Out of the Dark.

The girl who loves romance was
walking along country road with
rather dignifed gentleman. He was
telling her about the different people
who lived in the scattered houses. The
dusk was creeping on, and to the girls
delight blinking lights appeared in an
occasional window. She loves to catch
glimpses of life as she goes along, but
the dignified gentleman said it was
bad form to look in at lighted win
dows. The girl replied that unshaded
windows invited the passerby to look
in. At last they came toward the
house of mystery A light shone forth
from a window, and as they ap-
preached the girl said: "Look, there's
woman in the room !" The dignifed
gentleman ignored her invitation.
There's a man coming into the
room!" she exclaimed as they walked
past the house. "You shouldn't look
in,' said the dignified gentleman Sc
verely. She gave a backward glance.
"He's kissing her." she triumphantly
declared as the dignified gentleman
seized her arm and dragged her re

The MONKEY Who
TURNED CAPITALIST
The Others Took to Socialism
and That Is How the
Fight Began.
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

BY JOHN OAkWOOD
Just because people hear the term
''high finance" so much, they get the
idea that the whole subject Of finance
is over their heads. AS matter OF
fact, it is right on level with their
ead-baskets 1t has more to DO
with every day grub than anything
else.
Finance has been described as the
art of applying money to practical
ends. A man is a capitalist when he
accumulates enough money, either out
of his own savings or by borrowing
at interest the savings Of others, to
buy farm or build factory, and
begins manufacturing food or some
thing else he can sell to others at
a profit. That's finance. 1t sounds
simple. But heard story about
monkey the other day that made
1t even simpler.
Far be 1t from me to make mon
key of a capitalist-but this was
very wise monk. He lived in zoo
with a dozen various other kinds OF
monkeys. Their food was usually
thrown in ready to eat and each took
his share. But one day the keeper
threw in some black walnuts, hard
as rocks. All the monkeys vainly
split their teeth on them and they
would have starved as far as the
results of their labors went. But one
OF their number, who was OF more
intelligent species than the rest, did
some thinking. Then he accumulat-
ed couple Of rocks he found in the
cage and cracked the nuts between
them. He started food factory. HE
WAS A CAPITALIST. He had prop
erty that increased his ability to pro-
duce food-that added to his economic
power.
But trouble began. The other mon
keys grabbed the kernels and ate
them up as fast as he knocked them
out OF their shells. THEY WE'RE
SOCIALISTS. There were other
stones and they could have cracked
their own walnuts, but they believed
in dividing up share and share alike
what the Capitalist produced. The
Capitalist monkey got so mad that
he did the same thing to their heads
as he did to the nuts. He cracked
them. The zoo keepers had to put
the wise monkey in cage by him.
self to prevent useless slaughter.
Human society handles situation
like this better There are those who
don't want to work-there are those
who have not the capacity to organ
ize enterprise-there are those who
want more than the share they earn
there are those also who want an
equal division of wealth, and now
and then there is a rumpus about it
an outlaw strike or evolution or some
thing. But as a general thing, the
present social order fully protects the
farmer and the manufacturer and 9TH
er capitalists In their property rights
and enables them to receive their
just pay for what they produce. 1t
also provides reliable money sys
tenn as a medium by which fair ex
changes Of different products and
services can be made, and later on
will tell you story about that.

FranS's r'' o'sson "ain't SOS" of
common belief are:
The view that a high tariff assures
any real protection to American pro-
duction;
The theory that highly restricted
immigration is of benefit to American
labor;
The impression that the Federal
Reserve Board was responsible for
the deflation in commodity prices in
1920 and 1921:
The idea that the United States can
maintain an isolated position in world
affairs;
The notion that railroad stocks are
watered;
The illusion that Wall Street die
tates money or credit conditions;
The fancy that the interest Of any
class or section can be permanently
furthered at the expense of the gen.
eral interest;
The phantasy that fiat currency can
add to the wealth of the nation:
The delusion that capitalism is re-
sponsible for economic and social Ills.
These beliefs have been propagated
by catch phrases, not by proof Some
of them serve narrow, selfish inter
ests. Others give psychological dis
content something to blame for trou-
bles imaginary or rising from other
causes. None of them help the solu-
ton OF public problems. Until their
distorting influence is eradicated
from public opinion they will confuse
the real issues and make for economic
unsettlement.
