SEPTEMBER 28
WHITHERSOEVER: -Ood is with thee, withersoever thou goeat.-
Joshua 1:9.
ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE
Among various schemes for obtaining a living without
work possibly none is clothed with an older tradition nor
attended with more uniform success for the promoter than
the lost estate graft.
Such of 1,400 heirs of a first settler in Deleware as have
assisted financially in attempts to recover most of the prop­
erty on which the city of Wilmington stands are doubtless
willing now to subscribe to that truth. They are members
of the Springer family who have bought membership in a
corporation organised ostensibly for the purpose of prose­
cuting the claim. This claim, ,it now appears, was based
on a fraudulent document composed by a promoter.
At one time or another probably every large city in the
country has been the subject of similar claim by some self-
seeking person trading on the inexplicable human weakness
for reclaiming some misty and extensive heritage. The city
of New Orleans, particularly, was once claimed entire by a
person who made a fat living off the promotion of a perfectly
impossible scheme. Wall Street has served on numberless
occasions as the lost estate. The combined acreage of estates
thus claimed in the British Isles probably exceeds that of the
Islands themselves.
Aside from the ethics involved in seeking to recover
what generation after generation of utter strangers have built
up and made valuable, the best commentary on the wisdom
of subscribing to such fantastic schemes is the fact that not
iu a single instance in memory has any of them visited with
the slightest success, save such as accrues to an unscrupulous
promoter.
TRUSTING THE BANKS
Money in old socks or under the rag carpet is one of
the most useless things in the world. Such money does not
even furnish any real protection to the person who has hid­
den it, for it is so likely to he lost or stolen or burned up.
People usually store money in this way because they do
not trust the hanks and other financial institutions which
handle the funds of tliier depositors. Even under a total
lack of guarantee laws of the bank is ordinarily a safer de­
pository for money than is the old sock.
(hie function of money is to make more money for its
possessor. It was not meant to be hoarded, hut to be used
to furnish the life-blood for the arteries of trade. Money
that is set to work makes money.'not only in a direct wav
for its owner, hut indirectly for everybody. Industries live
on capital, under our present social organization, which seems
likely to persist for some time to come. Laborers work
when money works, and starvation would come to many if
all the money of the country were put; under the carpet.
And the money itself would become worthless.
Another bulwark of industry is confidence. The wheels
of trade will not turn without the lubricant of trust. The
widespread spirit of suspicion that leaids to. the hoarding
of money in the home is not good business.
America needs to get its money out of the teapot and
the oven and put it in the hanks and the business of the
land.
If people will not trust the banks, let them loan
their money to Uncle Sam. Probably he will not go bankrupt;
and if he does; the money will he of no use anyhow. Put
your money at work, somewhere and somehow, and then
go to work yourself in the cheerful confidence that most of
your fellowmen are honest and will protect your interests.
WIVES
Every married man has had this experience: Husband
meets a man with an impressive front, swallows him hook,
line and sinker.
He is so impressed that he insists on wife meeting him.
Friend wife, meeting the stranger, isn’t impressed.
Why? Well, she doesn’t know exactly—the stranger has
a peculiar look about his eyes; he wears the wrong color
necktie, or looks as if he were mean to his wife.
Time proves the wife was right in her size-up. Instinct,
the sixth sense, told her.
1 he only accurate clairvoyant is a woman’s intuition.
Nebraska’s governor is selling coal, Governor McMaster
of South .Dakota, is selling gasoline and the governor of
Oklahoma is fighting the klan. Every governor should have
a good side line.

LONDON, Sept. 2 '.— Regeneration
of country life is one of the great
future problems of England, in the
opinion of David Lloyd George, the
former Prime Minister of Great Brit­
ain. Increasing development of crowd
ed Industrial areas is one of the
country’s greatest dangers.
In a recent address at the little
village of Llanystumdwy, Wales,
where, 48 years ago, he attended
the village school, the former Pre­
mier voiced his conviction that the
decay of English country life is one
of the greatest menaces to the fu­
ture of the nation. He spoke in an
institute which he presented to the
village three years ago.
"The life of Britain," he said,
"rests too much in its industrial
areas, far too little in its rural ar­
eas.
The roots of the people
ought to be more and more, instead
of less and less, in the rural com­
munities. I am sorry to say that it
is the other way .
Warns of Danger
“I have seen the peril of it and
have repeatedly warned the nation
about it.
There is no country
which has become so lndustralized
to the detriment of its rural life.
The trouble is that there is a con­
stant passing of the young people
to the towns; their thoughts are not
upon leading a life in their beauti­
ful valleys.
"That is a bad thing for Wales,
bad thing for Britain and for the
British Empire and it is a
bad
thing for humanity as well.
"The rural districts, the villages
must be made more attractive,
remember that villages used to
practically self-contained. They pro­
vided boots and shoes and clothing
and practically everything.
"There were, of course, a few
things that had to be bought out­
side. For instance, you could not
plant tea here, and we could not
grow tobacco, and if we did we
could not smoke it.
“There were certain things that
the village had to get outside but
in the main, It was self-contained.
That has gone.
“Walk along the river now and
you see derelict woolen mills. They
have all gone, and the same thing is
true, with regard to many of the
villages of Great Britain.
Need Country Life
"One of the great problems
the future is to regenerate the
country life.
You are getting it as
far as the middle classes are concern­
ed. They are going out of the towns
to live more and more in the coun­
try.
"It is not merely air, it is the
things you see, the things your eyes
are fixed upon. They are absorbing
what they call ‘vitalized properties’
Into their system in the country that
they do not get in the towns.
“To use a much-abused word, they
are absorbing "tranquility,’ which
is an essential part of the life of
man. That is why, from an instinct
of self-preservation, those who can
afford it are going to the country for
rest.
“The British people need to get
more and more into the country in
order to regenerate that power
that has made the British Empire so
great.”

for
ers and observing what happens. In
this case some
knowledge of
the mechanism is essential to su«-
ces. The same thing is true of the
social machine. Endless experimen­
tation may yield only negative re
suits and it may be hopelessly
wrecked long before we have fin­
ished finding out what to do.
"The war greatly increased the
expenses of Government and made
higher taxes necessary. On the prin­
ciple that the people should contri­
bute to the support of government
according to their abilities we levied
graduated income taxes. What we
saw were the increased public rev­
enues and the distribution of taxes
according to a principle we believed
to be Just. What we did nbt see was
to be Just. fWhat we did not see
were the diversion of capital from
essential industries to public uses
through investment in tax-free se­
curities and the partial defeat of
the very ends we had in view.
"During the war we also arbi­
trarily regulated the prices of a
large number of commodities. What
we saw were the prevention of pro­
fiteering and the stimulation of the
production of war materials and
