The Napoleons of Business

Much used to be said about the Ma polcons of finance" Successful operators in the financial world were compared with the immortal Napoleon Bonaparte, who marched his armies all over Europe. and to whom kings and emperors and plebeians all bowed down. His rule was absolute for time. but it finally collapsed by its own weight. In the homey old phrase, he bit of more than he could chew.
 It frequently works that way with the Napoleons of the business and financial world. Some men have kind of brilliant audacity that wins marvellous results for time at least, If they have the sense to quit with their winnings they may spend the rest of their lives as men of wealth But ordinar- fly the game is too fascinating for that. They like to keep on making more Napo- leonie strokes. Then some day they reach little too far they get in over their depth, and the business sea closes over their heads
 These Napoeonic strokes usually involve considerable risks If business is good and the times favorable, the ventures thus made may prove highly successful. But there are so many unexpected turns in business. so huSH SohPSthioh aPPealo AiShi uhNAPsN'SN quarters. that those who take risky chances are apt to lose.
 The business world is not looking for Napoleonic strokes just now. It does not care SO much for sudden expansion as it does for sure progress and steady growth. The men who see brilliant chances ahead. pro- vided large amounts of capital are risked on untried ventures. are not so popular as they were. People would rather have those who will work along the paths that experience has shown to be useful. and who seek to go ahead by gradual progress rather than by swift and dashing strokes. If experiments have to be made, people prefer to make them on small scale where the loss will not be too heavy before trying big hazards. In short, what is wanted is steady operation regular employment. and sure returns

 Washington.-This political sea son already Is so marked with in- ternal disagreement in the republi- can and democratic parties that you wonder what kind of show we will be seeing after congress and the presidential nomination campaigns really get going.
 Not so long ago 1t was fashion able and not inaccurate to hoot al the democrats as the people who were forever quarreling among themselves. The republicans snug with success, lived content on the fruits of victory and were seldom tempted to bite into the apple of discord.
 Now the leaders of both par ties fight among themselves. The democrats are the same old party and have most of the same old rows. although they show an in- creased tendency to harmonize The republicans, on the other hand, appear to have lost much of their old-time tolerance toward one another in proportion to the mischances that have befallen them and the darkening which they see in the clouds ahead. The division between the admin istration and the republican sen ate progressives is old stuff, of course, hut now the house progress I'sives are also asserting themselves. And at this writing the relations between the White House and many of the old line politicians in congress appear to be slightly less cordial than ever. The fact that such E. O. D. regulars as Sen ator Hale of Maine and Congress man Britten of Illinois are gettins

The Governor-Senator

From revelations regarding the uncon- ventiona public life of Governor Huey Long of Louisiana, it appears that he does his most effective gubctnatorial work in bed His state bedroom is filled with secretaries, stenographers. officials and callers. The governor. reclining luxuriously in his gay pajamas, goes right ahead with his work as if he were seated at his desk in the capitol. and doesn't get up till noon.
 Such procedure is unusual in America. But from the volume of work that Governor Huey gets done. it can't be called entirely decadent. And as matter of fact, other public men of unusual energy have done the same sort of thing. Lord Northcliffc. the great British publisher. frequently spent whole days in bed surrounded by battalion of secretaries and other employees
 This idosyncrasy suggests a possible so- lution of a problem with which Governor Long and his state are now struggling. He has been elected to the United States Senate, but for political reasons is unwilling to drop his present job. Why not fill both jobs' He can do all his governing in the morning before getting up. then take an airplane to Washington and do his senatoring in the late afternoon and night, the way senators always do

