HENRY FORD'S PEACE SHIP The fact that Andrew Carnegie has made no effort to stop the European war is perhaps attributable to his advanced age and to the shrinking of his fortune: as a result of vast donations. The mission of Henry Ford recalls Mr. Carnegie's alleged effort to bring peace to the restive Filipinos through the purchase of the Philippines from the United States in order to present them to their inhabitants- a remarkable proposition of which the government at Washington was reported as declining to take any notice whatever.

The R04 counts do not indicate that Henry Fort, another American with "money to burn," will attempt to buy off Europe's warring rulers, and yet, with the failnre of Miss Jane Ad dams' similar mission to enlighten him, he must realize that rhetoric and persuasion alone will not suffice. Mr. Ford's war voyage and the enthusiasts accepting his invitation to become guests on his peace ship call to mind the confiding hopes and misguided adventures of Don Quixote of La Mancha, It is stated that Mr. Ford and his friends will go to The Hague, an international court," and invite the warring Nations to send delegates.thus following in the unavailing footsteps of Miss Jane An dams and her associate ladies, But. he mast have othet schemes and expectations, for he i is taus quoted.

"The men in the trenches know for what we are working. 1 have all that on Christmas day the world will see a general faith strike- that men will climb from the trenches, throw down their arms and start home. And then militarism will be dead for Apparently Mr. Ford is expecting miracle fully as wonderful that at Jericho, where, after trumpet blasts and shouts by the Braelites, the walls of the chemy's city fell to the ground. But notwithstanding the fact that Ford's peace ship doubtJess will be a failure, so far n4 bringing peace by Christmas concerned, yet psychological effect of this audacious project is bound to, the tremendous.

Fail though it must, vet there are some Vures more glorious than successes. And "Matched with failure so high-hearted All is necan beside." Many men pod movements have seemed to fail when they were anything else but failures. Jesus failed, the Gracchi foiled. to Athenian democracy failed- thus far and as we see it, But we do not see it all. For the truth is that the cause of civilization and the rights of humanity are wit an much by its failures as by its successes.

So, here's hoping Henry Ford and his good peace ship will te successful and if that cannot be, then the next best thing-oftener a nobler thing--a glorious failure. All that is now left of Serbia is a fringe of territory along the southwestern border, its devoted defenders having been driven into the Albanian mountains. What effect the crusting of this small State will have on the fortunes of the war in general remains to be seen. According to General Gallienmi, the new French minister of war. it will have none.

He describes it as "the convulsions of a beast at bay and declares that events in the Balkans are of secondary intportance, pointing out that, while the German and Austrian armies are deteriorating daily in numbers and equipment, the armies of England, France, Russia, and Italy are growing stronger in both equipment and numbers.

This likely program discussion and may interfere with other ima prolonged portant measures that should be considered. There is every hard fight on the President a program. Mr. Bryan wign of a he will not join the Ford peace party at has announced that The Hague, but will stay in America and light the proposed and navy appropriations, This means. of course, that army the Commoner will camp in Washington during the rest of the winter and use his powerful personality and all the of at his command to prevent the appro powers persuasion riation of large amounts for the construction of dreaduaughta and the establishment of bigger army, Just how far Mr.

Bryan is willing to in preparing for war we do not know. We know he would not go far President Wilson wants Congress to go, but in all likelihood the former Secretary of State will agree to a compromise, in the event be and his friends should be powerful enough to demand a compromise measure. We rather think that Bryan's object in staying in Washington not so much to defeat the President's program 23 it is to defeat the program of the jingoes, the Nary League and others of that atripe, who would go as far beyond as Bryan would full short of the President's plan. a matter of fact, the admintatration's program, no set forth by the President in his New York speech is simply a compromise between the theories of Bryan and those of the Navy League which John Temple Graves represents, The big question now is whether Bryan, Kitehin and the rest of the anti- preparedness crowd will he chle to obtain still further concessions in their favor than have been granted by the President and his Cabinet in maiing up the administration's program. But the light over preparedness is not the only thing that will make this session of Congress interesting.

Most any old fight. would be more interesting in the sixty-fourth Concress than in the sixty-third, because, in the House tally, the contending political forces are much more evenly divided now than they were a year ago, While the Democrate have a larger majority in the Senate, the majority in the House is by 10 means the unwieldy thing it once was. With a majority of twenty-four over all other parties it can readily be seeti that the Democrats will have to hang tor pother much more solidly than they did last year, if they expect. to accomplish anything in the way of constructive legislation. The fact that preparedness measures are bound to be more or less of a non-partisan nature means that other and more partisan bills will likely provoke the most tuteresting fight of the session.

The Republicans, for instance, will try to revise the tariff. And this will cause a merry time. Also there are other important measures to be ered, including: Laws to extend the American merchant marine: rural furm loan been working and ultimate credit improvement through the establishment banks, upon which a joint committee his for many months: Philippine self-governmen: independence; revision of the trust Taws to prevent the dumping of cheap foreign products in American markets after the war and to permit American manufae(turers to establish collective selling agencies abroad: tional prohibition: prohibition for the Distriet of Columbia: Federal amendment for woman suffrage: amendments to the bank law: modification of the seaman's a national child labor law: conservation legislation to provide a note system for water power sites and mineral resources of the country: a law to provide for regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the issuance of railroad securities, and many other measures. Of course it is hardly possible that Congress will be able successfully to dispose of all these measures, However, the task is not an impossible one if the Senate establishes cloture rule, thus making endless filibustering impossible. From the way Colonel Harris "took it back." we judge that the Baptist brethren in Charlotte gave him definitely to understand once and for all that the messengers to the Baptist State Convention this week will be expected to abide strictly by the regulations of the Harvard plan.

We are, therefore, now prepared to inform our Baptist brethren who contemplate attending the convention, on no less high anthority than the Charlotte Observer, that they must either take along enough change to purchase dinner and supper or get ready to reconcile their system, to the one-meal-a-day treatment. The suffragette who has impeached Mr. Wilson for the "impertinent insult to women" involved in his "refusal to grant them independence" forgets in her excitement that the ballot is not a possible gift of any President and that Federal enactment is obtainable only through a constitationa, amendent submitted by the vote of Congress for the ratilien- tion of three-fourths of the States, The viale of this should have been poured out upon the real obstacles -the constitution and the people, TO THE GATES OF TODAY know the way to the Gates of Day, For. ever I hear a sweet Dream say: "Its over the waters dark and deep; But the lights of God fall not on sleepStill for vour guiding their watch they keep!
