CORDOVA, ALASK A. TIKSDAV I AT'.N’I N< i. JUNE 27, l!>1(i.
FORD GOING TOO FAR
In tlie Times today is a short news item to the effect that
Homy Ford', obcessed by his peace mania, lias promulgated a
i iiliiig that no man in liis employ, or working for any of the
companies in which Ford lias the controlling interest may be
long to any prcpan dness league, national guard of other group
of men who believe in armed fore*, under pain ot instant
dismissal.
Ford has many admirers. Men who admire him tor his
mechanical genius ami business perspicacity, as well as for the
decided stand lie ha" taken in his belief that war is wrong and
should he suppressed.
As long as Ford believes and preaches peace and non
resistance he will lie respected' by all, whether they agree with
him or not, but when he tries to force bis belief on men who are
working for him, using bis power as an employer as a lever, he
should be suppressed.
The principle is wrong in any event. However, if Ford at
tempts to place himself above the government of the Fnited
States and says a man in bis employ shall not take steps such as
lie believes are to the best interests of his home and country,
then Ford is guilty of moral treason. ,
The Times believes that if Ford should discharge a mar
from bis employ because that man was a believer in the insti
tutions of his country and joined the national guard, the man so
discharged would have an action against Ford for heavy
damages.
Whether legal or not, tin* storm of public disapproval
which would descend upon tin* manulacturer of automobiles
would leave no doubt even in bis egotistical mind as to where
the people of this country stand.
It is evident that Ford ,!ik<* so many ot the newly rich,
whose •■nties long hav< made American the laughing stock of
the world, has a greatly overestimated ideas as to the power
of his wealth.
His riches may influence many to rally about him, but it
is safe to say that there are thousands of men working in his
factories today who, if danger threatened, would immediately
tell Ford to go to Gehenna if he triad to interfere with their
personal liberties.
ti.<> Times would like to see this man Ford’ sat upon.
-;o:
WAR MUST COME NOW.
Yesterday the government of the Fnited States demanded
the release of the American soldiers captured at Carrizal and
held as prisoners in the penitentiary at Chihuahua City.
The Times believes that this move will be the immediate
cause of a declaration of war, as it almost is certain the Mexi
cans will refuse the demand, in which event hostilities must be
commenced by the Fnited States.
Just how the Mexicans can justify their action in holding
American soldiers as prisoners when the countries are not at
war, and why this government has been so slow in demanding
their release, are unanswerable questions.
But the die now has been east, and it is a safe prediction
that within twenty-four hours the United States and Mexico
will be at war.
-10:
VILLA AND CARRANZA.
According to the dispatches yesterday the aim of Carranza
in starting the trouble between the United States and Mexico,
as seen by most Americans, lias been attained by the reconcili
ation of Villa.
To rule a united Mexico, even though that country be
ruined in a disasti>..i.s war, is better in tue wyes of Carranza
than to hold the slippery reins of government with Villa in the
field against him. Once more the bandit Villa is recognized by
his own government, and' it is safe to say that Carranza never
i gain will allow him to attain the power and prestige which he
gained before.
it is better for th > United States that the two men are to
gether once again. It will now be possible for our troops to
enter the country with the full knowledge that every man in
uniform, unless he be an American, is an enemy.
-:-:
Forty years ago Sunday the Custer massacre occurred.
The Indians who wvie responsible, or their desceudents, are
ri(Av very tame and civilized wards of this government. Forty
years from now it may be possible to look back at the massacre
of Carrizal w ith the same thought.
-;o:
(General Trevino, commander of the Mexican forces in
Northern Mexico, appears to be a regular fire eater. He issues
orders for the annihilation of the Americans every morning
before breakfast.
---:o:
The greatest battles of the European war are being fought
hese days, yet they attract little attention in America. This
country is more interested in her own little war.
-:o:

Don’t ever again complain about the rain in Cordova.
--:o:
Apropos of nothing, the government railroad at Seward
has laid off men until the commission gets more money.
