HIGH NEWS MISTAKES.
Evan the orsatess finaneisrs Get ia ss
 Dad Invsstnasnts.

Evan the orsatsss FinaneIsrs Get is = Ded Investments. Every investor nust learn by expert ence. and experience costs money. Ev erybody has to foot the bill for his own education. The man who buys a horse and finds he has been cheated ought to and probably will know better how to make his next horse trade. The same thing applies to the purchase of real estate or any other property, SC curities included.
 l have commented often on the credulity of the public in buying all kinds of securities without knowledge of their real value. This credulity ap- parently extends to all classes. It Is curious fact that the estates of some of our greatest financiers after the death of the latter disclose large hold. ings of worthless or nearly worthless securities.
 AS shrewd and careful man as the late Russell Sage left lot of what are called "cats and dogs" though these constituted but a fraction of his enor- nous estate. The late J. P. Morgan. head of one of the strongest, most con- servative and richest banking houses in the world, left about $70OOO, 900, and the inventory shows that one-tenth of this, or $7.OOO.OOO. is marked as worth less.''
 It included all kinds of mining, in- dustrial and other speculative enter prises that may have promised returns but that failed to meet expectations. Possibly the worthless securities Sage and Morgan held came to them as part of trade deals without costing them much, or possibly they were bought to help out friends. MT. Mor- gan especially was known to have man. ifested his friendship in a very sub. stantial manner to those to whom he had taken liking.-Leslie's Weekly.

 Il remember damage case we had once which illustrates how easily the truth may mislead If another material fact Is withheld. A man had been killed by passenger train when cross Ing grade few miles out of Indian. apolis. It was at night. and the rattle of his covered wagon prevented his hearing the approaching train.
 Two witnesses testified that no headlight was burning on the locomo tive and that they did not hear any whistle. It was in the days when oil headlights were universal. and each headlight was equipped with a little shade like window blind that could be raised and lowered. The engineer and the fireman testified that they had lighted the headlight an hour before the accident and that they examined 1t after the accident and found it burn ing
 We won the case. Several days aft. CT that l met the engineer and asked him. John. how did 1t happen those other people testified the headlight was not burning!

It was still down when the accident occurred. but we told the truth when we said it was lighted "- Indianapolis News.

COMPULSORY SERVICE.

Major General Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, has been indulging in little plain talk in his testimony before congressional com mittee. He says emphatlcally that the volunteer army system is a fail ure-has proved itself failure-and that the only possible remedy which presents itself is compulsory service.
 General Scott's views or this sub ect are of vital concern to the Amer ican people. When the chief of staff says that the federalized national guard has proved failure. under the present system of organization, he expresses what critics of less stand ing have already charged. He does rot blame the individual guardsmen, but the border fiasco has demonstrat- ground if we rely upon our militia for national defense. There is grow ing demand for the repeal of the Hay bill, passed at the last session of con- gross, because 1t is founded in poli- tics and is unsatisfactory in opera tion, as its opponents asserted when the measure was up for considera- tion.
 It was somewhat surprising to hear the army leader say that we need trained army at all times of l 100000 men and that he would need another fifteen hundred thousand men within ninety days after war broke out. Tie increase in the British array, coupled with the fact of the British-Japane. = alliance, is cited by Scott as creating the necessity for so large military establishment.
 Some persons interested in the question have, of late suggested that the nation build up an army by of fering volunteers a decent wage one that would attract them from civ il life. No doubt this would serve the purpose, but, according to Gen. eral Scott, it would be so expensive that it would bankrupt the nation. He asserts with authority that the volunteer system has failed in peace time and adds that it would be mur- der to send untrained men againtt trained ,soldiers-as we would now have tf do in time of war. The only was Out of the difficulty-the efficient, the just and the right way-he ayers is to adopt the really democratic sys asRa of universal service.
 l k ksobseryations of the chief of staff e particularly timely. Ad- mittedly they come from an army man rather than from pacificist-- but Scott is known as the "peacemak- CT" of the army. In the European countries continue to build up and maintain great military establish ments after the present war it is not improbable that we shall have to come to compulsory service in spite Of our pacific inclinations.
 The American people as a nation are against co1scription. l. is ab- horrent to the average American to be subservient to military discipline and at the beck and call of super for, but if it becomes necessary to defend this country against encroach- ments by foreign powers, it will be found that men will flock to the col ors readily, and to be useful it is nec- essary that they have had previous military training.
