Ford Sells Fertilizer.
Too Much Religion.
More Earthquakes.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
V->
Go to Jacksonville, Fla.—thi» ia
written in that city.
Henry Ford knows a good thing
at sight, is building a huge plant on
Jacksonville’s waterfnont, close tu
the city power plant. The citizens,
intelligent and energetic, offered
him the land for nothing, but Ford
refused, and insisted on paying a
fair price, about $10,0(*0 an acre.
-To that plant will coene shiploads
of Fords to be assembled. And
from Jacksonville they ■will be scat
tered all over the south and shipped
to South America.
Henry Ford, who will shock the
nerves of big financiers as quickly
as he would chop the head off a
leghorn hen, has recently startled
gentlemen that manufacture ferti
lizers here.
The Ford agent at Jacksonville
got word that so many caHoads of
sulphate of ammonia in bags ready
for distribution to farmers would
presently, arrive and they must sell
it..
Shipments came and have con
tinued, Jacksonville understands
that Ford’s ammonia sulphate is a
by product of his coke plants.^ What
interests the farmers is the fact
that Ford sells his fertilizer, of thd
highest grade, $10 a ton below the
market price.
Apparently Ford is trying his
hand at cheap fertilizer without
waiting for Muscle Shoals.
“Not too much, not too little,’’
said Aristotle.
Even in religious emotion, excess
is a mistake, and brooding leads to
trouble. Frank M. Dowell got it
into his head that he had committed
an unpardonable sin. If you had
asked him what that sin was, his
answer probably would have been
vague.
But the idea stayed, and by way
of “expiation” he killed his two sis
ters, burning them as they lay
asleep in their beds.
That also preyed on his mind
and added to his religious worries.
So by way of further “expiation”
he shot his mother and father to
death. The state will takfe care of
him and his active conscience from
now on.
Such religious hallucinations
were not unusual in the old days.
They drove men and women into
the desert, whore they lived in filth
and semi-starvation, imagining that
such conduct pleased the Lord.
It didn’t occur to them to ask
why the Lord had provided a fertile
earth and clean water if it pleased
him to see hermit* dirty and
hungry.
Many have seen the “holy man
of Benares” a dflUded. pagan, sib
ting on sharp spikes, and accepting
little contributions, convinced that
it pleased his particular God to see
him sitting there.
The calming down of our re
ligious emotions is a most impor
tant forward step in civilization.
Men begin to realize that the mys
terious power above gave us this
beautiful planet that we might take
care of it like faithful gardeners
and find happiness in the process,
leaving the hereafter to a higher
judgment.
More earthquakes in Europe, and
also in South America with a slight
shaking of the British Columbia.
Mother aturc, like some Euronean
nations, seems determined to keep
trouble going.
Intelligent men ought to realize
that nature can ‘supply them with
all the war they need, that it is
not necessary for them to fight and
murder each other.
The war against deserts that
slowly creep along, burying millions
of earth’s acres under sand, the
war against poisonous swamps, in
sects nnd the diseases they carry,
wild beasts, reptiles, poverty, ig
norance and injustice ought to suj^
ply men with all the “fight” they
need.
Governor Hardee says he will in
vite John I). Rockefeller to become
a citizen of Florida. With William
Jennings Bryan, already an active
citizen, and John D. Rockefeller
added to the citizenfhip of Florida,
that state would have an even more
conspicuous place on toe map of
’ his glorious republic.
The last Florida legislature
passed unanimously a constitutional
-mendment forbidding any tax levy
upon inheritances or incomes of
residents of Florida.

