Excellent news comes from Florida
as to the success of that state in deal-
ing with the Mediterranean fruit fly.
It has been a costly battle, but worth
the money and trouble.
Samuel Insull and other big employ-
ers, following the example of Julius
Rosenwald, supply money to protect
employees from losses in stock specu-
lation.
Henry Ford wouldn’t agree with
that idea. Two years ago when this
writer mentioned certain stocks in
which there were bound to be heavy
losses, Mr. Ford said: “Of course.
But that’s the only way people can
learn.”
Whether it is wise not to let na-
ture take its course in gambling as
n other things, is questionable.
Mr. Rockefeller, who has given
away $750,000,000 to science, educa-
tion and fighting disease, rarely
makes any public utterance. His
statement about the purchase of
stocks by himself and his son is his
first ’public statement on business
since 1911. It will do more than any-
thing else could have done to restore
confidence.
it used to be said, “Wise man,
take your profits.” That has chang-
ed to “Wise man, take your iosses,”
meaning, don’t sell in a panic and re-

Senator Nye of North Dakota wants
Wall Street and “all speculation

remedy ready by February 1.
That’s a short time for so big a
job.

Two ways of getting something:
one is to work, the other to gamble.”
Ninety per cent of human beings
prefer the gambling way.
That will be changed a god deal

Two more great oil fields have been

Everybody knows that his purchases j
are based not on a desire for profits, !
but to restore confidence and prevent
unnecessary loss to millions.
