When List Is Down Is Time to
Invest Your Money—Some
Suggestions.
By B. C. FORBES.
When everythin/? is going to perdi
tion. in\est vour rjionev
• • •
Let me tell a little story before I
summon up courage to submit a list
of good securities in response to
many importunities to do so.
* • •
The country was suffering from a
spell of rain that was threatening to
♦i^roy everything The farmers and
^fWntry folk* were becoming much
♦cfrled. Day after day the rain con
tinued to fall. The inhabitants be
««n»-3 alarmed. They feared ruin. At
last they grew panicky. What whs
to he done? What could be done"
• * •
They called a prayer meeting Ev
ery adult, male and female, attended
The excitement was volcanic. The
women wept, the men shook their
heads and wrung their hands
• • •
The patriarch of the countryside,
nearing 90 year* of age. alone was
cairn. They turned to him to address
them They even berated him for
showing so little emotion
• » * » *
"Well, my children.' he began, T
have lived longer than any of you.
and in all my life I have never known
but one rain that didn’t stop."
• * •
They were puzzled ‘‘When?''
"Which one was that?" they asked
anxiously.
* * •
"That was this one— and T have all
faith that it will stop, too."
• • •
With that he sat down The peo
ple looked at one another foolish- v
like, mumbled and muttered a little,
then got up and went home.
• • •
And the rain? Yes. it did stop,
just ns the old man was sure it would.
• • •
Now', when you read and are told
that everything in this country is
spinning toward wreck and ruin, that
things arc all going to smash. Just
recall the adamantine faith of the
patriarch. Every period of bad times
in the past has had an end—and the
chances are that this one, too. will
not last forever. No tree sends its
branches quite to heaven or its roots
quite to the other place .
* * • /
Please do not rush to the conclu
sion, however, that T have performed
a mental somersault, that 1 have sud
denly concluded we are not to have
depression, after all.
* * •
Were the probabilities otherwise
investments could not be picked up at
the extremely low prices now quoted
• ♦ •
Whether prices will go much lower
no mortal can foretell. Very prob
ably they will sag further There
may conceivably be a sharp, painful
upset. That is more likely than a
boom
• » •
But the investor who buys outright
can now select sound securities yield
ing higher returns than have been
available at any modern time with
the exception of rare panic moments.
Solely because beseeehed to do so
1 submit a varied list of bonds that
are reckoned safe under ail reason
able circumstances, and I also ap
pend a number of high-grade stork*
held in high regard as more or less

GEORGIA
POLITICS
4) James b.kotn
on
The annoumeci resignation of
Judge Robert Pottle from the bench
of the State L’ourt of Appeal*, for the
very sufficient reason that the judge
has found it impossible to live, in
justice to himself and those depend
ent upon him, upon the small salary
paid, has aroused the State press
anew to the crying injustice of an
underpaid judiciary in Georgia, and
prompts The Macon News to protest
vigorously against the same.
In Tuesday's News appears the
following editorial:
The Judges of the appellate
courts of Georgia must be paid
more money.
II is a disgrace io the State that
the Justices of the Court of Ap
peals and the Supreme Court are
not given salaries commensurate
with their services and their
ability.
The Court of Appeals judges are
paid less than the Superior Court
judges of Atlanta. Macon ajid
Augusta.
No wonder they resign to re
enter the practice of law Able
lawyers can not be expected to
sacrifice themselves and their
families merely for the honor of
occupying the bench.
Invariably the men who are
elected, or appointed, to the Ap
pellate Courts are lawyers of dis
tinction and large practice. They
are at least lawyers of undoubted
ability. Such men should not be
asked to serfe as the highest
judges of the State for such in
adequate compensation.
In the end this system will op
erate to put judges of mediocre
caliber on the bench.
In New- Yofk State some judges
are paid $17,600 per year, and it
is not considered a bit too much.
In Georgia excellent judges
may be had for a great deal less
money, but they should not he
expected for the sa la l ies now
paid.
