New York, June 9.-(Special)-H. ]. Porter of the Porter Clothing company, Birmingham and Jacksonville, who was with us last week at the Prince George hotel IA East Twenty-eighth street, has the right idea. He doesn't believe suc- cess is acquired through selfish or heart less methods. He doesn't believe in grab ping off the shekels, no matter how much it hurts some other fellow-no sir, H. J. Porter is man of unselfish gene rosity, who believes in helping the un- der dog.
 Probably you will not require proof of the foregoing statement, knowing MT. Porter, as many people who wear clothes do, down in Birmingham. However, on his trips up here MT. Porter indulges in kindnesses to others which would never be known Nin the Magic City if it had to wait for MT. Porter to tell about them. Here's one:
 While in New York city MT. Porter was with an acquaintance whom he knew formerly in Birmingham. And, inciden- tally, Dpy information comes from thf acduaintance-not from Mr. Porter, though have seen him here. This ac- qIaintance vas more or less up against it. He frankly told MT. Porter so, and the Birmingham clothier immediately got busy in a real New York sense. He hus- tied that acquaintance around to a num- Der of prominent people in a business way here; he had them write letters of introduction for him, and took a personal interest in the young man. expressing the sincere hope that some of the letters would get him what he wanted

Great Britain. This is the reason why Great Britain can contemplate a national debt of sl40oO, ,000, 900, reduced to American money should the war be ended in 19l6 without serious concern. The only DOT tion of the enormous bulk of securities held by individuals, banks and corpora tions in London which have been utl- 1zed are the American securities The best opinion appears to be that the greater part of the American securities VII have passed into American hands by the time the war is ended. Payment by means of American securities will chiefly represent attempts to liquidate or pay for American exports for Great Britain.
 ANOTHER KIND OF LISTENING
 Not the least interesting feature of presidential politics, both at the repub- iican convention and for some weeks be- fore-the presumption being that a like feature will be conspicuous at the dem- ocratic convention-is the marked change in the attitude of the political leaders on both sides toward business, and espe- cially big business.
 Thirty years ago all of the political leaders listened keenly so that they might discover what was in the minds of the American farmers. The reason is easy to explain The American farmers were furnishing some 70 per cent of our entire exports It was in the late sos that bankers began to receive appeals for financing assistance from those who were contemplating consultations and expansions of corporate interests The bankers, however, were very reluctant at first to take up propositions of this kind.
 They were occupied with railroad and with municipal or state securities. Now the record which shows that manufac- tured commodities surpass in money value and quantity in foreign trade ag-
 icultural commodities and a general heed to the opinions of those who man. change in the attitude of the public to- ward American business is causing the political leaders to give quite as much heed to the opinions of those who man. ufacture and market commodities as they do to the views of those who raise and market our crops. This is feature of the great politics of this year which is commonly discussed in the financial district as it is in business circles.

points. He told the committee Chat
his proposed legislation Is based on
the recommendation OF Secretary OF
Labor William B. Wilson. in his an
nCal report in which he recommend
ed that a new homestead policy
should be adopted by Uncle Sam.
Secretary Wilson there pointed
out that title TO some OF the public
domain still remains In the govern

supreme court congress could re-
cover much OF the land formerly
granted away TO land..;rant railroads
(such as the Oregon California land
grant, and that there are extensive
areas OF privately owned but unused
farming land in most OF the states.

eral government for promoting labor

The secretary of labor pointed out
that the original homnstead laws re-
lieved the industrial cCngestions of
their day by opening the west TO
pioneers. But" he seid, "the day
OF the individual pioneer is over.
From the Atlantic he has moved
westward until the Pacific throws
him back again into crowded spaces.
