Advice from Headquarters.

III Tom Lawson's advice to the young
man with his first thousand dollars is
!" don It speculate. One Of the biggest
gamblers who has ever sat in the game,
who has won and lost millions and is
now reputed to have a tidy balance as
the result of his operations, Lawson
speaks from full knowledge. Young
men seeking to double their first: thou
sand dollars have been the softest prey
for Lawson and his kind. The stock
broker must make his money from
some one. If he makes it all from his
fellows it will come down to a case of
the survival Of the fttest. The street
must have victims with "real money!
in order to perpetuate it's game, just
Jas. the gambler whose calling is forbid
den by law needs lambs - and would
be sports to fatten upon.
Lawson s advice is good. Wall street
produces nothing, yet it takes millions
every year to simply pay for carrying
on the business of Wall street. It takes
100000 to buy seat on the New York
stock exchange, which simply secures to
the holder chance to get into the
game. This money must all come from
outside, and the most Of it comes from
those who think the shortest road tc
5afluence is by throwing their money

less politics and more business in the

So far as foreign ministers are con-

America will cling for some time to

Horace Greeley Griffin of Texas, con-
spicuous graduate of Tuskegee, was one
of several young men selected by Booker
Washington at Emperor Williams re-
quest to go to west Africa. and teach the
wild negroes how to grow cotton for the
German settlers at Togo. He found that
the natives would not work in the fields.
Money did not tempt them, and when
whipped they ran away. They wish for
nothing save to supply their daily needs,
which are few enough. They wear no
clothing to speak of and food can be had
with little trouble. The emperor desires
to civilize these people, give them each
a hard, bone breaking job and teach them
to buy German merchandise. There are
some advantages in the present west

s About Lawson.

Who is Lawson and what is Lawson
ism9 Is he fake, farce, or has there
come upon earth one destined to solve
the everlasting problem of the distribu-
ton of wealth? Lawson is a Boston
broker, who has had every kind of ex-
perience with flying kites in the street,
from carrying home a days wage to
soaring on a million or dragging him
self YEARLY away from the ticker mill.
ions poorer. Money has been his play
thing.
He has begun an exposure of the
methods Of doing business in the world,
and there is a double howl going up,
one urging him on, the other warning
those who have against the machina-
lions of financial anarchist. Lawson
does not respond to the cry from either
side. He will not be urged on to merely
delight the hobo and the socialist; nor
will he be called off by the plea that
he is endangering the peace Of the
world. $4,000 ( $50
His motives are fercely questioned
by those who cannot deny his asser-
lions. But he remains in the field. he
says, not to establish his motives, but
to gain his point. What is his pointa
It is simply that while wealth is made
by nine men out Of ten, after it is Gre
ated it is rapidly absorbed by one out
of every ten. The tendency toward the
Capitalization Of wealth is as undeni-
able, as the Capitalization OF. people.
MIR. Lawson's point is that the men
who get hold of The wealth get it not
| by working for it, but by species of
chicanery. They control credit and by
control Of credit they control the coun-
| try. e
His plan as explained by himself is
first to educate the people to the point
of refusing to put their earnings in
stocks and bonds that have been wa.
tered. He believes that when this is
universally practiced those stocks and
bonds will shrink to their actual value
and in the shrinkage only those who
have overdone the watering will be
hurt. The poor will benefit by the
shrinkage in lowered cost Of living
Mr.. sLawson's animus seems to be
against the misuse of credit. But credit
represented by credit money has made
the world 20. If it has been misusee
of course an evil has been done, but the
misuse of it does not demonstrate thai
y it shall not be used at all. His is thu
old argument against interest in a new
guise. But interest has always and al
!, ways will be collected and the worlt
has not and will not be destroyed by it
Mr.. Lawson makes too much of hi
proposition. It is not revolution h
aims at, but reform. So far as his re
form plans antagonize the misuse O.
credit they are right and should b

Witte a Peace Commissio ner..

a The substitution of NJ. Witte for
Count Muravieff as chief peace envoy
for Russia is the exchange of an I'M
known negotiator whose personality
carried no weight for known, hon
ored and trusted Russian whose per-
sonality carries the greatest weight.
Rosen and Witte are guarantees that
Russia means business in preparing to
meet the Japanese, while Muravief as
chief negotiator might have meant sim
ply delay and no result.
The selection Of Witte and Rosen is
a remarkable confession on the part Of
the car that his war party has utterly
broken down after we'll nigh running
the country. Baron Rosen and Sergius
White both opposed the war, Rosen be-
cause he saw the unpreparedness Of his
country and distrusted the leadership
I5of Alexieff in the event of hostilities;
White because war negatived all his
plans for the internal development of
Russia. AS minister of finance he had
brought Russia s credit to high point,
but he had done it by strenuous de-
velopment of industries which required
time and peace. for their working out.
He built railways, but he could not i'm
mediately make them pay. He had to
people Siberia with farmers before the
railways could bring in revenue. War
meant not only the cessation of his
plans, but the burning up Of the coun-
try's capital in powder.
Witte and Rosen are restored to
places of grave responsibility by the
weak czar's dire necessities. But they
may both fall again, for if they cannot
bring about a peace which satisfies the
pride Of Russia they will run d trying
gauntlet of criticism at home. But as
patriotic Russians they have accepted
the trust and will do their best.
