BRUCE FOR THE SENATE

Now that the nominations for
United States Senator from
Maryland have closed and full
opportunity given for measuring
the qualifications OF the respec-
tive candidates, the affiliated vot-
,ers OF both parties are confront
ed with the necessity of making
a choice to be registered at the
primary election to be held on
September IL. The Evening
Capital, being Democratic
newspaper and believing in the
principles of that party, naturally
looks for. standard bearer
among its candidates. This year
there are three, all of whom pos
sess strong qualifications for the
office in question. One of these
candidates stands out, however,
as conspicuously qualified, name
ly, William Cabell Bruce, former
President of the Senate of Mary
land, counsel for many years to
the Public Service Commission, Il
lawyer OF preeminent ability and
leader of the Bar of Maryland.
profound student with nat
ural aptitude for statecraft, of UNI
improbable character,--in short.
a gentleman and a scholar in the
highest sense of the term. This
latter expression has come to be
used so often of him that it is
almost commonplace, but. as il
fits him exactly, it is applied
to him from all sources of criti-
ciSm.
In this day and generation
when real craftsmanship is usual
ly overlooked or forgotten, it is
refres hing to have a man of Mr..
Bruce's calibre submit his candi-
dacy TO the people, for the need
was never greater. OF all the
nominees of both parties, he best
typlhes that kind of statesman
ship which in years gone BY made
many of Maryland's representa-
tives in the upper house of Con-
gress leading national figures.
Moreover, at this juncture in
the political affairs of the State.
his entrance as candidate for the
senatorial nomination is particu-
larly fortunate. as his candidacy
is such that all elements of the
Democratic party and of the In
dependents can rally to him with
the complete assurance that he
is a man whose private and pub
lie life guarantee courageous.
capable and conscientious devo-
ton to duty and that he cannot
be ~swerved from it by fear. favor
or affection. political or other
wise.
That he is thoroughly sane and
practical. as we'll as possessing
the attributes of gentleman and
a scholar, is further shown in the
statement published by him in
announcing his candidacy, and in
the sincerity and soundness of
which position we fully believe.
We. therefore, have no hesitancv
in pointing to Mr.. Bruce as the
strongest candidate. in our iudg-
ment, now before the electorate
of MARYLAND.

French External Bonds

Question--t haya = fsw ,han..n, ,,,,...

"a psr aea' BONDS. also unt,e,l statss
,S'inr nSSioner preferred Kindly advise nj to
'nis STOCK. also bonds.-L. II.
Answer Before the war French
credit was Of the very highest. The
deot-raying tradition of tho French
people runs back for many years, and
we still have full confidence in the
financial INTEGRITY If the nation. Tho
relatively high Yield on French bonds
is attributable to conditions brought on
py the war. France paid as she went
to much less degree than Great Brit
ain or the United States. She there
1ore buiit up a'huge war debt, and since
the armlstice has based her public
hnancing plans on the assumption that
supseaneiai reparation payments would
pc received from Germany In rebuild
ing the devastated areas the French
government made outlays causing un
pa anced budgets, which, il hopes to get
oack In the form Of payments from
Germany. The uncertainty of this
whole question of reparations has been
effected in the market price of Frenc!,
bonds, which have been susceptible to
tue influence OF political and monte
developments abroad, and are likely to
continue go. The settlement of the
question of reparations and inter-Allied
debts would tend to clear the atmos-
phere. Under the circumstances, we
consider French external government
bonds inferior to those of the United
States and Great Britain, for example,
but nevertheless reasonably sound in
vestments. There is in United States
Rubber preferred stock an element Of
speculation, which accounts for the
fact that a yield of per cent is offered
at recent market prices, This company
was forced to suspend payment of com
mon dividends owing to substantial
loss on finished goods when prices be-
gan to drop. Although the company's
condition has shown some improve
ment, 1t has not yet recovered sufsi-
GENTLY to make the continuance Of
preferred dividends an absolute GER
tainty. This is something that you
must remember when considering the
stock for Investment The United
States Rubber per cent bonds nre a
good investment AS sho.t-term in
vestnent Rubber TINS. 1880, are suita-
BILE for the average investor. This bond
is not callable before maturity.

TO keep in touch with the earnings Of
the companies. Under ordinary con-
ditions a bond enjoying ready market
ability is more desirable than one which

many nigh grade securities often lack
marketability to a certain axtant.
Marketability, therefore, is q matter Of
personal preference.

me what information you have of North

ing. We will say without hesitation
that in our opinion these stocks are not
.eas reasonably sure as Coast Line to

proper for you to tighten your hold

Instead of the other three we suggest
that you take some such stocks as Gem

Risk in High Return

Question: am business woman. having
$4,000 TO invest. Would appreciate 1t very
much IL you would recommend few
bonds or atocks which would yield the
highest per cent return, eafety OF course
Answer-A high return is not obtain
able where anything approaching safe
ty of principal is desired. We do not
think you should expect more than 54
per cent on an investment unless you
are willing to assume an element Of
risk. Our suggestions for the invest
ment Of $4,000 are the following bonds
in $1,000 denominations: Kansas City
Southern IS, 1850; New Orleans &
Northwestern ANS, 1859; Missouri Pa
cifc 5s. 1865: Wheeling & Lake Erie As,
l949; Consolidation Coal IS, 1850. At
prevailing prices an average return to
maturity of about $50 is given.

Answer-Jerome Verde DEVELOPMENT
Company acquired the assets Of the
Jerome Verde Copper Company for
$4,000 in May, 1921. Holders Of the
stock of the copper company were
offered one share Of the development
company for each ten shares Of stock
held and the right to make exchange
expired October 8, 1921. We do not
understand why notice Of this change
was not received by you unless YOU
have failed to transfer certificates to
your name. Shares Of Jerome Verde
Copper are of no value. Gulf Con-
solidated Oil Is also worthless.
