Tribune’s Ethics The Tribune does not, in eoliciting advertis- ing, employ blackjack, dark lantern, or black- mail methods, It does not invade the skeleton closets and threaten to drag forth the contents to public view. Tt does not by misrepresentation, prevari- cation, false pbecpparts i “dpe decaption at- tempt to induce advertising patronage. Tf does not bury its subscription records in dark closets, away from the view of the ad- vertising public; but on the contrary freely exhibits this data to anyone concerned. It has no seorets respecting its business or its business methods in any-particular what- soever, It does not pretend to be anything other than that which it can fully substantiate and justify by the most searching and enlightened business methods. ‘ Tt docs not believe in unfairness, trickery | or false pertenses, and neither does it practice them in any department. é Hl The Tribune is a business institution, guid- ed entirely by tried and approved business methods, with ideale of honor, honesty and fair dealing. It is free from envy, malice and vindictwe- ness, Does not seck to punish those it does not approve nor exact tribute from those who have substance, for imaginary service, The Tribune has a fired policy in its busi- ness, its opinion and its general attitude to- ward the public. This policy cannot be influ. enced by either rewards or threats, Henry Ford’s Wisdom Henry Ford is one of the greatest, if not the world's premier, captain of industry. His rise from the position of a day workman to that of the world’s greatest manufacturer is like a tale out of Arabian Nights. His rise was so rapid that it was a long time before he received any- thing like the just credit due him for what he had accomplished, The opinion prevailed that it was of mushroom growth and possessed no solid basis. This opinion changed when he pro- ceeded from one business or industrial success to another. Finally he was accepted as almost infallible in business, which was extended in the minds of some, to include everything else he undertook. This of course covered entirely too much territory. His commanding financial posi- tion enabled him to indulge in such experiments as he chose, outside of his great manufacturing interests, and in these his limitations were re- vealed. He undertook international affairs, dur- ing the war; he tried candidacy for public office in his home state, he set up to teach the world the way it should go, through a press of his own; also to become a preceptor and solver of problems in economics in most of which he sig- mally fuiled and abandoned. Lately, » group of satellites, with which all great and successful men find themselves sur- rounded at times, most of them with ulterior or personal motives, have attempted to groom him for president of the United States, It was in- teresting to observe the developments. Whether Henry Yord, the man of hard business sense, great ucity for industrial organization, and rinnufacturing production, could be turned aside from the great field in which he was a marvel, by the glitter of the presidency for which ho know in his heart he was wholly unfitted. Sir. Ford, in true characteristic form said nothiug to this presidential movement. He neither enco' 1 nor discouraged it. He sim- ply let it ri It did him and his business no possible harm, and it piqued public interest to the highest degree. Finally, when the movement reached 2 point wh silence no longer availed, when cour itions were bound to ensne unless a declaration were made, Mr. Ford came to the frent and with the good sense he is known to possess inade a public declaration that lifted him personally, in the estimation of his country- men, to a much higher place than the presidency. His statement at once made hin, that rarest of persons, an unselfish citizen; a patriot; a man great enough to yield to one whom he acknowl- edged greater than himself for a purpose; a man wise enough to see the country’s present problems and the direct way to solve them was to lay no obstruction in the pathway of the man who can solve them and will do so with the help of men like Henry Ford. Therefore those who haye had all along an abiding faith in the “1 hard sense of Mr. Ford are not disappointed when he declares that he is supporting Calvin Coolidge for president, and that he believes ninety per cent of the American people feel as he does—ihe country is safe with Calvin Coolidge. Emphasizing his own persoval situation in the matter, Mr. Ford made this declaration—“I would never for a moment think of running a three cornered tisl contest next lyear, and the burning of a. considerable tity of red fire, may back to business and to work, The Ford contingency is settled. Settled sensibly and with great credit to Mr. Ford. The Sesquicentennial The one hundred and fiftieth anniv the signing of the Declaration of In will occur on July 4, 1926. In 1876, on wn tie ieee Philadelphicn where the f event, the city o famous document was signed, d an international ex- position. City leaders are now discussing the ad- yisability of celebrating in a similar manner the occa, sesquicentennial of our independence two years| bence. There a: pears to be an overwhelming | along the lines of a pullman car, adelphia against an affair of | with a separate compartment for wo- sentiment in P! an international character, inasmuch as many nations are in no Sapo: to be adequately rep- resented, and it been su; ted that the id undertake merely a municipal demonstra- ion. The city of Philadelphia should be apprized 58) of the fact that the whole country has an inter- est in commemorating the birth of the republic, and does not wish to see 1926 pass into history without a fitting observance of the anniversary. The ceremonies should be of national scope, all parts of the United States participating equally in making the event a conspicuous manifesta- tion of loyalty to American institutions and an expression of homage to the men who established our independence in 1776, In these days when all shades of radicalism are exerting themselves to break down the prin- ciples that have guided the government so long, it is particularly appropriate that real Amer- icans should join in a testimonial of faith in inveighing against government by law, the false pacifists who would jeopardize our liberties by disbanding our army and navy, and those others whe urge porerament ownership and paternal- ism, are all sapping the vitality that for a hun- dred and fifty years has made our independence secure, Likewise the wave of internationalism that had its inception following the armistice, and has not yet wholly receded, sought to throw the United States back into the position of a sub- ject nation from which the Declaration of 1776 delivered us. In 1920 the voters repudiated that and in 1926 they should have an opportunity to demonstrate with equal vigor