THE TWO TYPES

There are lust two great divisions of American
fnanciers into one of which nearly every owner OF mill
or mine as well as the rulers Of railroads and all giant
corporations must fall for classification when the uVld
ing line is drawn Confusion of the two types Is easy
The basic motives of both are selfish Their methods
often are identical But their aims are radically differ
ent and there is no nsship in them nor in the results
they achieve
One man is the gambler The properties he controls
are the counters he plays with in the big hnancla game
The stakes he risks them for wealth. power and per-
sona aggrandizement-al for himself alone. Often ne
will safeguard and strengthen property and manage 1t
with superb ability That is when it is to his interest to
make that particular property blue check instead OF
white in the pile before him the gaming table But
lust as carefully and quickly when it serves his
purpose he will wreck that property to gain later trick
in the game.
The second type of man may be not whit more hon
est not in the slightest degree more Scrupuous IN his
commercial methods: every bit as willing to brbe egs-
atures give take rebates and stoop to uderhanded
fighting of competitors But he persones his property
His corporation becomes to him Sentient being and he
loves it. He is greedy for personal greatness but he is
bound twin-lke to the property. 1t must grow as he
grows If it dies he falls with it and there is end to
his ambition.
The man who makes fetish of property and wor-
ships it. may be a gambler incidentally and at intervals
work evil But he is the constructor of his countryS
commercial greatness He builds branch roads that turn
towns into cities opens territory and strengthens
the business Of every community that may add to his
lines revenues guards the rights of his stockholders and
trains his subordinateS into the same intense loyalty.

PREPARATIONS FOR PEACE

The war in Europe the continued disturbances in
Mexico the possibility that we, in spite Of our strong
preference for peace, and our good will for all other
nations may yet be involved in strife lend strong force
to the arguments in favor of preparing for war.
But some Of the agitators are overriding the argument
by grossly eXaggerang the weakness of our defenses
AT the recent meeting Of the National Security League
the plight Of Belgium was held up by speakers and
warning sounded that the United States despite her
size and wealth. would be equally helpless in the face of
an invasion
Belgium was invaded by Germany, her next-door
Deighb0r. If Canada on our northern border had ten
times the population Of the United States and if 80 per
cent Of the men Of Canada trained for military
service if Canada had thousands of the most modern
guns and all the engines Of destruction that men have in
vented in the last 40 years then the United States might
be in the same plight as Belgium provided Canada
wanted to invade this country
Among the advocates of preparedness there are over
jealous persons as there are among the pacfsts But
The trend of the argument for conservative preparation
for defense is in the right direction.
Alton B. Parker was not eXaggerating the peril when
he declared that the richest nation earth is face to
face with the question whether it can protect its rights
A strong navy Of the right type should always be
maintained by this country.
