fair TO presume its statements are
correct.
Capital is timid" has been re.
peated so often that it has become
an aphorism, but it is nevertheless
untrue. 1t is granted that only a
very small per cent Of Of the worlds
money can be commanded for ex-

il can be commanded for almost
any enterprise in which there is
reasonable prospect for fair returns.
