Making a Win

A subscriber urges propaganda in
behalf Of the will. that testamentary
evidence of the wishes Of the maker.
He finds many instances where neg
the property going to some person or
purpose for which the former pos
SCISSOR never intended It.
Such thing has happened not
withstanding the making of will
Sometimes it becomes necessary to
take the will before the court for in
depreciation. Few facts have been
more clearly demonstrated than that
nothing b more uncertain than what
will oM done with a will. The law
will more certainly dispose Of the
property II there be no will. On the
other hand one who wishes to have
something to say respecting the dis
position of what he leaves behind
should make a will and he should en-
him in the making of it. There are
many things which should be con-
sidered in connection with the dis
posal Of some kinds of property. The
philanthropic person who willed a lit
tie farm to her fellow employees as a
haven of refuge failed of her purpose
as she left no provision for the main
tenance Of it. Had she received prop
er assistance in the making it might
have been otherwise.
One might suggest as addenda to
Robert Louis Stevenson's:
Glad did live and gladly die
And / laid me down with a WILL"
and have It drawn up by someone
learned in the making of wills and
who knows just what you wish to ac-
complish.

Destroying the Foundation

The report Of an address delivered
Thursday before the National Retail
Dry Goods Association in New York
by the vice-president of one Of the
largest banking institutions in the
world includes a reference to the
dangers Of lower business ethics, and
his words ought to be productive of
good results. Doubtless some of his
hearers could recall that when prices
We're rising some of the jobbers, who
are now complaining, were not al
ways prompt, to say the least, in fill
ing their obligations. But however
tie mischief began it must have as
stunned alarming proportions to re-
ceive the attention it is now receiv-.
ing.
The banker declared, "the sudden
depreciation of business morals
should concern us more than the
precipitate deprection in commodity
values. Many financial bankruptcies
are preceded by and result from
moral bankruptcies. And it is just
as essential for business men to have
moral rating as a financial rating.
1t is as true today as ever that char
acter is the best basis for credit. The
widespread and increasing number Of
cancellation of orders, reputation of
contracts. and protesting of irrevoca-
bic credits, constitute one of the most
serious business problems of the day
both in domestic and foreign trade"
He added by way of justice to the
American business men that the ma
jority are living up to their obliga-
tons, but he dwelt at length on the
menace Of the unprincipled minority
at this ,particlar time when we can
not afford to permit ANY loosening
or deterioration of the very corner
stone" of our business structure.
