Mr.. Ford's New viii to Power
New York World

(New York WORLDLY
An interview with Henry Ford in
the current Golfers deals with high
explosives and seems to mark the ex-
plosion of much of what Henry Ford
has previously advocated. Mr.. Ford
is against war because war is de-
structive," and his formula for keep
ing the peace is to make the United
States so UNNECESSARILY powerful in
the field of high explosive manufac-
turing that no other nation would
dare throw down a challenge. Then
we can be q world force for good"
says Mr.. Ford. The Kaiser and his
predecessors in the will to power
idea were never so frank.
The United States, Mr.. Ford saws.
lis already a superpower" in inter
national affairs. But that is not n
danger" for it seems that Mr. Ford
has suddenly discovered that this is
the only Nation in the world which is
not run for the benefit of financiers"
Mr.. Ford also reveals that he Is
planning to produce airplanes Sin 1t
commercial way" by the thousands
or by the millions" The next war is
going to be won in the air with high
explosives" and if Muscle Shoals is
developed as Mr.. Ford thinks it
should be developed. he will be able
to provide the whole armament. Some
who have given thought to the mat
ter believe chemical warfare twill
win the next war" but Mr.. Ford
doesn't mention that.
Perhaps the silliest statement Of all
is the Ford assurance that Muscle
Shoals could give us a supply of nj
trates for war purposes which would
exceed the capacity of all the rest Of
the world put together" Actually
the supply of nitrates depends on the
supply of power. Unused power re-
sources of several African and South
American rivers dwarf Muscle
Shoals. And with such fair warning.
what except the fiat of a benevolent
"superpower" would prevent such a
development of the competitive ar
mament idea?
Mr.. Ford means well, no doubt. The
pity is that his rambling can so cas-
lily be twisted to the purpose of the
National Security Leaguers, the jim
goes here and elsewhere. There is
need for an Oscar III, expedition TO
get Mr.. Ford out of the Napoleonic
complex before Christmas.

for shortly afterward, fortified as she
was with a responsible financial
equipment, and with the further aid
of DR.. Kemmerer, Colombia avoided
what ordinarily would have been "a
severe panic.
1.-THE general business situation in
Colombia continued good during the
month of June" reports our Com
mercial Attache at Bogota. "Ex-
change fuctuated very little, and the
peso was at a premium on the New
York market. Planting Of all crops is
progressing favorably." So it con-
tinues.
And yet notwithstanding such re-
ports as this, there are those who
insist on crying out from the hilltops
that the United States is selfishly
engaged in its own affairs and fur
thering it's own welfare with no
thought Of using tits brains, finances
and ingenuity in order that other
countries may profit.

boy. And the next minute he
cried "Oh, my" as fly bumped right
against Tommy Treetoad's nose.
Out darted the watchful little Tree
toad's sticky tongue and down his
throat travelled the fly before the
bunny boy had time to wink his
pinky eye.
How did you learn to make
yourself the same color as the tree
bark?'' asked the curious little
bunny, when he had recovered from
his surprise.
1T took many years for US toads
to learn how" answered Tommy
dreds of years ago, our ancestors
first began to try. Little by little
they learned how. Nova days it's
an easy thing for toad to change
color to match the tree on which he
clings."
II was just wondering how you
keep from slipping off," said the lit
tie rabbit. How do you manage
it?"
Il have little hollow places in my
feet-little suckers" replied Tommy
Treetoad. They keep my feet tight

Dear me-" exclaimed the little
rabbit. II wish Professor Jim Crow

And I've stored it in my head.

I'll write it in my Wisdom Book"
sang Professod Jim Grow, ana with
a flap of his wings, away he flew

as certain classes of our voters are
concerned.
For the moment group thinking Is
prevailing, but when the final say has
been said and the votes of November
4 counted, it is more than likely we
will discover that individualistic po-
litical viewpoints have again exerted
themselves and that the large pre-
ponderance of unon workers have
cast their ballots as heretofore, for
the candidates of one or the other OF
the major parties.
The policies of La Toilette and
Wheeler, on first thought, probably
have an appeal to various blocs Of our
voters. The appeal cannot last.
however, because of the blatant in
consistencies expressed by the lead
ers themselves. In fact, the Third
Party could hardly be called a party.
1t has no distinctive qualities. 1t
does not stand for anything. 1t has
not cut loose finally and wholly from
the two larger organizations.
Made up of disgruntled Republic
cans and Democrats, who still insist
that they are Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. the Third Party movement
tends not to alleviate but rather to
increase the muddled Congressional
atmosphere which has held in WASH
ington the last two years. Senator
Wheeler's statements the last few
days strengthen such possibilities.
He is the Third Party candidate for
vice president. He says he will work
for the reelection of Senator Walsh,
a Democrat. and in fact for the sue
cess of the whole Democratic ticket
in Montana. 1t Is difficult to play
drama and comedy at the same time
and that Mr.. Wheeler Is trying to do
Those voters who now are so loud
in the support of the political mai.
contents undoubtedly will see in time
the fallaciousness of the Third Party
policy, at least so far as the ring
leaders are concerned. Last year,
particularly, there was national
complaint over the lack of power OF
any party in Congress. The very evil
dent tactics of La Toilette and
Wheeler give promise Of befuddling
the situation further. They can have
no hope of winning the election SO
far as the Presidency ID concerned
and IL they are allowed to tear asun-
der the necessary solidarity of Con-
gress the nation will lose-not gain.
The government can only function
successfully and evenly when one
political party is in sole control. That
should be either the Democratic or
Republican since the party Of La Fol-
lette and Wheeler cannot hope for the
highest honor. For our citizens to
vote otherwise would he but to be-
cloud their own situation.

