Watching the Parade
BY John Pilgrim.

This morning | walked around to
SEE Hank Devines new store. He had
sent me a personally written invita-
tion-not a form letter-and / thought
/ ought to do it. But | did not ex-
pect to find myself in the midst of a
sort of a reception.
Just came around to wish Old Hank
luck" every one said to Severy one
else.
One stirred in another thought:
Hes a lucky euss," said he.
/ thought so myself at the moment,
but as ] mulled it over l changed my
mind. Hank is not lucky. Whatever
he has he has won by years of hard
work and coed nature and willingness
to oblige and attention to business.
He has none OF the tricks of good
salesman. He never seems to try to
sell you something-anything-on the
theory that no guilty customer should
escape. Hanks JOB seems to be to sell
you the precise thing you want. II
he hasn't got it in stock he will tell
you who has.
Five years ag0-iust a measly~ little
five years ago-Hank was a raw clerk.
But he took an interest in his bust
ness ana III his CUSIDWtTS. ne snONCu
goods indefatigably. When you said
goOd-by without buying Hank did not
send you away feeling that you had
wasted the time of an important man.
Sometimes he knocked his own goods.
II wouldn't buy that if were you.'
he has said to me more than once.
"You will not like it. You need some
thing quite different"
i do not suppose that Hank had
saved very much money. but he had
capital that can be cashed in anywhere,
in the friendship and trust of his eli
entele. He did not do anything that
any other clerk in town could not have
done. There was no secret in his meth
DDS. He was good natured, obliging.
courteous and honest. He kept the
friends he made.
That is why Jonas X. Hardshell. our
most indurated banker, offered to back
him in a little store. / tried to get
piece of the stock. but j. n. would
not do it. He said that if Hank kept
his health that stock would be worth
800 in five years. I told the story.
and one man said that Hank is lucky
cuSs.
But that isn't luck. That sort of
success is won.

BUSINESS MAN NEEDED

Senator Reed of Pennsylvania spoke
some weighty words when he recently
declared to the United States Senate that,
although the people Of the United States
might not exactly approve of the in
vasion of the Ruhr. district by France, it
was necessary that this country should
not allow itself to be misled by maudlin
sentiment in favor of Germany. In this
he is entirely correct
In the first place. the war was begun
by Germany and the guilt is hers. So
far as France is concerned the respon-
sibility of the war is certainly upon Ger
many. France did absolutely nothing to
provoke the conflict and she suffered I'M
measurably because of it. All those things
are matters of history.
Coming down to the common sense OF
the matter. it must not be forgotten that
at the time of signing the armistice and
at the time of the treaty of peace Ger
many put her name TO certain articles Of
agreement and those articles OF agreement
she has not kept Moreover, there is room
for doubt that she intends to keep them.
She has even gone to the length of de-
claring that, because of the invasion of the
Ruhr region she considers the treaty of
peace null and void so far as France is
concerned.
Such talk is nonsense. The treaty car
not be void in respect to one nation that
signed it without being void to all ma
tons that signed it. Neither can it be
violated in any one part without being
violated as a whole There can be only
HAsaGtions in the world so far as a
md war is concerned. There

any two nations. If there is no treaty
of peace between France and Germany
there is state of war and IL the treaty
tainly binds no other nation and the
Allies are entitled under the German dec
laration to resume their war against Ger
many il they wish to take advantage OF
the German declaration that the treaty
of peace does rot exist.
The idea of the Allies waging war
against Germany is however absurd. No
body in the world wants war unless per-
haps it may be somebody in the new
Turkish government There is not the
slightest probability that anybody will
attack Germany unless she provokes
France beyond the limit of endurance.
And even if Germany goes to that length,
all the other nations of the world will
do their utmost to prevent an armed con-
flct
1t must not be forgotten. however, that
France is asking nothing that she is not
entitled to demand under the contract
She is not asking for anything that Ger
many has not agreed that France should
ask and receive.
There is no doubt that the treaty of
Versailles was bungling job and that
it should even now be revised. Neither
is there any doubt that Germany, in the
strictly economic sense, has not been
fairly treated even though she is de-
fauting debtor. She has the right to
know what is expected of her and the
Allied nations have never presented her
with specific bill of the particulars of
her indebtedness. The, Allied nations have
been acting toward Germany very much
as loan shark behaves toward one of
his victims. So long as she has no def
mite proposition as to how much she
owes, she has no guarantee that. no mat
ter how much she pays, she will not be
presented an interest account that, like the
account of the loan shark, will show that
the more she pays the more she continues
to owe.
There is little likelihood that the Allied
nations will treat Germany in any such
wav but they should accord to her proper
business treatment They should tell her
just what she owes, arrange some terms
of payment and then do their best to col

but there are certain fundamental rules
that apply to the collection of billion
dollars that also cover an indebtedness
amounting to a single dollar.
What is needed over there is some
hard-hcadcd Business man who will put
things upon definite basis as agreeable
to both creditor and debtor as can pos
sibly be arranged and then, if default oc-
Ours, let the debtor collect as he can and
as he must.
Germany is not entitled to any i'll

business-like treatment and it will greatly
lessen the present difficulties OF the world
if this is given to her.

Island City are to have confer
ence this week as to the best
method Of obtaining protection for

covered their losses through insur-
ance.
Joint use Of an armored auto
mobile, in which to make the
rounds of the banks on pay days
has been discussed. Plans are un-
der consideration for closer CO.
operation with the police in an eff.

Another Victim of Speculation.

Governor McCray, of Indiana, indicted on
CHARGES of ENLIGHTENMENT, forgery, larceny
and obtaining money under false pretenseS'
apparently is not worried by the action OF the
Grand Jury or apprehensive as to the out
come of his trial This impression no doubt
is due to the fact that the governor has had
time to prepare for the ordeal. He saw the
trouble coming weeks ago. and has been able
to face his accusers calmly, even II ne cannot
minimize the seriousness OF his dilemma.
It would not be fair to try Governor Nc
GRAY outside a court room. He is to nave
his opportunity to offer evidence Ill his de-
tense and to show, if possible, that his imam
ciaI maneuvers were within the law, as he
has claimed. He has not yet admitted that
ANYTHING was done in violation OF the laws
of the states in which he put through various
transactions that brought about the lndict-
mcnt That he will fight to save himself from
conviction is assured Governor McCray IN
sists he is innocent, but the public IS won
dering how, in the face OF the great mass OF
evidence against him, he is going to prove
that innocence.
Governor McCray has been specializing IN
land and cattle He needed money Tor his
operations as buyer. He raised 1t IN many
WAYS and at various places. He did most OF
his business through banks and on paper
Notes were signed and money was advanced.
According to the charges, a great many OF
these transactions were irregular and illegal
Gov. McCray must have known at the time
whether his operations would stand the light
Of day. Bankers who have furnished the prln-
cipal testimony against him have no hest
fancy in declaring some OF his acts to have
been direct violations of the law The test
will come at the trial.
If Governor McCray should be convicted
it would mean the end of his political career
That is a foregone conclusion. And it would
illustrate the peril to be found in undertake
ing too much on too little. Legal or illegal,
Governor McCray's investments required
more money than his resources represented.
That is where he made a mistake If he did
not violate the law. Any road lett to HIM
now is ruinous Convicted, he would pay a
penalty; II acquitted he still would be ruined
Speculation frequently gets the better OF the
s+r0nqest most promising men,
