It is an American character
istic to shout when you win but
never cheep when you lose.
More's the pity.
And shrewd stock swindlers
have made the most of it.
If only ten per cent of the
victims who have traded their
Liberty Bonds for worthless
stocks in wild cat companies
alone were to tell the country
of their losses it would discour-
age this sort Of bartering.
But they will never do it.
The man who is stung the hard
est is the least likely to admit
it. He simply grins and bears
it.
Meantime thousands of Lib
erty Bond owners are consider
ing surrendering their 3k2, 4
and Az certainties for neatly
printed and highly illuminated
certificates that are 80 per cent
pipe dreams.
Nine times out Of ten these
gulls are the small investors,
the fellows who can the least
afford to lose.
There is some excuse for the
man who lives in a developing
oil field and sees and knows
what is being done investing in
a promoting company there.
But there is no apology to be
made fer the man who invests
at long range. Who never sees
what he is dumping his money
into, Who takes only a sales
mans word. Who, above ali
trades in a Liberty Bond for a
stock certificate.
Keep your bonds. They're ar
investment, not a speculation.

The UNDERGRADUATE Speaks.

I find that there is a cause for the
lack of individuality in undergraduate
themes, cause other than the mere
absence of ideas In undergraduates. It
may he traced even to the doors Of
classrooms and to the chairs of col
lege professors. For, in college, litera-
ture is not thing Of the spirit but of
the mind, and you will encounter above
the door of the English department
the scholars first and last command
ment, Beware Of your emotions"
There is no escape for those who en-
ter, so have done with your Adde'S
ccncc, which has given you to under
stand beauty and freshness Of phrase.
You are face to face now with form
with technique, and with the history Of
Observation-Disclosures.

North and the capitalists who live
where the railroads are owned were
not given to making railway transpOr-
tation rates that would permit South
ern factories to flourish in competition
with Northern factories. So they did
not flourish. and capital did not accu-
mulate in the South.
The people who bought raw materi-
ais from the South also fixed the prices
This matter of fixing prices at which
one must buy what others have to sell
is not calculated to endear the pur-
chaser to the vendor. So the buyer
generally alludeS to Il ShadOwy ma
chine somewhere in the unknown dis
lance as the source of prices and talks
knowingly about the laws of supply
and demand But it is largely humbug.
The man who has the capital has most
to say about what the price of what he
buys shall he.
And the South as a producer of raw
materials. without factories with which
to save tue difference between raw ma
terials and finished products, must
always be the industrial province of
the section that is blessed with the
ownership Of all things that 30 to con-
vert crude values into riches.
If the South shall escape from this
bondage its people will have to organ
ize themselves into a close union of all
classes and interests. The present
movement to cut down the acreage OF
cotton is beginning. if it goes far
enough to get at the root of the evil

One DAYS Picture.

Each day frames it's picture; work,
play, laughter, ennui, hoping, forget
ting, wasting and conserving. Each
day has it's shifting point OF sight, its
Interesting study in the angles of per-
spective, its high lights and low tones.
And then tomorrow comes and yester-
day is painted out, but the experience
and study Of yesterday count in the
work Of today. The artist is more of
nm artist. The result. = always mental
and spiritual and never material.