Editorial Comment

The story of Stenroos, the Finnish
runner, is inspiring. Forty years of
age, but perfectly fit, he stepped out
from behind the counter of mems
furnishing store at Helsingfors and
won the marathon at the Olympic
games in France. The Firms are
natural born runners and pedes-
trians. Their climate encourages
feats of hardihood and gymnastic
prowess. In their motion pictures a
climax that thrills the audience is
seen when hero and william ride the
logs that pass along the brawling
rivers which abound in Finland. The
games at Paris were not necessary
to demonstrate the sound physique
of the little northern nation; but it
will be deemed a cause for patriotic
celebration that a mere handful of
competitors from Finland all but car
ried off premier honors in COMPETE
ton with the athletic flower of the
southern lands.-Public Ledger.

DR.. sAReEkT's PRESCRIPTION
FOR HEALTH

A man who "practiced what he
preached" was DR.. Dudley A. Sar-
gent, president of the Sargent
School, who recently passed away
at the Sargent Camp at Peterbero,
N. H., where he had been Ill fer
several weeks. He firmly believed in
exercise for everybody and he lived
up to his belief. for in spite OF the
fact that he had fully equipped
gymnasium in connection with his
big school for physical instruction
for girls within A short walk OF his
house, he had a small gymnasium
in his own home. Every day found
him exercising on the horizontal
bar and using dumb bells and Indian
clubs. He was a fine example OF the
putting into actual practice that
which he SO strenuously urged
others to do.
When asked for some OF the
causes Of the failure of the man OF
sixty or seventy today to measure
up to the man of the same age
thirty-five years ago. DR.. Sargent,
in an interview a while ago, laid 1t
largely to the increasing love OF
luxury and dislike for anything that
savored of exercise. In addition to
the ever growing habit Of taking a
conveyance, instead of walking.
whenever one had a few steps to go,
he noted the fact that while hum
dreds of thousands turned out each
year to watch the college football
games, in which perhaps thirty to
forty players actually participated
per game, the crowd was content to
sit there and watch the thirty or
forty getting the only real benefit
out OF the game-namely, the exer-
else. So, too, with baseball and
athletics generally it's the few that
really get into action and the many
who do the looking on. he affirmed.
Born In Belfast and graduated
from Bowdoin College, Class Of 1875.
DIR. Sargent had a host of friends
all over the Pine Tree State. AS a
promoter Of physical training pro-
jects, an inventor Of modern gym
nasium apparatus and an author on
physical education subjects, his life
was devoted to the advancement of
his chosen field and his influence
will survive through years to come.

AIDING OUR FOREIGN
BRETHREN

The economic situation in Colom-
bia, South America. continues good,
according to the Commerce reports.
and a resume of the history OF the
financial reorganization of that coun-
try should prove interesting mas
much as the helping hand Of Uncle
Sam took an important part.
A little over a year ago Colombia
concluded to reorganize her finances.
following the first payment Of $5.00o.-
600 on account of the s25.000,000 ap-
propriated by Congress to secure a
sort OF quit claim. or clearance OF
title to Panama Canal properties.
Colombia had long been convinced
that she nd been dealt with unjustiy
in the course OF events leading up to
the separation of Panama and our
initiation of the canal project. The
discussion Of that subject at this late
date would be purely academic. but
Uncle Sam. rather than to have any
misunderstanding regarding the mat
ter. made the appropriation aforesaid.
and as a consequence Colombia is
once again our good friend.
The financial reorganization being
In order Colombia turned to the U. q.
State Department for cooperation and
the state Department recommended
the appointment of DR.. e. w. KEN
merer Of Princeton University, to
head o commission for this purpose.
To that recommendation Colombia
put her 20. X" and the commission
set out for the Keystone State Of
South America.
Three months after the Kemmerer
commission landed in Colombia It
submitted its report to the Colombian
Congress recommending the estab-
lishnent OF a bank OF the Republic.

Colombia responded with alacrity.
"A To-day special session Of the COL
ombian Congress was Immediately
called and a law covering 2sl octave
pages were drafted providing for a

| monastery to a patient in the St.
Mary's hospital, that he might ad-
| minister the last rites of the

Mrs. Sarah Dearborn OF Boston
| has duly qualified and taken up her
duties as policewoman at York
Beach. The placing of a policewo-
man on duty at the beach follows

poration last September. when it
| was decided that woman would

! the male police officers on duty. Mrs.
Dearborn, who lives in Boston dur

! Last week man tried to cash a
check in a Portland store. and be-

| customer had removed both the up
, per and lower plates and laid them
! on the counter. Just why the mer-
/ chant took a chance he doesn't

| the false teeth, for the bank refused
| to honor the check, and the mer-
| chant is wondering how his customer
| Is masticating his food. The mer-
! chant will consider any reasonable
| offer for the false teeth.
Lewiston and Auburn merchants
! are warned to be on the watch out
| for smartly attired woman of ap-
parent good breeding who is re-
| ported to have a novel scheme of
,, defrauding by means of worthless
checks. This woman is alleged to
have victimized several Portland
merchants with these checks to
! which in some cases the name of
| Kate Williams has been signed.
; The check so used is drawn in the
name of fictitious bank in some
distant city on forms apparently
especially printed for defrauding.
The police of several Maine cities
have been advised of the matter
and requested to be on the watch
for such checks.
