This Week By Arthur Brisbane. Henry Ford, Acute Stage. Farm Houm Conversation. An Election Starter. Secretary Weeks' Position. Henry Ford's public message to Mr. Weeks, Secretary of War. wlll Interest politicians and farmers. Ford invite* a libel suit by his blunt statement thet Weeks Is selling Muscle Shoals piecemeal to prevent Ford's producing cheap fertiliser there for farmers, thus Interfering with the fertiliser trust, which practices extortion notoriously. Ford's talk Is blunt. 'Every real newspaper In the United States will print It. Weeks accused of destroying what might be made "the greatest munition plant on earth, our greatest assurance of victory, in case of war," to keep Ford from giving cheap fertilizer to farmers. President Coolldge knows that this statement by Ford wlll be discussed In every farm house In the United States, and belelved by 999 out of 1,000 farmers. After this attaok on Weeks, Ford will be bound to enter the 1924 election as a candidate against the Republican party, and let farmers deride between him and the Republican administration. Ford couldn't possibly do less. It's an Interesting situation for Mr. Cooledge, also for Mr. McDoo. The sane decision that ninety per cent of the people who own Muscle Shoals would advocate would let Ford take the plant and show what he can do about his promise to supply cheap fertilizer and send cheap power 200 milee in all directions. Any Republican who thinks that Ford would poll a small vote as an independent knows little about politics or the present mood of American farmers and worklngmen. Secretary Weeks won't sue Henry Ford tor libel. He'll ask,Congress to investigate Ford's charges. This shows a Christian spirit, tor on charge could be more serious than Ford's accusation against Weeks. Ford, who passes rapidly from one •cage to another," "like the boy at the ' Zoo, now announces a plan to let his employes share in the profits of his * railroad. He will help them buy profit sharing certificates in Instalments from their wages. They may get their money back any time, but must keep their certificates, not sell them, "unless to fellow employes." —o— Whatever you may think of Henry Ford, you must admit that the problems of this country would be simplified and the security of those that . have money Increased, if other big employes understood as Ford does the handling of worklngmen. "Milk from contented cows" la a well-know, ingelous motto. "Work from contented workmen" ought to be the employers' motto. Contented cows don't kick or buck. John D. Rockerfeller, Jr., has given $500,000 to the Zoological Society, promising to duplicate that amount. K. S. Harkness gave $100,000, the estate of Mrs. F. F. Thompson $60,- 000. The work of the Zoological Society Is done scientifically. It doea not merely collect elephants to amuse children and monkeys to rebuke men. It carries on admirable, permanent, scientific work. In days to come not one of the specimens In the Zoo will be left alive on this earth. All wlll have gone to join the carnivorous dinosaur, great auk and the dodo. This is the time to gather Information. Mr. Francis O. French, who has William H. Vanderbllt tor a cousin, and other rich folks, having lost his money in Wall street, starts driving a "checker" taxicab. His home la one furnished room, "although his family has houses In New York, Tuxedo, Newport and Paris." The society reporters, weep over this, of course. But, rich parents that spall children please notice that this young man's first day of real education will be his flrst day on that checker cab. He will learn that lt you don't ateer straight, you will be bumped. And aa he counts up his day's profits, he'll realise that a dollar meana something. COMMUNITY CHORU8 TAKES TWELVE NEW MEMBERS.
