FOREIGN INVESTMENTS.

Apart from the billions loaned by tho

for the long-term securities Of foreign
countries. the municipal bonds Of several
French cities being conspicuous III the

virtually unknown before the war. but =
recent estimate Is that moro than half
4 billion American dollars have gone

The new form of investment IS IN
terestIng and il seems to be especially
profitable because q great part of the

THE MAN FROM CHILLICOTHE.

A visitor from Chillicothc says it cost
him exactly 81 in one hour for tips and
excess charges when he arrived in New
York. He tipped the Pullman porter,
the red cap, the taxi-driver, the doorman
the captain, the bcllhop, the porter, the
waiter, the headwaiteT, the hat girl the
manicure girl the barber-shop porter
aud the barber, and All this in addition
to paying excess charges in the taxi trip,
on telephones, on newspapers brought
in the hotel, IL barber-shop charges and
for al alleged service he did not get in the
dining-rnom.
Most visitors do not require mani
cures services so early IN their stay. But
for the rest the indictment seems TO be
q true bill, and it il gratifying to observe
that The Man From Chilicothe draws
il up less as a complaint than as q philo-
sophie statement Of conditions in ''your

But does it ever occur 10 the strangers

lavish tips and pay the excess charges

May be, Easy Job.

While the Federal grand jury in Detroit
was investigating the charges of corruption
IN connection with the election OF Senator
Newberry of Michigan, the Senator had
nothing to say. Neither had any of his
Republican colleagues in the Senate. lie
sat in his seat, calmly Indifferent, and his
colleagues as calmly acquiesccd in his
assumed righteousness. His vote was
essential to the maintenance of the meagre
Republican majority, and that was all
he or they cared about.
But suddenly, like the explosion of a
bomb. came the report of the grand jury
at Detroit. It involved the Indictment
of Senator Newberry and more than n
hundred others alleged to have been in
volved in n campaign of corruption,
fraud and lawless expenditure of money
which resulted in the defeat, on the face
of the returns, of his opponent. Henry
Ford, by plurality Of only n little more
than seven thousand votes.
Immediately, Senator Ncwberry aban-
doned his lofty indifference and asked
for an investigation of the charges. His
colleagues agreed, and n committee for
the purpose was named. Meanwhile,
Newherry holds on to his challenged seat,
The investigating committee may find
its duties easy. There will be no need
of summoning witnesses and hearing tcsti-
mony All that will be necessary viii be
an examination of the grand jury records.
They will show what the charges are and
in what manner they are supported.
1t would be much better for the com
mittee 70 pursue this easy course than
to endeayor TO 'whitcwash' the accused
Senator.

PRESS COMMENT.
REAL TRIAL OrTHE COFFEE HOUSE

The coffee house, which has been
considered favorably as the most prac-
tical substitute for the saloon, is to
have fair trial here. II three sons
and a son-in-law of former Presi-
dent, each young man himself of abll-
ity, cannot make go of tho coffee
house then the sociologists who study
the behavior of grcgarious and some
time bibulous male humans will have
to suggest something else.
From the purely social point of view
the coffee house is attractive beyond
question 1t has warmth, pleasant sur
roundings, companionship and stimula-
ton. As an enterprise for making
money it is far different from tho saloon.
Even If the profit on coffee were 200
per cent, as it was on whisky, there
is still the matter of the turnover. Not
one man in million will stand at
bar and order cup of coffee every We
minutes for half an hour. lie takes his
coffee TO a table, reaches for something
to read, drinks with luxurious dcliberation.
In the old days of the London coffee
house rent was low and labor cheap.
II did not matter that DIR. Johnson
fingered over his coffee all day. But
the coffee house patron OF Manhattan,
il he sit half day over his cup, Is
loss to the proprietor, for every square
foot Of space occupied by him and
his table and his chair is costing two
cents day in rent alone. OF course
if the customer supplements his cof-
fec order with demand for oysters,
tcnderloin and baked Alaska, or
even with yearning for expensive
cakes, the tide turns in favor of the
proprietor and the caller may lnger
longer without perpetrating an eco
nomic injustice.
Coffee houses would be a good thing.
