Some advantage has of course re- suited from Government interference, such as unified operation; but there is a growing desire to regain the for mer benefits of private mana cement lost under the present regime. There is also Q belief that business improve naent will stimulate gross earnings, and aid in overcoming the heavy Joss in net earnings last year resulting from the abnormal increases in wag- t+ There is still another element in railroad values; and that is the ab- sence of imitation in this class of in vestments. A similar situation pre- vails in regard to telegraph and tele- phone investments which have suffer- ed likewise from experiments in Gov ernment control. Commodities have been enorm ousIy inflated by the war; so have wages and credit. Some of the industriaIs were heavily inflated, though much if not all of this ad- vance has disappeared. RaIroad q shares and bonds, however, remained practically stationary, and some sort of parity must be established between values in various economic divisions; some falling. others rising until equil- ibriuIn is more nearly reached. Owing 70 government financing g-esp eCially the forthcoming heavy note issues there will inevitably be some imitation in bank loans. the effect of which in time will work itself out in the se- curity markets.

 Unrest in the labor world Is in- creasing rather than decreasing. La bor leaders, encouraged by recent successes, seem quite likely to lead their followers to ultimate defeat, un- less they keep within reason If they block the wheels of industry, if they insist upon making themselves a public nuisance. if they put up prices upon themselves, if they fight simply for class advantage, overlooking tho interest of the public as a whole, they will surely ride for a severe fall and set the cause of labor backward and not forward. Some of Iabor's claims are justified, but some are not. All intelligent men wish to see labor well paid, wrongs lighted and justice pre- vail; but the use of force, coercion and revolutionary ideas will simply delay any such progress. All differ ences between employer and empIoye should be settled on the true Ameri- can basis, that of free discussion, mu- tuaI consideration and fair play. In these directions alone lie the true so- luton of all such conflicts, and exag- gerated discontent, tnstigated by aliens who wish to block Anertca's s prosperity, will simply bring us down to the level of European anarchy.

HOW TO SELECT INVESTMENTS

How is the investment protected by assets of the company?
 What securities come ahead of the one under consideration
 Responsibility.
 Is the management responsible and efficient?
 What is the responsibility of the selling agency?
 Is the rate of interest satisfactory to the investor?
 How does the rate of interest com pare with other investments equally safe?
 How Is interest or dividends pay able?
 If bond or note, how Is the princi- pal payable and what is the length of time to run?
 What are the convertible privi- 1eges?
 The well informed investor does not hesitate to demand information on these vital points. Any but di- rect answers should not satisfy him, for it is his right to have this infor- nation and 1t should be in written or printed form
 It Is really amazing how much money is invested without the ordi- nary care that characterizes other business transactions.
 The merchant demands to know the quality of merchandise he purchases. The home buyer demands perfect title to a property. The careful housewife demands full quantity and quality for the price paid. But when it comes to the investment of money the tendency Is to rely too largely on the opinion or enthusiasm of the sell ing agency.

Common sense should be the guid- Ing star in the selection of invest ments just as it should in other bust ness matters, To be influenced blind ly by what others do in the invest nlent field is to be misguided and tempt failure.
 There is no better evidence of good business judgment than the selection of sound and profitable investments. and there is great satisfaction in the collection of interest or dividends of money put to work.
 On the other hand there is nothing more discOuraging than the loss of money by investment because of the lack of care on the part of the in vestOr

Atlantic City is the centre of in
terest among the spring resorts just
now in connection with the opening
there of the Pan-American Aeronautic
Convention. Filters from all over the
world have gathered at the resort, and
every conceivable type of machine can
be seen by the promenaders on the
boardwalk. The result is that almost
as large crowd has gathered there
rs at the height of the season or
around Easter and all the hotels again
are taxed to the limit.
To-day a memorial service is to be
held on the Steel Pier for the Tiers
who lost their lives in the war.
An additional attraction this week
will be the annual golf tournament
on the links of the Atlantic City Coun-
try Club at Northfeld
The season at Lakewood will con-
tinue until the end of the month, when
the Laurel House will close for the
summer. The Laurel in the Pines closes

Such an end to the presidents trip is not
at all surprising. He is no longer young and
the strain Of the last seven years has been
fearful. He has had to face big questions ever
since he entered the White house and his re-
sponsibility at the helm through the war would
have taxed the resources of the strongest in
body and mind Peace negotiations brought
him little or no relief, for when the army
stopped fighting he began, first before the YER
sailles conference for what he believed was
right and would best guarantee the objects
for which his country went to arms, and later
against personal and political enemies, reac-
tionaries and pro-Germans who have resorted
to every trick and subterfuge to defeat that
for which he had contended.
While the president has been compelled
to give his body respite it isn't likely list he
is done fighting. He may not be heard again
in this contest from the stump. but his infu-
ence will continue to pc exerted for the treaty
and the league and those who are opposing
both will find him there at the finish

A Roosevelt Memorial.

A vigorous campaign is being conducted
by the Roosevelt Memorial association for
funds with which to erect an appropriate struc-
ture dedicated to the memory of the late citi-
zen of Oyster Bay. 1t ought to be and doubt
less will be encouraged in its undertaking by
men and women OF all classes.
Roosevelt was a great American and it is
a question if any individual has done more
than he for the advancement of American in
situations and ideals He stood for what is
best in our national life and left an example
that will be an inspiration to others as long
the republic endures.
There should be Roosevelt memorial and
it ought to be one conceived on a scale pro-
portionate to the man it is erected to honor.
Nothing tawdry mediocre will do.
Money to build it ought to come from all
the people and not from few, for the pennies
of the poor mean as much in such an under
taking the thousands of the rich.
