THE ROAD TO WEALTH.

Iowa Magazine: The strange spec
tacle is ever to be observed OF the
successful business man endeaVorlns
to double his possessions by trusting
his funds to others engaged in an en-
tirely different line of work.
The prosperous farmer buys pack
ing house stock, the successful mer-
chant takes "a flyer in oil stock.
The farmer knows nothing about the
hacking business. But he is told that
he does not need this knowledge, Tor
someone else will run the packing
plant and earn him mnch greater
profits anyway At best, the farmer
has a very hazy idea Of this remark
able factory operator. II the farmer
were sinking his money into farm
to be managed by another he would
certainly investigate the operator
very thoroughly. 1t seems anyone
can duplicate the performances OF
the "Big Five in Extracting every
thing but the squeal from hog
Similarly, the merchant places
about 81 900 with the Blank OH COM
pany operated by John Doe, who for
years has been a moving force in the
oil business-probably on the top of
a tank wagon with the reins In his
hand. But the merchant would not
lend an unknown merchant anything
like $1,000. Oh, no; merchandising
is too uncertain.
The legsons the old copy books
sought to teach are still unlearned.
"You cannot get something for moth
ing" There is no royal road to
wealth."
It would be infinitely better for
the merchant OF farmer to burn his
$1,000. The predatory stock sales
man would then be forced to seek
productive employment.
The best method, however, OF
doubling his possessions is for the
merchant or farmer to put his funds
to work for him. A savings account

called weekday meetings in her home when
were attended by Governor Vane, doughty Cap
tain Underhill, half the other men and most OF
the women Of the settlement, at which she dls-
sected the sermons, discussed and commented
| on them and expounded her own contrary
| views
This generation is little concerned with the
points she made, or for that matter with DOC
trinal disquisitions of any kind; but it may be
NOTED in passing that Anne held that persons
might be justified without being sanctlhed,
which is a peculiarly comforting doctrine Tor
tpeople whose sanctty seems to leave something
| to be desired. She claimed also that she ana

1.-THE colony were only under a covenant OF works
(which was of decidedly inferior KIND. 80
burning did this question become that on the
Ieve of the Pequot Indian war militia company
refused to march because a chaplain had been
lfoisted on it who was under nothing better than
la covenant Of works.
The way Anne stirred up that colony and kept
lit seething at fever heat was caution, ana Tue
Puritan mothers were for the most part with
her, the principal ants being the old-schooi
minister's wives. One reason was that she was
the best nurse in the settlement; but the chle1
one doubtless was that women found the Purl-
tan theoeracy more wearing than they felt II
prudent to assert But in the end the opposition
was too strong The covenant of workers got
the upper hand at an election at which the
women Of course had no votes Anne was tired

their fifteen children were banlshed Happily
she had, accounts say, forty fathoms of wampum
which enabled her to buy an island IN Nara
gansett bay; but she was killed by the Indians
in l643 near New Rochelle, New York, an event
which her enemies in Massachusetts hailed as
g a manifestation of divine providence. A diff
ferent view probably would be taken OF 1t by !
the churches Of today. But think of all that
highly vitalized woman did in tn forty-two
years of. her life. Think Of those fifteen chill

came 1.-THE greatest royal governor of Massa-

honor, and take off your hat to the mothers in
Israel OF three hundred years ago.

Why Clothes VIII Be chsaper.

New York World: By next spring
the prices OF mems clothing will drop
80 1-3 per cent. or more, Is the an
nouncement made at the annual con-
yention at Chicago of the Retail
Clothiers' National association. But
why must the grateful event so con-
fidently predicted by the clothing
dealers spokesman be postponed for
another six months or more? May
not the public In that respect have
something decisive to say? If by re-
.iiucing its purchases it has brought
about a change Of conditions In its
own favor, it has only to persist in
its campaign of self enforced economy
to hasten relief from excessive prices.
1t is an infallfble remedy, and that
it was not applied sooner was due to
the contagion of extravaganza that
swept the country following the end
OF the war Governor Coolidge, of
Massachusetts, has the right idea.
He says he has not bought a suit in
eighteen months or a pair OF shoes
in two years. Not every man is
true-bred Yankee with a native sense
of thrift to guard him against the
temptation of buying new suit of
clothes, but hundreds or thousands of
men have the same self interest in
getting their moneys worth and re-
sisting the methods Of INSCRIPTIONS
profiteers. Prices have been inordin-
ately high primarily because the
American people have been willing to
pay them rather than curb their pur-
chases. Now that consumers are
coming to their senses. dealers are
ready to admit that prices must be
reduced.

SUBSTANCE AND SHADOW.

How differently things work out in politics
from what they promise! Mr.. Wilson was re-
elected on.the ground that he had kept us out OF
the war and on the implication that he would
continue toskeep US out. Y ct Immediately after
election hesplunged us into the European mael-
strom and has kept Us in the war for two years
after it is over and the other belllgerents are
officially and actually at peace.
And tai ethe case Of Governor Cox. lie owes
his nomination undeniably to the element IN his
party led by Murphy, Taggart and others OF the
practical as opposed to the idealistlc school,
who picked him as the candidate who would
stand most openly for the naturalization OF the
Volstead law, who was least in sympathy with
the present administration and had no percep-
tible odor of wisconsin about his policies, his
person or his clothes Yet he promptly pro-
ceeds to shelve the issue which won him his
nomination and seems willing enough to out
Wilson Wilson in extolling the covenant 'as he
brought it home.'
Naturally enough, Tammany, the recognized
democrat party organization in New York City
and state, feels that the tender shoot Of it's cam
didate has been frosted and it's heart like Bry-
ans, is in the grave. What's the use, it says
OF trying to be good or ito do anything anyhow
to save a national party that won't be saved
In this Responding mood it maintains an icy 81
lence concerning the candidate, and is reputed to
be willing to trade off votes for him for Smith,
its candidate for governor, or for almost any
one else Murphy and Taggart, who are by no
means idealists, have determined, it seems, to
cling to the substance and let the shadow 60
At comparatively small expense the federal
department of agriculture developed and made

forty million dollars. If the same clever little
developers would turn their scientific search
lights ON the automobile road hog and stop his
killings, the saving would be far in excess of
any such paltry annual economy.

the situation well in hand, close OBJ

Machine Well fabricated
While Administration leaders worked
in concert to control the machinery
Of the convention, there is no assur-
ance that the community interest
among them will continue when the
balloting has reached the end of the
preliminary stage of the compliment
ary voting. There are many who be-
lieve there will be no definite drift
of presidential sentiment until after
the platform has been adopted and the
candidates definitely know upon what
character of party principles they are
expected To stand. There was no sur
face indication when the convention
met today when there was any mater
ial change in the relative standing
Of the presidential candidates.
The full committee on platform oc-
cupied the hours before the opening
of the convention, which was set for
/ p. m. in giving hearings to various
interests that hand planks to offer for
the platform. The subcommittee,
meanwhile remained inactive.
The committee on rules also met
carly and threshed out the unit rule
question, an effort being made to
adopt some regulation that would not
come in conflict with state primary
laws.
