If ther is a concern In the United States that ought to pay Its taxes without a protest it is he Ford Motor Company. In turning to a defense of Ford's son, Edsel. and his exemption from military service while other boys of 1k.js fortunate circumstances had to fight and be killed. Senator Thomas found his task peculiarly difficult. But. the senator was resourceful. "He (Edsel) Is not given to wasting his father's substance in riotous living. He has no public record for over-indulgence in wine, women, and song." The purity or the young Edsel Is set before the country as a reason why his father should he put in the senate to represent the great state of Michigan in defiance of the will of the. voters expressed at the lat election. Another stumbling block in his Ford defense the senator found in the contract, amounting to $50,000,000, more or less, for the Ford "eagles," with which the country has been made painfully familiar, nut see how neat !y Mr. Thomas met that obstacle. "The Ford output," said he, "especially in ships, has been attacked as spurious and deficient, 'i do not believe it, because such is not the reputation of the Ford product." The senator made the mistake, as have others before him, that efficiency in the construction of flivers necessarily carries with it great powers of production of 250-foot ships. By sad experience the country has been taught, the fallacy

j of that assumption.

The speech of Senator Thomas was occasioned by a vitriolic attack on Mr. Ford delivered by the senator from Illinois, Mr. Sherman. The Colorado scion expressed the hope that Mr. Ford will n.5t reply In kind, quoting the caution of the Scriptures. "Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced." But Mr. Ford and his Democratic managers are attempting to nake a jest of the laws of Michigan, and to reduce to

impotency the wil of the voters registered at a regular

election.

GOVERNMENT CEASES TO FUNCTION. Congressman V'ill R. Wood, who waj in Hammond yesterday meeting his constituents, is one of the many congressmen who bitterly criticize the administration for the course it is pursuing with regard to the conduct of affairs vital as life and death to the American people. "In Washington." declared Congressman Wood, "the government is not functioning at all. Our president is away, the vice president is away. There is no secretary of state, no secretary of war, no secretary of the navy. The head of the war industries board is gone. The country Is running itself. There is so much to be done, but there 1? nothing being done." It was a timely arraignment of the Wilson administration. Mr. Wood is outraged at' the conduct of the men who are in charge of the affairs of this government. He has just returned from a visit in Central American waters with a party of United States senators and congressmen, and the conditions there astonished him. He Baw at Panama shipping from all over the world, and not one American flag except on the ship his party was on. He is bitterly opposed to the league of nations and says that It means the surrender of United State? sovereignty, while England gobbles up the trade of the world, as she is doing now. A talk with the eoneressman would soon convince anyone that the country' is drifting towards rocks and shoals unless something Is done to prevent it, and prevent it mighty soon. There never has been a time in the history of this country when there was more necessity for attention to th? nation's domestic needs in legislation and administration than there is today, and there never was a time when, due to the absence of the executive and most of his cabinet from Washington and the successful presidential filibuster '--inst a session of congress, these n?pds were having .ess attention th.tn they are getting row.

THE ONLY WAY TO ADVERTISE. It isn't necesarj" any more to tell people of affairs that the newspaper is the only real effective medium for advertising. They know it, manufacturers and business men are doing more advertising In newspapers than they ever did before. Under the caption "We cover the country like a blanket" the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company tells its dealers and patrons that the newspaper is the best advertising medium known to man. In a current issue of the "Goodrich Magazine" appears an article on newspaper advertising which has a message for every business man. The article is headed "Every Goodrich Newspaper Ad Reaches From 30.000,000 to 60,000,0000 People 2000 Tapers Carry 1919 Goodrich Message." The article itself reads as follows: "Our major effort this ypar will be in the daily newspapers. This is the people's medium more widely read and more generally circulated than any type of advertisement known to man. Newspaper advertising fs not only the most direct way to sell to the customer, but it is likewise the most satisfactory from your own standpoint as a dealer. Often you can, at a very small expense Insert your ad near our big ones and get the benefit of our slam. In other words, we sell the tire and then you ccrne along and say 'and you get them of us.' "We shall use a unique and effective type of ad this year, single and double column size, running the full' length of the paper. We are thus sure of a good location and the prospect will soon get the force of thi characteristic type of space."

