FORD GIVES UP SHOALS
 PLAN AT LAST

In declining to continue as a bid- der for Muscle Shoals, Henry Ford contrasts governmental business with private enterprise in a manner not to the advantage of the former.
 Now let them make us a bid," he says in an interview in Golfers Weekly. And they will not have to wait three years for an answer. We can tell them in five minutes"
 In other words, Ford indicates his organization will come to a decision in five minutes when the govern- ment could not come to,a decision in three years.
 Yet the criticism is not quite fair. The Ford offer was regarded as virtual gift of highly valuable prop erty to the Ford company, and no government responsive to the people could accept it off hand without in curing the wrath of the people back home. Ford was dealing with rep resentatives of the people, not the direct aowners of the Muscle Shoals property. On the other hand, in of fering the property to Ford the gov ernment would be dealing with an organization directly controlling its finances and in a position to make quick decision one way or the other.
 The motor magnate says that the experience of his plant is that it can manufacture electric energy cheaper at it's River Rouge plant than could be done at Muscle Shoals. This state ment is hard to credit.
 Ford seems to be a bit peevish about the matter. He has some good contentious to offer, but when he claims power in large quantities can be manufactured cheaper from coal at River Rouge, after the coal is hauled hundreds of miles from the Ford mines in Kentucky, he hands us considerable to think about.

to be similar by the few who saw him, Dispatches say that the state policem~ held up hs hand as an order for the bandit to stop his ma chine, and was shot to death in reply
 In dealing with robbers. especially the kind who break safes and rob banks, there should be no need to hold up hands or give a gentlemanly warning, Vermin of this type are not entitled to the ordinary warn ings, They should be shot on sight. No police officer will ever be con- victed of murder for killing a bandit caught in the act of robbing.
 The Pennsylvania state, trooptr lost his life because he attempted to arrest the supposed Chapman in the ordinary manner, This is too stiff a price 10 pay, A police officers life is incomparably more valuable to sc- ciety than that of a bandit. When crook is caught red-handed in a robbery or a hold-up, it is wisdom to shoot him before he has a chance to add murder to his other crimes. When crooks learn they will be shot on sight if caught at their nefarious undertaking there will be fewer crooks.

SPECIAL ELECTION FOR A NEM SENATOR

Ii appears that special election will be necessary in Connecticut to choose a successor to Senator Bran- degee. Such special election would not be necessary if the senatorial choicefwould be placed on the ballots for the regular election Nov. f, but the legal perliminaries prevent.
 Governor TempIeton cannot make a temporary senatorial appointment, it is said, because the leE Eislature has not granted him such authority. Both parties will have to hold state conventions to name candidates for the nomination, and caucuses will have to be held in the meantime. The chances are that the special election will beheld between now and De- cember, the intention being to have a new senator elected to take his seat at the December term of con- gress, which may have to settle the possible and probable electoral dead lock.
 As Representative Mudd of Mary land, a Republican. died Sunday, the Republican national organization is keenly interested in the outcome in that state as well as in Connecticut. The Maryland congressional delega- ton stood and between the two major parties. But there is doubt whether a Republican can be elect ed to take Mudd's place. This would have a serious effect insthe house in case of an electoral deadlock.
 III health as well as bad invest ments probably caused Senator Bran- degee to seek death. During the last eighteen months the senator became a changed man. it Is stated. He shut  himself up in his home and saw few of his former friends, declining all dinner invitations except those from MT. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth' A year ago. it IS stated, he was we'll tailored and still had the vigorous personality of his earlier days But a month ago, when he appeared on the street, friends commented upon the fact that he was stooping' his face was wan and drawn and his clothes lacked their former natty spperahce.
 The senator's ending is one Of those tragedies Of life that have harassed mankind since the begin ming of time. The turn of an honor- ed career is sorrowful to contem- plate. It is best to draw the curtain.

4 STRAW POLL THAT IS MADE OF STRAW

As is generally known, the straw poll of the Literary Digest favors Coolidge. But the reliability of this straw vote, and the methods followed to obtain it, have gone under fire and 1t is claimed the ballots have been sent 10 2.S Republicans to one Democrat.
 The ballots arc said to be sent to persons whose names are in direc- tories, especially telephone director ies. Large classes of voters are not listed in telephone directories.
 When it is considered that the Digests poll on the Mellon tax plan turned out 10 be wrong, it is eSdent that too much reliance need not be placed in i;.

