The penurious rich would be much more of a menace.—St. Cloud Journal- ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFPFICES <+ NEW YORK AND CHICAGO GQANEHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES - Says Mrs. Carrie Chapman. Catt, shead of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance: “This war proves one thing—men are more hysterical than women. Or they show hysteria in a different way. When women are hysterical they weep; when men are hysterical they fight. When enough “fnen are hysterical, a nation goes to war. Europe is simply suffering from the collective hysteria of men.” ‘That will probably hold the “Powers for a while. Liberty anl Loyalty. Great Britian at last is a unified nation. For the first time she can fight a great war without fearing enemies in her own house. For Ire- land is now loyal. John Redmond has pledged the fealty of Home Rule Ireland, and the government:in a burst of impartial generosity, has named a warship the “Erin.” More than that, the government at West- minster has Temoved the embargo on the shipment of arms into Ireland. And this within two weeks after British troops shot down Irish volun- teers in a Dublin suburb for daring - to accept smugglel rifles. The more England loosens the reins of power, the more loyal the members of her scattered empire seem to become. The JIrish, who fought against her in the Spanish Armada and who have hélp- ed the enemy on almost every import- ant battlefield from that time until the Boer war, are merely the latest and most striking example. The Boers themselves, whom repression would never have mastered, now with their own parliament are glad to help de- fend the integrity of the empire. The other pcwers might well learn from England's hard-bought experience. Alsace and L crraine, though origin- ally German, conciled to Germany since she took them from France in-1871. Today they are eager for secession, and vol- unteers are flocking to the French ranks. Russia, having absorbed and oppressed Poland and Finland. finds hostility there when she needs sup- port. The Slavs of Bosnia and Her- zegovina, instead of helping Austria in her extremity, are prepared to re- volt, as are'the Croats and Dalma- tians, and the Italians of Trieste and the Trentino. It has taken the world a long time to discover that tyranny is a losing game, and that loyalty to government springs from liberty. = Profits for Consumers. In an era of ever-raising prices, there is a ray of hope for the ulti-' mate consumer. Henry Ford,maker of automobiles for the millions, has come forward to give the buying pub- lic \‘,he most significant recognition yet accorded by any industry. The innovation is perhaps equal in im- por‘ance to Mr. Ford’s performance last winter in adding $10,000,000 a year to the wages of the men who make his cars. Now he extends hig profit-sharing bounty to those who buy them. Every purchaser is get $40 if the sales amount to 300,- 000 cars for the year. Inasmuch as that figure seems assured when the proposal was announced, it can hard- 1y be looked upon as a mere piece of clever advertising. Both workmen and consumer: are to share in the philantrophy of a man who does not want to take for himself alone the immense profits made possible by his ‘business genius. The principle .is not absolutely new. The N, O. Nel- son Manufacturing company of St. " Louis, makers of engines and boilers, sinee.1905 havegbetn sharing profits with their customers. After deduct- ing six per cent as imterest on their capital, they divide the rect between -their employes and ‘their patrons, :each customer receiving a proportion ‘ot the whole in accordance With the ¢ gross profits ‘on his purchases There i5.a significent difference, however, in the fact that the Nelson customers and workmen are paid in stock, while IR Press. 5 A Governor Eberhart, after finishing his chautauqua tour, will make some speeches in Main for the Republican ticket.
