Maybe it’s truae—we doubt it. We are thinking at this moment, of a very successful business man who is approximately $100,000,000 out of pocket right now because he let himself be ruled by sentiment. The man’s name is Henry Ford. Here is the story: Ford amassed the world’s largest fortune through the sale of his famous “Model T”’ auto- mobiles. This model, familiar on every road on earth as the “flivver” of tradition, was short on beauty and long on service. Wherever any- thing on wheels could go, a flivver could go. It could ramble over deserts, across mountains, through bogs and swamps, with a minimum of attention and care. For years the homely flivver sold as fast as Ford could make them, Then, about three years ago, there came a change. The public began to feel that, with other low-priced cars becoming so reliable, Ford might make his fliv- vers just a’little less homely. Slowly, at first, and then more rapidly, people passed up the flivver for more ornamental machines. It was the talk of the automotive industry. But Henry Ford stood firm. He stuck by his flivver, making a few minor alterations in its lines but leaving it essentially the same utili- tarian car as it always was. Finally, last winter, Ford’s sales reached the point where it was obvious that the flivver would either have to undergo a radical change or disappear entirely. Ford held out as long as he could; he devised a dozen changes that might be made in “Model T” without scrapping it entirely, but it was no use. He was forced to realize that the old flivver was done for. It is an open secret in Detroit that everyone else in the automotive industry reached this conclusion two years ahead of Ford. To the very last he clung to the hope that “Model T” might continue. Why was Ford the last to admit that a change was necessary? Was it because the other automobile men were wiser than he? Hardly. It was because of sentiment. Ford had a genuine attachment for the famous old flivver. He honestly hated to give it up. And so he stuck by his guns to the very end—stuck by them until, for the first time in a score of years, another automobile company passed him in volume of sales. - _ Sentiment, after all, is still something of a force in business. If you don’t believe it, ask Henry Ford. Old Towns and New ‘A great change has come upon American towns in the last twenty years. American towns are strikingly alike. This is as true now as it was at the beginning of this century. Yet the similarity nowadays is dif- ferent from the similarity of two decades ago. Slowly and steadily our towns are losing the wane detached air that once was theirs. ‘ot long ago, the casual traveler easily could find a small city that was many leagues re- moved from anything savoring of modernity or up-to-date-ness. Dusty main streets, wooden sidewalks, quiet squares, a general atmosphere of peaceful somnolence and unhurried friend- liness—these were the characteristics of the minor city until recently. But the change has come. Every town, even the smallest, is alive, nervously eager to grow bigger and noisier than before. The dusty main streets are becoming brick or cement; the wooden sidewalks have long since been re- . Placed; even the remotest town has its radio store, its up-to-the-minute garages, its Cham- ber of Industry, its movie theaters and so on. The old sleepiness is gone, and the tense speed of modern America has repleced it. There are many people to whom all of this Seems a shame, ubtless it is true that there was something extremely attractive about the old type of town; the town where life flowed in a moderate, unhurried manner, where people could spare time from the rush of making money to enjoy the unique privileges of the small city—peace, rest and quiet. And, in- dubitably, there is something repellent about many modern towns; they are, some of them, 60 hurried, so blatant, so frankly and unasham- edly ugly. . Yet this is progress—even though it may often seem to some people like deterioration. _ For the change that has come upon the small city is only a symptom of the change that has come upon.the country as a whole. As a peo- ple, we have become tremendously busy. We are in a mighty hurry; and it is worth remem- bering that we are hurrying Where Men Dared Not Follow This editorial is not intended to prove that Amelia Sablich was right. Nor is it the purpose to show that Amelia was misled when she led a group of striking miners to the property of the Ideal mine near Trinidad, Colorado. These words are merely meant as a tribute to her single-handed cour- age. That is all. The girl in her red dress had harangued the men, cajoled, pleaded with them until the time| ~ seemed ripe for an attack on the mine prop- erty. It is wrong to attack property, of course, but that is not the question here, either. Finally the men followed her to the mine. What must the girl’s thoughts about man- kind have been when she faced those mounted guards and looked back to find herself alone? When she waved to the men to follow her and they shrank back in fear, arguing among them- selves? She must have wondered then, if, after all, this pack of cowards was worth while. Alone, though, she carried on. In the excite- ment she was accidentally trampled by a guard’s horse. What must be her thoughts about mankind now as she lies on a hospital cot? Has her belief that there is any cour- age at all among men been crushed? We should think so. But she has had her moment of bravery, whatever the cause or whatever the cost. She has felt the thrill of courage as it swept over her, and found it bigger than herself. The knowledge that she has been brave is hers, and the pride that she had carried on beyond what mere men deemed discreet. She has lived through a great test and passed it with colors flying. Molly Pitcher was not more heroic, Joan of Are more brave, Barbara Freitchie more in- spired. Amelia Sablich will go down in history with none of these. Just the same, she has shown their courage. | Editorial Comment | LEI hh tabard ehhh | Why Men Fail (Duluth Herald) : This is “management week.” Under the di- rection of Mr. Hoover’s department of com- merce, conferences are being held for the pur- pose of letting business men learn the conclu- sions the department has come to after a study of business failures. 