CURTIS ft r and talent
There are just as many opportuni
ties now as there ever were for the
right man to achieve independence
by the use of his own talents and not
much else. Of course, he must have
the talents and the will to use them.
That is what T think of in thinking
of my old friend, Cyrus H. K. Cur
tis, who died the other day at 83. He
started his business career with three
cents, which he ran up to nine cents
the first day, buying and selling
newspapers in his native Portland,
Maine. He died leaving an estate of
many millions, owner of the Satur
day Evening Post, Ladies’ Home
Journal and three daily newspapers.
Mr. Curtis prospered because he
had the essential qualities of success
in himself. He was honest, industri
ous, modest, religious, quick-witted,
sober, generous and cheerful. His
life was a complete disproof of the
notion many lazy folk haCe, that men
only get rich by robbing the poor.
He gave the people of America more,
in the shape of wholesome good
reading, than he ever took from
them.
CONSTITUTIONS . . the spirit
I confess to a lack of sympathy
with the idea that our nation or any
nation must always be fettered by
the dead hands of the past. I am
willing to admit that the Constitu
tion of the United Staes is the great
est charter of government ever set
down on paper, hut greater than
any written document is the spirit
of the people, and when that changes
it is time t® change the document
Or discard it.
Tile best thing about the British
Constitution is that it is not written.
It includes all the fundamental laws
that have been enacted since Magna
Charta; the Act of Succession, the
Bill of Rights and a few other basic
statutes that must not be violated,
and that’s all.
The best state constitution 1
know of is that of my own Common
wealth of Massachusetts. It sets
down a few things which the Gen
eral Court may not do and says, in
substance, that the Legislature can
do anything else that may be neces
sary to be done. And the worst con
stitution I have ever head is that
if Oklahoma, which tries to prescribe
every detail of government.
TEXAS . . and foreign affairs
Anybody who thinks the American
people ure not concerned about for
eign affairs had better not* say that
too loud in Texas. Peter Molyneux,
editor of the Texas Weekly, has beer,
making Texans understand that the
prosperity of all of them depends
directly on international trade.
Few people think of Texas in con
nection with foreign affairs, but thac
big state ships more goods abroad
than even New York. About 90 per
cent of Texas cotton goes abroad,
ar.d a third of the population is well
off or poor, depending upon the for
eign price of cotton. Texas oil is
another big item in foreign trade.
Peter Molyneux believes, and ;s
getting other Texans to believe, that
we’ve got to compromise the war
debts and reduce our tariffs if we
want to, continue selling our goods
abroad. Europe can’t buy from u<
unless we buy from them, he says;
nnd I think he’s just about right.
KING .... speaks to world
George the Fifth, the most pop
ular king England has had for more
tb.an a century,, opened the World
Economic Conference in London
with a speech which was heard b>*
radio around the world. Every na
tion on the globe, 66 of them, was
lepresented there. No njonarch ever
presided over such a truly world-wide
gathering.
The conference was called by the
League of Nations, supposedly the
most democratic organization in the
world. But the man who presided is
the only authentic and powerful em
THE JACKSON PROGRESS. *RCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
peror who remains upon a throne.
One secret of George V’s popular
ity is that he doesn’t act as if he
were a monarch. He knows that he is
King only so long as the English peo
ple want him to be. He is said to
have intimated that the heir to the
throne, the Prince of Wales, stands
a much better chance of becoming
President of the British Republic
than King.
STOCKS the flurry
Anybody who thinks that specula
tion in stocks can be stopped by law
has another guess corning. There is
no limit to the desire of human be
ings to gamble. Most of the trans
actions on the Stock Exchange in nor
mal times are on behalf of legitimate
investors, who have Bought and paid
for their stocks and sell only when
they can make a material profit by
doing so and not always then, if the
dividend’s continue.
Investors buy intelligently and sell
carefully. But the person
who does not make a business of
looking after his money thinks he
can beat the stock-market game
while still carrying on his ordinary
business. It can’t be done, and it is
nobotty’s fault but his own when
lie loses.
Just now there’s anew wave of
peculation in the market, because
investors are buying in order to pro
cct their money against depreciation.
But anybody who “plays the mar
ket” on margin is simply foolish.

HOME OWNERS TOLD TO v
WATCH,MORTGAGE SALES.
—. f
Washington, D. C.—Don’t let any
one foreclose the mortgage on your
home if you think the $2,000,000,-
000 federal mortage relief fund can
help you. Go to court and ask a stay.
That is the earnest advice of Sen
ator Wagner of New- York, who
pointed out that since the new law
is to be in operation within a week
or two all courts should take judicial
notice and “come to the rescue of
th,e mortgagor.”
Branch offices are to be set up
across the country to consider ap
plications for aid from hard-pressed
home owners.
Nose bleed may be stopped by
lying on your back and placing a
