Job E. Hedges. nationally known
lawyer. wit and political sage. who
died Sunday. left behind shafts of
cutting humor. which may be his
most lusting monument.
Among his often repeated witti-
clams was this one:
“If a man stood before a mirror
one hour a day he‘d laugh himself
to death, go insane or become a de-
gent citizen."
Think this over. Try it some time
when you feel mean. grouchy or vin-

“England is no longer what it was.

held for its sons are fast dissolving.

opportunities both for living and

Major Gibbs has been a resident
bf this country for seven years and
is married to an American girl.

goted we must know that America

Put. l‘ovvt‘r Behind the Law.
Thomas Mott Osborn the prison
reformer. prof-sis against sa \« rt
sentences for hold-up men and lillr-
glars. on the ground that this meth-
mi of dealing with them Will only
incite. them to Kl't‘iit crirms. Thus
the hold-up man, fact-d with the,
prospect of getting 1.3 to :o years"
imprisonment it' t‘;iiigiit_ would kill
his victim first and rub him at. his
leisure. figuring the penalty would
be the same and the work less (lan-
gorml‘.
This is queer reasoning.
On this basis the way to banish
crime is to lnalw the ptiriliy so low
that criminals Will rili'k to the mi.»
demeanors and shun the larger
crimes. The way to reduce automo-
bile accidents. by tliis method. is to
fine the reckless or drunken driver
a. few dollars and let him go. for. if
you punish him severely. he will in»
far more reckless and destructive in
the future. Thus the litavier the
penalty for the recklcss driver the
more innocent persons he will maiin
or kill in the future.
No sensible observer will take any
stock in this theory of Mr. Ushorii's.
There are two things the hold-up
man or the burglar fears—arrest
and severe punishment. Remove
these two menaces from a criminal
mind and no citizen‘s life or proper-
ty would be safe. \Vo got a glinipst:
during the, police strike. of what
would happen in that case. and we
need no more such object lessons.
An alert. intelligent fourtrss po-
lice force is one great insurance
against crime. Hold-up men and
burglars fight shy of such territory.
Quick. certain and adequate pun-
ishnii-ut at the lands of Judges who
cannot be impasmi upon by senti-
mental appeals wili complete tiic
protection to the community.
There is no other way to dealing
with dangerous criminals. The un-
derworld thrives on leniency. Its
members know the insufficient po-
lice forcea and the "soft" judges.
The one city in Massachusetts whose
police force is notorious everywhere
for its inefficiency and corruption is
the most lawless and dangerous spot
in the entire state.
\Vatch the manoeuvres of lawyers
for crooks and see how skillfully
they attempt to steer their cases be—i
fore the so-called “easy" judges. and!
how. panic stricken they are when
faced with a judge who believes in
stern punishment. They take little
stock in Mr. Osliorn's theory.
Enforce the law!
Back is up by punishment that
will serve notice on' all law break—
ers just what will happen to them
when they get caught! '
Above all. let us not be deceived
by qentlmentai pleas in behalf of
men who prowl the streets. revol-
vers in hand. invade houses. attack
and rob innocent people, and when
caught plead for mercy on the
ground that. if punished. they will
commit even worse crimes.

American manufacturers of elec-
trical appliances and supplies during
1924 used 9.5 per cent more copper“
than they did during the previous
year. The consumption of copper
by these manufacturers in 1924 was
891.000.000 pounds and in 19:: it
was 857,000,000 pounds. In practi-
cally every other industry of the
country the consumption of copper
for last year was lower than that of
two years ago.

Investment Bankers
By 6130. T. HUGHES
(Copyright. 1936)
A good deal has been said in this
series about the work of the invest-t
mcnt banker and the care h etakes
in his sulecllon of the bonds which
he offers for sale to his customers.
InVestrnent banking is highly spec-
ialised business. a business which
with some investnlt‘nt- bankers is
raised to the dignity of a profes-
;uaiuisa.\ux uo dull“ MON '“Ol'
banker gong securities primu’“! :03
the purpose of makin‘ ‘ prodi- it is
l his duty and the conscienuoul
; banker makes it his practice to bear
in mind the particular needs of the
l individual investor. This he cannot
do unless the customer 8““ him h“
entire confidence.
In a way the selection of secur~
ities for a client is much like the
prescription of a physician for a PI»-
iient. “'liat is one man's meat is
another man‘s poison. You would
hardly expect a doctor to prescribe
for you if you withhold from him
th-~ farts about your condition he-
cessaiy to form an accurate Judg-
mint. Now this is just what you
must do. with your investment bank-
er. if he is torecommend any in-
n-sznicnt lln must know the pertin-
ent facts about the financial re-
sources of the investor. He ought
(to know ;ust hofi much capital his
client possrssea and Just how it is
invested now.
As has ixen repeatedly pointed
out. in these articles the smaller
your rcusources the more conservao
tive must. be your investments. The
banker should know whether or not
this capital is likely to be needed on
short notice for lusineas or other
purpoms. lf '.llt‘ investor is actively
engaged in commerce and so from
tinit: to time zeroed to realize on his
securities at short notice he must
have entirely different investments
from a retired business man or wo~
man \\ ho only want the highest in-
come consistent with safety. Nor
can any investment adviser properly
recommend securities without
knowing what other stocks or bonds
are already hold. This is essential
in order that diversification may be
preserved.
There are many other questions
which will come up in each indivi-
dual case. lfniees you are frank
with your investment banker you
cannot get the best results from the
survive he is glad to get to you.

“HEN GEN. EDWARDS
DISOBEYED
“‘orcester Telegram.)
Secretary of “far \Veeks paid a
tribute to Gen. Edwards the other
day which may cause a. good deal
of discussion among persons inter-
ested in military affairs. According
to a Special dispatch to the Boston
Transcript. .\lr. Weeks said:
"I have heard Gen. Edwards tell
of an order which he received while
on the western front to send his
men into in engagement which he
considered ill-advised. To that or-
der Gen. Edwards replied:
propose to have my boys slaughter-
ed.’ That was both courageous and
sound. I know the circumstances."
An officer who dosn't want his
men killed is to be commended. An
omcer who doesn't care whether or
Inot his men are killed does not de-
serve to be an oflioer.
But no war can be fought with-
out men being killed. Not often
can there be engagements in which
men are not slaughtered. The fact
that the carrying out of an order
will mean slaughter is no reason for
disobeying the order—not if there
is anything to the principal that the
soldier‘s first duty is to obey the or-
ders of his superiors.
Presumably the order which Gen.
Edwards refused to carry out was
given by his corps commander aet-
ing on orden from Gen. Pershing-
Perhaps eGn. Edwards was in con-
aidering the order ill-advised. Bat
