THE PROMOTER.


The rake-off given the promoter OF
any enterprise is generally resented by
those that pay 1t. It is generally out OF
all proportion--to the value OF the SER
vices rendered--as the promoter fixes
his own reward in advance. This is
particularly true of financial promot-
ing-underwriting as 1t is sometimes
called. The enormous size OF these re-
wards has been brought out in recent
trust Investigations. They induce the
Brooklyn Eagle to thus comment on
one transaction:
A statement to the effect that the
firm of Morgan G. Co. had received
$137, 100000 for it's services to the Steel
trust having been made at Washington,
Judge Gary filed a correction. The
amount was, he said, $129,000,000. AS
the trust is more than mere billion
dollar affair, the pay of the promoter
Appropriated 10 per cent. And of
course it may have been that the labor
er was worthy of his hire.
1t Is a matter Of some difficulty for
the ordinary calculator to realize the
significance of figures such as these.
however accustomed he may have be-
come to the arithmetic of high finance.
But as to one of the results of paying
the price for promoting there need be
no mental confusion. Ten per cent
upon the profits distributed each year
are accounted for.
That percentage the consumer pays.
In final analysis. the Arm levies tribute
to the extent Of about 100000 annu-
ally for what 1t accomplished in a few
weeks or months. However, the old
masters are expensive. and a few Of
them still remain on the other side of
the Atlantic. Incidently, the statement
that there is no royal road to riches
will bear revision.

divers Inconsistent Consistency.

SSUotoSCUCys
The easons Senator Oliver of Penn.
sylvania gives for opposing the pulp
and paper provision of the Canadian
agreement are like the weapon EN-.
ployed by the butches in a fight, who
grabbed the first thing he could get
his hands on. which, in the case of the
butcher, was q sausage.
Mr.. Oliver points out that under the
provisions of the agreement only pulp
taken from private Canadian lands
and paper made from such pulp would
be admitted free because the agree
ment retains the duty on these arti-
cles when they are subjected to a
Canadian export duty, and the crown
lands of the provinces are subjected
to such a duty.
The senator, therefore, puts himself
In the attitude of Directing to free
pulp and paper because 1t would not
be SO free &C II should be when, as
a matter of fact, he does not want II
to be free at all. The probability
would be that with the proposed dis.
elimination against the Canadian ex-
port duty. that duty would be removed
from the crown lands under the oper-
alton of The pending agreement.
But that is Just what the pape-
trust does not want, and Senator on
yer knows it.-Kansas City Star.

Australia Rich in Libraries.

Victoria's (Australia) five hundredth
free library was opened lately. One
and all of the older libraries are well
patronized. The gross re-
ceived by them in the aggregate from
halls, m%embers's subscriptions, and
grants is about $4,000. There are
about a million books in these libra
ries, and it was claimed that some
thing like $780, 900 visits are paid to
them in the year. While works of tic
ton are read to the greatest extent,
general literature and history receive
a good deal of attention.

DRAGGING Their Hosiery,

Little Arlene was familiar with the
appearance of the garden hose at
home, but when she observed a line Of
fire hose, with its great length and
bulk lying serpent-like in the street,
she Immediately inquired what 1t was.
Her mother replied that was firemen's
hose, and the child went on watching
the fire.
In the meantime two additional fire
companies dashed up. and these newly
arrived fire fighters were carrying
their respective lines toward the burn

them.

Market Hous Much jiohter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years Is much lighter
than in former years; in the decade
1870-1879 the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was about
275 pounds; in the decade 1SS0-1SS9
about 257 pounds; in the decade 1890
1899 about 239 pounds, and In the
past decade 1s00-1909 about 2l9
pounds. In other words, hogs mar
keted between 80 and 40 years ago
averaged o%ne-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent years.
