John Lind made vigorous protests
to the port authorities and the for

Part of the Prosperity II Is En-
titled to Because of Its Vast Re-
sources.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, in an address at
the semi-annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel institute, declared
that the stability of business has been
interfered with and the confidence of
capital shaken by unreasonable and
uncalled for agitation and attack"
In spite of the country's wealth and
resources foreign capitalists wonder
why we are not more continuously
prosperous, he said.
There are exceptional cases" de
clared Judge Gary, 'in which mis-
management has caused distrust or
dissatisfaction on the part of foreign
and domestic capitalists; but this is
not the principal reason for hesitancy
at the present time on the part of
these capitalists in making invest
ments In our securities.
They wonder why II Is that with
our great and growing wealth and re-.
sources and our superior advantages
We are not more continuously prosper
Gus; why We are not more stable In
prices and values and in general con-
ditions; why there is ever any dispo-
sition on the part OF any one to inter-
fere with the normal and natural prog
ress in the development of our coun-
try and its industries.
Asking Same Question.
Every one who travels extensively
abroad is confronted with these in
quiries by foreigners friendly to and in
terested in our commercial and finan-
cial conditions and success; and we
assembled in this room are asking
ourselves the same question.
Il venture the assertion that ii Is
largely because of much unnecessary
agitation and i'll considered criticism
by those who have not the nations
best interests at heart.
There is too much demagogism,
too much mud singing. The man out
of office criticises the one in office and
the one in office in turn seeks to ad-
vance his own interests regardless of
the effect upon all others.
I'm many public speeches and in
magazine articles the author is infiu.
enced by motives of selfishness or Gu.
pidity. Appeals are made for the pur.
pose of creating feeling Of dissatis-
faction and unrest when this is un
necessary and unjustified.
ut is not uncommon in public dis.
cussion to treat success as an offense;
to consider the possession of wealth

NEW VERSION OF HAPPENING
Rumor That Higher Critic" Has Tn
earthed a Revised Account Of
Solomon's Famous Deed.

History is becoming more unreliable
all the time. The other day a high
er critic" excavating in the Pelopon-
nesus. unearthed the following revised
account Of one Of King Solomon's IA
nous verdicts.
Ii seems that there was a child
which was claimed by two women,
and the case was brought before
Judge Solomon for decision. Accord
ing to the old version OF the story
Judge Solomon, after careful oonsid-
Grafton. proposed that the child be
cut in two and half given to each wom-
an, whereupon the real mother pro
tested.
It now appears that this is not
what he did at all He was still
shrewder Instead of cutting the child
in two on the spot, he ordered that il
be capitalized. Thereupon a company
was formed and the stock equally d.
vided between the two claimants. He
then put the child to work In a sweat
shop. Both women, satisfied went
away and lived in ease and adiuence
ever after on the proceeds.-Life
