PLEASE FORGIVE US.

May we be forgiven, but we cannot help exclaimning with a bursting and a proud heart, "We told you so." The Hua has met his master.

EAGLE BOATS. The first "F.agle Bom" was launched last week in Detroit. Several more will be launched this week. Soon they will be going into the -water at the rate of one a day. ?y next January, six months after the beginning of production, and one year after the concepton of the idea, there will be 200 of them turned out. It 1? one of the mos fascinating chapters in the his terry of our war preparsiions. The place where those boats are being made was an open fWd four months ago. Today there is a vast structure, immensely gre.'ter an more wonderful than the famous "Crystal Palace" of Lon don, equipped wit', every mechanical facility required to take in steel plates at one end and put out finished ships at the other in an endless row. It is Henry Ford's "flivver'" process transferred from automobiles to t-hips. Th Eseie Boats are real phlps more than -00 feet loner and weighing nearly 1.000 tons produced by a man who admits that he knows nothing whatever about ordinary shipbuilding. This particulat submarine flehter, a tort of modified destroyer, is if itself a totally new type of craft. Rut Its design is oi less interest than the method of making it, a method ai plied to one of the oldest of industrial arts, for the first time in history. Here is a naval "Tin Lizzie," a formidable fighting ehip- built entirely out of sheet steel stampings, without a -Ingle bit of forging or a rolled beam or shap In the whole craft. Keel, fit tors, frames, beams and angles, al are pressed from she- ruotal, cold, by automatic machinery that cuts .Tr.. pce to an exact pattern, punches the rivet holes and bends the part to it b flnal shape. AH there is to b ;: idinar such a ship is to plac the numbered pieces tr?oih"r and rivet them fast. Any mechanic can Jearn ihi work in a day or two. One more Lie- thins never done before one more little item in Tr..:'1 ri a 's war. Tli same principle is being applied la t'ie hie, new nhipjard at Hog Island, in th Production of "fabricated ships," but not so com Pii'or t th ; , 1 --'p show Gernuny ho'.v foolish r is'." .-ks Mr. Ford, erstwhile pacifist. Thy will, -v trust. And the fii ver warships will do 'more than give sea schtvcklichKeit its death blow. They wilj help Prussia, to a realization of the tremendous indua trial power she rais.d up against her when she drove America into the war.

RALSTON AND FORD. Lake count y with it patriotic thousands of soldier and sailer boys, will b a niis;litj poor and stony ground for Sam Ralston to come canipaitminz in next fall. The names of Kdsall Ford and Julian Ralston pet into the hall of fame tooihor. Young Ford, son of Henry Ford, the Wilson rr-.n who was hand picked by President Wilson to be the Republican senatorial nominee In Michigan, was exempted h Washington influences ana aoceecl the selective service law. Yount; RaLsion, son of exGovernor Ralston, o:" Indi.ma, the latter suppedly picked for the Democratic nomination for Tinted States senator in Indiana in lf2't, him also b-en exempted from the draft law. I-tr. Ford succeeded thus far in keeping his, own- boy "cut or the trenches." Mr. Ralston's son is in a jrovernrnt-nt bomb-proof joh at Washington and it is understood that J lie state department suggested that young Ralston be ox mprt-d because of his "aptitude" for certain work which admittedly could and should be done by an older roan or .a woman. It must be a little embarrassinc for a man like Ford, or for a man like Ralston, with such-family record--, to un forth

and rail against slackers or dodgers. Incidentally, recently exposed facts may prevent former Governor Ralston when he takes the stump this fall, from falling Into the habit acquired by some of the Democratic spellbinders who have been lmpunelnn the motives and questioning the sincerity of the war activity of all the Republicans wherever the opportunity presented itaelf.

It Is not nt all improbable that the day will come when, hs t!if Fort Wayne News says, the people of tht I'nitid States will hud themselves, in reforenco to thes.- great utilities that, have been seized under the pulse of war necessities, etactly as was that gentleman of historic tradition who took a bear by gie ail and then was unable tp let go, although dearly longing to do so.

under the law can direct exactly what, can and what

cannot pass through these avenues. It is authorized, il It so desires, to forbid the dissemination of information it sees fit to suppress, even though that information be of vital interest to the people. It is true that President. Wilson assured Congress that he would not permit the reports of the great press associations to be censored but lit- has the power to cen sor them, and it is an open question as to just what he might regard as censorship. In a government by political parties the conferring of a power of this sort, unret stricted and unrestrained, is a dangerous piece of business and savors too much of Russia fifty years ago to rest well with the average American who thinks. Presi dent Wilson may not abuse this power, it is true, and) we assume that ho will not, yet it is a dangerous impU) ment'to place in the hands of any man and especially in the hands of a partisan who is aileeed to entertain further political ambitions. Certainly it. is a power that was never contemplated by the architects of our government and certainly, too. it Is one that was never asked by any other president. , , Jf.rj It is generally felt that the taking over of the telegraph lines was absolutely needless and while it was do. sired both by the owners and by the employes, we real ize well enough that it means the heavy penalization ol the public. We shall have much higher rates and, goini by past experience with other government controlled util ities, a much inferior service. The whole thing is a mighty movement toward the consummation in practice of the socialistic theories cherished by the men whe dominate the present national administration.

"RULE OF REASON.

The implications of the Supreme Court's decision in the Shoe Machinery case are interesting. The judged have held that the company's control of shoe machiner"all over the country" is not necessarily monopolistic but is in consequence of "business foresight." They alsc hesitate to order the dissolution of the company into its constituent parts on the ground that th result may he disastrous. And the plain deduction from their findings Is that if a company deals fairly with its customers and if the public benefits from the economies and efficiencies of combination, mere size does not constitute a violation of the Sherman act. This Icoks like a definite application of the "rule of reason."

THE time when we feel that our fighting days are not over is when pome lons-faced old tyke wl'h either egg or tobacco Juice on h's chin or both, solemnly clears his throat and announces that it Is too bad the French and British government- couldn't fix if so that our boys over there wouldn't be able to get any liquor to make them drunk.
