John B.. Hart, of the Cochise county
board Of supervisors, said yesterday
that he expected to hear something
definite abouts the situation on high

Hart said that there appeared to
be some delay over the starting OF

form to meet the federal requirements
for that part of the fund, but that he
did not feel in position to make any
statement as the matter is entirely up
to the state highway commission and
engineers. He said that he hoped that
Mcdonald would be able to report
preparations for progress upon his re-
turn

MT. Ford: Salesman.
NNew York World. )

T know ihat people think that sales men make cars sags Henry Ford in an inter view written by Charles w. Wood for Forbes Maga1ne. ''We believe that car, if it's good enough will make salesmen." And by that re- mark be explained much of that curious quality which sets MT Ford apart and which
 lends him the greater part of his dramatic ap- peal For many business proceed the theory that salemanship is the vital factor in modern business. Is this true? One doubts. Possibly aalesmanship is important. But that it can for indefinite time succeed in persuading people to buy an inferior product, or product that they do not need, does not seem reasonable. Thus the remarks of a certain type of public speaker who extos salesmanshp above all the other arts of business have a ring of falsity about them at the outset. Moreover, they have ring of cheapness about them too. For what they mean, when translated into plain English, is that you need give thought to the quality of your product at all: you only need to master the psychology of selling and then you sell any body anything. Which certainly is not very impressive doctrine.
 But MT Ford has different idea. Make the car good enough he says, and it will sell itself This is honest and appallngy simple. And it gives MT. Ford real stature For it enables you to perceive that while he is by means indiffer ent to the commercial aspects of his business, he is primarily concerned with making cars In other words, he is creator The who think only of saesmanship and who is indiffer- ent to the quality of what he creates sems like pygmy beside him. ,,sss
 The irony of this, of course, is that MT Ford by having his mind something else, is the greatest salesman of them all

A Modest Master.
Cincinnati Enquirer )

Thomas Hardy something more than an ordinary novelist, he master lmner of life in its sweeter aspects England has perhaps pro duced modern author who be recognized as Hardys superior in any true literary sense. He looms above his countrys contemporary writ CTS clean, soaring shaft of marble towers over all lesser things below it.
 There is reserve modesty, freshness about Hardys work that is at soothing and inspiring He writes with facile ease and sympathy concerning real people and normally probable situations, of emotions and conditions with which all familiar.
 From the pages of this conceded master one may catch the faint perfume of the English violet, envision the venture of fields and the wandering and straying of focks of sheep-see the hedgerows and copses, the downs and streams which he paints entrancingly, faithfully.
 Perhaps Hardy's work done. Who knows :? He continued to write to the day of his death, which occurred this week-particularly verse. It may be that the world shall not be given opportunity to these last inspirations of fad ing genius. Perhaps it would be better that the world did not see them. He has left much that is good so much that will live for long. that his fame should not be made questionable by anything possibly less meritorious than the work which preceded his concluding labors. Age brings often to a man other things than serenity and calm judgment

CHAIN PUBLISHING IN GREAT
 BRITAIN.

The chain newspapers and other publications gathered under ownership, like the Hearst publications the Scripps- Howard papers, Is not exclusive American characteristic. In fact it has in some respects been carried to further extreme in Great Britain than in this country. When Sir William Berry, Sir Conner Berry and Sir Edward Ilihe recently acquired the London Telegraph they added the firth publication to their list. This is longer string of publica- tions than any in the United States Their list includes + daily and Sunday newspapers, 7S weekly newspapers and publications besides more than 50 other periodicals in England, Scotland and Wales. covering every phase of journalism for those of every walk of life from children's papers to those for in the street. They print papers for women, for those interested in literature science, the trade and politics as well as newspapers.

New York n Close State.
(New York Times. )

By the test of the vote cast for Assembly candidates last November the Republicans have a plurality of about 35.00O in New York State. year ago the Assembly vote gave Democratic plurality of somewhat less than 6000O. For the two years the average fuctuating plurality would be about 45,000. In total vote of more than 2,500,0o0 this reveals party margin either way of less than per cent Much closer than this great State could hardly be.
 That, however. is the normal aspect when outstanding personality is not injected into the election. The personal factor has worked in be- hall Of the Democrats the more frequent name for personality being Al Smith. Last years As- sembly vote in New York City showed Demo- cratic decline of nearly 10000 from the pre- vious year, when Al Smith was running. Last years Assembly vote upstate showed gain of 63,000 over the preceding Gubernatorial vote.
 Whether this measures the strength of Al smith or the weakness of the Republican candi- date will naturally remain subject of dispute. But if the voting for Assembly is accepted as basic party strength it would seem to leave a very narrow margin for Al Smith to overcome whenever he may run for what.

REPUBLICANS IN TARIFF DEBATE.

Senator McMasters insurgent Republican of South Dakota, has complicated the National political situation by introducing in Congress the tariff question from a angle. He recently presented a resolution asking for reduction of tarin rates in the United States, declaring that the present schedules operate to the disadvantage of the farmers of the country Immediately he started debate between Republican high tariff advocates and agricultural bloc members of that party The Democratic low tariff men in the Senate sit back and sic the others
 Senator McMasters and other Senators from the agricultural State of the West contend that the ForGney- -McCumber tarih schedules were fram- ed in the interest of the Eastern manufacturers and urge that the tarif on farm products brings no compensating benefits to the farmers. He declares that the fact that farm implements are on the free list is not benefit to the farmers for the reason that Americans control all the production in that line and fix prices through trust agreements He insists that the tariffs on steel and other items that enter into the manu- facturing of farm and household utensils guaran- tee manufacturers monopoly while the prices of farm products are largely fixed by the Euro pean market demands for our surplus crop pro- duction. On the other hand, the tarin permits the maan{actursrs of clothing and other items
