MISCELLANY
And now, may the Lord bless Mr.
Henry Ford. He’s our ideal Amer
ican. As you know, he’s not for
war. It was he who sailed a peace
ship to Europe in the other world
war.
And yet, Mr. Henry Ford went to
work last March clearing off trees
for the biggest industrial plant in all
or country, and that for the pur
pose of making the tools of war. He
didn’t wait for government con
tracts. He did it with his own mon
ey. Today it is a colossal factory
and a flying field.
If he lives, perhaps we should
make him president. Certainly he
has shown himself the First of Pa
triots, devoting his life, his fortune,
and his sacred honor.
You couldn’t stand him up along
side of the Congress grabbers, could
you?
After all, Big Business isn’t so
bad.
Anew Bible has come out, call
ed “The Quotable Bible.” It simply
gleans the finest of the scriptural
wheat, and has been lately reviewed
by one Mr. Edward J. Goodspeed,
who marvels that this Quotable Bi
ble in its notes seems to think that
Jonah himself wrote the Book of
Jonah. He calls this an “extraor
dinary idea.”
Well, maybe we are woefully ig
norant, but we had always supposed
that Jonah wrote his own book. He
does not die in the book, as you
know, while the Mosaic books do in
deed record the death of Moses. Yet
not one questions that Moses did
indeed write the Pentateuch.
This war is being death to our
oldtime prejudices. We can think
of six different kinds of prejudice:
international, like disdaining the
Mexics and calling them “greasers;”
Sectional, like hating the north,
and calling them and Yankees;
Racial, like hating the Negro, and
calling him “Nigger;”
Religious, like hating the Jew, and
calling him “Sheeny;”
Sectarian, like hating those of
another faith, and calling them
heretics.
Now, all of that, in a self-perfect
democracy, has to go, must go. How
much of it is in your heart, and
mine?
As we have heretofore remarked,
Mrs. Roosevelt is just about the
nearest perfect democrat (you note
we do not use a capital) that has
yet come into public view.
Just as we try to keep too much
fat off our bodies, for their best
fitness, so we should try to keep
too much verbiage out of our speech
and writing. Adipose tissue, it is
called. Sometimes it makes tumors.
And folks do at times talk and write
like that.
They say Joe Louis, the Negro
fighter, is rather a good sort. And
specially good at making his words
cover Ijiis answer without extra foli
age. He uses words to cover his
thinking, and then stops.
Someone said humorously that
words were invented to conceal
thought. And often, quite general
ly, they do. But you will note that
our best columnists of this day care
fully avoid trying to be profound;
and our best speakers, like the
President, always attempt to come
down to the tongue of the average
man.
Hereafter, mey it be our plan
and policy to write in words “no
more than just enough.”
Our First Lady shows a conver
sant acquantaince with the Bible.
Not long ago she spoke of our liv
ing in a time of “spiritual wicked
ness in high places,” she
reminded the nation of the injunc
tion “Avenge not yourselves, but
rather give place to wrath.” That is,
for the time when peace shall come.
And yet, this writer cannot agree
ably engage in thoughts of what to
do when peace shall come. Too trou
bled over the present. As some
financier has said, when one is get
ting married he doesn’t bother about
how to get a divorce.
Going back to the Bible, Gover
nor Stevenson of Texas has said
that Isaiah prophesied the present
tire status, in his third chapter,
wherein Isaiah said, “In that day the
Lord will take away
their round tires like the moon.”
We think, however, the prophet’s
words were leveled at lightheaded
women of fashion.
