EASY PROFITS DEMORALIZING

Easy and quick profits are always
demoralizing. There are many man
ufacturing concerns today, says VIM.
S. Keis, vice president of the Nation
al City Bank of New York, sacrificing
permanent and substantial markets
for the present quick gains. The
public, excited by tales of huge pro-
fits, is specializing as never before. A
period of imitation is threatened, and
it might be well to count the cost in
advance. If wages keep on increas-
ing, if speculation becomes rife, if
extravaganza, induced by easy money,
permeates our national life, we shall,
after the war is over, face a great
commercial and industrial crisis.

SCOTCH CAPABLE OF BULLS
Some Good Stories That Have Been
Fastened on Inhabitants Of the
"land O. Cakes"

Even In our day, residents of the
British isles are rarely well informed
upon the geography Of "the states"
Perhaps, too, since we live in a coun.
try that boasts long list of Troys,
Romes, Athenses, not to mention Gin.
cinnau and an occasional Cato or
Plato, we should not be surprised
when anyone assumes that anything
else In Greek or Latin Is properly In.
digenous to our map.
A Glasgow merchant and magistrate
OF century ago, so Mr.. D. Macleod
Malloch records. had sent to certain
mercantile house in New York a con.
Segment Of goods that remained long
undisposed Of. In response to his In.
quiries. he was informed that they
we're still in statu quo. He passed on
the information to a neighbor. who re-
marked suspiciously, "But never
heard Of the place."
Nor /, either" replied the good
bailie. conidentially. II looked at the
map. but I couldna find It; and Just
conclude it's sma' town up in the
hntra."
The simplicity and ignorance Of the
rural Scotch magistrate often quite
equaled that of the English, immortal
lied by Shakespeare in Dogberry; and
Mr. Malloch gives two more veritable
examples. quite in the true Dogberry
vein.
THAT is most tragical event which
has just happened said friend to
Bailie Blank. "Your neighbor, Mr..
B., has committed suicide!"
"Wha on?" inquired the bailie. Gag.
erly
Perhaps 1t was he-it was certainly
another Glasgow bailie-who, his
health being proposed at banquet in
honor Of his recent dignity, responded
nobly to the toast:
Il Gamma but say, ma friends, that
I'm proud of the honor of being made
a bailie of this great city; and I'm
even, think, entitled to the honor, for
I've gone through all the various
stages Of degradation that bailie has
tae dae tae reach it"-Youths Com

PROVERBS THAT ARE VICIOUS
There 10 Usually Trouble for Some
body When One of These Is
Quoted.

There are some proverbs that are
used only to bolster unworthy thoughts
or words or actions. Here is one of
them: Charity begins at home. OF
course it does, but no one says that
to himself, or says 1t out loud, who
does not wish to excuse some mean
and parsimonious action, the Chris
tian Endeavor World states. Every
really generous man will of course be-
gin his charities at home; but he will
never think of mentioning the fact as
reason for not giving and doing all
that he can for people and causes out.
side his home.
Business is business. To be sure 1t
Is, but no one deems it necessary to
state that fact unless he Is doing or
intends to do some hard, cold and un-
feeling thing. When a cruel landlord
intends to turn a widow and her fam
lily into the street, he is very likely
to remark as he proceeds to do It,
Business is business" If promoter
seeks to work of some worthless
stocks on an unsuspecting victim, he
is likely to remark that business is
business" and that every one must
look out for himself" If a money
shark forecloses on a poor man who
cannot pay an exorbitant interest, he
is sure to tell you with much solem-
nifty that. though it is hard, yet "busi.
ness Is business.
We must play the game. This
though sometimes used In good
sense, often means In business par.
lance that we must be as mean and
sharp and untrustworthy as other bad
men. They are playing the game;
and, If we would not lose, we must
play it, too They have no conscience
in financial transactions; so we must
smother ours They bow down to the
money god; SO must we, or we shall
get left in the dollar race.

Typographical Errors

Every week this paper, and every

number of errors-typographical and
otherwise. That's one of the reasons
a good many people think the editor
should have been blacksmith. But
!. what of the editors viewpoint? II
there's one thing better calculated
to turn rosy youth to doddering ola
age than, for instance, to get death
notices and weather predictions mix

srinning idiot, with head like a
pancake and brain like an added
egg, holding up the sheet to caustlc
criticism and the editor to scorn'
Maybe you think it nice to hear some
member of the Vacuum family re-
mark that the editor must make up
his PAPER with a shovel! Or some
Pinhead Percy wonder why the edl-
tor doesn't learn how to set type!
No doubt you think it excruclatlnsiy

that Miss Merry Merryvale is to be

Funny, isn't it? Yes, it is! 1t de-
pends on the point Of view. we are
all apt to make mistakes. Don't for

the editor put some of your mistakes
into the paper? Remember when
Mr.. A, who shaves himself, came to
church with a fine patch Of whiskers
on his chin he had overlooked? AND
when Miss B let the shoestring on
her switch hang down her back? And
how Elder C caught the tail of his
long coat over the neck of the bot
tie in his hind pocket and went down
the street that way.
But We have no intention of tell
ing these things. AS an editor we
wouldn't be much of hair-pin if We
we're bent that way. Just remember.
though, that We are all prone to er-
rors, and the next time you see some
thing in the paper which you regard
as a sure sign of the editors feeble
mindedness, just say the devil did 1t,
