A STUDY OF FAILURES,

An interesting pamphlet has recently
been issued by the Bradstreet company
containing study OF business failures
and the causes thereof. The results
are taken from failures occurring within
the past three years and the causes are
placed under two general divisions-due
either to the fault Of the proprietors or
otherwise. As the percentage of fail
ures in Montana is very small compared
with those of the more developed east,
the conclusions ought to interest our
business men.
OF the 1920 failures in the country
last year, 3,343, or 1915 per cent, are
ascribed to lack Of sufficient capital for
the business in hand. Incompetence is
credited with 1876; disaster, 1872; fraud
ulent disposition of property, 1913; mex
perience, 50; unwlse credits. A; outside
speculation, 10; neglect of business, 8;
extravaganza, Ia; failure of others, 10;
undue competition, IL per cent.
OF the failures in 1892, the percentage
of liabilities due to incompetence was
1913; inexperience, 3; lack of capital. 81;
unwise crediting, 4.3; outside specula-
ton, Z; neglect OF business, 1.6; extrav-
agance, 1.5; fraud, 9.3; disaster, 25.S;
failure of others, &C; undue competi.
tion, 1.2.
A striking feature Of the figures shown
in the report is that more than three
fourths of the failures are caused by the
fraud, Incompetence or inability of those
who fail. Less than twenty-five per
cent are due to accidents or other
causes.
These results will strike every reas-
oner as very fair. The great majority
of assignments, however, are not neces-
sarily due to the actual inability sof a
business man to manage his affairs. In
most instances, failures result from over
competition and lack of capital to COM
pete with the men who can stand the
strain. Then, too many other condi-
tious arise necessitating an assignment,
but not rejecting on the integrity or
intelligence of the unfortunate man.
sometimes caused by few manpula-
tors of the worlds great money markets
and then all business men are forced to
take the consequences. 1t takes a
smart man to adjust his capital to a fine
scale with the business of a town. If
he is an energetic, ambitious and push
ing merchant, he will take risks rather
than train along with the third-rate fol
lows who do not seek after new business
when it will cause them to run in debt
in their efforts. If they overestimate
the mark and are forced to an assign
ment, they are placed in Bradstreet's
class Of failures caused by the faults Of
those who fail, and yet they exhibit the
same business qualifications which win
success under more favorable condi-
tiOns.

A bill has been introduced in the
Connecticut legislature to punish the
writer's of "false and untruthful ac-
counts Of any events which never oo-
Cured, happened or otherwise existed" +"
This is An unheard Of blow at the press
and would indicate that Connecticut
legislators are trying to get even with
newspaper men who printed truthful ac-
count of things which occurred, hap
peued or otherwise existed.

WE are slow to believe that Henry A.
Root is hypnotlst. He has many ac-
complishmenta but it hypnotism were
among them he would have made scien-
tito experiments in the Davis case
which afforded opportunities for 4
crucial test The fact that no one went
to sleep during the trial leads us to be-
lieve that the press dispatches confused
Mr.. Root with that eminent public hyp-
notist, Henry w. Blair.

THE idea of holding mass meeting
in New York for the benefit Of mur-
derer whose friends have exhausted all
legal means to save his neck, ought to
be repugnant to all good citizens, and in
particular, to the Hon. Joseph II.
Choate, who will preside. Public SYM
pathy is all very fine until it comes
squarely in contact with justice; then it
becomes an enemy to law and order.

The BEST POLICY.
Where Honesty Should Begin, and Where
IL should Often End.

Where Honesty Should Begin, and Where
1t should Often End.
Stealing is one matter; dishonesty Is
quite another. To most of rs there Is
no temptation to take what doesn't be
long TO Us. There is temptation. and
we don't often resist ii. to be something
short Of perfectly frank and true. One
reason for this is that the current pleas-
ant speech which means nothing insen-
sibly enlarges into other pleasant
speeches which do mean something, but
don't mean the truth. No one expects
to be entirely believed who says Il am
glad 10 see YOU" OF Il regret TO add. "
Yet from these stock phrases 1t Is smooth
sailing into what says more and means
still less.
Obviously one could not go about the
world dealing, like Afr. Gradgrlnd, sole
ly in facts. Often facts are brutal. A
good and wise mother was once asked
by daughter with q morbid conscience
and a tender heart: What shall l say
to a guest who interrupts me and whom
/ am not at all glad 10 see! Shall
imply that | ann The answer was
carefully considered. When il was
given il was this: Try to put yourself
II. ner place, IISI VI ali AINH = ~ AA-Nf
find something very pleasant TO say
without bringing your own personality
| into the matter at all. If not, you can
usually take refuge in the weather and
exclaim that she is brave 10 face the
storm or wise TO test the sunshine. Ii
YOUR handclasp is hearty and your face
| is smiling you have done your part.
| And then work to make the welcome
| for her that was not ready.
II believe in always speaking the
truth" said another girl in moment
| of reflection, "but there is no need Of
| speaking all the truth" There is vol
ume Of sense in that one sentence. ST.
lence may be false on occasions where
| it is cowardly not to bear witness. Of
tener it may be the result of kindly
feeling of tender consideration for what
| the speech would hurt. Remember
| that to hurt is to harm. This is as pal
| pable as that falsehood even well meant
is wrong. 1t is a difficult, tactful
| question in ethics to decide between the
| hurting and the classifying. 1t has an
answer though Women are more given
| by their very softness of nature, to I'M
truths than are men. Yet they oftener
| glide out of a hard position without
the faint of deceit. This, the world
says, is because tact is feminine be
longing. Now tact answers the whole
problem. And what is it? Its other
name is love. RUTH HALL.
