Congress- = man John W. Langley of Kentucky was convicted in federal “court of conspiracy to withdraw liquor from bonded ware- = houses. Evidence indicated he has made a huge amount of money in the last two or three years. He has appealed his conviction, but on the record of the case before a jury in the court he stands a convicted felon.

In Oklahoma, former Governor Walton has won the He was * thoroughly discredited only a short time ago. It was a z state-wide referendum that made possible the ousting of * him from office. In Walton’s case there might be advanced : the mitigating argument that a stinging rebuke was admin- * istered to the Ku Klux Klan. This would be a laudable : rebuke, but it would have been far better for the people of Oklahoma to have chosen some other method, than to have £ given a nomination for one of the highest offices in the nation to a man who had violated every sense of public de- 2 cency in the conduct of his office. The curious reaction of the voters in these two cases + beggars explanation. Unless, perhaps, it is that the average ;*voter thinks of high governmental positions as toys within * hisigift and cares not how they are handled. DOPE . Five hundred tons of opium. That’s what the world needs in a year for medical purposes.. But the world is ; Jnaking six times as much. So 2500 tons are being used by drug addicts. To curb this traffic there’ll be an- international opium fercnee in. November. It’s generally agreed that the only y to shut off the dope supply is to stop MAKING it. Not #n esy job. Nearly half of the world’s opium is produced in India, u'r an absolute government monopoly. Interests profit- ing by the traffic will assert their power at the November mecting. The League of Nations will have one of its most crucial tests when it tackles opium at the conference. FAIRYLAND ‘ “Absolute honesty, integrity and safety are only found in Mexico City,” says Samuel M. Vauclain, president of Bald- win Locomotive Works. “Mexico City is one of the most moral, law-abiding and safe cities I have visited in the last five years. You can walk through the streets and you will find young men and even old men and boys carrying bags of silver or gold unattended. They carry their treasure with- out any guard, without armored vans.” This stumps us. The only possible explanation occurs to us is that the Mexicans may be too lazy to steal the ‘e. But you can imagine what would happen under i ances in any American city. ALCHEMY Bankers are a bit worried about the German engineer wh» is believed to have discovered how to turn quick-silver _ inte gold. His process costs over two'million dollars a pound. but it is not impossible that the cost could be reduced to a matter of cents. Gold is worth $331 a pound, quick-silver less than $1 a pound. You picture a German chemist taking tons of mer- magically turning it into gold and paying the indem- nity in a lump. This is not as “impossible” as the airplane was 50 years ago. i MURDER For armies and navies the world is now spending 2900 mi'lion dollars a year. A century at this rate will eat up abeut as much as the World War. Even three or four years of il is as much as the Allies will ever get out of Germany. Thirty feet of rope, properly applied to the necks of a few hundred politicians and bankers in Europe and Asia, would stop this mad war spending. Trouble is, their suc- sors would soon be at it again. It seems to be the unsoi- vabie problem in all generations. Its cause is in the fetish called “patriotism.” YOURS Wall Street Journal estimates that 50,000 million dollars are on deposit in American banks. That is a figure almost beyond human imagination. And yet it’s only about $450 for every man, woman and child in the United States. ‘ None of us has more than a faint conception of the size, wealth and potential powers of our country. “United States” represents something greater than the brain can grasp. De- voting a whole lifetime to travel and inspection, you’d wind up having seen only a tiny fraction of the whole. : PROFITABLE H In the 12 months ended June 30, exports from our coun- ‘try increased nearly 355 million dollars compared with the preceding 12 months. And imports similarly were reduced by’almost 224 million dollars. : $Ttal exports exceeded imports by 755 million dollars. That’s a nice snug little balance. don’t believe that imports must exceed exports if we're ever to get back the war loans we made to Europe.

