WHY IS A MONEY TRUST?

Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the
Money Trust" investigators, has been
proceeding on the assumption that the
country's surplus funds are gathered
in New York ais the result of a kind
of conspiracy on the part of Wall
Street bankers. No defense of the
so-called Money Trust is necessary.
Wal1 street has made vicious use OF
the power lent by the accumulation
of the country1s surplus funds. The
money of commerce should be kept
out OF speculators' hands. But the
rate for call money Is not raised, as
Mr. Untermyer would have the coun-
try believa to attract money to New
York for the use Of stock gamblers;
IL Is raised to check speculation, and
1t does the work eftectually.
The reason money Accommodates in

HOW TO LOSE A

A certain hardware store In my &C
quaintance Is to all appearances a
model Of its kind. The stock is we'll
selected and upto-date; everything is
in the best of order. The floors are
clean and the show cases bright. You
can walk through the aisles without
coqliding with s~harp-edged tools or
bundles of barbed wire. The owner is
pleasant and accommodating, and SO
are his clerks, yet the store has lost
one regular customer and this is how
it happened. A customer was enter
ing the place when a man crowded
past in the doorway, carrying in his
arms what appeared to be a wooden
soap box filled with large yellow cam
dies. No second glance was needed
to realize that it was what is called
powder by the initiated, and known
to the rest OF us as dynamite. How
ever, the worst was to happen. The
customer was about to give his order
when he noticed the clerk throwing
some Of the same yellow candles into
d box. Isn't that dynamite?" he in
quired. Yes" cheerfully answered
the clerk. Don't you think you Ire
a bit reckless having it around like
this?" "Oh, no." was the ready as
surance this can't explode" and lest
his statement might be doubted he
gave the counter a couple of vicious
whacks with the stick he had in his
hand. The clerk seized another stick
and was about to make a drum of the
counter when my friend assured him
no further demonstration was neces-
sary. 1t really seemed unwise to
question the word of a man who want
ed to drive nails with dynamite.
AS the customer beat a hasty re-
treat the clerk called out to learn what
he wanted, and the answer was, 81
want to get out of here" which he
did and never came back. Now, as a
matter OF fact, what the clerk did
was supposed to be a perfectly safe
thing to do but the customer could
not forget visions of tons of solid rock
hurled high into the air while the
earth trembled far around. The shock
he received was NOT the same kind,
but it kept him out of that store ever
after. Other dealers and firms have
similar smart young men, who as
thoughtlessly, in other ways, are &C.
complishing the same result for their
employers, quite as effectively as
though they pounded nails with dyna-
mite sticks.-H. H. Windsor in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.
