WANTED HIM WHIPPED.

A young lady, her cheeks flushed
with indignation and her eyes flash
ing fire, burst in upon her parents
and demanded that papa go immedi-
ately and whip a certain young man
in the town. She said, "Why papa
he flirted with me; he asked me
. which way, little one?' and offered
to follow me- | want him whipped
The much incensed young lady just
naturally got dads hat and told him
where the old siX-sh00ter was. But
papa didn't take the hint. He said,
slaughter, no one in this world is
more interested in you than your Old
your Defense But listen-this very
interest has led me to study you and
this is what have learned.
''YOu go down the street very
scantily dressed. You apparently
deliberately expose as much Of your
person as is necessary to appeal to
the carnal instinct Of man. Your
lovely neck, a large portion of your
we'll developed breast, your arms. and
by means Of a short skirt and trans
parent hose, a g0odly share Of your
. lower limbs are exposed to view.
That part Of your body that is at all
partly covered in cloth in such a way
that every curve and angle is out in
bold relief Then when you pass q
man or group of men, you giggle,
toss your head and perhaps remark
to your friend that this is a slow
town L should worry 'b'lieye me-

lenges you, you want him shot.

DESERT COUNTRY ACTIVE.

Arriving in Prescott during the

attracting very much attention by ne
cOppers under development indicat-
ing big properties as assured. They
inspected the CObrita and were very
much pleased with the conditions to
the depth reached. THE Glory hole is
again coming into prominence and
the gold and copper situations lindi-

SMALL INVESTORS.

principles that underile the employ
ment of capital often wonder why
shares in a corporation are offered
them.
Particularly do they wonder why
all such shares are not taken by
large capitalists instead of being Of
fered to the so-called small investors.
By nalyzing the following facts,
the answer will be made quite APP
parent:
In round numbers our wealth is
now about $3.50, 900 ,O0O, 900
Our money amounts Ito about So
500 900, 900
Our population is about 100000,
600.
We have, therefore, about $1,000
OF wealth to each person.
We have about $50 in money no
each person.
Has the answer been suggested? !
1t must be clear that We have but
very little money in comparison with
our wealth.
Also that We create wealth faster
than We create money.
And that money is more liquid
circutates more freely-7than other
wealth.
The tendency of the possession of
money is ephemeral; of other prop
erty, continual.
Most persons have approximately
their share OF money but very few
have their share of other property.
Therefore some persons have more
than their share of other property,
but not a proportionate share Of
money.
The large capitalists are the ones
who have more than their share OF
other property, but not a proper
tionate share of money.
The millionaire does not carry a
million dollars around with him;
lay his hands on it.
He has it invested in property, i'll
companies, where it is working and
earning more money for him, which
in turn he puts at work in a similar
way to earn still more money.
Did he not do SO, a very small
handful of men would have all the
money and the rest OF us only the
fragments of property.
The big capital is not, therefore,
always in position to invest heav-
lily in an enterprise, no matter how
good it may be.
Were the capitalists able to invest
in new industries, las popular opinion
has it, there would be few share
holders in companies, and these few
would be the capitalists.
The capitalists are shareholders in
practically all companies but they
are seldom heavy shareholders. They
have their inves tments scattered in
many companies.
When a new company is formed to
conduct an enterprise it needs money
whatever else it needs to conduct its
business, it must have money.
A part of it's shares may be given
in exchange for property to be used
in exchange for property to be used
in its business, but it must have
money, and to get this offers its
shares to the public.
We have often seen that the bulk
Of our money is in the hands of
small holders.
TO get money, therefore, it is log
ical that the company should offer
its shares to the small holders of
money. to small investors; and when
it comes to furnishing actual money.
the capitalists are of this class also,
They are long On other property, but
usually quite short on ready money.

 Officials of the Treasury have been surprised by the steady inflow of gifts from all parts of the empire and from former Britishers in neutral countries in the form of cash towards meeting the expenses of the war. The donors range from men and women to small boys and girls, the former sending sums mounting up as high as >thous- and pounds and the latter remitting the contents of their savings banks. A total of many thousands of pounds has been sent. Some ranging from a shilling to thousand pounds are acknowledged with the same prompt ness and ppliteness by the Treas ury.
 Many gifts are accompanied with notes explaining that they are design ed as substitutes for personal service at the front, and one man in Canada explains that a sum of f200 is intend ed as payment for schooling obtained in England half-century ago.

TREACHERY FOR PROCRE ESSIVE TO
 OPPOSE WILSON
So Says L. H. Treischmann of Hartford, Prominent
 Bull Moose.

One of the prominent Progressives of Connecticut who makes no secret of his convictions this year is L. H. Trieschmann of Hartford, Chairman of the Progressive town committee of Hartford, state central committeeman and member of the Indianapolis Pro- gressive conference of 15.
 I'm for Woodrow Wilson, first. last and all the time and don't care who knows it."
 That's the way MT. Trieschmann puts his position, and mo pussyfoot- ing' is his motto.
 "For the life of me I cannot see how any Progressive can do otherwise than vote for Woodrow Wilson on the strength of his record as president 9 said MT. Trieschmann, in a statement made by him at Democratic State Headquarters in New Haven yester- day.
 SThe Progressive party was born four years ago of what we considered as urgent need for 1t. We wanted to see this government take the progress sive attitude which had been so sadly lacking for several years. We knew lIldt we COulu HOI U uSI IIIC INSpuDu- can party; we did not know enough about MT. Wilson, so we formed par ty of our own.
 MT. Wilson and his administration have enacted more progressive legisla- tion than any 10 previous administra- tions.

ARGENTINE TO
 FURTHER RESTRICT
 ALL IMMIGRATION
Decree Aimed at Soldiers Who May Be Maimed in
 European War.

Buenos Aires. Argentina, Oct. 1s- A decree promulgated last spring fur ther restricting immigration to the Argentine Republic will take effect October 26.
 During the past two years the de- parture of settlers and others for Eu- rope has been so marked that some statesmen have been alarmed over the fact that a country with such a large area and a relative sparse population could not hold its inhabitants. The government, however, has not been impressed, and by dscree which be- comes effective next month, many stringent conditions will hereafter sur round permission of immigrants to land in the Argentine.
 Any persons found suffering from organic disease, making the Asubject unfit for work, will be barred, as will all cripples, the latter provision sup posedly being aimed at a possible in- vasion by wounded soldiers after the European war. Another clause of the new restriction bars all those who have been beggars in the country of origin and all other persons who may be considered likely to become a pub lie charge.
 The entire responsibility of bring ing undesirables to the country Is placed upon the captain or owners of the vessel which brings them, and in case immigrants are rejected the ves- sel must return them to the port of embarkation. In shipping circles it is said that this risk of bringing possibly undesirable immigrants from Euro pean countries where registration is either defective or not practiced at all makes the entire business of immi- grafton undesirable in the viewpoint of the steamship companies. It is pro- vided in the regulations, however, that first class passengers are exempt from all the penalties prescribed in the de- cree, a fact which suggests that in future immigrants may trave. safely as salon passengers.