A FARM HAND IN MINNESOTA On September 17, 1923, a crip- pled German, his wife and two children landed in New York. His physical disability was a stiff arm in which an Ally bullet lodged during the war. His name {9 George Ullman, and a brother long in America sent his $450 to get to the land of promise with his fam- ily. From New York they went immediately to Canby, Minn., where Ullman hired out as a farm hand. On. July 21 this immigrant farm- er, & months after Janding at Castle Garden, deposited a su- stantial ro of bills in a Canby bank. It is the custom of smail town ibankers, when a new depos- itor comes, to get acquainted with the patron and show the kindly in- terest in his affairs which counts so heavily in making friends for eny business. Ullman, who can- not yet speak English, told his story in German, and the Canby News later told it to the world. Our interest is only~‘in the economic phase of Ullman’s .10 months in America. We quote: »< So when brother sent us $450 for our expenses and passage we left Emden, East Friesland, Germany, early in September, 1923. and landed in this paradise of the world at New York September 17. Me and the wife and only 4%- year-old boy and 3-year-old girl, came right out to Canby and I hired out as a farm ‘hand right away. I shelled corn, husked corn and did town- ship work—I just worked and saved my money. But here is what I've already done. Out of my wages as a farm hand in less than 10 months I have lived and kept my family, saved enough to pay, off the $450 which I borrowed ‘from broth- er to come over here on, I ‘own 2 good cows, 2 calves, 7 hogs and 200 chickens, a fine garden where we get most of the things we eat and $100 in cash that I just put in your bank. I have rented 160 acres of land in Fortier township and start farming for myself March 1, 1925 A plain, unvarnished tale this, full of human intérest and highly instructive. A crippled man, un- able to speak English, provides for a family of four and accumulates cows, hogs, and chickens plus $550 in.cash,ijm.J0 (six of them winter) months on a farm hand's wages. How did he do it: He tellg us. “I just worked and saved my money.” There in seven words is the secret. He worked and saved. He was not going to town three days a week to swap gossip. His family were not regular attendants on the movies. But he gave them plenty to eat, warm clothing and“comfort- able shelter. ‘Next spring he begins the man- agement of a leased farm. In a few years he will own a farm. By the time his children are old enough the will be able to give them a college education if they want it; he will have an automo- ile and other conveniences, his family will be “enjoying life,” and he will always have a fat bank ‘balance in addition. Those are thiifigs which inevitably happen to industrious workers and habitual savers. Tens of thousands of Ger- man immigrant families have been showing it all over the country for 80 years. It is a great lesson for the fuuk-finder, whether he {s on the farm or in the town. If he will “just work and save his money” he is as certain to prosper as the sun fg to rise in the morning. — j Chicago Journal of Commerce. A QUIET SUMMER Newspaper telegraph editors are finding these anything but the dull dog days of midsummer. In Brazil a military and Fascist re- volution is in progress against the Bernardes government. In Ireland the Free State officials have set De Valera free, and promise to do the same for the other Repub- lican prisoners. An American vice consul has been murdered by a mob in Persia. In addition to their long-standing quarrel over Germany, Great Britain and France are at loggerheads again because of the League of Nations lim- itation of armaments treaty which the British government has rejected largely because France amended the original Lord Robert Cecil scheme by adding to it unlimited alliance. In the Far East, Russia has out- maneuvered the other powers by sign- ing a treaty with China far more rea- sonable and fair than that country is likely to get from any of the more conservative nations, Russia sur- renders all special, privileges in China, abandons extra-territoriality for her subjects, consents to Chinese operation of the Chinese Eastern railway, cancels her shar® of the Boxer indemnity and repudiates all treaties with other powers affecting Chinese interests.

He loves to lie in the sun and do nothing.” “I don’t suppose we'll have a very good time then,” said Nick, who liked to be doing things. “Oh, you never can tell,” said}. Weeny, trotting along in high good humor. “Does Crinkle Crocodile live here?” he asked of a big pink bird standing in some water. The big pink bird, with a sort of loop-the- loop neck and a shoe-buttoner for a bill, stood on one leg and then on the other leg and looked them all over. “I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know him even. What does he look like?” “He’s pointed at both ends, and as flat as a mattress, and he has teeth at one of his ends,” said Weeny. “And he has eyeballs as big as teacups and they stick out of his head.” “Oh, hum!” said the pink bird, straightening out his loop-the-loop neck. “Is he marked all over in squares like a pan of fudge?” “That's the very person!” Weeny quickly, “Well, I don’t know where he lives,” said the pink bird, walking to the other end of the rock he was standing on. “What do you want to know for?” ¢ “We've come to spend our vaca- tion with him,” said Weeny. “These are my friends, Nancy and Nick, Mister—Mister—” ‘Mister Flamingo,” bird. . But just as he spoke Mister Fla- mingo suddenly disappeared from view. For a very good reason. The rock he stood on had completely dis- appeared, too. Then he appeared again water, but nearly drowned. squawking and ed the shore. “Ha, ha, hat” cried a voice. “I knew that would happen. I’ve been waiting for it for half an hour.” And looking around, Nancy and Nick saw a stork. “Well,* what’s so funny?” asked Weeny kind of cross like, because he didn’t understand what the joke was. “That silly flamingo doesn’t know anything but fish,” laughed the stork. “No wonder he got a good dousing! He was standing right on said finished the above And splashing he reach- Crinkle Crocodile’s back and never| knew it!” “My goodness!” cried Weeny anxiously. “Do you s’pose Crinkle heard what we said about him?” 8, sir, I heard every word,” said Crinkle, suddenly boobing up to the top of the water again. “And thank you ever so much.’ I never knew I was so ‘good looking. I told ma you were here and she’s coming to ask you to stay a.week. Here she is now.” Just then Mrs. Crocodile appeared, smiling from ear to ear—or where her ears should have been. have come to be most But her’ eye suddenly - beheld i |.

This very often is a better ally than knowledge of economics, : Cutten talks a bit broadly when he says that. speculation is the very highest form of intellectual endeavor -in business. In the first place, the speculator doesn’t ever know nearly as much about his commodity as the average big purchasing agent or sales manager handling the same commodity. These two HAVE to know, because they can’t take chances.. They deal with sure things. The “very highest form of intellectual endeavor in busi- ness” is not found: in speculation.: It is found in production and in salesmanship, which rank with the higher sciences. The sales organization of a business like National Cash Register Co., for instance, utilizes more “intellectual en- deavor,” psychology and knowledge of economic conditions in a day than: are used in a year by all the stock market and grain pit speculators combined. Probably. the. final word in “intellectual endeavor in busi- ness” is the research department of scientic’ corporations like General Electric Co.
