The plans they suggest for rail road valuations and ratio making causes one to marvel that public men in high -official positions should present such views and actually be lieve that they are suggesting some thing in the way of a remedy for a question of national importance. It must take tremendous self con fidence on the part of men who never ran a railroad to go into congress and in a few short months tell the people tnat the management of the whole transportation system is wrong and that by a simple process of po litical sleight of hand, it can be cor rected. It would seem as if such a man would be worth millions as the manager of any of our railroads and that their time 1s being wasted In congress or on the farm.

Dearborn is to see the culmination of a million cross roads, cross fence gossiping. All the underground ru mors, smoking car mouthings and devious ramifications of the "Ford clubs" will take some definite form at Dearborn-on-the-Iiouge. The way has been smoothed and prepared. A few days ago Muscle Shoals was again dragged heels first into the political arena. Another of the series of announcements that Ford war profits would be turned back to the government was made Here in Nebraska the name of Ford was filed for the presidential pri maries without a whimper of pro test from Detroit. The call from Dearborn means that somebody somewhere in the nebulous and mysterious clique of Ford back ers has pressed a button. Someone has decided that the wicked demo crats may not nominate Ford and the unreirenerate renublicans will not. Therefore, since the country needs saving and Ford is the only salvation, the thing to do is to start a new party, and make both the old parties sick and sorry. A fervid out burst from the plain people in be half of that sterling, public spirited citizen, that combination of Lincoln, jenerson et ai. mat far seeing statesman and undoubted wizard of mass production, to-wit: Henry Ford, may make the old party tacticians think very furiously. Something like this seems to motivate Dearborn. By mid-afternoon, Dec. 12, Dear born should resemble a political zoo. There should be more political grouch per square foot than ever be fore assembled in one spot. Beside it Roosevelt's "lunatic fringe" should resemble a caucus of serene minded savants. The magic of the Ford name and the glamour of the Ford millions are counted on somehow to wield this mass of malcontents, pacifists, soft moneyites, partyless men, hokum peddlers, gong beaters.' come outers and Mad Mullahs into a political or ganization. Meanwhile, there is a deep observing and official silence on tne part of the object of all these de votions. It always thrills, however, to see a shrinking Cincinnatus kidnapped from his plowhandles. We never tire of seeing the shy timorsome citizen torn from his own fireside and draft ed into the service of the plain peo ple.