JUST A SMALL GLIMPSE OF ANATOLE FRANCE

It is said of Anatole France, the eminent French writer who died in France few dags ago, that he wrote with painstaking care and did his best work in correcting proofs. When he received his first proofs from the printer it was but the be- ginning of his efforts. He ruthlessly changed sentences, and with shears changed the position and sequence of sentences and paragraphs. When he was through the entire business usually had to be set up in type all over again.
 Nobody but an eminent writer could maintain such a system and not cause howls of rage from his publishers. It costs money to put words into type. and it costs just double 10 reset book in that man. ner. not to mention the cost of the fussy work involved,
 This method of whipping master pieces into shape appears to have been a favorite with many famous writers. To an observer it would ap- pear easier 10 make serious correc- tions" in the original manuscript; but ten to one they wrote without bothering 10 read the original man. uscript very carefully and then when the printers proof was produced the real writing commenced.
 What an advantage over an ex- tcmporancous speaker, who forms, fashions and uttcrs his sentences as he speaks and has no opportunity to make correction.
 Yet many of the writers who made such extraoydinary corrections in their proofs at the same time were entertaining speakers when occasion demanded. To listen to them speak one would never think they would be so overly careful when they substi- tutcd the per for the tongue,

CITY JOINS IN TRIBUTE TO DEAD OFFICER

Tributes paid 10 the life of Patrol man James Skelly at his funeral voiced the feeling of the entire citi- zenry. Officer Skelly came to hts death while serving the city in a most dangerous calling; when the call of duty came he flew to the scene of robbery without a moments hesitation and faced one of the most desperate and resourceful criminals of modern times without a culver. For IS years he had served the city well, honorably wearing the blue of Its authority and coming to his death when attempting to enforce the authority vested in him to pro- tect the life and property of citizens.
 Policemen too frequently are taken for granted Few pause to consider the incessant danger that is attach ed to thelr calling. The first thing a citizen thinks of doing when faced by an untoward circumstance is to call a policeman. They are the straighteners out of trouble and the men who are always ready at a moments notice to face a dangerous situation and conquer it.
 The name of Patrolman Skclly will go down in the history of the city as that of hero who fell in the line of duty an unflinching servant of the public and a mai of probity. He was credit to the entire police depart ment.

1900 NEW BUS LINES START
 THIS YEAR.

The manufacture of motor busses is business that is enjoyed un- hearded popularity. Nearly 160O bus lines have been established since the first of the year and the companies and individuals starting these new enterprises have purchas- ed more than 5iO0 busses, a large proportion being of the de luxe Pullman comfort" pattern and costing thousands of dollars each. The 5400 .busses purchased this year have cost more than s3O,O0O,OO0.
 Manifestly, all this money has not been paid to the bus manufacturers in cash; most of 1t Is borrowed money, over and above the operat- ing funds secured through the sale of stock, mostly 10 local capitalists in the communities served by the bus companies.
 The amount of money tied up In busses now runs high in the mill ions, and some of the bus lines may not prove successful. It is said that some of them are being established well in advance of the demand for their services
 The bus lines have one advantage in case of failure not possessed by either the trolley or steam roads, they can move to new field with out additional expense. Possibly for this reason bus line promoters have easy sailing,

The Joy of Children


 Mrs. Brown has three children, Her husband is dead. She is 70 years old. She lives in the country. Cora, the oldest daughter lives a couple of hundred miles away. She is married. Her husband is rich. She writes to her mother twice a year and comes to see her once in several years. She always brings several dresses for her mother that she no longer wants to wear herself. She tells her mother that with a little making over they will fit nicely and look very well.
 John, the oldest son, is in China. He writes home whenever he needs money, and his mothers always sends him what she can.
 Pearl is married. Her husband is doing fairly well. She spends part of each summer with her mother, and her children (numbering seven) raise Cain and tear things to pieces generally. As soon as 1t commences to get little chilly she rushes back to the city after telling her mother she has had a fine time and telling all the children to tell her the same, which they do.
 Mrs. Brown sits at home and reads articles on the great comfort of chil- dren as a mother grows old.
