sated by Schwab just as Carnegie put S, wa.b into the
ports lhat the steel industry is sound, with business
indications of a steady growth. What a change in a
vision of the cider Morgan molded for the business
a co-ordinated trade, the three or four hundred steel
jtic state. The bold stroke of the h-on hand of finance
along the lane of amazing accomplishment. The peo

Itted that behind the great issue of common stock, there was not an
;,ct worthy Of the name. The plants had to be replaced every year or
o, and the Industry seemed lo rest on shifting sand. But time, and
i- rgy, backed by the sterling character and ability of men like Schwab,
on turned nebulous assets into a basis for sound credits and today the
1 industry is regarded as the unfailing barometer of the world's trade.

built the emancipation of the fanner from a life of drudgery and a
wide industry that will benefit all mat, kind.
BEWARE OF WIItKLEHS FAKIRS
Watch out for Hie wireless fakirs. The new generation, since the scand
ous stock jot, bin;; operations that marked the advent of the Marconi
Ireleaa telegraph concern In which thonsanda of widows and other poor
,1k we re robbed of their life saving;, should read a little history. The
iblie is of short memory. It wlil not be long before the stqck jobbers
111 be ;it work offering all kind of alluring propositions identified with
,e manufacture and operation of w less telephone outfits. The danger
being swindled In these highly speculative enterprises is in proportion
1 the opportunity for profit, and soa double warning 4s necessary, because
' wireless telephone business is destined to stagger the imagination be-
many years have passed, When the thousand per cent per day
opo ,i!s reach this town, let those with loose change be cautious. Cupid
t is a dangerous leader. Follow old Heneral Conservatism and be safe.
