K, Curtis removes front our court try one of the foremost publishers of his time. ' It may be interesting to those contemplating what they consider the vast profits of his successful ventures to learn that when Mr. Curtis assumed control of his popular weekly, The Saturday Evening Post, it was necessary for him to in vest $1,000,000 before there were any profits at all. Subse quently, wjien he took over tho farm journal, The Country Gentleman, it was necessary for him to expend $2,000000 to bring' it out of. the red, y. . Mr. Curtis then went into the newspaper field and paid $2,000,000 for a Philadelphia daily. Of this purchase he explained that profit did not enter his mind but that he was anxious to establish a paper in Philadelphia that would lie what he thought a good newspaper should be. . ?l , - PREFERRED FRIENDS , ; Quite a bit of discussion has been caused by facts brought out before the sonato committee regarding, the financial op eration of the big Morgan partnership. No one revelation has caused as much talk and difference of opinion as that which showed this firim giving various prominent men op portunities to buy stock at prices far below the market-value. Inasmuch as the offer to sell also contained permission to pell the stock immediately if desired, tho offer made by the Morgan firm was in fact nothing but a gift of the difference in value between the market value of the stock and the price it was offered for. Quite a few prominent men were thus favored, including William II. Woodin, who now, happens to be secretary of the treasury. The offer to Mr. Woodin was made in 1920, when he was not a public officer. To consider Mr. Woodin's case in particular, it meant that because of the friendly feeling of Morgan and Company for him ho was given an. opportunity to buy one thousand shares at $20 a share for $20,000 and in the same letter he was advised that he could sell the same stock the very next day for around $35,000. The Morgan firm could have gone I out on the market, and sold these shares and made the profit; for itself, but it chose to befriend various prominent public j citizens. We rather believe that the average citizen, not , necessarily over-suspicious, will conclude that the motive be- hind the offer of Morgan and Company was the expectation that at some future day the prominent citizens thus favored would be in a position to return the courtesy some way or other. There have been a number of people who, have defended the right of these public citizens to accept such generosity and, in their private capacities, they certainly had that priv ilege, but it is quite another thing when those citizens are placed in positions of public responsibility if the obligation they are under affects the public confidence in the impar tiality of their judgment and management of public affairs. It is not a question of the integrity of the individual. Vie may be as righteous and as honest as the day is long, Imljif the public has its doubts his usefulness as a public official may be seriously impaired. Already there are some who believo that the resignation of Secretary of the Treasury Woodin will not be postponed indefinitely. Regardless of his own integrity he is catalogued in the public mind as an intimate friend of and the recipient of benefits from a large privato financial partnership which the public distrusts be cause so often its interests are contrary to the interests of the general public. .
