PROFITS CALL FOR INVESTMENTS
The death of Cyrus II. 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. .
Police reports that pickpockets aro not as numerous re
mind us that profitable pockets are also nUher scarce.
