WHO BUYS
GOVERNMENTS?

Copyright, 1914, By c. NJ Keys. New YORK.
When the United States wants $780,
ooo. 600 to pay its bills in Mexico or for
any other purpose, 1t figures on getting
its money by the sale Of bonds. Usually
when our government sells bonds. it sells
a lot of them, from 10000 900 to $780,
10000 being about the usual unit That
is lot Of money. and it may be in
teresting to observe where the money
comes from
Sometimes in the past when such is
sues have been made in an emergency.
or in a hurry, the government has got
ten all its money at once from a syn
dictate. usually headed by big banking
houses in New York. One such episode
created "a sort of scandal. which has
been kept alive ever since. the charge
being that the syndicate got the bonds
too cheap. At other times, however,
the syndicate has paid good. high prices
for the bonds, and has not had an
easy time getting rid Of them. This
was partly true in the last Panama CaA
nal issue. for instance. There are not
many people who made much, IL any.
money out of thoRe bonds at any time
since they were Issued.
In other cases, particularly in war
times, the government gets Its money
by what Ii called a popular subscription
This means that the United States gov
eminent sends out notices to all the
world that on q certain day and at q
certain hour II will sell such and such
an amount Of bonds. tells what the bonds
are for. when they will pay their in
terest, how much interest they will pay.
and when they will mature. It does not
do as bond dealers usually do and write
q glowing description Of the securities.
but takes their qualities for granted and
estimates that the public will know per-
fectly well that the bonds are per-
fectly good. that they are issued in good
faith. and that they are real obligation
Of the United States government. Then
the government expects to get large sub
scriptions to the issue. One may be
pretty sure, when a public subscription Is
started. that 1t Is going to be . sue
cess and that the bonds will be sub
scribed two to three times over by the
public, for the United States government
Is not supposed to make any such blum
der a. II would be to offer its bonds for
public subscription at q time when there
Is any chance Of the subscription fall
ing. for the failure of . government loan
would be q very severe blow. not only
to the credit Of the country. but to the
business Of the whole country, for Il

could mean hardly anything else ex
cept that the people had lost confidence
In their government to do what 1t in
tended to do.
When q public subscription of this
sort is opened by the government, al
sorts o. people rush in to buy II
does not matter what the price is Al
| the head of the list stand the big insti-
tutiors, anxious to display their conf
dence in the government. and to show
to their depositors. policyholders and
other-, whose money they handle. that
they are there to buy what are sup
posed to be the safest securities in the
world. Next after them in volume will
come the dealers. banking houses, trust
companies. and brokerage houses thai
have a great number Of customers who
want to have some Of the bonds. but who
do not want to go to the troub!f Of sub
scribing personally for them. Dealers,
of course, try to buy as cheaply as they
can, hoping for a profit in the transac-
ton. but they will be content with small
profits, because they do not anticipate
that the profits will be very long delayed.
Next come the large individual invest
ors of the country. some of whom sub
scribe. not because they want the bonds
particularly. but because they feel that
II is patriotic and a decent thing to do
TO subscribe for such bonds. Very often
they are glad that they only got small
fraction of what they subscribed for, for
in that way their sense of patriotism is
satisfied and they have not given up
much Of the income which they ENJOY Ior
IL ought to be stated that the income
from government bonds is not app 10 De
as much as 1t would be from many otner
forms Of safe investment.
Last comes the army Of little investors.
II ia in the numbers of this army that
one NAV read an index of the popular
feeling behind the purpose for which the
loan is made. In the Spanish-American
war loan the receipts were overwhelming.
In the first Panama Canal loan II was
good. One may conceive perhaps OF
loan for other purposes than these.

tions for filling vacancies in certain field positions; that is, positions outside oi Washington. D. c. The Fifth district with headquarters in Atlanta, comprises the states of South Carolina, Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Ten nessee.
 When asked whether he contemplated making any changes in the work of the office, MT. Hare said:
 As the method of administration has been so clearly defined by various acts of Congress and rules promulgated by ex- ecutive orders, there can be little or no change in the administrative features of the office. It shall be my purpose, how ever. to give greater publicity to all ex- aminations and endeaNor to interest a greater number of persons in the oppor- tunities frequently offered by the gov ernment. So often you hear it said that states in the Fifth district do not receive as large a proportion of the better class positions in the government service as other states or other sections. This is not surprising when we observe that such a small proportion of their population, when compared with other states, take the civil service examinations For instance, 1 find from the. records of the commission at Washjngton that one person out of every 1000 population in the Second civil service district took one of the man. ual (spring or falD examinations in 1913, the same was true of the Fourth district, while in the Fifth district there was only ,l,, tion.
 Tt has been asserted that many have refused to take the examinations In the past on account Of their political affili- ations, believing that because they be- longed to q different political faith than the party in Iower, they would be dis eliminated against and would, therefore, stand little or no chance of appointment Whether or not this impression was well f' unded I am not in a position to know, but since there has been a change of ad- ministration, I am sure there can be no grounds for such an apprehension.
 T might say just here that the in creased publicity which we hope to give to our examinations Is not simply to get greater number of applicants, but a greater number of persons competent to pass the examinations. It may not be arniss to say in this connection that over 50 per cent of the 4500 persons who took our field service examinations last year failed to obtain eligible ratings. Contrary to general belief, it has been very diff ficut to obtain sufficient eligibles to meet the demands of number of positions in the field service, especially stenographers typewriters, marine firemen and postoffice clerks in some of the small offices
 Tt will be understood, however, that our efforts will not be confined to ob- taning efficient eligibles for the field ser- vice, but we will endeavor to give greater publicity to all departmental examinations for vacancies in Washington, D. C., or elsewhere as they may arise from time to time.
 "The following is a list of departmental examinations to be held throughout the

One of the most delightful events of the late Lenten period was the bridge luncheon given yesterday by Mrs Charles J. Allison in compliment to her guest, Mrs. John Eckman, of Girard, Ohio. Dogwood and other woodland blooms made the surroundings exquisite and the large branches of dogwood and wild honeysuckle were supplemented by dozens of yellow jonquils and narcissi, so that the color motive was yellow and white, the various dainty complements of a hot luncheon empha sizing the yell low idea of the Easter occasion.
