Mark Twain as Financier

Mark Twain was a very successful and prosperous literary but a financier he was surprising failure Remembering his Colonel Sellers, we might think, perhaps that he would have learned wisdom experience, but the humoriss imagination seems have been too powerful for him in the matter Of investments.
 Mark Twain's financial career was almost as anus ing the fiction of his immortal stories It is said that his habit of large view things apart from the quality that the humorist inherited from both sides of his family Unfortunately it failed him at the very time it might have been of the greatest importance.
 When inventor, after money, came along With
 steam generator that would save ninety per of the usual coal supply, Mark Twain large, and bade goodby to his entire bank surplus. steam pull lev followed this failure and pulled from the pockets of the humorist thirty two thousand dollars in no time all A method of marine teegraphy' failed tS any of the twenty five thou sand dollars he invested in it. The record might be extended much farther.
 But the day that Mark Twain's imagination failed to be in working order was when Alexander Graham Bell offering stock in invention for carrying the human voice a wire. This was much, for the who invented Colonel Sellers. Mark Twain had grown wise at last from his harsh experiences and he refused to invest a paltry live huhureo uoars Whieh d friend trled to get hlni to put into the teephOne-and he lost his chance make real fortune. But Mark Twain did lend five thousand dollars friend day after he re- jected the offer of the telephone stock just three days later went into bankruptcy
 Robert Louis Stevenson said that to a man with proper money sense five hundred dollars enough; but a person without this sense the sum perfectly useless.
 Mark Twain wrote immortal stories but he couldn't save money

Where the People
 hIay Have Hearing
A Criticism

To the Editor:
 Have read your today's editorial on the 1916 election, and wish gently to intimate that for one in your position, you appear to have d rather short memory or should 1 say. Perhaps you could explain why, before election, the Germans were all, both here and abroad, so wildly against Wilson's re- election. Of course We understand that Hughes was committed to a firm course, but to them, anything was bet ter than Wilson. You cannot deny this.
 I have to read your paper every day, and have noticed many such editorials with these backhanded, knifing, refer ences to the president and have thought that it seems very disguisting nov. to realize that Lincoln had detrac- tors. who were allowed to spread foul islanders about him; and that now ill like great emergency, that neither the hoosiers we send to congress to rep resent us, nor some of our opinion moulders" can forget their internal. chippy, picking, politics while We can the kaiser.

The amendment was not drawn to those under sentence of death on January of this year whose capital crimes might be committed before January l.

There was no objection to the communication there probably would be the communication Faiths sentence Yet. if there had been communications and the tences had been carried under the unrepealed it could not have been said that the will small minority which enacted the anti i-capital punishment ammendment had been flouted Acceding to the terms of the amendment those and men in the situation of Fatin were not to be saved.