AUTO NUMBERS. Wouldn't it be possible to hare some other place for one number of an automobile than at the rear, where a person cannot see it when the chauffeur is violating the speed law? It should be on the side in big figures, where hf spocta'nr cni'd f-e It and know who is thundering don the street with such calamitous celerity. Is it possible that there is an understanding between public authority and the speeder in order to save the latter from arrest? We don't say there is, but the conditions of the problem might justify that conclusion. Let the number be p'aced on the side, where it would have an Influence in regulating speed end saving some lives.

FEEBLE DEFENSE OF FORD. In anticipation of seeing their attempt to unseat Penator-elect Newberry turn into a boomerang against their own candidate, the Democrats of the senate are busily engaged in building up a defense for Mr. Ford that lhv hope will successfully resist the assaults of the Republicans. Senator Thomas of Colorado is the latest recruit actively to enroll himself in the Ford guard. In the dcussion rf tre rivr and harbor b'll in the c'opine days of the enntress, th Colorado senator r"nrnrtof th attention of the fonatp to be d'vortprj while he rmd a l-nftny and fulsome eulogv to the Wilson rrotee f'oivi Michigan, whom he described as a "sublunary",' man. . Mr. Thomas thinks that Ford is entitled to groat credit because he has never come to congress during th consideration of a revenue bill to protest agsinst th taxes levied on his industry, a record that he contrasted with that of the representatives of some other lines of endeavor. The truth is that most of those who hav pled for a reduction of their taxe did so because they knew that the contemplated rates would work ruin to their business; for instance, the publishers of small periodicals saw failure staring them in the face if the increased postage rates as at first proposed were adopted. Mr. Ford, on the other hand, has been making money faster than the share-holders in his company could spend it, ar.d

LET STILLS ALONE. Once in a while you'll hear some chap who ought to know better say as he winks his eye, "Oh, I'll have my little old still and make my own, don't worry." Well, nobody will need to worry but the man who has a still, and he will do considerable of it before Uncle Sam gets through with him for, the government doesn't permit the operation of a still for the manufacturing of liquor. Uncle Sam says: Severe penalties are provided in recent laws for the sale and operation of an illicit still. The same regulations which apply to a legitimate distillery cover the case of a still, however small, which may be used for "home" purposes. The manufacturer must register with the Internal revenue bureau and pav a special tax of $50 a year. An additional tax of $20 is levied on each still manufactured. A permit must be procured before a still can be removed and the burden is on the manufacturer to show the purpose for which it is to be used. If liouor is not to be distilled an affidavit must be fled with the l-ical collector and the address of the buyer given. The government has a prior lien on all nro-perty. including land, buildings and anparatus. where a still is put in operation. In the care of rented property, the government's lien takes precedence over that of the owner. Upon conviction of illicit distUl'ng heavy fines and imprisonment are provided, and the property can be confiscated. It is ? violation of the law to make a mash or even slart ocess of distillation, even if it is never completed. So it mar be just as well to study the above carefully when you consider the distillation of corn mash. The government's edict is extremely rigid. There is no leeway for breaking the law in it. The federal prison looms just as big for the illicit distiller as it does for the maker of snurious coin. If you think it doesn't, just ask any friendly lawyer.

THE H. C. L. Editor Times: Tour paper recently warned the people to watch the prices they pay, and It deserves thanks for the warning. It may be news to the users, but in many instances the profit of the retailer Is one hundred or even two hundred per cent greater than all others combined. If Swift & Co. or the Standard Oil Co. took as big a proflt as the retailer for the last twenty years, their wealth would be billions Instead f millions. The big retailer takes almost as large a profit as the small one end believe me "they toll not neither do they spin".

yet Solomon never had automobiles or I

residences like them. If a tanner makes thirty cents on the leather in a pair of shoes and the retailer three dollars profit when he sells them, he hurts my pocket book ten times as much as the tanner. The fact that the tanner may make, big money by large sales does not hurt me. Consumers should co-operate In buying and by increasing sales and reducing the expenses of retailers, reduce the price of goods to themselves and thus benefit both the shopkeeper and themselves.

YOUR DANDRUFF AND

STOPS FALLING HAIR

Advertise in The Times and advertise again. Results come with constant effort.

Save your hair! Make it thick, wavy and beautiful try this! Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to th hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of its lustre, its strength and Its very.llf: eventually producing a feverifhness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight now any time will surely save your hair. Get a email bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and. fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness: but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks' use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair new hair growing all over the scalp.
