HEW TO THE LINE.
PRESIDENT THEO. ROOSEVELT AND PROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
Since the simple and unimportant incident of President Roosevelt and Professor Washington dining together at the White House, we have become more fully convinced than ever that the great mass of the American people both white and black, are perfectly ignorant of the history of this republic; that they have no taste for reading solid literature; that their reading consists largely of the Police Gazette and other sensational and trashy newspapers and books. For if they were familiar with the affairs of this country or with the works and writings of its great historians, they would or could learn that Thomas Jefferson was the first President of the United States to invite a member of the African race to dine at the White House with him.
Benjamin Banneka, author and publisher of the first American almanac, and one of the most profound scholars, astronomers and mathematicians, was the Negro who had the pleasure of enjoying a repast with President Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson did not only eat with Mr. Banneka, while serving as Presiden of the whole people, but he wrote that distinguished Negro a letter, wherein the third President thanked him for a copy of his almanac, which he sent to the Academy of Sciences at Paris. Mr. Jefferson concluded his letter to Mr. Banneka by saying: "Nobody wishes more than I do, to see such proofs as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethren talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing only to the degraded condition of their
existence, both in Africa and America. I can add, with truth, that no one wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the condition, both of their body and mind, to what it ought to be." Benjamin Banneka assisted the commissioners to survey and lay out the District of Columbia; his reputation as a student of history extended all over the world; he could speak five different languages; he was master of the arts and the sciences, and when he passed away his death was greatly mourned throughout America and Europe.
President Grant was the next to invite a Negro to eat with him at the White House, and J. Milton Turner was thus honored. President Hayes had Fred. Douglass at his private dinner table once or twice; but it remained for the last great Democratic President, Grover Cleveland, to brush all formalities aside and invite Fredrick Douglass and his white wife to a diplomatic dinner at the White House, which was attended by all the foreign ministers, and the high dignitaries of this country, and Mr. and Mrs. Douglass mingled with President and Mrs. Cleveland and their distinguished guests with the greatest ease and freedom. President Cleveland did not attempt to sneak Mr. and Mrs. Douglas into the White House through the side door, like President Roosevelt did with Professor Washington, and entertain them privately, but on the contrary they were on the same level with all the rest of his guests.
But it is entirely immaterial to us whether Prof. Booker T. Washington was the first or the only Negro to dine with President Roosevelt or with any other President. The great, or we might say, the question which overshadows all other questions is: What does President Roosevelt propose doing towards improving and bettering the condition of the American Negro? That is the great question. Will he speak out against those who joined in the race riot which occurred down in Louisiana a few days ago! We fear not. Will he, as President of the whole people, say to the Southern people that they shall not, nor they must not continue to disfranchise the Negro, and permit ignorant white men to vote? No. President Roosevelt is a wily politician of the first water and he does not propose to say one word or do one thing which would tend to disabuse the minds of the whites of the South of the prejudicial ideas that they entertain in relation to permitting
---
the Negro to have a voice in the affairs of this government. To all intents and purposes President Roosevelt even after he has dined with Professor Washington, will adhere to President McKinley's Southern policy, namely, to crush out, distranchise, brutalize and throw overboard the Negroes of the South, and hold or retain the Negro voters of the North.
As the great champion of industrial education we entertain the highest respect for Prof. Booker T. Washington, but as the great and only leader of the Afro-American race, we think he is a failure; he is unlike Toussaint L'Ouverture, who found his race in fetters and chains when he appeared on earth, but before Toussaint L'Ouverture left it he secured absolute freedom for his people and founded a government for them which has stood for one hundred years. When Prof. Booker T. Washington assumed the leadership of the Negro race he found them voting in all the states, but if he is not very careful and if he fails to thunder forth against the unspeakable and villainous outrages and wrongs heaped upon the Negro, he will leave them disfranchised by all the states throughout the Union.
RECONSTRUCTION SURE.
The great tragedies that find publicity through the press, and which electrify the nation, are not the only great nor most momentous tragedies in life. In every city of the land the mourners are going about the streets, a solemn, silent protest against the inhumanity of the age, which robs many of all that is lovely, needful and theirs of right in a land of liberty, and, lacking which, makes of life a tragedy. To keep soul and body together, hundreds of thousands of children are compelled to toil for mere pittances. They may be seen morn and night, in any metropolis, wearily wending their way to and from the juggernaut of all-but-unrequited labor, which, day by day, slowly crushes the fettered spirit and wastes as surely the fragile frame. These, indeed, are tragedies. Every novel of the slums, moreover, is a medieval horror. Indeed, the dark ages produced effulgence in comparison to the gloom of despair that exists there. The slums contain tragedy coalescent, tragedy conglomerate. Hope has fled; virtue is fleeting; crime is industry.
