goods iobbing business for ten months

heavily for ten months, and inasmuch

for the first eight months their cred

channels of distribution.
On the tenth month Ilamborpe &

ticularly heavy. but there was nothing
unusual in that. 1t was tho period oil
the year when the shipments OF the
mills were heavy, and the goods had
been ordered in advance at various
periods.
But before the end of the tenth month
before the bills fell due, Ramborne Il

The Man Who Blew the Mississippi
Bubble
John Law, one of the most Strkingly
unique figures in American history, Sc
cured an early start in his career of
crime by being sentenced to death for
murder committed during Il duel
fought in England. Through the infu-
ence Of friends, however, he escaped to
Holland, where he drifted into employ
ment in the Bank Of Amsterdam, a con-
nection from which he appears to have
collected sufficient capital to finance
campaign Of gambling which
netted him the enormous sum of
100000.
It vas after this coup that Law sug-
gcsted to the Duke OF Orleans, regent
for the young King Louis NV, the plan
for q formation of a state bank with
power to issue notes and accept de-
posts 1t was from the success Of this
that there arose the idea for the Missis-
sippi Co.. an organization designed to
exploit the entire territory OF Louisiana
TWO years later tho management of the
mint was handed over to Laws com
pany and he was thus enabled TO manip-
uate the coinage, as well as controlling
the collection and disposal of the entire
state taxation. For a while all went

Liberty Comes High"
In an address at Philadelphia to
the Associated Advertising Clubs,
June %, 1916, President Wilson
said:
81 believe ;. that America,
the country that we put first in
our thoughts, should be ready in
every point of policy and of action
to vindicate at whatever cost the
principles of liberty, of Justice,
and of humanity to which we have
been devoted from the first.

means that you have not only got
to be just to your fellow men, but
that as nation you have got to
be just to other nations. 1t comes

do"
The American people now rea-
lize that it comes high to fight
for liberty, Justice, and peace
throughout the world, but do they
not still propose to vindicate the
principles of liberty, justice, and
humanity in International rela-
tions "at whatever cost?
