Recipe for Making a
Million
A friend of mine who is still un
der thirty-five has made a for
tune, and I asked him how he did it
"I've been to your offlce several
times," I said, "but you seem sel
dom to be there."
"No, I don't go to the office every
day," he answered. "A good deal
of the time I just sit and look out
the window and think.
"When I make a decision I go
out and put it into effect, and a lit
tle more than half the time I have
had the good luck to be right When
I find I have made a mistake, I sit
down and say: 'Now what did I do
wrong? Were my facts inaccurate,
or did I draw bad conclusions? How
am I going to avoid making that
mistake again?"
I knew another man who owned
a small but profitable business. He
was methodical in his habits. On
a certain day of each month he
stayed away from the office, and
everybody In his employ knew that
the old man was "thinking." From
breakfast time until sun-down on
such a day he would sit before an
open fire or on an open porch,
without pen or pencil or paper, or
reports, and quietly think.
He attributed his modest success
to this unvarying habit
Henry Ford remarked to me once
that "thinking is the hardest job
there is," and added that he could
get plenty of doers but not enough
thinkers.
Most of us know from our own
limited experience that thinking is
hard, and we have insulated our
selves against it by a restless and
noisy environment
We are afraid to be found in a
small audience, terribly afraid to be
alone. Our unwillingness to take
'trips, or to retire, is not dictated so
much by loyalty to the job as it is
by the haunting fear that, removed
from the protecting clatter of daily
activity, we shall have "too much
time to think."
Emerson tells the story of "a man
who on his death-bed called to him
his profligate son and left him large
possessions, only exacting of him
the promise to spend an hour every
day alone. The soh kept his word
and became a wise and good man."
In another passage Emerson re
marks that "the gods and the wild
beasts are both fond of solitude;
thought makes the difference be
tween the solitude of the god and
that of the Hon."
Solitude and thought are respon
sible for the considerable fortune of
the young friend whom I quoted at
the beginning. I pass on his recipe
free to all. I have not been able to
apply it myself.
having been too busy.
colored lights. It is much more sen
sible than the habit of denuding our
forest areas for a sentimental practice.
CONGRESS
As I write, the Democratic party
seems to have won practical control
of both houses of Congress. Presi
dent Hoover will not be the first
president with a Congress of the
other party on his hands.
Constructive legislation will not
necessarily be held up by reason of
that fact Partisan measures un
doubtedly will be blocked, and much
political capital will be made by
both parties out of the failure of
the Democrats to approve the Pres
ident's policies on the one hand, and
the refusal of the President to ap
prove Congressional action, on the
other hand),
In South America or Europe, an
election resulting as this one did
would carry the head of the gov
ernment out of office. The position
of the President of the United
States, serving for a fixed term, is
almost unique. His office combines
that of a king and a premier, with
the security in office for a time
that a king enjoys, and the party
responsibility of a prime minister.

TELEVISION
Ten years ago the election of
President Harding was one of the
first attempts at radio broadcasting.
Nobody could buy a radio receiving
set in 1920, because there were none
on the market Only amateur elec
tricians who made their own sets
could get anything "on the air."
Television is in the same stage
today as broadcasting was In 1920.
The Chicago Daily News broadcasts
pictures of election charts on the
night of November 4. Only those
who could pick them out on the air
who had built television receiving
apparatus. There are no television
receivers for sale. But there are
thousands of eager amateurs exper
imenting in television in 1930, just
as there were thousands experi
menting In ordinary radio recep
tion in 1920. And in another ten
years everybody may be able to stay
at home and see pictures of events
as they happen, by means of some
sort of receiving device not yet in
vented. WORK
A charitably-inclined association
of apple growers sent several car
loads of apples to New York City,
to be given to the unemployed.
Some 1,500 men began peddling ap
ples at a nlckle apiece, and in the
first week took in about $12,000, or
about $8 each. This did not do
them any good nor relieve the un
employment situation. It was char
ity and beggary, only slightly dis
guised. On the other hand, the agreement
by a group of citizens to finance a
general cleaning-up of parks, va
cant lots and unsightly . rubbish
heaps, actually provided work for
some thousands of unemployed. Any
relief measure which does not re
quire the recipient to work for what
he gets is foolishly sentimental and
dangerous. Once the average per
son finds he can get something- for
nothing, he loses his taste for giving
the equivalent In work for every
dollar he receives.
PROHIBITION
The election on November 4 was
decidedly a "wet" victory In many
parts of the United States, includ
ing the principal cities.
There is no question that millions
of people who have heretofore al
ways voted "dry" and who are In
favor of prohibition in principle,
have become disgusted with the pro
hibition law and Its enforcement as
it stands, and want a change.
I personally know many ladles
who have been ardent "dry" work
ers who voted for "wet" candidates
for Congress on no other ground,
I have no solution to offer for the
liquor problem. The control of traf
fic in "hard liquor" is a problem
with which every civilized govern
ment, in the world is wrestling.
TREES
The Forest Service Is out with Its
annual warning against depleting
the forests by cutting loo many
voune sDruce. fir and pines for
nhrixtmna trees. Where thev grow
thickly it is good forestry practice
to thin them out, dui too many lar
mnra will clear off an entire hill
Bide top for the sake of sending
their trees to a cash market
This is not likclv to be a good
year In the Christmas-tree market,
and farmers are warned not .to be
gin cutting until they have made all
arrangements for the sale of Christ
mas trees to resoonsibie buyers.
I like the custom which prevails
in the South, of decorating living
trees at Chrsitmas time. I have
seldom seen anything more beauti
ful than Riverside Avenue in, jacK-
sonvllle with the trees blazing with
