Interest compounded, will beat any investment if al
lowed time enough. To illustrate: Alaska was purchased
fifty years ago, at a cost of $7,000,000. A recent state
ment shows it has yielded since that time nearly $700,000,
000 This, it is nninted nut. is a wonderful increase and
a most profitable investment. Yet if the same sum had I
been placed at interest at six per cent and compounded itj
would in fifty years have amounted to about ,lZu,uw,uou.
This would be largely in favor of the investment; but it
will be seen the interest has been at work. " Now if the
interest was allowed to run another fifty years the orig
inal investment would have amounted to about $2,250,000,-
000. By the end of 100 years Alaska will have produced

and '.two-thirds times. Every , dollar would have earned
in that time $108,690, and would have earned, interest for
the whole time at the rate of $1.49 a day. Can you beat it?
As another little example of the get-there-a-tiveness
of interest takei look at the Rockefeller fortune. How
much it is no one knows; but he is commonly credited with
being a billionaire. Supposing this estimate to be correct
his money at interest for 48 years at six per cent would
double itself four times and amount to $16,000,000,000.
96 years. it. would have doubled itself eight times and
total $256,000,000,000. In twelve years move it would
double a again and amount to $512,000,000,000, or a sum
equal about to the total valuation of the United States.
This would double again in' twelve years.' At the end of
200 years' it would amount to $108,690,000,000,000. This
is considerably more than ten times the value of the en
tire world.

presses ahead, but the indications are both have reached
the Hindenburg line and that further advance, if any, will
be slow.
Rockefeller's pastor is epigrammatic as wTell as em
phatic, but his expression sounds n trifle profane coming
from the pulpit. He said in his sermon Sunday among
other things: . "To hell with Germany. If Germany is
tight then God is wrong."
There has been all kinds of dope handed out as to who
would be elected speaker, and columns have been filled
with nicely planned combinations by which the republi
cans, would elect their candidate. There was just one
man who had it figured out to a vote, and that was the
man who was elected, Champ Clark, who some time agoi
fcaid he would be elected on the first ballot. His predic
tion was verified yesterday when he got 217 votes as
against 205 for his principal opponent Mann, and 211 for
all his opponents. The house was organized by the dem

Universal Manhood
Suffrage the Answer
Rumors that are persistent come from Germany
through Holland that there is great unrest in Germany ,e
since the successful Russian revolution, and following the
failure of the chancellor to grant the demands of the peo
ple for a larger part in the government. None of these
rumors say definitely what, or where the trouble is; but
their persistence gives strength to the belief that really
serious conditions exist in some sections of the German
Empire.