their epprecia- tion of continued independence from foreign en- tanglements. It_is pypescne from the expressed sentiment in Philadelphia that her citizens want to ar- range a sesquicentennial celebration of char. | acter and proportions that will appeal most} strongly to our citizens ponereny. Once the gity is convinced that there is a demand for a dem- onstration of national magnitude, the municipal- ity which guards the Cradle of Liberty will re- apa in a manner worthy of her best tradi- Ons. ‘Two Proposed Amendments Two important constitutional amendments have alre: been proposed in the present ses- sion of congress. Ono of these and the most far-| reaching in its effects, if adopted, was introduc ed by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, and by Repre-| sentative Anthony of the tate, for the purpose of establishing equality of rights. for women under all laws, The amendment is brief. It provides: if “Men and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction, Congress shall have) power to enforce this article by appropriate leg- islation.” Under the equal suffrage amendment women now have equal rights with men so far as votin, states specified the qualifications of voters. For the same reason, a constitutional will be necessary if women are to have equal rights with men in other respects. Property| rights, particularly in the matter of inheritances, are determined by state laws, and at present a great many, if not a majority, of the states, ac- cord a wife lesser rights than are accorded to sher husband. In most instances, when a woman dies her husband acquires a much lurger right to her property than she acquires in the case of his death, The difference in the matter of property rights has been gradually growing less as one state after another liberalizes its laws and recognizes the injustice of former notions of the rights of women, but there are some states that are still far behind the procession. The adoption of the |Curtis-Anthony amendment would wipe out all these discriminations, With that amendment in effect it would be unconstitutional for any state to enuact any Jaw granting to one sex any priy- ilege or right not accorded in equal degree to | the other. | The other constitutional amendment referred to, was proposed by Senator Norris of Nebraska. It provides for the commencement of the terms of president and yice president and members of congress. At present these terms begin on the fourth of March, Under the Norris amendment the terms of the president and vice president would begin at noon on the third Mondgy of January, and the terms of senators and repre- sentatives on the first Monday of January. At present the president does not take office until four months after the election. Under the ten weeks ufter the election. Although senators and congressmen assume their offices at present on the fourth of March, their official service really does not become ef- feetive until the following December when the first regular session convenes, unless the pres- ident calls them into special session. ‘hat means that in the regular course of events a new congress would not have an opportunity to register its policies until thirteen months after. it had been voted into power. The Norris amendment not only provides that senators and congressmen shall assume their offices on the first Monday in January following the election, but that there shall be a session of congress be- ginning on the first Monday of January. Un- der that umendment a change in the political complexion of congress would become almost immediately effective. The new congress would be in session two weeks before the time for the uew president to assume his duties. This difference is intended, should such con- |tingency arise, to provide an opportunity for congress to elect a president, under the consti- tutional provision in case of failure to elect ja president at the preceding general election. | The spread of © Jong S008 merri. tractiong-of the inete culture through Mah on despite the other dis. universe. fng institutions.

Ditchers at Work DOUGLAS—McLaughlin & O'Netll of Livingston, Montana, the contrac tors forthe new city water system, are now working two ditching and pipe building crews on the line from the Green Valley spring to Douglas, one having started at LaPrele creek and proceeding toward town, while the other is being used on other end of the line. The spring house has been completed and by the first |of the yeer, if the weather remaine moderately warm severe] miles of the line should be completed, a New Pastor SHERIDAN-—The Nev, L. F.

He comes to Sheridan highly recommended, First Car Honey ~ DOUGLAS-—The first carload of honey to be shipped from Douglas to an outside market was loaded out last week, the destination being Boulder, Colorado. This represents practically the entire output of the county for the year 1923, with the excepiton of what was absorbed by the local market. The honey brought the owners sbout $2300 and sold for a price of around nine and » half cents a pound. The shipment was made over the Chicago & WNorth- western, The shipment is the result of ef- forts on the part of the bee men of Converse County who recently form- ed what is known ag the Converse County Bee Keepers Association. Throvgh this association the men were able to get together and raised more honey, receiving a better price for it than they have been able to do heretofore. It has now been proven that honey is a product that can bring in @ considerable revenue and the mem- bers of the association plan on fn- creasing their colonies and are con- templating the shipment of at least two carloads to market next year. Expert bee men are wanted in the is concerned. It required a constitutional amend- | county, according to members of the ment to establish that right for the reason that | association, and indications point te the fact that the production of amendment | honey will soon become an important industry in Converse county. ee To Retain Old Bridge DOUGLAS—The old Platte river bridge, just north of the new con- crete bridge recently put In by the here, state highway department should be kept open and used stock driveway, according to stock- men of thi lon who have oc- casion to di stock into town oc- casionally for laoding. It is stated {that by keeping the old bridge open [and in repair that much more satis- factory traffic results can be obtain- ed, If the stock {s driven over the new bridge delay of many passenger vehicles is often caused and this can |be avoided by the use of the old |structure. It ts probable that the matter will be taken up in the near future with the state highway de- partment. Insurance Adjusted BASIN—The insurance on the Martin bullding and upon the stocks | of the Wigton grocery and the Basin | Bakery were adjusted in a manner | reasonably satisfactory to the own- Jers.
