ADVICE FROM AFAR.
Aproing of Mr. Mellen'g smart llttlu
fpooch that “If the lenienturea would
meet only once In fl*v * r ai\ ve*»M,
the railroadn could make aotnc
money. '*
The New York World niakea gome
commentm which are of gtich general
appliciition and are ho apt Just at thiM
time to the political qucntinim which
Georgia la trying to thresh out, that
we reprint it with the advice that it
he put in the pipe of the Georgia voter
und smoked.
Hero it In: “The leglalatureH aro
largely what railroad men have
made them. If they aro corrupt.
It Ih to some extent hccaune emi
nent railroad men have shared in
their corruption. It wan not until
the people t hymnedve* intervened
that the vicious old practice of ts-
Ntiing puHMcn to public officers was
übolinhed and raiirondM forbidden
to contribute to campaign funds.
It wuts not until the people thorn
nelvea asserted their power that
rebates were outlawed. It was not
until the people thetrselveH con
demned the custom that railroad
iohhyints disappeared a c l railroad
lawyers and agents ceased to
stand regularly as party candi
dates for the legislature In 'sure'
districts.
“Who ever heard of the expos
ure of a corrupt legislator by a
railroad man? What railroad com
pany In America ever spent a dol
lar to denounce and punish politi
cal graft? What Is the name of
the railroad president who, asked
for bribe money, refused and pros
ecuted the legislator who ap
proached him?
“If the railroad men would keep
away from the legislatures for five
or sin yearn, the people might he
able to regain control over their
representatives.’*
A TIMELY EXPRESSION.
The Associated Dress seems to have
flown off the handle in its expressed
fears that the mediation conferences
would he embarrassed by the report of
the President's Interview with Mr.
Samuel Blythe coming out into print
Just at the time the conferences began.
The interview*, as reported in the
Saturday Evening Post, one of the
most widely read weekly publications
among English speaking people t seems
on the contrary, to have had quite the
opposite effect to that anticipated by
the A. P. The press reports said that
the Mexican delegates took the posi
tion that persons! ambition had play
ed a greater part In bringing about
the unfortunate conditions in Mexico
ns the land monopoly had done and
they were opposed to s plan for mak
ing subdivisions of the land.
He all this as it may; it is as welt
that the people of Mexico and the peo
ple of the United States too, should
have President Wilson's Idea clearly
and succinctly set before them, Just
now, when the mediation conferences
are beginning Accounts of the very
satisfactory understandings that have
far be« n reached, certainly Indicate
that the mediation processes have been
given no setback because of President
Wilson’s interview. In the eventual
settlement of this question, the words
of President W ilson to Mr. Hlythe will
count for a great deal. There are
without doubt many who disagree with
him but we feel sure that the ma
jority of thinking people will after a
little time come around to view' tbs
problem as Mr. Wilson views it.

THE WA YS OF THRIFT
(Copyright, 1014, American Society for Thrift.)
Foreign Thrift in America.
Prizes to children in the public schools ail over the country for the
best stories Illustrating individual thrift were offered by the American
Society for Thrlit. One after another told of relatives who had come, to
America from foreign countries anil through patient industry and thrift
cllmhed the ladder to prosperity usually people of no particular ability,
education or talent. It would seem from the studies of tlie American
Society for Thrift that foreigners in this country are much more thrifty
than Americans.. Here is u typical example written by a little girl in
Warren, I’a.
"In 1870 my grandparents came to America from Denmark. Neither
could speak English, and they lead no home to go to. There were some
Dane people here an I Urandpa got acquainted with them, and these
people said they might stay with them for a while. Then Grandpa found
work as a carpenter and soon had bought some land, lie started to build
a house on It, building it himself. He worked nights after, his own
work was done, and lie worked mornings. Finally one room was done
and they moved into It. Tlie floor was Just boards and they had prac
tically no furniture, hut the, saven end scraped until the house w-as
hiitlt, and it was quite a large house. Then Grandpa built another house
on the property and sent for Grandma’s sister in Denmark to come over,
and she lived In it for a while.
Hy that time Grandpa was working steadily in a furniture shop.
They had four children, all boys. They educated them and hail money
in tiie bank. Urandpa died last March and left Grandma the property
valued at ten thousand dollars, and all tlie money she will need. if
Grandpa hadn't worked bard and saved they mljlit have been little bet
ter off than when they came to America."
Two of Chicago's largest wholesale clothing houses were built up by
foreigners who started here as pack peddlers. The "Fair," a large de
partment. store, Ih tlio outgrowth of E. H. Lehman's pack peddling bus
iness. He watched every chance. As his original business grew he
needed a place where lie could sell tho remnants of stock when lie
bought from peoplo selling out, and from clearance sales and remnants
the Fair has expanded. Tlie Royal Tailors, one of the biggest wholesale
custom tailoring establishments oT its kind in the country started from
equally sumll beginnings. It is said that some of the most valuable
business blocks on Fifth Avenue in New York City are owned by for
eign Jew# whose parents still talk Yiddish and whose grandparents
came from Europe.in countries without a dollar. The thrift and patience
of throe generations now are powers in tlie financial vorld.
A German by tlie name of Dang came to this country penniless Ho
tells now thHi his employer loaned him twenty dollars to get married
He started n bakery in Chicago lie made good bread and cake and his
wife ran the shop. A few years ago he retired and after having accu
mulated s hundred thousand-dollars went back tn visit the Vaderland ”
