On 'Back to the Soil With Wall Street"
When Wall Street wants good business men she
usually goes back to the soil to get them. That financial
thoroughfare is said to be honeycombed with men who
have plowed barefooted, who have drunk branch water,
eaten cornbread and molasses and slept on the floor in
their early days. A man is more capable of holding the
reins of business who knows how to drive a team of
mules, shear a sheep or put a ring in a shoafs nose A
man is better equipped to meet the problems of life who
in his youth has walked the log across the creek to get
to school, courted the girls at husking bees and
pitched horse shoes Saturday afternoon. A man who has
scont the moorlight nights of his youth possum hunting, going to protracted
meetings and occasionally turning down the community at a spelling ma cj
has the right sort of stufT in him to make a good business rcan. The actna
officials of most of the large business organizations of America it 's said
we-e with a very few exceptions, raised on the farm, and could swim the
creek, pitch hay, chop wood, milk the cows or slop the hogs as easily as
ill >v can run world-wide business institutions.
' The farmers look to these capable and loyal sons of <^e soil to assist In
the solution of the business problems of agriculture. Wall Street is reputed
to be capable of financing everything from a Y. M. C. A. to a war, so why not
finance agriculture? it is not sufficient to lend money to a correspondent to
lend to a local banker, to lend to a broker to lend to a merchant to lend to
the landlord to lead to a farmer. Such a financial system sounds Hke the
house that Jack built, and Is just about as useful. Neither is "distance com-
nlete when money is furnished buyes* to "move the crop. What the farmer
wSs is moTe; to hold the crop. What better security is 1there thati st ware-
house receipt for a bale of cotton, a sack of wheat or a bushel of corn aud
why will such securities not travel by the side of government bonds?
The American farmer Is a capable plowman. He always has filled and al-
ways will fill the nation s granary, larder and wardrobe, but he has nothing
to say in fixing the price of his products. The problem confronting the
er* of this nation today is marketing and its solution depends first upon the
farmer organizing for concert of action and the co-operation of financial
interests in marketing the crop. Agriculture is the bl^t business in
America and tne only one that has not a financial systtJi adapted to it* use

On Railway Investments
President Wilscn, recently referring to our railroac

our whole economic life and rallvay securities are at
the very heart of most investments, large and small, public
and private, by individuals and by institutions. * * *
There is no other interest so central to the business wel

railway company, uhen asked to outline the relation of the public to rail-
roads investments, said in part:
"It may be said that the railroad world is encumbered with a lot or
phantom™ which exist only in the popular fancy. For msti«nce.because
there have been a few so-called railroad magnates whose names ha\e fibred

of the country are largely owned bv a few rich men. As a matter of fact
nothing could l»e farther from the tru'h. Out of the colcssal sum of twenty
