INVEST AT HOME.

The recent failures of three or four
"get rich-quick" concerns in st. Louis
and Chicago, by which people all over
the country were swindled out of
sums ranging from S. to $1,000, only
shows how plainly people with money
can be gulled into divesting it in such
concerns. These are not the only
methods by which the investor is rob-
bed. There are any number of schemes
that with an oily-tongued "piker"
can be made to look like bonanza.
Gold mines, silver and copper mines,
distilling companies and stock COM
panies Of various kinds furnish splen-
did bait for the gullible public.
People with money to invest are to
be found in every community and these
concerns, that pay enormous profits,
on paper, is what catches them. How
many men who have, say $1,000, to
invest would take $1,000 stock in
legitimate enterprise that paid 6 per
cent on the investment, annually?
If some responsible man, one who en-
joyed the confidence of the community
were to take a paper and solicit sub
scriptions for stock to establish i'm our
midst factory Of any kind, to be
operated by our people and in the
management of which he would have
voice, how many 81, 900 subscriptions
would he get? Not many. Yet there
are those who will invest money in
copper mines, lotteries, horse-racing
schemes and other "get-rich-quick"
concerns with no possible assurance
that they will ever see a penny of
their Investment. If they prove al
right, you win, If all wrong you lose.
The difference is this: In an enter
prise Of the kind mentioned, when
you invest your money in, we will say,
a condensed milk factory, or knitting
factory to be located i'm your town,
you become a stakeholder to the
amount of your investments. You
have voice In the management of its
affairs. You can at any time inspect the
working of it and see how it is run,
and if any dissatisfaction or doubt
exists relative to it you have some
recourse. Again you have assisted in
adding an improvement to your town,
the benefits of which are far-reaching.
You have helped to furnish employ
ment to some laboring man and have
sent ray of sunlight and happiness
into some humble home that was
otherwise cherries. Clearly your
conscience would be easier, your eye
brighter and your step more elastic
in the consciousness of having done
good.
How about the 'get-rich-quick'
scheme? When you invest your
money in any of them you lose con-
troll of that investment. You have
no voice in the management of the
vast funds that are gathered from its
army OF investors; they are all stran-
gers to you and all of you are perhaps
ignorant OF the State laws under
which it is operated. From the time
you place your investment you are a
slave to worry and excitement. You
pass sleepleSs nights and your waking
hours are hours of restlessnesS and
when the bottom falls out and you
realize the utter failure you are first
amazed and then glad the strain is
over.
Surely the comparison between the
two would make a nan with money
and "A conscience seek a safe conserya-
tive investment If for no other reason
than the pleasure and enjoyment
derived therefrom. Try The condensed
milk factory.

the ISTHMlAN CANAL.

1t Is indeed source of qualification
to the people of the United States
that the Senate has ratified the treaty
with Columbia by which a canal can
and will be constructed across the
isthmus. The vote was taken on
Tuesday and resulted in 10 on the af.
firmative and on the negative side OF
the question.
The extra session was called by Pre-
sident Roosevelt for this purpose above
all Others and it is indeed a matter of
congratulation that the desired end
has been accomplished with such
a small loss of time.
The matter of opening up water
way across the isthmus is one of the
most stupendous engineering projects
of modern times, and one which has
been in contemplation for number
of years. The effects will be far reach
ing and of great benefit to the world
commercially, and that this dream Of
years is at last to come reality is
nothing more than in keeping with
the progress of the world along other

Statistics sometimes reveal startling
conditions. During the three years
ending June 3Oth, 1890, 21,S46 people
were killed on the railways of the
United States. This practically the
same number killed in the Boer war,
which lasted three years. During the
same three years about $4,000 people
were murdered in this country. Is
this in keeping with out boosted civil
lzation?
