SMITH—MR. McADOft V CARNEGIE. l,Nt,M0,Mt FOR GOLF. Hl If North and South America cannot set before tha rest of the world an exampla of peace and common Dense, something is wrong with North or South America. This year the Latin'Republic will spend $100,000,000 developing railroads, and ipost of the money will be borrowed in the United States. Chile is negotiating a $40,000,000 loan In New York to electrify the Chilean State Railways. Apparent ly those South American republics have public officials sufficiently honest and competent to manage State railways. * The finaiteing of desirable indus trial enterprises in South America by United States banks is a useful investment for American money. When Andrew Carnegie sold his mills to United States Steel he would gccept only special bonds, wouldn’t take preferred stock as a gift, laughed at the common stock . saying it wasn’t even water, it was << air. n Recent figures would sur prise and probably annoy Mr. Car negie’s Scotch thrift The steel company in 1926 earned $199,004,- 741, enough to pay $17.96 a share on the common stock, a new record of peace-time prosperity in the steel bush One billion dollars will be spent on new golf courses and clubhouses this year, including the cost of 1,- 000 new golf chibs starting and maintenance of old dubs. If the nation could build a thousand new flying machines, one for each new golf dub, to protect the links and placid gentlemen playing on them, it would be a good thing. Dry raiders seise 125,000 worth of "blending” machinery used to ‘ * wim facto re benedictine, chartre use, and other liqueurs. The •'blend ing" has been going on, full blast, for four months. Many an Ameri can has dsmaged his mucous mem brane, absorbing the product of tbit machinery. Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, himself widely discussed . in con nection with the Democratic Presi dential nomination, says Governor Smith, of New York, “is the out» standing Democrat in the United States.” On the other hand. Mr. Milton, editor of the Chattanooga • News says William G. McAdoo is the only, man for Democrats to nomin ate. Mr Milton says Governor Smith cannot ^e nominated be cause “the country is seventy per cent dry, aad no wet can be elec ted to the Presidency." Governor Smith’s friends say, “wait, and • John D. Rockefeller still has the New York Stock Exchange seat that he bought in 1883, forty-four years ago. He never uses it, kevp- it perhaps to remind him of old days when he was making money for himself before he began spend ing his millions in Rockefeller . Foundations, Institutes, fighting disease—for other people. . That seat, which probably cost Mr. Rockefeller less than $50,000 he could sell how for $180,000. If he holds it a litttle longer, it will be worth $200,000. Russian husbands and wives rill be interested in their mail fron now on. For a divorce you simply notify thf authorities that you want it, then send word to your better half through the post office and that settles it. You are divorc ed. In China the thing is more seri ous. The natives hate strangers as cats hate dogs. They are tired of watching foreigners spend money, having courts and territory of their own, and are glad when the timef comes to murder a few. The murdering seems to be close at Hand. Uncle Sam baa. some of his ships there, and unpleasant news may be expected. After th£ Boxer rebellion, when the other nations compelled the, Chinese to pay millions in dam ages,' this nation handed the money back. . — But that won’t help our popular- ~ Wh$p Europe was in trouble, le Sam sent an army of two .on men, five thousand million dollars, and other thousands of mil lions since.

Demark Telephone Equipment Modem It will probably be interesting for the patrons of the telephone company to know that the telephone building in Denmark js equipped with all of the modern devices for the transmission of telephone business, including radio and photograph transmission. This building was erected a few years ago at a cost of nearly a quarter of a mil lion dollars to handle through business from the north to points south. Radio equipment was necessary to handle certain classes of American Telephone and telegraph businere, and recent in ventions making possible the trans mission of photographs over telephone wires necessitated equipment to take care of this new snd novel phase of national enterprise. Thirty-five em ployees are employed in the building send the monthly payroll is about $6,000.—The Bamberg Herald.
