devoid of capital" tho it has much
wealth, and has been producing wealth

America has always had capital. even
when IL had little wealth. Wealth and
capital are not necessarily synonymous.
Capital is wealth invested productivity.
America has always re-inyested its saw
ings, Mexico has exported the products
of its mines, sometimes TO conqustadores,
military or financial, who made no re-
turn, and sometimes TO traders in eX-
change for Injuries, for art, for church
monuments and other economically un-
productive purposes.
The result is that America has capital
to operate in a capitalistic civilization.
while Mexico with wealth for one sort of
civilization, lacks capital for the other,

What Would You Do2

1t depends on the race and the civiliza-
ton that have produced his ideals.
An Indian maharajah, "fabulously
rich" by reason Of the S5,0O0.O00 yearly
income extorted from his peasants, vis-
tied London, took a whole floor at the.
Savoy for his harem and attendants. hired
a fleet of limousines, and desported him
self in plum-colored turbans and pearl
necklaces.
That, to him, seemed the natural thing
TO do, for man who could do as he
pleased.
Suppose John b. Rockefeller, Jr., who
pays more income tax than the whole rev.
enues of the Indian prince were to begin
performing in such fashion Which
would we do first-lock him up Afor
lunatic or start revolution TO confiscate
his fortune? No need to answer. because
the thing is unthinkable. Our civilza-
ton does not produce that kind of people.

HIS Secret Troubles

MIR. NJ. p. FITZGERALD tells the big
1N1 photographers convention, ut San
Francisco. some of the secret troubles of
the business, which are hereby disclosed
TO the public to arouse sympathy for
noble art
When Photographer Fitzgerald or any
other. tells sitter to smile. he gets an
expression that would melt frozen honey,
but that makes sitter's wife exclalm.
You look like perfect fool" if she sees
it, On the other hand, sitter is some
times so grouchy that the photographer
has to trip on his own foot, swallow his
necktie or do some other Chaplin stunt, to
make said sitter register something pleas
anter than murder, arson, income tax pay
ment and so forth
Then, very often. it is the young
couples first baby doing the sitting, when
it isn't doing the squirming and bally-
hooing. Time was when the photographer
tapped the muzzle of his camera and adj
vised baby to Watch the little birdie
come outw Not for the 1925 A. d. baby,
You couldn't quiet it with turkey buzz
lard perched on the camera. Nay, but
papa must stand on his head, mama must
COO something jazzy and photographer
must dance Charleston with his camera
to catch the dear child at ALL and then
perjure himself with It's the finest photo
of an infant I've ever taken"
Multitudinous are the photographers
secret troubles, and alas competition of
the kodak is so fierce that he cannot
often charge extra for his extra trouble.

nounces that, promptly upon her election,
she will put thru the Texas legislature a
