He Was Broke a Year Ago.

"A year ago l was all in--I had lost a million. Then I started studying. I watched the crops, the bond sales, the stock sales. I got a theory that if bonds couldn't be sold, though stocks paid dividends, there was something wrong.
 q realized that these men without any principle were doing everything they could to ruin the country. We aren't ruined. What we want is to get rid of these people-these Harrimans and Rogeres and others of their stamp They owned the banks and they knew just the condition of the country by watching the loan accounts. They knew when people wanted money by watching their banks.
 "This country is all right. It is per- fectly right for the people to invest. But we want the man who buys stocks and bonds outright and puts them in his box. They are not doing that now. Mdn buy to sell again, but nobody is hanging on. That is why I figured out this panic. And things are going lower, let me tell you.

contraction has occurred may be traced
directly to the lack of confidence in the
speculative and to some extent in the
investment value of securities and In the
prospective prosperity of certain large
corporations.
The immediate trouble in New York is
due specifically and unden,ably to, the
improper management of a few financial
institutions by a group of spectators
who have wrongfully.' possibly Illegally
used their positions for the advancement
of their individual schemes The best
possible sign Of the times is the energy
and courage with which the higher bank
ing authorities of New York have at
tackled this situation and are proceeding
to shake out these officials, forcing re-
adjustments and reorganizations on
scale which should go far toward restor-
ing confidence. In the process one of
the largest trust companies of the city
has suspended payments and may be
forced into final liquidation It's collapse

undoubtedly justified.
That good will come of these difficulties
Is the general belief of all who know the
situation in the money centers Other
failures may follow. But there Is no
reason at this time to apprehend the

Meaning of Potomac"

There seems to be no end to the number
and variety of the translations made OF
those Indian names affixed to American
Ingenious renderings from the Indian into
English are given of local and nearby
place names. The translations are always
pleasing, even if not always convincing.
1t is difficult to understand from what
base the students and translators start in
the matter of the nearby names fixed by
the Potomac valley tribes. Their Ian
dark men who dwelt in these parts left no
written memorials. no tablets. no inscribed
tombs. no tile books, no manuscript
bricks. no Rosetta stone.
1t would seem that much of the Informal
