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. *4.900,000 FOR DRY DOCK. Washington, D. C.—The committee amendments for a $600,000 break water at Key West, Fla., and for in creasing the limit of cost of the Pearl Harbor dry dock In Hawaii to $4,500.- POO were agreed to after debate in the house yesterday. J£LF ' / ' 'l' 1 fa' fMTHe- SAHAfre. ' ’ \ \ I A. r 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 ” THREE MORE DAYS OF “BOOSTER PERIOD ” Turn your promise* Into subscrip tions amt win the prize you want.
