RAILROAD AND TRADE FINANCING

n ANDICAPS to the market have
II been afforded by the slowness of
congress in dealing with important
questions now before it relating to
railroad and trade financing. The
house adopted the Esch railroad bill
but the senate Is so closely occupied
with other matters that the disposal
Of this bill in any form is evidently
deferred until toward the close of De-
cember. A very serious question must
be considered to exist with respect to
the possibility of passing a railroad
measure in any complete form before
the end of the year, when the lines go
back to private ownership. the pros
poets apparently favoring incomplete
action Of some kind. attempted tenta-
lively to bridge over the Immediate
problem, pending the lapse of sufficient
time to allow the adoption of a COM
plete measure. Disappointment was
expressed in financial circles quite gem
orally because of the failure of con-
gress to act upon the Edge bill before
adjournment. A favorable conference
report was presented to both houses
on Nov. II, but action was suspended.
This. Of course. effectually postpones
action until a much later date, since
no further steps can be taken toward
the organization Of foreign trade finan-
cling corporations pending the actual
signature Of the measure in its COM
plete form.

WHAT THE PRESS or THE
NATION SAY
WHAT MAKES A PRoFlTEERa
Chicago Tribune)

In casting about for some method of
attack upon the cordially hated prof
iteer we slipped, somewhat uncon-
sciously, into the interpretive mood
which produced the question: What
Esakes a profiteer possible? and this
suggested the old college song.
Strike up the band,
Here comes a sailor;
Cash on his hand,
Just off the whaler.
Wherefore we decided that what
makes possible the profiteer is the
number of approaching sailors with
cash in their hands; in short. the
American public on shore leave after
four years of perilous voyaging.
Is the profiteer to be blamed for
striking up 'the band when he sees a
sailor with cash in his hand? Or ia
the spendthrift public, displaying Its
cash in hand, to be blamed for the
eagerness with which it tempts nat
ural cupidity?
We are aware there will be many
protests against this argument. The
protests will come from those who
honestly are endeavoring to practice
economy and sincerely are devoted to
prudent management. To those we
must say that there is profiteering in
the necessities and we must admit that
this profiteering Is not induced by the
prudent and economical. 1t is made
possible by the imprudent and the
Easteful.
1t is unfortunate that the thrifty
should suffer for the extravaganza of
their fellows; but this is what is hap
pening. And 1t will continue until the
extravaganza learn better MANAGEMENT
or are compelled by force of circum-
stances to forego their prodigal habits.
AS nation We had better quit play
ins the role Of sailor. We are seen
coming.

A TRAIL OF DlSHoNOR

It was q curious perversion of ac-
copied laws of ethics on the part of
certain wealthy persons, claiming for
themselves the title of Americans, that
csused the substituting of number
Of newspapers whose chief purpose is
the printing of appeals for the over
throw of the federal government. For
a long time the department of justice
has been aware that scores of revolu-
t'cnary journals in the United States
wore receiving from sources unknown
the money that was required to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of a
receiver. But it has remained for the
Lusk Legislative committee of New
York to ferret out the anonymous
wealthy patrons of the journals of rev.
olutiOn, and to obtain the names of
those who have been secretly plotting
against the United States by providing
means by which such journals are en-
abled to be published day by day
The red" trail in New York leads
directly into the homes of "a number
of persons in the famous Greenwich
Village section of the city. Greenwich
Village is noted as the home of artists
and writer's. But 1t was left for the
energy of the New York committee to
add to it a new title of fame as the
home par excellence of the ''parlor boil

made, or names given to the public.
But the committee has In it's possession
the names of those who. by contribut-
ing to the upkeep of the incendiary

ADVICE no BANQUET SPEAKER

Always use up ten minutes telling
the audience you cannot make a speech
and by the end Of that time they will
believe you.
When you get started, speak two or
three hours. Remember. the crowd
didn't come to hear anybody but your
self.
Don't take chance on any new stor-
les, you are sure to get laugh on
the old ones.
When you get off the track. stop and
take a drink of water, no matter how
painful that may be. By the time you
get through drinking the water the
audience will have forgotten what you
were talking about.