McAdoo’s Strength Regarded as
r> o
Intact Despite Doheny Incident
Only Loss Is in Migration of “Band-Wagon Jumpers"—
Ollier Denaoerats Forging Ahead as Possibilities
Should MrAdoo Fail.
By M\RK SI l.UVAX.
Washington, Kell. —The refill!."
of the McAdoo incident 011 the dem
ocratic pi evidential field have now
qrysfallsted sufficiently to he identified
clearly. A* a very rough way of ex
pressing, let us imagine that the
strength which McAdoo and his
friends had accumulated by about the
1st of February was 500 out of the
1,094 delegates who will compose the
democratic convention, and that the
remaining 594 were distributed among
his opponents. This is a fairly ac
curate statement as of the day before
the McAdoo-Doheny Incident occurred.
To this statement of relative strength
lb should b? added that at that time
McAdoo waa going so strong that
there had already begun ihat migra
tion of “bandwagon jumpera” which
at some time or another is a feature
of the growth of any obviously lead
ing candidate.
What has now happened as a result
of the Doheny-McAdoo Incident ran
be stated roughly as follows:
In the first place, the “bandwagon
jumpers” have ncuttled back to wait
until such time as events may either
develop, ar npw bandwagon for a dif
ferent candidate, or else the McAdoo
bandwagon may resume its former
speed and momentum.
In addition to this class, a certain
number of democratic leaders who
were sincerely and in good faith for
McAdoo, not because they liked litm
particularly, hut on the theory that
he would he the strongest candidate,
have now backed away and are prac
ticing a polittcnl variation of “watch
ful waiting.”
lames 100 Delegate*.
As a. result of this, the McAdoo
strength has for the moment suf
fered a diminution of, let us say,
something like 100 delegates, so that
it now could l>e expressed as 500
out of 1,094.
Still further what can be spoken of
as a phrase describing not merely
those who are for McAdoo personal
ly, but describing roughly all those
democrats of a progressive turn of
thought who are determined to have
either McAdoo himself or somebody
like McAdoo as the nominee. Their
position Is that if McAdoo triumphs
over enemies In both parties who are
determined to make the most of his
connection with Doheny, they will
nominate him.
At the same time the leaders of
these progressive democrats have de
termined to arm themselves against
any recurrence of the Doheny Inci
dent or any similar Incident. As a
kind of a political Insurance, they
have made up their minds to have
other men available In case McAdoo
Is not. Consequently, a* a dlrert re
sult of the Doheny-McAdoo incident,
several other men have Already come
farther to the front or In a short time
will he tlfrust to the ffont.
Payne Considered.
The emergency of ex-Secretary of
the Interior John Barton Payne as
a possibility and as a definite favo
rite son. candidate for the state of Illi
nois, Is a direct result of the Do
henv Incident, as all of us know who
saw the events transpire In Wash
ington.
Senator Samuel Ralston of Indiana
has also come to the front by the
addition to his former strength, which
was practically confined to his own
state In Indiana, of a certain num
ber of McAdoo followers who will
he either fdr McAdoo first and Ral
ston second, or for Ralston first and
McAdoo second, depending on what
seems best when the convention
comes. It turns out that Ralston
has alwaye been regarded with kind
lines* by the progressive and Me
Adoo democrats.
Ralston himself was a McAdoo man
In 192u. and It la understood that it
had always been his Intention to do
what he could to favor the nomina.
tio nof McAdoo this year.
As a third result of the Doheny
Incident, certain quite powerful dem
ocrat* v,ho all along have strongly
believed in the nomination of Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia, but
have refrained from doing much about
It becauae they thought the nomina
tion was assured to McAdoo are now
making plana to be more aggressive
In pushing Senator Glaea forward.
A still further result of the Do
heny Incident la that In aome states
like Pennsylvania, where the inten
tion of McAdoo'a-friends had been to
fight for delegates instructed for him.
and where they would have been suc
c tnsful as to at least two-tlilrds of
the delegation, the intention has now
apparently been changed to fight for
u delegation which shall Ice unite
structed although progressive and
available for whatever candidate the
progressive agree on.
Mr Adoo Strength Intact.
All these developments are accom
panied by oris clear characteristic.
The former McAdoo strength ha* not
been disrupted. The only concrete
loss It ha* suffered has been tho
"bandwagon Jumpers." And they
were not depended on anyhow. Kx
rept for that, the original McAdoo
following remains practically Intact.
They have a spirit of fraternity among
' themselves. There have been no quai
tela or recriminations.
These who stick by McAdoo ss en
thusiastically a* ever are on perfect
ly |oml terms with thus* who are
disposed to wait and query whether
McAdoo or some progressive slterns

into the convention a* a unit in

strength will he for him. If. on the
other hand, there is any disagreement
about McAdoo'a availability they will
try to.agTee on some of the other
men named or on some new man.
In a sense, it is fortunate for the
progressive demoerals that tlie Do
heny incident occurred when it did.
Such accident as this is always likely
to happen to any candidate who is as
fir in the front as McAdoo was. If
it does not happen by accident, it is
brought about by the man's op
ponents.
1’rogresslves Have Jump.
If McAdoo'a opponents had been
able to choose their own time for this
development, they would have saved
It for the floor of the convention, and
if the McAdoo candidacy had gone
on in the shape in which It was, and
if anything like the Doheny inrident
had been “sprung" on the floor of
the convention, the “old guard" fac
tion of the democratic parly would
have rushed through the breach and
would have nominated anybody they
chose. If such a demoralization as
actually happened to the McAdoo
forces during the first week of Feb
ruary had been postponed until June
and had occurred during the week of
the convention, there can be no ques
tion wW&tever »hat the old guard
democrats would have triumphed
completely.
As things stand now, the progres
sive democrats are probably in a
atronger position to handle themselves
well on the floor of the convention
and to name a progressive candidate,
w hether McAdoo or someone else,
than they were before. So much for
development among the progressive
democrats.
As regards the conservative and
anti-Wilson democrats, who are be
hind Underwood. A1 Smith, Reed, John
W. Davis and some others, they have
unquestionably taken on renewed
confidence as a result of what hap
pened to McAdoo.

The hank Is so busy that the staff
Is working nights, Saturday after
noons, and will work next Sunday In
an effort to catch tip. The amount
of loana is expected to set a new
record ^for the bank’s business.
In amount of money loaned, Iowa
leads the four states in this district
by more than $10,000,000. Nebraska
is second in amount of money loaned
and first In number of loans. The
loans ns published in the annual re
port are: Iowa, 5,74,1 loans amunt
Ing to $41,118,750; Nebraska, 6,302
loans, amounting to $30,503,290; South
Dakota. 3,906 loans, amounting to
$17,673.900; Wyoming, 1,943 loans,
amounting to $5,396,200.

“Tlie business of the hank has f **
creased rapidly,” ^$r. Hogan said.
“Hut this three-month period will he
the biggest we have ever seen. We
term It the March 1 business be
cause March 1 Is settlement day with
the farmers. That Is the time when
tenants sign lease* and many loans
are made and paid. Hut the actual
business spreads over a period of

“Saturday the entire staff worked.
Next Sunday everyone will work and
still we are behind in the work.”

In January the hank received ap
plications for loans totaling $7,000,
000, investigated $4,000,000 worth and
loaned $5,000,000. The business in
February will be about the same.
, The fact that the loans In Iowa
amount to more than In any other
state in the district is explained by