'The next session of the Georgia
Legislature should result in the
raising of the Judges' pay.
The protest against the present
small pay of the judiciary in Georgia
is growing stronger ami stronger.
There is no doubt that a serious
and com^rted effort will be made
when the Legislature meets next sum
mer to have the pay of the judges
raised substantially, and it looks now
as if success will crown the same
The Governor is said to favor such
action, and the bar of the State Is n
unit In favor of it.
The reappointment of Judson *'.
Clements to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which has been du’v
confirmed by the Senate of the United
States, Is intensely gratifying Lm
Georgia. v
All factions of politics joined heart
ily and sincerely in an appeal to the
President not to put this distin
guished and useful Georgian off tin-
Commission- not only for Georgia's
sake, but for the Commission’s sake
no less.
Judge Clements is the ranking
member of the Commission, has
served as its chairman, and unques
tionably is the very highest authority
in the United States on matters per
taining to the work of that most im
portant body.
Congress as a whole realized the
fatal error that would he Involved 1r.
Judge Clements' dismissal, and par
ticularly the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee of the Hous .
This great committee, laying aside ill
question of politics, appealed vigor
ously to the President to retain Judee
Clements. The pressure finally be
came so great upon the President,
that he yielded his contrary views und
reappointed the Georgia man.
Governor Glenn, of North Carolina,
who had been slated for Judge Clem
ents’ position on the Interstate, Con--
merce Commission p ill be named t.
some other office, as the President is
anxious to provide for him. This, too,
will he gratifying to Georgians, as tho
former Executive of the Tarheel St.ce
is well known and genuinely liked In
this State.
While General Nash Is asking that
General Obear s office inside the Sta.o
Capitol be abolished, Thomas E. Wa:-
son is as busy as can lx* asking that
the entire military establishment bv?
abolished and relegated to the shadr s
of things thiU were
And—well, if,the "red-headed one"
isn't exactly pleading for the utter
abolition of the militia, he, at least, is
asking that it be thoroughly reor
ganized from top to bottom, and he
Views the entire l!fie-up with genuine
a larrn.
In a recent article ^Ir. Watson says
Just now the German Empire 1*
being convulsed because a young
squirt of a -i/tenant. wearing
the Kaiser’s sacred uniform,
slashed the head of a crippled
shoemaker, who had jeered at the
little squirt.
« Of course, the cripple should
never have hooted at the uni
formed squirt.
The cripple should have pros
trated himself before the Kaiser’s
uniform, as the Switzers used
to do when they saw' Gessler’s
hat.
Even a crippled shoemaker ^>f
this day and time ought to know'
1hat Gessler’s hat has come bax k,
and that all of us must bow down
to the tyTant in uniform
In other words; militarism has
been resurrected; and we need an
other William TeH to shoot an ar
row into its arrogant heart.
And then Mr. Watson proceeds in
his Jeffersonian to roast the Georgia
military establishment, particularly
for some past "misdeeds," good and
proper, and to wonder how long this
thing i«r to continue, and w hither are
we drifting, anyway!
Indeed, up one side and down t'<e
other, the Georgia militia seems to be
having a real pleasant time with Itself
nowadays, inside the family and out!
President Foule, of the State College
of Agriculture, has just received a let

Xmas Gift Spurned ,He
Shoots Wife and Self
BALTIMORE. Dec. 24.—Because his
wife refused to accept a gold watch
and chain from him as a Christmas
present. Walter Grimes shot and
mortally wounded her and then killed
himself.
GRAIN NOTES.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Bulls
say that should a break come they
look for corn to sell higher than ever
later on. believing in the supply and de
mand theory. They assume that the
big receipts will be over inside of a
week and that the market is in a con
dition to be heavily oversold.
"Traders in wheat pit all day yester
day said the late weakness was due
more to selling by tired longs than to
any new development in the general sit
uation."
