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.

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

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.
Many a woman mourns for her
late husband while he is still living.

Do your best and expect the
best is a better policy than to do |

Mr. Rockefeller made his first '
money selling geese, but he kept j j
the one that laid the golden eggs.
There would be more 'happy j
homes if people did not marry j