POSTMASTER URGES CHRISTMAS CARDS
 BE MAILED EARLY

To the Editor of the Democrat:
 One of our biggest problems in handling the Christmas mails is to get the people to mail their Christ mas greeting cards early. During the past several years the mailing of parcels has started a little ear Her each season, or so 1t has seemed to us, indicating that the mail-it-early publicity has brought some results, but the mailers still persist in holding the cards back until almost the last day-and some of them until almost the last minute. One reason for this Is our old friend, Procrastination--too busy with other duties to get the cards ready for mailing. Another reason Is, as I have heard 1t ex- plained many times, We don't want the cards delivered until just before Christmas. We can send our parcels out ahead of time, feeling sure they won't be opened until Christmas, but not so with the cards. Many people open the en- velopes containing cards as soon as they get them, and for that reason we don't like to mail the cards too far in advance."- And because of this, some people wait entirely too long and delay putting their cards in the mails until 1t is too late to deliver them before Christmas.
 The post office offers this solution of the problem. Those who have considerable quantities of cards to send out are invited to bring them to the post office just as soon as they are ready-the sooner the bet ter, for us. These cards should be in boxes or securely tied in bundles and they should be plainly marked "Outgoing Christmas Cards", and the date on which dispatch is de- sired should also be plainly writ ten or printed. Presented at our windows, such cards will be held at

than the city woman and is better able to help him succeed in it.
 Both women emphasize the change in liv- ing conditions on farms. pointing out that the automobile and good roads. the radio and the national magazines have made the. farm home as up-to-date as the city home. Divorce court figures. they say. bear them out in their contention. The percentage of divorces in rural districts is much lower than that of the cities.
 Farmers have their troubles, as everyone who follows the news must know. Plenty of individuals and families in recent years have left farms and moved to cities because they .wearied of farm life and thought they could make better livings ih industrial cen ters. It is good occasionally to hear from some of those who stay on the farm be- cause they have learned how to succeed there and because they like its independence.

Football that is college football has be- come front page news this fall In other years it remained where it belonged, on the sports pages Of course the increased num- Der of fatalities due to injuries received on the gridiron focused considerably more at tention on the game. And charity contests also served to make college clashes something more than mere game. Speaking of the round robin held at the Yale Bowl week ago Saturday the Yale News said; The round robin too much resembed medieval tournament or gladiatorial exhibition in the Coliseum to justify any substitution of it for the regular type of game. Like these contests of ancient time, it had several fea- lures which showed it was played for the audience and not for the team, its purpose was avowedly financial, like a professional baseball team. .. We surely hope that the News doesn't labor under the impression that any college football team performs to- day for glory or for dear old Alma Mater. Maybe the players themselves are strictly amateurs. but not those indulging in college football And with the Yale Athletic Association charging $5 for Yale-Prinoeton tickets everyone might as well admit that the colleges as a corporate entity engage in foot ball because it is a profitable sport that en- ables that particular institution to engage in a complete sports calendar throughout the scholastic year. Why shouldn't college foot ball be played for the spectator. since he IS the main support of the gamer And again we say. why!

Faith In Real Estate

It is an old story that the land In the present limits of Chicago has risen, in 100 years, from value of $l l60 900 to $5,OO0,- OOOOO0. Such astronomical figures are taken for granted in our big cities and, as modest parallels, in our smaller cities. Sta tistical valuations are not necessarily oonsol- ing in a time like this What is of actual. present interest and importance in such mat ters is statement like that of Professor Homer Hoyt. economist. who has been studying the history of Chicago real estate. that during this century of progress, after every depression the city's land values have reached higher peak than ever before.
 This may not be true of every city or section in America but it is the literal truth in the great majority of cases. And the fact emphasizes again the essential merit of land in time of shaken faith in this form of n- vestment There is no reason to revise the long standing estimate of improved real estate as the safest form of investment in the world. Despite occasional fits of wild spec ulation. it's growth is usually solid and steady compared with other forms of property.
 It has weathered this depression far bet ter than stocks It does not fluctuate from day to day or week to week like negotiable securities. It is always visible. durable. tan gible usable. In its very "slowness' IS a basic merit. It may freeze in an economic blizzard. but it never evaporates. Don't lose faith in real estate
