Where Our Wealth Is.

1t is said that we are worth $3.50, 000,-
600 000-that is, all of Us combined.
This is lot of money-for when most
of US get much beyond $3.50 we are lost,
because it isn't often we see as much
money as this at any one time
But the wealth of the United States is
at present in the form of fixed invest
ments. such as railroads, factories and
farms, stores and houses.
And so when We talk about our coun-
try being so tremendously wealthy and
that we can fight this war because we
have so much money, it should be re-
membered that we can't hit German
on the head with a railroad nor crack
the skull Of an Austrian with house
gruesome business, true enough. but all
part of the war game.
It is going to take real money to put
this thing across-not the money already
invested in houses and lands, but the
money we are going TO save in the
future.
1t is a question as 10 how much you
are going to save next year in order 70
buy another Liberty Bond this year
If you haven't the money now, il
means that you will have TO mortgage
the future if this country il to- make
good, and maybe this means that you
will have to make a good deal of a sac
rifice 70 come out square at the end of
the year.
Possibly you viii have to economic

The big event is down for September
16.
Brother Wood publisher Of the Michi-
gan Railway Guide. will please take note
that 1t is scheduled for HOS New York
time"
That will make it HOS Detroit time,
or one hour faster than the time the
trains in Brother Woods guides go by.
in defiance Of the common council of the
city of Detroit.
1--we recall correctly, those who are
still keeping sun time ought to have
everything ready at 1886.
To tell the truth, We have been ex-
pecting this and the only thing in the
announcement that is new 10 US is the
detail Of the time.
When We discovered Detroit had po-
lice commissioner who was really in earn
est about enforcing the saloon laws, we
almost heard Gabriels note.
Then we heard our police department
had caught highwayman and that
struck Us as another sign.
If our prosecuting attorney would send
some speed fool TO jail for the killing of
one of our children in the streets, moth
ing could move Us from firm conviction
that the book has it right
What worries Us, really, is the fact
that We have just bought new supply
of milk and ice tickets, and if our fig
ures are correct, we will be money out,
unless this big event, like all other big
events, (the Cadillaqua parade, for in
stance), is late.
We would not have been able 10 get
thru another year with our present gar
den hose, however, so it is about even.
Moral: Somebody is always taking
the JOY out of life.

The DEVICES of Noble Houses
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

think, said the frowsy-haired old pro-
fessor. my favorite bookworm and the
delight of my idle hours, think we
could learn much from the devices of
noble houses.
What better epitome of all the ingre-
dents of real nobility, for instance, than
the motto of the Irish Viscount Boyne?
"Nec timeo nee sperno" q neither fear
nor despise) gives the attitude Of true
noble toward those above and those be-
low him. "Nec cupas nee metuas"
(Neither by bride nor entreaty) are SIM
liar.
OF course they leaned hard upon an
cestry, as "Patriis virtulibus" (By an
cestral virtues) of the Irish Baron Lett
rim, the Scotch Earl Elgin's terse "Fui-
mus" eve have been), and Lord Grant
ley's "Avi memorantur avorum" q count
the grandfathers Of grandfathers-I am
of long line), but, on the other hand,
the device of Earl Suffolk, mon quo,
set quomodo" (Not by whom, but how,
is practical enough for Nevada mining
camp; also Lord Nelson's "Palmam qui
meruit ferat" (Let him bear the palm
who won it)).
Courage, the elemental virtue, Is prom
inent as an ideal in many Of these old
houses, whose founders were mostly
hard fighters. Perseverance. CPerse-

motto of Viscount Torrington, "Tu ne

the same spirit.
AS these notices were doubtless
chosen by bookish priests and clerks we
find suitable emphasis upon morals "Vir-
tute ct lahore (By virtue and told is

igmatical ut prosim" That l may do

But Does Congress
Really Care Enough To
! Bother Itself About 1t!

Matters might be expedited at Wash
ington should congress, provided there IS
any patriotism and honesty of purpose
left in congress, mentally divide the peo-
pie into two elements, to-wit:
/. Those who want to make something
out Of the war.
2. Those who don't want to make
something out Of the war.
The atmosphere at Washington is al
WAYS loaded with selfishness and at this
time it Is naturally so dense with the
humidity of selfshness that It is remark
able that those charged with conduct OF
war matters get any view at all OF the
country at large Even in ordinary times
about 80 per cent of Washlngton's pop
ulation is there because it has got or
wants to get something out of the gov
ernment-the country.
Add another 10 per cent, at this time,
comprising those present to tell how 70
run congress and run the war, and you
get pretty close to the capitals atmos-
phere at date.
The president has to make IA new brig
adier-generals.
This means promotion for colonies,
majors, captains, sergeants, all the way
down the grades to camp cooks and
buglers.
Do you think that all these men and
their hundreds of friends with pull are
simply waiting for the lightning to strike
them pleasantly and saying nothing to
Washington?
The same is true, in large degree, of
the naval department. Promotions all
down the line to make officers for new
battleships, destroyers, submarines,
chasers, ETC., etc.
Washington talks In billions, millions
and mere fractions. According to Score
tary McAdoo, we must subscribe another
two billions or more by November LIST,
and the war will cost about ten billions
year.
The bulk of the billions will be spent in
this country. 1t is like kicking in the
head of barrel of strawberry jam be-
fore crowd of school boys.
More presidents, directors and man.
ayers of corporations are registered,
really as statesmen, in Washington today
than ever before met at any given point
in all history.
Z Add to all these who want the tens of
thousands who have got jobs or some
thing just as good, put in a generous
gprinkling of would-be inventors of de-
mocracy- saving devices and pro-kaiser-
ties, shake well, and you have the atmos-
phere in which the war management has
to try to do what is best for the whole
country.
The official who steers national cause
true, thru that fog, surely has good eye
sight.
How can he so steer unless his first
question always be, What does this fell
low want?
Can there be progress or safety save
in sharply drawing the line against those
who do want to make something out Of
the war?
But, at present, congress seems to be
trying to do things without hurting the
feelings of the very people who are most
certainly wanting to make all they can
out of the war.
