Lottery Salesman

Seems that a Jewish lottery
salesman persistently annoyed
Morgan by trying to sell him a
chance in a huge lottery. The
price of the chance amounted
to something like $3.50 in our
money. And no matter where
Morgan went, the salesman was
right on the job.
"'Good-mornink, Mr.. Morgan,
he would smile. I'm here vunce
more to see if you hevv changed
your mind. Buy a ticket, pl1zz.'
"Whereupon the elder Morgan
would grow excited.
"rBut I am busy man-ar1d
a rich one he would thunder.
why do you annoy me with
such trivial matterS?'
1.-The response would be very
soft.
Trivial to you-but it's
minnink a lot to me, Mr.. Nor
gan. Since de money minnS
nottink to you, Wy not take a
chence? Just vun ticket, plizz.'
I'm the end, weary of the
mans persistence, Morgan
bought a ticket in order to get
rid of him. And several weeks
later, exactly as you might have
expected, Morgan won the grand
prize. The salesman rushed
over with the great news.
"'Mr. Morgan he cried ex-
citedly, did you heard abott
your luck? You hevv vun
100000! Harr you luckeh!'
"The multi-millionaire, amused
at the salesman's outburSt,
smiled jovially at him.
"'I think he said. that since
I've been so fortunate I'll share
some of my luck with you.
Which would you prefer
$4,000 in cash or $4,000 a year
for the rest of your life?'
THE salesman didn't hesi-
tate.
Better give me the $4,000
in cash. he replied earnestly.
With your luck I wouldn't live
annuder six months?'"

something" says Marlowe Will

Silver Is On Its Way

President Roosevelt has clear ly indicated that his step to- ward restoring silver to its money rights is merely a first step. The second step, he in- dicates, will depend on the re- suits of the world agreement worked out by Senator Pittman at the London Conference.
 A first step is better than mo step at all. But those who have studied the monetary sit uation for the past dozen years insist that worldwide stability cannot be restored until silver is remonetized at approximate ly it's old ratio of 16-to-1.
 The Presidents references to silver indicate that he is aware of its historical position and sympathetic with the 1,400,- 000,000 "poor" people who will benefit by its complete remonetization.
 He may not be moving as rapidly as many of us might wish, but at least he is doing more than any predecessor has done to wipe out the "crime of '73."
 He deserves confidence and support.-Mining Truth

What Next

Having reduced the value of the dollar as measured in terms of gold to 59.06 cents, the re- cult will be waited with more than average intesest both at home and abroad.
 So far the results, both of the dollar devaluation and the in- crease of the price of gold to S35 per ounce have not been highly satisfactory to the gov ernment, according to Wash ington reports.
 Indeed, Washington is frank ly disappointed with the world reaction to the new 59 cent dol lar and it is plain to be seen from financial comment that no one is quite sure just what will develop.
 Prospects of a gigantic war with Europe for control of the worlds foreign exchange loom as result of President Roose- velt's effort to bring the dollar inuo line with commodity price levels and no one appears to know just what will be the ef- fects of such an eventuality. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau has already indi- cated that a currency war be- tween United States and Brit ain would be costly" to both countries, and it has been prophesied by those supposed to know, that the two billion dollar fund created by Cong ress a few days ago for use in stabilizing the value of the dol lar abroad will be entirely in adequate if England, finding that MT. Roosevelt's policies clash with her own interests, yields her three-fourths billion equalization fund in an effort to control foreign exchange.
 It all goes to show that even the wisest of the financial ex- perts are far from possessing a clear understanding of the money question.
 There is an old saying that when the doctors disagree the patient dies, and we sincerely hope that with the financial doctors plainly groping for remedies the same fate will not overtake the worlds sick finan- cial system.
