IF You Want to Be Hap

Business Rather
Than the Arts.

Work is the great fender ag-

account we have always advised
young men to adopt business or

the creative arts which in old age
cannot provide a constantly alb
sorbing task. The records are
full of melancholy tales of the
declining years of artists and
writer's. Doctor Johnson, whose
heart was as stout as the cudgel
he carried for MacPherson's
shoulders, lived always under the

The corporation tax, giving the
government power to look over the
books of gigantic corporations, the
law giving the interstate commerce
commission power to prevent an in
crease in railroad rates and the en-
forcement OF the antitrust law, which
had lain idle for twenty years. were
featured by Senator Brown in his re
view OF President Taft's three years
administration.
He paid compliment to Col. Roose-
welt and said that he had no faith in
the theory that the former president
would be a candidate for another
term. Every man who doubts that
statement now impeaches his integ-
rity," said the senator, referring to
the often.reiterated declaration made
by Col. Roosevelt during his last ad-
ministration, that he would not ac-
cept another term. Il have honored
and trusted him too many years to
insult him now with the thought that
he says one thing and means anoth-
er."
The senator blamed the press OF
the country for trying to create senti-
ment against the president. And this
campaign against Taft, particularly in
the magazine, unquestionably has
been responsible for many Americans

pie at large, can not be impeached.

ROOSEVELT IN THE RACE.

The question as to whether or not
dental nomination If il were offered
to him. has been answered at last by
letter which, while it is not signed
by the colonel. comes from the Out
look Offices and was written at the
suggestion of the colonel himself, fol
lowing an interview between him and
Ex-Gov. Stokes of New Jersey. Roose.
welt will run, as this paper declared a
week ago he would, if the nomination
comes to him. He will not refuse.
The letter. written by Lawrence Alb.
bott, one of the editors Of the Outlook,
says that Col. Roosevelt would no
more decline the nomination If there
were popular demand that he make
the race, than he would decline to en-.
list in the service Of his country in
case of war.
Mr. Stokes held an interview with
Col. Roosevelt at the Outlook Offices
a week ago and suggested to him that
he either write or have written a let
ter setting forth his attitude as to the
nomination. This letter to Mr.. Stokes
from a fellow editor of the colonel's,
is the result. 1t may therefore be ac-
cepted as word direct from Roosevelt
himself.
The authoritative or semi-authorita-
tive announcement from the colonel
that he would accept, will be no sur
prise to students Of politics. 1t has
been apparent for some days that
Roosevelt had no intention of declin-
ing to make the race if the nomina-
tion should come to him.
The letter clears the atmosphere of
the uncertainty that had been noted
in the political arena. 1t squarely puts
Roosevelt out as a candidate against
President Taft for the Chicago nomi-
nation in June. 1t may be expected
that Senator LaFollette will either
drop out of the race voluntarily or be
dropped by circumstances, as result
of this Roosevelt letter.
This letter, too, will mark the be.
ginning of sharp fight between
Taft's friends and Roosevelt's sup
porters for delegates. 1t promises a
battle royal in the Chicago convention,
without any certain forecast as to the
outcome, possible at this time, but
with President Taft still the logical
candidate.

OLD TIME RADICALISM.

Many of our conservative people feel
nowadays that the foundations of the
world are being shaken, by such laws
as the inheritance tax and others af
fecting property rights. They regret
the passage Of good old days when our
statesmen all stood without hitching
There is interest, therefore, in the
article Convictions of a Grandfather u
in the February Scrbner, by Judge
Robert Grant, to learn that inherit
ance taxes were used as far back as
the times of Emperor Augustus A. D.
6, and that the Romans borrowed the
idea from the Egyptians, who prac'
ticed it still earlier.
This idea running so far back into
history is getting strong foothold on
our systems Of taxation. Many honest
property holders feel that no other
system of taxation works with such
absolute justice. The tax on the liv'
ing mans stocks and bonds will al.
ways be lodged. The honest man
would rather pay heavy impost on
such property when he inherits it
than pay fair tax by driblets while
his neighbors are lying out Of their
burdens.

THE GuLLIRLE PUBLIC.

Safe breaking and second story
burglary are getting to be an obso.
lete method of crime. They bear the
same relation to twentieth century
swindling that old fashioned hand
work does to modern labor saving ma
chinery.
The report just presented by r. S.
Sharp, chief postofiice inspector, says
that the gullible American public gave
up $77,O00,00O last year to get rich
quick men.
The ease with which these gentle.
men work the great American sucker
is simply astounding. A Canaan of
financial milk and honey lies before
the man who possesses nerve, imagin-
alton, and a IS bill.
One favorite method OF making a
million on IS is to organize a com.
pany to promote summer resort or
suburban colony near some large city.
You get an option on some abandoned
farm. No cash need be paid, the lib
eral allotment in the stock of the
dream company is enough. You get
some impecunious craftsman to draw
plans OF hotel and cottages. A few
shares of stock requites him.
The first expenditure OF cash other
than a few postage stamps, comes
when you walk up to a newpaper Of
flee and insert an advertisement in
Business Opportunities" This may
cost you the sum Of 81. You adver-
tise for some gentleman with 100000
to join you in a conservative enter
prise paying five hundred per cent
From the many replies you will get
enough cash to take a suite of rooms
in the best hotel in the city, establish
fat bank deposit, acquire financial
testimonials, and incorporate your
company. Fifty per cent OF the sale
OF shares goes to advertising. and
fifty per cent you can salt away in
some bank in Buenos Ayres or Mel
bourne.
The postofflce even more than the
newspapers is the means by which
this modern safe breaking is per
formed. Mailing lists, technically
known as Sucker lists" consisting OF
names of people who have money but
no financial judgment, have been
valued at 100000 by these people.

BUYING SUBSTANTIAL GOODS

BUYING SUBSTANTIAL GOODS.
One OF the principal differences be-
tween retail business in such a town
as Norfolk, and the business of the
great metropolitan department store,
is the substantial character of the
stock which the home merchant
keeps.
The merchant who depends on the
patronage Of his townspeople must
keep his customers satisfied or lose
his trade. He rarely puts an article
in his stock unless it will stand the
strain Of wear.
The great metropolitan store, on
the contrary, uses an enormous
amount of second grade goods. They
have to offer an appearance Of unus-
ual bargain in order to get people to
buy by mail order, or under the in.
conveniences Of a great department
store. The margin is not greater than
their tremendous expense for rentals,
catalogues, and high salaries. Conse.
quently they give orders for select.
ed class of second grade goods, which
can be finished to please the eye. but
have serious defects!
The tendency to consider price at
the expense Of quality has built up
the great mail order houses. but the
vogue that it has given to shoddy
goods is one OF the causes Of high
cost Of living. Better buy near home,
where the merchant will tell you just
what an article is.
