who have the courage to make 1t
work. Those who have this knowl-
edge are the few who are gathering
all the wealth. The money loosers
are struggling to competence
through bitter years of penurious
sacrifice.
The whole flow of financial advice
given to savers is toward this ultra
conservatism, this system of renting
out savings. The ones who do not
heed this advice are the richest
men in the land.
When E. H. Hartman died his
strong boxes were found to contain
many shares Of worthless stock. But
those investments which had been
winners made the losses trivial by
comparison.
]. Pierpont Morgan left behind
him plenty Of "undigested securi-
ties"
These men were investors, who
make money do work. They made
their mistakes. But their eggs were
never all in one basket. When they
lost they lost moderately. When
they won they won big.
Tony with the pushcart invests
$40 in stock and makes this invest
ment earn 25 per cent day. But
even this concrete example of the
earning power Of money fails to teach
him the lesson. He deposits these
earnings in a savings bank and gets
4 per cent interest on them, while
those who invested in the savings
banks stock are receiving from 20
to 40 per cent profits on their money.
When Tony accumulates $1,000 he
takes 1t back with him to the old
country. If he had learned to make
money work he would be here still
getting rich.
Inc moral Is this: Don't rent your
money. Be conservative in your in
vestments, but invest. Have faith
In your fellow men. Back their
brains and your own judgment.
Don't have your eggs in one basket.
Make your savings work for you, and
you are headed toward wealth.

GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.

Congressman Joseph Howell, in all probability, will
not enjoy much rapturous excitement account of the
recent attitude of The Journal towards him. Nor will
the suddenness of this summersaut the part of our
contemporary make the deluson any more effective.
On the other hand, Mr. Howell, we opne will at once
place the "bg daily in the category of the Greeks Bear
ing Gifts We say this from the fact that we have been
acquainted with the Congressman long time and very
frequently under similar occurrences, have heard him
quote that famous declaration of Virgils, 81 fear the
Greeks when they offering presents"
1t is useless for us to say that did dstort Con-
gresham Howeps interview, in our issue of last week.
from the fact that many readers do not require such
word from u.s. They know that do not do such things
And for that matter The Journal knows that did not
dstort "the political expressions of Congressman Howell
into endorsement of Stone La Toilette et-al 1t had
purpose in view which can be plainly seen, and which
is so analogous to that Of the Greeks Bearing Gifts
that we fear The Journal will not accomplish much Of
coup.
For the benefit of esteemed contemporary, who
has such mania for putting its head into the noose and
show that prepared to make 1t eat It's own words
we say that we anticipate much from The journal
and therefore kept Mr. Howels manuscript We suggest
that some representative of The Journal representa-
tives call and inspect the manuscript 1t is in the hand
writing of the Congressman and be easily identified
If such inspection reveals the fact that we distorted
Mr. Howells expression, misrepresented him in the
slightest desire to apologize Otherwise The journal
will have sufficient inside information to follow the course
in keeping with its INSCRIPTIONS proportions.
The Journal says it does not believe Mr. Howell would
voice such sentiments that contained in his interview
Well them why did not this big daily interview him and
find 1t appears to be friendly to him all at once
why not interview him and get some expression to the
contrary. And if it can not get contrary expression
crcse him as it used to do when he in public life
We recall in one of it's former issues these Words us
Joseph Howell to be immune from criticism because ne
is Congressman etc. If not immune then why so now!
And if The Journal had the backbone to crtcise Con
gresham when it was TrWeekly why all this dffid-
ence in the matter Of private citizen?

SHALL WE SAVE OR INVEST?

What caused the war In Europe?
In the last analysis this: France rem
ted money, while Germany made
money work.
The French are the money lend
ers of the world. They save and
lease their savings at low rentals
(interest) to those who know how to
use it..
The Germans also save. But in
stead Of lending their money, rent
ing 1t, they make it perform to its
full earning power. The Germans
took their savings and backed each
other in industry.
Jean. the Frenchman, bought a
bond-he rented his money. Hans,
the German. bought a share of stock
and made his money work for him.
And so France stood still with an
income that gave her a living and
nothing more. Germany went ahead
by leaps and bounds, her expanding
industry absorbing world trade until
she became menace to those of 9TH
er nations who make their money
work.
The clash-regardless Of how IL
started In the present instance-was
bound to come.
There is meat in this thought for
all OF us. In spite OF the prominence
which Wall Street gains on the front
pages. the great mass of American
savers are money renters not inves-
tors. They rent their money to saw
ings institutions at low interest.
They are ultra-conservative.
A recent book is causing animated
discussion In financial circles. II is
written by II. l.. Barber, a Chicago
financial expert. and 1t Is Called
Making Money Make Money"
In this volume the writer has call
ed attention to the rapid concentra-
ton OF wealth in few hands. I
maintain the theory that this wealth
could be largely distributed II the
public could be taught to invest its
savings.
In other words. the average AmerI-
can saver rents his money to those
who know how to make It work, and
