Finland was regarded by the drys

nothing noble about it, has gone back
to the ways of older times, back to
the ways of the long ages of man.

Finland, after much experiment
has ditched prohibition. The Finnish
people are not emotional; they are
not visionary; they search and prove,

VANDERBILT SEES MILLIONS
AHEAD

Frank A. Vanderlip, international
banker, in an interview with the New
York Evening Post, declared the end
of the present business depression
will leave US with the greatest op-
portunities for the making of money
that there have ever been in America
Mr.. Vanderlip was formerly presi-
dent of the National City Bank and
now is member of the firm of Baker.
Weeks and Harden, and a director
in a number of corporations.
AS a member of the international
bankers group Mr.. Vanderlip partici-
pated in the scheme to unload on
investors in the United States hum
dreds of millions of dollars of Euro
pean and Latin-American securities of
questionable value. Over $3.50 900 900
of this foreign junk are now in de-
fault and relatively worthless.
Many of the investors were wage
and salary earners who practiced
thrift and put their savings into the
securities recommended by vanderlip
and his associates.
The international bankers, it should
be pointed out, lose nothing in these
defaults. They sold the bonds to in
vestors on a commission basis, and
pocketed their millions in profits as
soon as they succeeded in unloading
the bonds on their fellow citizens.

Flowers Prominent in
Every Age of Mankind

The love Of flowers seems to be an
innate thing, mysterious power that
has always had 4 part in the affairs
Of men. The Greeks were fond Of
flowers. especially those having
pleasant perfume. They used them In
all kinds Of decorations and In their
religious ceremonies. The Greeks and
Romans both loved roses and used
them extensively. and Cleopatra was
most extravagant In her use Of roses,
spending huge sums Of money for
them. OF all peoples 1t IL said the
Hindu has the S1ost sincere love for
flowers. having as well mystic under
standing Of flower life. He visits his
garden with reverence, talks to the
flowers, and wsavss fanciful stories
around them.
Long, long before the Christian era
poets sung the praises of flowers, the
rose always occupying q prominent
place In the ceremony. Dedication to
the gods was one Of the many honors
heaped upon this popular queen of
the garden.

OF the movement, and which is an
annual custom in Hamilton, more
than 5000 persons enjoyed hearty
Christmas dinner because of the gen
erous response of Hamilton's citizens
to the pleas for help made by the
committee in charge. approximately

kind-hearted people that others less
fortunate might, too, enjoy little

those who by their generous gifts

Gov. Hunt Asks Citizens
To Employ Arizona's Idle


Phoenix, Ariz.-Governor Geo. w.
p Hunt urged citizens of Arizona
to inaugurate and push forward all
kinds of building improvements to re-
lieve the unemployment situation. He
emphasized the low cost of building
materials as an element to encourage
the work.
BY carrying on such improvements
at this time," Governor Hun said,
'you will not only secure these nee
essary improvements at smaller
outlay, but by employing idle labor
you will help to promote business
through other channels, and will
serve as an agent in helping to i'm
prove the financial condition through
out the state"

an opportunity to earn an honest liv-

A CUSHION FOR USE

1t is discovered that hitherto pub
lie building programs have doomed in
boom times and sagged in sag times.
The Federal Sterilization Board
makes this discovery, which is in line
with observation.
The moral is that public building
should be controlled and should be
done at such time as to serve to
cushion private employment-to take
up the slack.
The use of public construction as
an instrument for the regulation of
economic progress is a relatively new
idea, but one that has made great
progress.
Having now the facts in full there
should be no further delay. Knowing
the right thing to do, those who dc
wrong either are fools or something
more malodorous.

Instead of crying for leadership,
which the pessimists who sit in the

would not recognize even though the

AND NOW For 1892

Having wished the pessimists a
happy new year, it may be in order
to remind them:
That in 1889 nearly every bank in
the country outside New England
was bankrupt, that the savings of
years vanished, that some thought the
world had come to an end and that
we were nation without future; and
yet the United States lived to prosper
as it never had prospered before.
That in 1873, when the population
was 38,000,000, there were nearly
100000 unemployed, practically all
men, for few families then had women
as we'll as men earning the livelihood,
with 80 railroads in receivership and
800 of 307 steel plants shut down:
and yet the prosperity that came
later surpassed anything the world
ever before had known.
To hear some of the calamity
howlers, one might think that this
country never had experienced any
thing but good times. The truth is,
of course, that the United States cut
its teeth on hard times. If we are
softer than in the days of Valley
Forge, at least we are not so soft
as not to know and to dare to know
in the face of every unfavorable

Purebred animals are horses, cattle,
sheep, or other domesticated animals
whose ancestry are known, whose par
ents and grandparents have been reg

the name Of q distinct breed Of light
horses which have been bred for many
centuries for their speed and stamina,
having come originally from the union
Of the Arabian, and Turkish horses
with the English type Of horse. There
cannot therefore be any such thing as

The Cherry
" Where With e1r
We tell the truth
about many things. Sometimes pre-
feundly. sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ..........

Congress has been in session for
some weeks.
Some folks expected lot of states
manship on the mountainous economic
issues of the day.
Today, try and find it.
If two congressman agree on an
economic problem, that is something
to put on the front page.
Even if one congressman agrees on
something, it is news.
That is how far we are from any
general agreement on any one great
issue, or on any real program for ac-
tion such as congress, in its limited
field, might properly take.
Yet congress is indispensable. It is
the voice of democracy, such as we
have, and it has about as much unity
as may be found in the state of mind
at large.
The general state of mind is in
stew. The one unity is to be found
in the trade union movement.
The one remedy for unemployment
is offered by the trade union move
ment.
There must be relation between
production and use.
But, gentlemen, the whole theory of
financiers and employers, ever since
the first Puritan trader set up shop
in New England, has been to buy
cheap and sell dear, to get "all the
traffic will BEAR" to pay wages as
low as possible, and to charge the
best possible prices.
Every fellow has had as he started
in business, mental picture of big
mansion on the hill as the reward for
his thrift and his ability to legally
skin his fellow men.
Out of that business came big auto
Gratis, and these labor knows must be
curbed by the gentle, though effective
ways or democracy.
If congress is in a muddle as to
issues economic there is no mystery
as to why.
Congress displayed its greatest
craftsmanship when issues were more
political than industrial-When no1i.
tics meant power.
AS power gravitated more and more
to industry and finance, political au-
thorities lost some of their functions
They lost some of their contact with
vital things. Out of their natural ele-
ment, naturally they founder.
Congress still has great domain
and there it pretty generally follows
the known wishes Of the people.
The trouble is in the field where po-
litical authority no longer is com.
petent and in which we have thus fan
not built any corresponding authority
| All, there's the rub!
There are those who attack con
gress as a nincompoop. They arr
wrong. With some of them the mo-
tive is bad. They want autocracy.
Congress is the vital expression o1
peoples will and policy in def
mite field.
Take it out of that field and it lose.
its tone of authority because it does
MT know what it is talking about.
That is the fault of the people, no
of congressman, though we shall al
ways have fool congressman an,
sometimes we shall have crooked con
gressmen.
The present congress has it's quot:
of fool congressman, again not tn,
fault of congress as an institution
but a reflection upon muddled stat,
of mind on the part of the ubiquitou.
