THE KEY TO A TREASURY.

Secretary of State Colby, in his address Sat-
urday night gave some sound advice to Americans
who are doing business or who expect to do BUSH
ness in Latin America.
1.-THE great barrier to American progress
abroad" he told the Academy of Political and
Social Sciences in Philadelphia, "is language. The
neople of the United States not linguists
Business has not time for the interpreter.
Until the faacy that English will carry you around
tbe world is exploded, and until the men whom
we send as representatives to Latin America speak
the tongue of the Spanard or the Portuguese, our
nrorress will be hating and disappointing. q
LANGUAGES are the key which not only opens
the richest stores of great lteratures, but opens
the doors of influential profitable human con-
facts with great peoples.
These things have been said before; but they
perative that new markets be opened up for Ameri'
can farmers and manufacturers.
When Mr.. Colby says tina the American people
are not linguists, he means that, as matter OF
fact comparatively few of them speak more than
their native tongue. He does not mean that they
are not capable of learning another language
Those of us who have heard Louise CoX-born III

will never solve the states financial problem This
has been done already, in the case of the cattle
men. It must not be repeated.
If the mines are compelled to pay just tax;
if the assessment machinery is made sufficiently
expert to reach all property which should be on
the tax-rols: if flat income tax is levied, the
revenues of the state may be made to reach its
expenditures provided those expenditures are pared
to the bone otherwise the present administration
will find itself weighed in the balance and found
wanting" The situation calls for hard political and
economic sense.
Here these two gentlemen find themselves at
the forks of the road Have they the craftsmanship
to seize their opportunity for service? We believe
they have They must face the music and accept the
consequences of their decision. They should re-

hurting that day. ...
81 don't know what I'd do with
out my crutch," he said. "And I'd
better be getting back to Nurse
Jane and my hollow stump bunga-
low before the pain grows worse"
Now, while Uncle Wiggily was
hippity- along with Flop
py's surprise from the candy store
the bad old Fox and Wolf came
running over the hill. They saw
the bunny gentleman going along.
81 know how we can catch Uncle
Wiggily," snarled the Wolf.
How" parked the Fox.
"I'll run up and take away his
crutch," said the Wolf. "Pll grab
it, run away and hide it. He has
the rheumatism so badly today
that he can't walk without his
crutch. And when l take it away
he can't go any farther and you
can run up and grab him, and
nibble his ears. But save some
nibbles for me-"
81 will" promised the Fox.
So the bad old Wolf got ready,
and, when Uncle Wiggily was Won
/ dering what Nurse Jane would
have nice for his supper, all of a
sudden, up behind him jumped the
| Wolf, grabbing away the bunny's
crutch. .....
"Now he can't get away, Mr..
Fox. Rush up and nibble his

But it was so slippery that the
! Fox could not run up right away,
and this gave Uncle Wiggily a
chance to get his, breath; also to
| think.
ooh, how can / get away from
the Fox and Wolff" the bunny
gentleman asked himself. For the
Wolf had run on ahead to hide the
crutch, and the Fox had not yet
come up. "If I only had a stick
| or something to lean on ! might
limp to my bungalow before the
Fox can get me-" thought the poor
bunny. "But there isn't a stick
in sight! What can l use for a
crutch ?"
Then he thought of the long
thing the candy store mousie girl
clerk had given him for Floppy.
'Tll open it and see what it is, -"
said the bunny.
And when Uncle Wiggily opened
the box in it was a long, red and
white striped peppermint candy
cane! Think of that!"
| "Oh, hurray!" cried Uncle Wig
| gily. "a candy cane! l can lean
on that as well as on my crutch!
| Now am saved!" .l
Before the Wolf could run back,
and before the Fox could come
up, away hoped the bunny, lean
ing on the candy cane. He safely
reached Floppy's house, where he
stayed until policeman dog went
and got back the red, white and
| blue striped crutch where the
| Wolf had hidden it.
I'm glad you brought me a
| candy cane" grunted Floppy

he hoped to his bungalow. And

Wigglly laughed until his pink nose
twinkled like an umbrella turning
inside out. -.
Don't laugh so loudly begged
Nurse Jane. Some of the other
bad animals of the wood may try
to get you. The wicked wolf hasn't
tried this week"
pooh! Stuff and nonsense!
laughed Mr. Longears. I'm not
afraid of the wolf. He can't roll in
