widely circulated during the war
period, in the hope that his followers
would profit thereby. "Mither wa ina

Here are some of his rules:
Behave toward your purse as you
would to your best friend"
View the reckless spending of
money as criminal and shun the
reckless spender."
Remember it only takes twenty
shillings to make pound, and twelve
pennies make shilling.
You can sleep better after a hard

Get good value from your trades

good money from you.

Daily Stock Letter.

Evening Post1

Evening Post.l
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-When the
stock exchange is hunting for trouble
in other words, searching for "argu-
n.ents" which will explain an exist
ing decline of prices and perhaps help
along its continuance-it is well rec
ognized tradition that the current
news will produce the requisite ma
terial. Today, the outstanding tnflu-
ences of that description appeared to
be the speech OF ex-Seoretary Root on
our governments foreign policy and
the proposal in the dominion parlia-
ment, Of plan for the drastic taxa
ton of excess profits" Of various
Canadian corporations.
So far as the speech had any actual
Influence in creating unfavorable
sentiment. it possibly arose from mis-
giving as to the consequences Of in
jecting the issue of relations with Ger
many to presidential campaign.
The fall in Canadian stocks (which
occupied a large part of the specula-
tive interese of the day, was naturally
result Of the finance minister's bud
get speech to the Canadian legisla-
ture yesterday; in which, among other
proposals, he recommended tax on
uGdIly dll COMPANIES uoihS puoiAoSS
in Canada, of one-fourth OF net profits
in excess Of seven per cent.
The response of the stock exchange
to this suggestion was sharp break
in Canadian railway and mining
shares.
The stock market as a whole moved
more or less irregularly, in line with
these influences of the day. Prices
both for Industrial and railway shares
declined in the early hours and re-
covered part of the loss before the
close, though the final trading was
unsettled.

IOWA TEACHERS TO

William Aldrich, superintendent of

a private statement to the republi-
can leaders or by public declara-
ton. That he would not choose the
private way of doing this Is fair to
infer from the fact that he Is a JUS
tice of the supreme court and that
he has more than most public men
sense Of punctilious propriety. He
can hardly let the preventing of his
nomination be a matter of private
negotiation between himself and
powerful republican leaders. OF
course what is here said is merely
in the way Of setting down of the
sum Of the discussion which comes
on wherever presidential politics is
discussed among important leaders.
Some who know Justice Hughes best
argue that if his sense of propriety
should dictate such a course he would
not hesitate to do the thing that the
republican leaders claim he cannot
do-namely wait until the nomina-
ton is made and then formally re-
fuse to accept 1t. Obviously it is all a
case of guessing at what is in JUS
tice Hughes mind; and, indeed, that
is what a large bulk Of the discus
sion of presidential possibilities at
this moment consist of. 1t is admit
ted that Justice Hughes is not man
who reveals his mind to many per-
sons. The question that politicians
ask among themselves most frequent
ly is whether there is anybody who
has talked with Justice Hughes or
who can form any fair inference
from anything he has ever heard JUS
tice Hughes say. Up to date it is
apparent that no person has been
found who has Justice Hughes con-
fidence in this respect Persons who
knew Justice Hughes we'll when he
was governor of New York and who
are in a position to make differences
from what they knew of him then
say that he is very unlikely to accept
the republican nomination They
base this upon two things: first. upon
his distaste for public Office of this
kind. They say that he never really
was happy when he was governor be-
cause he was distressed by the pull
ing and hauling Of politicians. Even
more important these persons who
think they are in a position to know
Justice Hughes mind say that his
feeling about the sanctity of the SUI
preme court is likely to be very seri-
Gus indeed and that i, would be his
pleasure to affirm the tradition that
justice of the supreme court must
keep himself inviolate from the
thought of political Office.

Bryan Has Them Worried.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Because
there is feeling among some demo
Gratis that William Jennings Bryan
will oppose President Wilson's nomi-
nation at the democratic national con-
vention in st. Louis in June, there
has developed a movement to beat
the commoner to it" by supporters Of
the president Indications of this de-
veloped today when President Wilson
conferred briefly with Senator Hard
wick, Of Georgia.
Hardwick is leaving Washington to
attend a meeting of the Georgia state
democratic committee next Saturday.
At that time it is understood, strong
resolutions will be adopted supporting
the presidents policy and a plan Of
selecting delegates for the national
convention at st. Louis will be formu-
lated. Hardwlck said today he scarce
ly believed when the time came that
Bryan would offer himself as an &C
tive candidate against Wilson. He
said there was little Bryan sentiment
in Georgia.
