Henry Wotterson Book Discussed
Money Mania and National Interest

I felt like going to bed and
reading, so I stopped by the
shelves and let my eyes roam
across them. seeking some
book which did not deal with

"Find out q nations sin
and you shall know the ma

Henry, in q searching bit of
writing in which he sought
to discover what was then
the trouble with America.
I'VE must investigate with
an enlightened. self-accus-

fear or favor" he said, and
somehow the words seemed
familiar and warm with Use.
Marse Henry winnowed
them out, but at last ex-
posed the foe Of our coun-
try. "The real danger

Damocles sword perpetually
hanging over us-is a moral
danger. and it springs direct
ly from the relation Of money
to the moral nature Of the
people"
Put money in thy purse
seems to have become a ma
tional motto" said the great
Kentuckian in 1905. "If this
limited itself to fiscal, or
even commercial, pursuits it
might not be so bad. But"
