A picture Of the United States in
statistics-the history, resources and
all the teeming life of the nation in
almost a million figures--has just

concerning the condition Of the people

1t represents, Of course, the COM

and census takers. Figures collected
by all the departments are taken and
condensed into statistical form by the
Division of Statistical Research, Of
which f. Dana Durand is chief. Pri-

The result is literally an encyclo-

is built up (and everywhere
in the world this can be
done), then the export trade
will be natural and healthy
exchange of commodities
which one country can
spare and another needs.
The present competition in
the world markets is due
largely to the exploitation of
the people at home.
1t becomes plain. therefore, that to
confuse business with the money pow
er is to make one thing Of two, and
to unite elements which naturally OPP
pose each other. A business cannot
serve both the public and the money
power. As a matter of fact, the
money power has always lived moro
by exploiting or wrecking business
than by the service of business.
There are signs, however, that this
may be on the mend.
LIVE AND DEAD MONEY.
Money put into business as a lienJ
on its assets is dead money. When
industry operates wholly by the per
mission of dead" money, its main
purpose becomes the production of
payments for the owners of that
money. The service of the public ha:
to be secondary. If quality Of good,
pcopardizes these payments, then the
quality is cut down. If full service
cuts into the payments, then service
is cut down. This kind of money
does not serve business. 1t seeks
to make business serve it.
Money that takes no risks in an
industry. but demands its toll whether
there he profit or loss, is not live
money. 1t is not intellectually in
the business rs part of it; it is Il
dead weight, and the sooner the bust
ness * rid of it. the better. Dead
money is not working partner but
an idle charge.
Live money goes into the business
to work and to share with the busi-
ness. 1t IS there to hc used 1t
shares whatever losses there may be-.
1t is asset to the last penny, and
never a liability.
Live money in a business is usually
accompanied by the active labor Of
the man or mon who put it there.
Dead money is a sucker-plant.
OLD TRICKS HAVE FAILED.
The principle Of the service OF
business to the people has gone far
in the United States, and it Will
spread through and rcmake the world.
1t was not the war, but the seeming
impossibility of restoring conditions
as they were before the war. that gave
men the first inklinC of the lesson
they arc to learn. They would have
accepted the war as an accident or
as a mistake, had they not been made
to see that the war was but the symp-
tom of deeper malady.
The old tricks have failed. The old
wisdom has proved foolishncss. The
old motives are ineffective. II losing
a false wisdom and finding a new be-
ginning of learning is progress, then
VIC may say that the world has pro
crossed. Its old principles are dis
proved by experience. Progress is not
marked by a definite boundary across
which we step, but by an attitude and
an atmosphere. Everything false does
not vanish at a given moment, and
everything true appear.
Some men know, and many Others
feel, that business is something more
