WHY NOT ARDMORE?
IN our columns this week we present a very interesting
and attractive list of properties situated along the Main Line,
fronl Overbrook to Devon, which is offered by the Merton
Title and Trust Company, of Ardniore, in answer to
iununlerablc calls from those anxious to seek the suburbaii
settlements as a plztce of residence during the coming spring
and summer.
For at number of years the trend of both transient and per-
manent home-seekers has been toward the hlain Line, and
this year pronlises tn be a record breaker, it one can judge
from the large number of applicants who have already sought
this locality with a view to securing a pleasant home.
In all the suburban territory there is, perllaps. no more
healthful, and certainly no lilore beautiful. place in which to
reside than our o- t I town.
other town of its ize has more conveniences than Arduiore.
With this happy couibitiatiou of circumstances. it is reason-
able to suppose that the coming season will see zi large influx
of new residents
THE DEBTS OF NATIONS
Till-‘l< is, perhaps, no nation in the world having a pub-
lic debt and that means them all-which has not been coli-
tmnted tllrollgll the instrnnicutality of u-ar. France, Great
Britain, Spain. Germany, Russia, and even the United States,
have all placed tlle heavy burden of debt which rests upon
their shonltlers through wars. And yet, in spite of past ex-
perieuces, they hate little hesitation to adtl to their existing
burdens still otllcrs, through the same unfortunate niediuui.
No country has had a more bitter experience in this direction
than France. During her war with Geriiinuy, in 1870, she
had 600,000 men in the Field The cost to her was $2.55 per m
day tor every soldier. An eminent French statistician esti-
niulcs that a general European war, such as some apprehend,
would compel France to put enough soldiers on the lighting
line. which, at an estiulated cost at present of $3 per day,
u'onl<I anionlit to S6,oon,ooo daily, in the aggregate. Is it
any wonder that a conservative administration in any country
is unwilling in these days to hastily appeal to the arbitrament I

BANKS VS. STOCKINGS.
“ONF. lesson which otir experience in connection with the
great f-ire," says the Baltimore News, “ought to impress upon
everybody who iiceds the lesson is the iiiarvellolis security
furnished to everybody, great and small, rich and poar, by
the llls'l.IIlll.ln)lI of banking. Checks are being cashed in the
regular way, and savings banks are ready to meet the de-
niaruls on them, as though there had been no fire destroying
almost the whole of the chief business section of the city and gel"
iiiakillg many of the banks tlieruselvcs homeless.
h
“It is didicult for people accustomed to the advantages mid
the security of banks to realize that there are still any per- 1
sons who, through ignorance or self-conceit, imagine that their
money is safer in a stocking tip a chimney, or under a inat-
tress, or in a b iredn drawer, than it would be if entrusted to
the keeping of a bank. Every now and then some pathetic
story is heard of the savings of a lifetime destroyed by some
actof carelessness or some unexpected accident which sweeps
away slicli a ho ird.-d treasure, either through theft or destruc-
tion. If the fire of a short time iigo had burned down great
numbers of dwellings, there would have been quite a consid-
erable clitipter of loss in the shape of accumulations of money,
which had been kept out of the banks by nver-suspicious peo-
ple, destroyed by the flames. The persons who had put
their money in banks would have fbund it all absolutely safe,
in spite of the bank buildings themselves having been burned
down-not to speak of the interest they had been drawing in
the past.
“No rlcpositor in a Baltimore bank is going to lose a peun
by the great fire of 1904. Of course. there is nothing really
remarkable about: this, as the banks last very little in the fire,
but it ought to make an impression all the same upon those
who are not impressed by what truly is remarkable about the
banking system. It is in carrying people safely through
financial storms, times that try the integrity and solidity of
business institutions HS a physical Ere does not, that the banks
show the good stuff that is in them. The record of our Bulli-
more bunks at all such times has been one that we rnayjustly
be proud of. There is no safer or better place for our people
to put their money than in any of our well-established Balti-
more banks."
BUSINESS IIONESTY.
THE opinioti is too prevalent that business is a sort of “skin
game” and that business success and honest methods are in-
eolnpatible. The class of uien who enter business life are of
a high average, and, unless the provocation to depart from
tlleir principles should he very strong, there is no reason to
believe that a considerable percentage of them would be
guilty of methods in tlleir business operations which would
not comport with the standards of personal conduct.
Business honesty, so far front lagging behind, is up to the
average of personal honesty in any community. Business is

is so generally in foriiictl as to values, that to resort to dishonest
methods is to II1lA;ll'tI one’s biisiii s career. It has become a
maxim of business that a uiercliaut uiuy lvgitiiiiately laud
his wares in an as attractive nialiucr as he pleases, and due
allowance will he nizltlc for Ilypcrbnlc of statement as long as
he does not pass the Iuiiiiitls of truth. As soon as he does
that, Ilt)ii'eVL‘l’, he rules himself out of the class of legitiuiate
tratlestnen and must depend for his living upon his wits, like
any other charlatan.
