NNE of the strangest anomalies of modern times the
realm established by Henry Ford.
- Strange to say, do not find many criticisms Of
him in the press.
Ordinarily any great accumulation Of money would be
soundly hated by those who do not have it.
Mr. Ford does to have gone out of his way to
of many bitter shot by the newspapers and he
pretty generally to have been deficient in the arts of
modifying public opinion.
But he has always treated labor than fairly and
apparently, stands very well among the wage earners.
YET writer points out that he is worth probably
than billion His profits last year hundred
and fifteen million, which the earning power Of two
billions
There has been private fortune like this before in
the history of the world.
It is worth more than the wealth of nation.
Human says that it is worth twice much Bolivia
Ecuador or Latva It is worth much all Bulgaria,
Finland or Uruguay. It is worth much Greece
Guatemala much Haiti and Honduras together It
is worth than Norway and almost much Denmark
and hat and boots
Yet this vast accumulation has grown according the
natural of business 1t the product of the
manufacture and sale Of necessary commodity. It
upon the cheap production of automobiles.
Instead Of raising money by levyng upon thousands
people it provides them with living wage It enables
them with this to build their own schools and improve
their standards of living.
Nobody say 81 have made Henry Ford rich' He has
begged from bank to bank He has rather his
independence of them.
We may not approve of his deas they are his and
is not afraid to utter them.
Altogether kingdom of Henry Ford unique thug
in the worlds history It has grown up the midst of
free country and rests rmer foundation than that
of many State.

A CHICAGOAN who calls him
"A self "a beginner In science
asks whether there is any neces.
sary absurdity in supposing the
meteors and ffreballs that we see
atmosphere to be missiles fired at
the earth from the planet Mars.
If not, he would like to stake
that theory for his own.
But he viii find 1t necessary to
dispute the question OF priority
with H. G. Wells, who long ago
filed a claim in the same field.
Mr.. Wells, before he thought of
writing his history Of the world,
told a hardly more extraordinary
story of an attempt Of the Mar
tians to conquer the earth at long
range by firing at it huge shells
filled, like the Grecian horse at
Troy, with irresistible warriors
and weapons Of war.
The new claimant bases his
theory on the simple fact that no.
body knows whence these strange
projectiles come, wherefore, con-
sidering the reputation OF Mars
1t may be concluded that they
come from that warlike planet
with his military compliments. 1t
must be confessed that this sort
Of reasoning is not inconsistent
with that on which theories, some
times regarded as scientific, have
been based.
The only difference between
this sort Of theory and the truly
scientific sort is in the amount
Of exact knowledge and the quail
ity of reasoning employed to sus.
tain it. In itself the notion that
Mars may be bombarding the
earth and making war generally
on its neighbor planets, is no
more absurd than the known 1acI
that man frequently makes war
upon his fellow men and Kills
them off by millions.
Quarrel With Venus
Can there be the slightest doubt
that if we could get into COM
munication with our nearest
planetary neighbor, Venus, we
would soon have a quarrel with
her; would soon, perhaps, be try
ing to blow her up with a radlo
bomb? Human nature Is ike
gravitation, it acts the same
wherever you find it. Who can
guess to what insufferable degree
Of evaporation the Martians Tor
whose existence some astronomers
have felt quite confidenO may
have been driven by the long
process of evolution to which
some theorists hold that they
have been subjected? We are SO"
berly told that they have proba-
bly, progressed so far that our
greatest achievements in practical
science would seem child's play
to them. They are pictured with
bullying heads, crammed with i'm
proved brains that bulge their
eyes out, If they are as lima
tured as they are able, which Is
sometimes the case with the rela.
lively undeveloped inhabitants OF
our planet, 1t might be better for
us II they did not fix their at
tention this way.
Not Impossible
If the Martians have really done
what some of their protagonists
have claimed for them, then there
aJcouid be no necessary absurdity in

have a great advantage over us.
But to anybody who may be in.
clined to consider such specula-
tions too seriously it may be well
to point out that the fireballs and
meteorites that occasionally fall
upon the earth bear no resemblance
to warlike projectiles, or even to
fragments of such projectileA.
Some of them, it is true, are com.
posed of solid nickeliferous iron,
but no trace Of artificial construc-
ton has ever been found in any
of them. Others are composed OF
stony minerals-and these likewise
appear to be solely Of natural ORR
gin. Moreover, the tracks followed
by these bodies are not such as
would result from their being pro.
jected at the earth from Mars,
while their direction Of motion and
velocity in space before entering
our atmosphere indicate that they
have been travelling around the
sun before encountering the earth.
In short, there is no need yet for
a planetary peace society to re-
strain mliitarism among the mem
bers of the suns family Of worlds.
