Entered at the postoftU-e at Kort Mill. 8- C., as mail matter of the second class THURSDAY. AUGUST 17, 1922. Let's see what kind of an indorsement Ohio pave Mr. Harding in the recent Republican primary in that State. From 7.1Ht) precincts tl\e president's personally indorsed candidate for governor, Carmi Thompson, received 172,500. From the same precincts Mr. Thompson's opponents received 243.153, divided between eight candidates. In other words, by a combined majority of 70,653 the Republican voters of Ohio - expressed a preference for a candidate other than President Har . mug h personally indorsed candidate for governor. There was only one way in which Ohio Republicans could have effectively indorsed the Harding administration and that was by giving Mr. Harding's candidate for governor a cleur majority over all of his competitors. This they not only failed to do, but they gave a substantial majority against him. A million and a half American workers are at nresent 011 strike. They are losing 50 million dollars a week in wages and the country is deprived of the fruits of their labor, "the value of which is beyond expression in terms of dollars and cents. Without attempting to assess or place the responsibility for the serious interruptions to production and transportation, it is nevertheless fair to point out that two years ago the Republican candidates and their supporters promised the American workers a golden age of pros perity and a practical insurance against unemployment and lowei wages if they would vote the Republican ticket. If any of the 5 million niipiimlnviwl lln<i>iurli !"?. ? >... Vu6>. bility to find work and the million and a half on strike against lower pay were lured by these Republican pictures of dawning prosperity^ into voting for Air. Harding and his Republican Congress they must be sadly undeceived by this time. If the farm* .ei: was misled by these promises of better prices for his products, which since 1920 have declined .billions in value, he must share tht worker's disappointment ami dissatisfaction. .Not only has the Republican administration failed to bring a new and greater prosperity; not only has it failed to continue the prosperous conditions wilich prevailed when it came; into power, but it has actually turned the country's previous prosperity into an industrial panic. "Billy" Sunday, in one of his sermons, gives this advice, "Believe that story false that ought not to be true." There is religion as well as common sense in the advice. When you hear an ugly story about oue of your friends or neighbors, believe it to be false until you have to believe it to be true. Try to forget it. Don't re- I peat it. There wiH be time enough to worry over it if it turns out to be true, but you will be doing yourself and others a real service if yon will believe it to be false until you have to believe it otherwise. ' "tV ' * '* ** mmmmJurnmJi # Irving T. Bush, one of New ' * - city's famous business men, v ;.r . .V : i v* . . - ; ..." * . is a keen and open-minded ob-1 server. He has just returned from Europe and has brought I home with him more than he took 1 abroad, which is more than can ' I be said for most Americans who j visit Europe. In his description of England as the workshop of the world, he laid his hand upon the fundamental difference between her hard times and those we are going through. England's population is largely industrial. There employment and prosperity are conditioned upon the abil ity of other lands to buy the country's products. Therefore England's recovery from the World war must wait upon the recovery of the rest of the world, purlieui 1 -- 1 - 1 idiiv ner great markets on I lie European continent. Hence the efforts of Lloyd George to gei , Europe pacified and at work again. But here in the United States we are the equivalent of a European continent in ourselves. We have iu our borders the agricultural population to consume our manufactures and the industrial population to consume our agricultural products. In American markets, sufficient to absorb 80 to 90 per cent of our productive capacity, we have what Mr. Bush calls a cyclone cellar for shelter during the storms of adjustment in a war-torn world. A few of our products, like cotton, wheat and copper, require at all limes an export market. These jure the very things Europe is taxing ami must continue to take 'o effect her own reruns!ruction. The question of how to make money is confusing when Mr. Ford advises against going into debt and Mr. Rockefeller says that it is the only way to succeed. Back of these two divergent opinions, however, the common man may strike an average. The Ford Motor company originally was capitalized at .+100,000. Only about .+28,000 of this was' subscribed in cash. That was the onlv monev that ever went into i * the Ford business from the out-j side. Additions to the operating : i?i i i - i ' cti|Muu nave neen ereateu hy m*' | Ford business?taken fcom the1 profits. Ilenry Ford, when" lie j decided to make automobiles instead of watches, had wonderful vision. He also had superhuman renins for mechanical production. His oportunitv was easier than that of Mr. Rockefeller. Both created industries.* Rockefeller's big job was to stabilize the oil industry, lie succeeded through the organization he built up. But lacked profit to supply the gigantic capital needed by Standard Oil. So Rockefeler borrowed heavily. And the ones from whom he borrowed made 110 mistake, as one muy find by trying to buy Standard Oil stock. There is no cut and dried rule for accumulating wealth. A method or system that will work in one industry or situation will fail financially in another. No two problems are exactly the same. Nor have any two problems the same solution. 11' that were the case we would all be rich, or we would all be poor. Hitting the Bullseye. It is not good form to say dye' to a bald-headed man. If nature never made a mistake, why the flapper! Bad luck seldom bothers those ' who do not worry over it. A gentleman never finds it necessary to tell that he is one.
