Tn the Wall Street Journal a New York banker says: “The taxable income of Henry F last year was $100,000,000; the Class 1 railroads of the entire country have only little more net income than this. Mr. Ford took his income from the farmers, large- ‘dy, and yet they are devoted to him, while they lose no opportunity to persecute the r for their alleged rapacity. I do not understand the bucolic psychology.” And that isn’t all you do not understand, Mr, Banker. You also do not sabe the distinction between the pirate who holds you up on the seas and makes you walk the plank, and the watch dog that bites the pirate just ft his port suspender button. ‘The farmers of the country found Ford, after the war, giving them a tractor of ‘ . efficiency at half the cost of the nirvester trust’s equipment. .. farmers found Ford taking over a railroad and cutting rates, while every other can railroad was boosting rates. "The farmers found Ford at a crisis cutting the price of flivvers almost in half, while he price of every other machine used on the farm was being boosted. : farmers gave Ford their share of his $100,000,000 because he gave them more ‘their money than they could get elsewhere. The farmers had their pockets picked railroads and were helpless; even the new freight rates meant the bankruptcy of thousands of orchardists, grass yrowers and cattlemen. . a banker can’t get the bucolic psychology; the farmer can't get the Wall philosophy either, but the farmer and the banker are one in this: each knows friends. ‘ Senator Poindexter, Reactionary Mditor The Star dexter can pose as a progrensive at home and ride in the by Form his address to the democrats Satur day evening According to Mr at the time when Senator Poin | reactionary | antee made by the government to the wagon at Washington has come | ri he helped place a burden ness bax gone to other countries.

Rising With Production BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST At one time all bathing was iMegal in Boston, except for Medicinal purposes; thin ord. inance was repealed in 1862. The first bathtub instaiied in the United States was placed in the home of a certain Ohioan by the name of Allen Thompson in 1842. At about this same time an ordinance that made it illeeal to bathe between Novembef tet and March 15th was lost in Phila- delphia by two votes. The first bathtub in the White House was installed by President Fillmore in 1851, and we are told that by 1840 bathing had be come quite general. Most of the hotels in New York then had a bathtub. Since the above facts were true, but a short lifetime has Passed, and what a change has taken place! Now we find that in our own city nearly every house has thie luxury (or should I say necessity?
