This point of view, extreme it is, represents
wholesome reaction from the impossible ideal of turn

Even if that could be DONE would it be altogether de-

Suppose the percentage were made little more

10 20 per cent of qualities admirable in themselves

richness and variety to American life?
Surely of the last things genuinely free and

SUCCESS IN THE EAST

When Frank A Vanderlip, prominent New York
banker, speaks financial matters there few to
question the accuracy of his statements or the sound
ness of his judgments. But when he begins to make
comparisons between eastern and western college
graduates he is least letting himself in for lot of
heated argument
Mr.. Vanderlip is quoted saying; Il am a great
believer in the college in business. My experience
proves to that larger percentage of western men,
generally trained in public school and state universe
ties, succeed in New York than eastern graduates.
while most of them suffer from nferiority COM
plex when they mingle with Harvard Yale and Prince
ton graduates, that wears off because of their
strong characters
1t presents pretty question, and to which
lot of good colleges and universities in various parts
of the country will add their own "And what about

CASH PURCHASER

Henry Ford is the greatest cash buyer the world
has seen and it is doubtful if there have often been
governments which could match him in the magnitude
of their purchases for money down.
Within the past months the Detroit automobile
manufacturer has bought great coal and timber lands
water sites and locations for branch plants and
in every instance he has paid cash. and the money has
out of current earnings. The other day lie ad-
mitted that his cash balance in bank is of two
hundred million dollars.
There are few men much easier to laugh at than
Henry Ford when consider his historical ideas his
racial prejudces and of his theories in regard to
how national finances should be His failings,
like his talents, surprising. But in any event
must admit that he is not abusing his enormous power
There are not many men IN this country or In the
world who could be trusted to behave themselves with
$200000,O00 cash in the bank. =
The real test will come within the next IA months
