Save or. Quit

THE scheme Of human life is TO make
1 money; the problem is to save il. The
solution Of the problem is foresight and con
tinued application. Somebody has said that
this differcntiates the civilized man from the
savage. so far rs it relates tn getting on in
the world. 1t is low type Of Caucasian
who is content to let tomorrow take c.re
of itself.
Edward y. Woods, president of the Ma
tional Association of Life Underwriters, 10
whose valuable paper on the countrys proCii-
Caity The Times Dispatch was indebted for
the information which was the basis Of
recent editorial. continues his thesis with
some practical suggestions on the scheme and
problem above mentioned.
He quotes competent judges on both proDo-
sitions-R Rockefeller, James J. Hill and
Booker Washington. The first says: ANY
fool can make money; il takes wise man to
keep it," Mr.. Hill says: III you want to
know whether YOU destined to he n sue
cess. you can easily find out. The test is
simple and infalliblc. Are YOU capable TO
save money? If not. drop out You will
lose. You may think not. but you will lose
as sure as fate for the seed OF success is not
in YOU.
Blunt? Yes. II is from man who got
all he has by hard knocks. and such men do
not use the language Of the court That's
why they never become diplomats
Successful business mon estimate the
worth OF all men by what they save, not BY
what they spend. Mr.. Woods covers the
ground when he says that thinking ahead *
the open sesame man should at least be
as providcnt and thoughtful as the ant that
lays by for the winter. the squirrel that saves
Il part of the nut. or the dog that buries his
bone. or the bee that lays By honey for The
time when there will be no bloom
This look ahead is part OF the scheme
of thrift, which is sclf-dcnial, seif-sac-ificc
and character building: it creates prudence:
prudence prompts frugaliiy; both produce
self-control and confidence.
There is Il difference between thrift and
Darsimony a man can be thrifty and still
have pleasure. He must have some diversion
TO b@ useful Ii he has no time for diver
sion, he is mentally, if not physically un-
healthy. y very commOn-senSc definition OF
thrift is that OF Mr.. Woods. TT means" he
says, the getting of n dollars worth OF
pleasure from the expenditure OF a dollar
and not the wasteful attitude OF spending
money that tomorrow we would be glad to
nave returned to us: trait. by the way
characteristic of Americans"
y center shot, well done and deserved.

Menace

THERE is menace in the recently discovered
1 plot to destroy munition plants in this
country and munition bearing vessels ut this
countrys ports, nor is the menace confined to
these plants and these vessels. The national
peace is threatened, because the chief
spirator has confessed. according to press dis
patches, that it at the instigation of the
German secret service and with funds that
ii supplied that he came TO the United States
and entered on his ncfarious task.
OF course. it may he that the man is lying
that the story he tells represents an effort on
his part to escape the punishment that he has
incurred-but there are strong probabilities
that what he says is true He is Il lieutenant
in the German army and carries IL German
passport. and he has used money literally.
Evidently some one or some institution has
been financing the enterprise.
If II should be mace TO appear that an
official agency OF the German government is
directing such destruction as Fay and his
associates contemplated. the situation would
become serious Something more definite and
satisfactory than an apology would he necos-
sary 10 preserve friendly relations.
