fabulous prices, but in the panic

So Thurston consulted Solomon
Juneau. Juneau said, Don't take
it. Real estate in Milwaukee is

Thurston followed Juneau's advice.
The lot was that upon which the
Old Insurance building now stands.
Opportunities existed in the early
times, but they were not more
easily recognizable then they are
now. It takes genius to recognize
opportunities, and it always did,
and always will Moreover there
always has been, as there always
will be, an element of chance in
speculative investments of every
kind.
1t is highly improbable that Mr..
Spencer purchased his Prospect
Avenue property as a speculative
investment. He wanted a home,
and picked out what he liked, and
what was within his means at the
time. He could have had any
amount of lake frontage then and
tor years afterward at prices that
would look ridiculously small today.
So would anyone else VINO was

It is often asserted that the oppor-
tunities for acquiring wealth are
becoming more restricted than they
we're, and that, to use Orator Bryan S
phrase. the present age offers no
opportunity to the young man.
People who have adopted this mel
ancholy conclusion see what they
take for proof of it on every hand.
A striking instance, form their point
of view, was offered the other day,
when R. G. Spencer sold for some
thing over $4,000 his residence
property on Prospect avenue, which
he bought for $1,000 at the time of
the Civil War. It is considered
hardly likely that the purchaser will
make as much profit on the property
in an equal period of time as Mr..
Spencer made. Then where is the
chance for the young man? But if
the young men of earlier genera
tions had opportunities 50 much
superior to those which offer now,
how is it that many of the old
settlers Of Milwaukee who have
survived to the present time are not
enormously rich: Some of them are
we'll to do. while others are no
wealthier than if they had been born
into the present age Of contracted
opportunity. The late Silas Chap
man used to relate an anecdote
which may be recalled in elucidation
of the circumstance that the old
settlers did not all load up with real
estate when it was to be had for
a song. There was a carpenter
named Thurston. Mr.. Chapman s
story ran, who did some work in 1886
for which he could not collect his
pay. In 1887 he brought suit
against his debtor and secured
judgement amounting, with cost,
to SIS. The debor, having no money,
but being possessed Of real estate,
offered to transfer to Thurston
city lot if the latter would accept
it in satisfaction of the judgement.
Thurston was not confident as to
the value of the lot. In 1885 Mil
waukee real estate had risen to

Washington Post: The North
Carolina legislature has just enacted
a law doing away with the practice
of kissing the bible in courts and
other places where an oath is to be
administered. A rather amusing
debate attended the ceremony, but
with that we need not concern our
selves. Enough that the oscillations
now prohibited in North Carolina
a consummati1n much to be com
mended.
The custom originated in time
of superstition, when it was an
article in everybody's faith that it
the murderer could be made to touch
his dead victim the wounds would
break out afresh and blood proclaim
The misrceant's guilt; when witch
craft" was seriously regarded as a
mortal sin, and ghosts, astrologers
and magicians figured in every creed.
In those days they believed that if
a person kissed the bible and then
told a lie no would drop dead
stricken by an angry and offended
jehovah. Modern enlightenment,
however, has shown us that the
periurer kissed and survives. The
liar prospers He kisses the bible as
readily as he would table or chair
and then reels off his falsenoods
with an unrufHed brow 1t is no
longer possible for any Intelligent
man to believe that the kissing of
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1903-02-27

the bible has the smallest value to
the testimony of the witness. Honest
men will tell the truth without any
prompting of superstition. Dishonest
men will lie as fuently in the pre-
sence of the bible as in that Of the
dictionary or the atlas. The practice
in question, therefore, is as futile as
it is unclean. North Carolina has
done we'll to regulate it to the limbo
of credulity and ignorance.

At times the treasury has a large
surplus on hand, and would like to
temporarily distribute it among
banks which can offer ample secur-
ity. Heretofore government bonds
have been considered the only got d
security. Senator Aldrich prop oses
the acceptance Of ..state and NUM-
cipal bonds and first per cent, rail
road mortgage bonds, under certain
limitations. He holds that bonds of
states and cities of 100000 and over,
which have, not defaulted in single
payment for twenty-five years, and
first railrad mortgage bonds which
have paid their interest promptly
for ten years, should. be considered
ample security for a portion of the
nationl deposits. He says this will
produce greater elasticity of tho
currency when that currency is
the most needed for commercial
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1903-02-27

requirements. It is something like
the asset system, but much better
and safer. Milwaukee municipal
bonds would come within the cate
CORY of safe security. Every year
the national bonds become less and
less in amount. and one object is
to provide against that narrowest
of security. Some will say we
should not go beyond g government
bonds, but these have become so
high in price that it lis very difficult
for the interior banks to obain
these bonds to offera as a guarantee
of security.
There will be an inclination to
accept municipal bonds which have
not defaulted a single time in twenty
five years, in preference to railroad
mortgage bonds. The municiple
bonds cover all the city property,
and therefore, when issued by the
older cities, have always been con-
sidered an impregnable investment.
The bonds of such cities as Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Louis vary in
price scrce]v less than government
bonds.
The bill of Senator Aldrich should
be carefully considered. 1t is step
towards an emergency currency.
The advocates of the original
emergency currency proposition
demand no security whatsoever
from the banks. The bills will be
issued on merely the credit of the
bank. Certainly the municipal bond
of a great city is more to be relied
upon as security than the unguaran-
teed credit of any banking corpora
ton. Senator Aldrjch is a states
man, and he is trying to cover an
emergency currency with a strong
safeguard.
This oil should be carefully con-
sidered by Congress. Some think
it will prevent the Fictitious value
Of money in New York, which was
caused from September to January
by combination among the banks
of that city to make more money
out of the customers. That Fictitious
value for money injured or famed
many thousands of people. Senator
Aldrich's bill is designed to prevent
such crisis as occurred during the
past year.
It is 80 late in the session that we
do not think that this bill will be-
considered. Money is now much
cheaper in New York, and there

beyond the widest expectations of
any one during the war time, and
the good taste which Mr.. Spencer
showed in selecting residence site
has been indicated, enabling him to
realize handsome profit, which he
is philosopher eno"gh to gather in.
But when he bought for $1,000 in
1864 what was to sell for $54, 600 in
1908, anybody else could have done
the same, yet nobody else wanted to.
The opportunity Of wealth was there
so it seems, as matters have turn
ed OUTPUT the opportunities of
wealth are not labeled. They were
not labeled then, any more than
they are now. Undoubtedly they
exist now, as they existed then.
1t is in harmony with what is
known of human nature to predict
that there will be people half century
hence lamentlng that they belong
to a generation which is cursed by
a restriction Of opportunity for the
young man. and confident that if
they had only been born half a
century earlier they could have
leaped easily into aff1uence. It is
equally safe to forecast that while
those croakers of the latter half of
the Twentieth Century are bemoan-
ing their hard fate, there will be
level headed, industrious, sagacious,
contemporaries of theirs, plunging
into action and erecting and COM
manding opportunities for them
selves as men of morrow have
created and commanded opportun-
tiles since the beginning of time.-