1927, inclusive, the department has found that incompetence is the cause of thirty-five per cent and lack of capital of thirty-three per cent, with the other thirty-two per cent divided be- tween inexperience, extravagance, speculation, fraud and so on. The department believes that it is possible to cut down the mortality rate among business enterprises, hence “management week” and its conferences. It is hard, though, to assign failures to these various classifications and have them “stay put.” Incompetence is easy to understand; but isn’t trying to do more business than one’s capi- Studying the 135,000 failures from 1920 to] Ch: tal will sustain incompetence also? And how is “inexperience” to be separated from “in- competence”? One thing is potable—“bad luck” doesn’t figure in this table, though doubtless many of pace who failed comforted themselves with the erm. But the term has no meaning. Neither syc- cess nor failure is often the result of luck. Diligence, alertness, honesty and boldness coupled with prudence beat luck every time. The New Farm Complex in North Dakota (Minneapolis Tribune) North Dakota was both fortunate and un- fortunate in the immediate post-war period. It was lucky because there was no such inflation of farm land values as some other western and northwestern states experienced. It was un- fortunate because of the undue emphasis laid on the production of wheat, relative to produc- tion of other agricultural commodities and of farm by-products. Diversification was delayed if North Dakota because of the urge upon the farmers in the war years to raise wheat for foreign as well as domestic consumption. Now there is a mark- edly different situation. North Dakota farm- ers have gone in extensively for dairying, meat animal production, sheep raising, sugar beet culture, the egg and poultry business, with, of course, such change in cropping as these activ- ities implied. ‘i One of the fruits of diversity in farm effort in the state is just made public in a survey of North Dakota conditions made by a Fargo trust company. Farm bankruptcies to date this year are only half as many as in the same period in 1923. The amount of taxes delinquent in 1926 was about 50 per cent of taxes delinquent in 1923, These two exhibits mean that North Da- kota farmers are well on the way in the proc- ess of wiping out debts that have burdened them seriously. 2 Getting from under the load of standing obligations makes the North Dakota farmers freer and stronger to go into the new order of agriculture, the corner stone of which is diversification. As these handicaps are thrown off, balanced farming, which signifies a ration- al co-ordination of crop raising and livestock production, receives added impetus and goes ahead with less clogging friction. Government and education can and do aid and facilitate this desirable readjustment of affairs on the farm, but the readjustment must be made by the farmers themselves as free agents. The initiative belongs on the farm, and the steady application of this initiative is up to the men who own or operate the farm plants. Under compulsion of circumstances, abetted by group organization in North Dakota farmers are showing the courage of new con- victions regarding agricultural policies. They are doing for themselves what could not be done for them by sympathetic friends in Wash- ington and Bismarck.

The Senate’s Kepublican leader is a@ man with as few illusions as a chorus girl in her late forties. Big Bill Borah may believe that it is; p ible to change g colleague’s vote y a passionate, ‘logical speech; George Norris may suspect that the ordinary citizen coat to be repre- sented here; Tom Walsh and Jim Reed may think the country will some day get excited about official corruption; Tom Hefin may be con- vinced that the Pope’s guns are trained on the Capitol; someone somewhere may hope that the Sen- ate as a whole some day show some horse sense and stop playing politics for an instant—but Curtis has been he~e 33 he knows better. Thus, it seems most unlikely that Senator Curtis suspects that he might become president oy someone has whispered something in his ear. There are altogether too many reasons why he isn’t like- ly to be rominated and Curtis knows them as well as anyone. He's old; ‘e’s a westerner; he doesn’t make an especially good speech; he; has no populare following outside Kansas and so on, years and . But although he insisted that he wouldn’t be a “stalking horse” for any other candidate, there is no rea- son to suppose that-Curtis isn’t just as willing to be a good old work horse for the party as he hag al- ways been. The outstanding fact about his candidacy is that it will make the going just a little easier for the party regulars who expect to :.ominste their man in the end. It seems to me that any hopes for a united farm state bloc of dele- gates at the next convention have gone blooey and that the farm state delegates will be spilt three ways —among Lowden, Norris and Curtis. Previously we had Lowden, a middle ground sort of politician, and Norris, ® radical progressive. Now we also have | : FROM ELECTIONS publicans in the west who don’t want Norris or Lowden and can’t deliver a delegation to an eastern reaction- ary doubtless will assemble under his totem pole, In other words, it looks as if the farmers and western progressives will be as impotent in the next convention as ever. Which is to say that Faithful Charlie is again carrying the hod for his party. It must be admitted, however, that’ one can’t read Genator Charlie’s mind with any definite assurance. He may have his eye on the v: presidency or a cabinet job as a re- ward for his services before and at the convention—or it may be that the poison of Apis Bombus Praesi- dens is actually spreading through his system. What those who point to Curtis as a possibility do say is: “Look what happened to Harding!” What happened to Harding is a rare thing in a Republican conven- tion. Giver-even similar conditions in the next convention, there doesn’t seem to be any board of strategy such as Harry Daugherty and his wrecking crew lined up be- hind Senator Charlie. What hap- pened to Harding put new life into Apis Bombus Praesidens but it fin- ally proved nothing quite so much as that the Republican party rena aad to have the same thing happen again. All of which doesn’t mean that the amiable Senator Charlie wouldn’t make a fairly good president. He’s safe enough. He wouldn't be as good as Wilson at his best or as bad as Wilson at his worst, but he would be at least as satisfact to his party as Harding or Coolidge.
