-tiis ;liberal, democrat HENRY FORD WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF U. S. Builder of Flivera Seeks High Office And Has Good Scheme To Get It There is no longer any doubt con' cerning the intentions of Henry Ford, builder of Fords, Fordsons ,and mana ger of a railroad system idividually1 owned .to become a candidate for president. ' Ford is smart enough to know that he could not secure the nomination at the hands of either the dominant parties and comes out with his an nouncement as an independent candi date, and nothing but death can head him off in his desire to run for pres ident. And Ford will be a contender for the place. With three candidates, he will get a strong labor vote, and no doubt will run well in the farming districts of many states. We would Dot take his candidacy as a joke by any means, and should his name ap pear on the ballot, there will be some hustling on the part of both Demo crats anr Republicans.

NEW YORKERS' LATEST SLANG Werd "Quaint" Has Found Much Favor Among Those Who Affect The Artistic Life. "Quaint" Is the latest word of the World tluit nuiHt have a new and un common udjective. It has quite out moded "iiimislng" In the slung of the tudlos and among those who affect the artistic lire. The dictionary meaning of the word "combining an antique appearance with a pleasing oddity, funclfulness, or whlmsiculiiess" has beeu quite submerged In the rslng craze for its use. When the governor's (laughter In "The Tavern" said to the vagabond. "You are the quaintest man I ever knew" she did not really mean what the dictionary says the word means. She was admiring his powers of deduction. But the "latest" word had been worked into the speech and that was the desired thing. The tone always used In connection with "quaint" Is patronizing, whether It Is applied to a human being, a picture, or what not. The user Invariably tries to give the Impression that the object thus passed upon could have been done ever so much better If he, er she, had had a hand In making it To be "quaint" nowadays Is to be ever so slightly damned. New York Herald. Human Factor Counts. Lord Telgnmouth, In a letter to the London Times, writes : "In the contro versy between the advomtes of bat tle or surface ships and admirers of the submarine, one factor, and that a vwry important one, has been altogeth- ' er Ignored namely, the liuma'n fac tor. Ships are built to carry human beings; and, as far as present statls- , tics enable one to Judge, no submersi ble vessel has yet been constructed tn which men can live for more than a few weeks, continuously, without deteriorating, mentally and physi cally, owing to the abnormal condi tions prevailing on board. . Man Is an . adaptable creature, and possibly, In fre course of a century or so, a race of human beings may be evolved ' which cun exist, comfortably, with out . fresh ii I r, exercise or change of scene. In the meantime, surface ships .will be voted the most habitable. Doc tor Johnson must surely have had a U-boat In mind when he declared that being tn a ship Is being In Jail, with 'the chance of being drowned.'" - m rg Pique....
