Ford's Road Success Because He
Makes Employes Earn Their Wages
From the New York Times.
Henry Ford’s account in World’s Work of his success in
operating profitably the bankrupt railway which he took ovei
as an appendix to his motor factory was not written for the purpose
of opposing the pending railway legislation in congress. It is all
the more convincing for that. The first reason for his success is
that he operates his railway like his factory. His woi’kers do what
they are told, regardless of the name of their job. An engineer
works in the shops if he has any time left in his day, and there is
no such thing as overtime pay for anybody. The Adamson act was
designed to create overtime as well as to give ten hours’ pay for
eight hours’ work. The pending bill to abolish the Labor Board
is designed to compel “recognition” of the national unions, with
particular intent to continue their “featherbed” rules. On one of
the leading railways there are forty-four rules designed to restrict
service within classification and thirty-five rules to enforce dupli
cate payments for a single service. There are scores of other rulea
for classifications designed to increase pay, or to pay for work not
done, or to monopolize jobs for the unions. Henry Ford could not
produce either service or profits under such rules.
He is able to defy the railway unions because he pays higher
wages than the unions ask or the Labor Board awards. That is
his second explanation of his railway method. He has no labor
disputes and therefore the Labor Board has no power over him.
His minimum pay is about $2d monthly above the general average
of the highest class railways, but his men earn their wages. He
began by dismissing 1,200 men and now employs about 300 fewer
than the previous company to transport 2,500,000 more tons. Mr.
Ford says that he works his wonders with the aid of a single
million of capital. It appears that he needed in his operation
proportionately about as much n«w capital as other railways. His
result is creditable, but not markedly better than the improve
ment on the change from Federal administration to private opera
tion. There could not be a plainer lesson against reversing that
progress” back to Federal operation. Its object is to ‘‘make
w’ork” for the mass by reducing it for individuals. Henry Ford's
way is to increase production by making individuals earn their
pay.
LaFollette’s threat of third party
startles all politician#. Democrats

would elect a democrat, or demon

Financiers In London are wor
ried. They planned to keep up the
price of rubber, of which they con
trol the raw product. But latest
news shows that the product is too
great to be controlled and the
price of rubber Is slipping.
That will not be bad news in this
country, as a cut In the price of
rubber is reflected In the cost of
tires.
How many are Interested in that
cost? You can judge when you hear
that Henry Ford has just finished
building his car Number 10,000,000.
It is hard to realize how much
going up and down on the earth
those 10,000,000 cars have meant.
Assuming that they run on the aver
age of 2,000 miles each—and any
good automobile properly cared for
should run more miles than that—
the 10,000,000 cars represent In the
way of travel TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND MILLION MILES.
How many new Ideas, how much
fresh air, how much pleasure and
increased health do vou suppose that
rhileage represents? If you haven’t

James Burns, professional burglar
who has spent 26 years in one pri
son and has been a burglar for 61
years remarks that prisons are so
excellently managed that they never
weaken a person’s health.
That leads the unthinking to sav
that prisons spoil criminals and en
courage crime.
However, a prison that keeps:
burglars alive and In good health Is
better than old fashioned dungeons:
In which the prisoners were allowed
to starve to death, unless friends
brought them food, and slept In
chains on cold stones.
It Isn't what the prison does to
the prisoner that is important, but
rather the degree of civilization or
barbarism that the prison system
reveals.

Good Losers and Good Winners
Are Rare Birds in Human Race
From the Baltimore Sun.
America is greatly enamored of hypocrites. Consider, for ex
ample, the cheerful loser. The cheerful loser is considerably more
scarce than a hen’s bicuspids. He simply doesn't exist. If a man
is a decent sportsman and plays to the limit of his abilities, defeat
by a better man fills him with disappointment, vexation, envy
and rage. If he is wholly honest, he will throw his tools of play at
his opponent and fill the atmosphere with impolite adjectives. He
played to win and loss is difficult to bear. But the ethics of sports
manship demand that he conceal his rage; that he muster a grin
while shaking hands with his opponent, and that he quit the field
with jaunty step and smiling face. If he has proper regard for the
ethics of the case, he is called a good sport and harvests a quantity
of applause almost equal to that given the winner.
ihe winner himself is in little better case. His soul is filled with
a great exultation. He yearns to mount a fence and crow. If he
should be natural, he would strut in the limelight and remind the
world that he is a wonder. But in his case, also, ethics demand
hypocrisy. The world of sport demands a modest winner. Where
fore he must drop his eyes; smile in a shamefaced way; tell the
reporters is was largely a matter of luck, and keep his honest
thoughts to himself. It he should express his honest thoughts and
give vent to the boastings that clamor for utterance, he would be
called an ass and other things and those who now praise him
most loudly must turn their backs upon him. In short, he must
be essentially dishonest in order to defend his good name.
It isn’t probable that one candidate in 987 speaks the honest
truth that is in his mind. He is playing the game to win, and win
ning requires being all things to all men and preserving a discreet
silence concerning matters in which he is not in full agreement
with those whose votes he needs. Deep in their hearts the people
may suspect that he is a liar and a hypocrite—that his promises
are beyond his power to keep—but his line of talk agrees with
their pet prejudices and he has their votes in his waistcoat pocket.
They will be bunkoed; usually they expect to be bunkoed, for
hard experience has taught them not to be credulous; but his
particular form and degree of hypocrisy strikes an answering
chord in their hearts and they will vote for him until he espouses
the particular form of honesty that drips unpleasant truths and
then they will condemn him for heresy.
Making Failure Look Like Success
From the Minneapolis Journal
The unsuccessful person, after his
failure becomes apparent to him,
tends to become careless and to adopt
the life motto of "What's the Use?”
thus completing the disaster and
tending to make it permanent. The
real trick that “puts it over” on life
is to act and dress as if one owned
the universe and expected soon to
come into possession of the same.

and then, but why pick a railroad
