We all know that a dollar in the
hands of money king is of no more
value than a dollar in the hands of a
small investor The difference in
power comes in the opportunity to
use that dollar But remember this:
that every money king, every one of
the big feluows of Wall Street, were
small investors at one time. They
had to start somewhere, sometime
and when you dig into their lives a
little you find that they started by
making small investment in some
growing, promising enterprise. Look

to believe that so far as the start is
concerned all workers and savers are

Howard was charged with being a vag,
but that doesn't make it so and the
officers who thought so are accused

"pinched'' him on the charge several
