby laughter rings" 1t is pretty hard
to see Mrs. Belmont's girl" the Grand
Rapids Press suggests, or to find her
"yearning for the good old days spent
in freedom before the sewing machine
or in the glove factory" vet 1t is en-
tirely possible, in the opinion of the
Chattanooga Times, that Mrs. Belmont
is ahead of her times, but who will saw
that she is not blazing the way along
which she and her kind are going 10
drive cowardly and spineIess politicians
just as she and the suffrage hunting
feminists did in forcing through the
nineteenth amendment?''
