A tine example of the astute ad
vertising of questionable securities
has recently been sent through the
mails. It is an advertisement by a
Texas oil company.
The circular departs from tho old
tried and true method ot assuring
the prospective customer that this is
a deal of unquestionable safety and
eonservatism, and openly announces
that most of the great fortunes of
this country have been made by
men who were willing to take a
gambler's chance. It says further
that the scheme is being promoted
y men who are "playing a game
that has made millionaires over
might," that it is not a game for
"weaklings" but for "steel-splned
peculators." and that risks are "In
eident to all games where enormous
winnings are possible."
As an example of what has been
4cme it cites well known oil com
panies in which great fortunes have
Been made.
The thing is cunning in its direct
appeal to the gambling instinct,
which, however we try to conceal it.
'leeps, and none too soundly, in
very human breast. To insure its
being read, it is addressed to the
women of the household, and osten
tatiously marked "personal."
It is to be hoped, that this, and
all eimilar get-rich-quit k communi
cations will meet with a cold re
ception at the hands of the women
whom it is intended to deceive, and
to lead into influencing their hus
lands to invest.
There are sound 'investments, real
estate, reliable stocks and bonds,
and W. S. S. for every man, woman
r child who wants to invest a' little
money, and not one cent of the
painful savings of the family should
go into any investment, however
glittering, until it nas been investi
gated by some honest person who
knows the game.

The National Association of Danc
ing Masters has just held its annual
eonventlon In New York City. Three
hundred members from the United
States and Canada attended, and
from that august assembly this
sheering news comes forth, "The old
fashioned waltz is coming back is
already back. There will be no new
dances introduced this season only
modifications of a few present
tens."
ThTee hundred persons scattered
ever a wide territory can do a great
4eal toward revolutionizing any

The ' president's speech-makins
tour will carry him 10.000 miles and
require 25 days' time. He states
that he is not under obligations to
make a! report to anybody but "his
countrymen," inferring, of course,
that consress is an unnecessary and
entirely insignificant body of noth
ingness. He doesnt appear te like
Washington, anyway, and besides he
and congress cannot agree on a soli

Printers of Portland threaten to
strike. Their employers offered
them S4 1 .60 per week of 4 8 hours,
but the workmen demand $14 for a
44-hour week. The printers at first
asked for $1 an hour and a 42-hour
week, and there yet may be a com
promise. Some printers have no
more common horse-sense than some
railway shopmen.
"The treaty is unique," says the
president, "because in the center of
it is the redemption of weak na
tions. There never was a congress
of nations before that considered the
rights of those who could not enforce
their rights." Yet there is poor old
China, left helpless in the strangle
hold of Japan.