But there is also the tragedy of success, of greed, of tyranny. The system which makes misery, want and ruin the portion of many, is the greatest tragedy of "civilization." The moneypower creates more tyrants than saints; and when it usurps the functions of government, it transforms citizens into serfs. In our own country, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is slowly vanishing. Republicanism is becoming capitalism. War is banishing the spirit of peace.
But through all the disquieting clouds that darken the national horizon, there is a ray of hope that comes to cheer each patriot heart. The fundamental principles of our government are imperishable. A brighter, better and stronger Democracy is taking collossal form, and the common people, of which it is composed, will arise and drive out the money-changers from the temple of liberty, re-inaugurate a government of, for and by the people, and build an economic system upon the broad foundations the fathers laid, more closely cognizant of the needs of the age, demolishing the barriers which exist between class and class, guaranteeing "equal rights to all, special privileges to none," and removing the causes which make of life a tragedy for thousands and a saturnalia for a few. This is the destiny to which this land was set apart. Its attainment is as sure as the word of Omnipotence.—The Free Press, Manti, Utah.
NO NEGROES INVITED TO DINE.
It is noticeable that while most of our leading Republican politicians are warm in their declarations that they would gladly entertain a Negro at dinner none of them point to any occasion on which they have done so.—Indianaapolis Sentinel.
HON. JOHN E. TRAEGER.
United States Senator William E. Mason will preside at the meeting of the United Irish Societies which will be held at the Auditorium Tuesday evening, Nov. 24.

"It is significant that Mr. Booker T. Washington should suggest a refutation of some of the remarks credited to him in his interview with the President at the White House on Southern appointments and a denial by his private secretary of any reported interview anent the Roosevelt dinner that might to sent out by ambitious but unauthorized newspaper correspondents. We say significant because when Mr. Washington was in Chicago, during the meeting of the members of the National Negro Business Men's League, he positively refused, though beseeched by newswriters, to express an opinion on the Pierce City (Mo.) outrage, lest the meaning he might wish to convey be misconstrued in the public prints. Why Walter Wellman, perhaps the most reliable newspaper correspondent in America, should make Mr. Washington appear in the dirty garb of a politician, we cannot understand, and are at a loss of words for explanation."
—Indianapolis World.
It must be remembered that Prof. Booker T. Washington was a delegate to the Republican National Convention held at St. Louis in 1896, that during the proceedings of the convention he was slated to second the nomination of Thomas B. Reed, but Mark Hanna bought up most of the colored delegates who came up from the South shouting for Reed, and free silver, and the result was that Reed's presidential boom collapsed and Prof. Washington was not called upon to second his nomination, but after Major McKinley's election to the presidency, T. Thomas Fortune, who is the bosom friend of Prof. Washington says that "Prof. Washington was very anxious to become a member of President McKinley's cabinet," and from that time to the present Prof. Washington has assumed the responsibility of advising the President how to shape his Southern policy, how to fill the appointive offices in the South, etc. Yet Prof. Washington would like to make the ignorant people believe that he is not in politics.
But it appears to us that Prof. Washington is endeavoring to accomplish the audacious feat of riding two separate and distinct political horses in opposite directions at the same time. He may possess diplomacy enough to do so, but we doubt it.
Alderman Henry L. Fick, whose big heart is generally always in the right place, will have no opposition or trouble in being returned to the ity council from the Ninth Ward next spring.

CAPITALISM AND RACE HATRED. What was "the most damnable outrage ever perpetrated by an American citizen?" The assassination of President McKinley? Not at all. The "most damnable outrage" was the act of President Roosevelt in "sending an invitation to a Negro, Booker T. Washington." to dine at his private table in the White House. At least that is the opinion of a Tennessee newspaper, the "Memphis Scimitar." The "Scimitar" is not an anarchistic publication by any means. It s thoroughly orthodox in its capitalism so far as its lights permit. In Booker T. Washington it can now see only a "nigger," but that is a deficiency of education, which time will remedy. When it discovers that an educated "nigger" can be made extremely useful to the capitalist class as a decoy duck, to keep the colored race in line as a bulwark for present conditions, the "Scimitar" will trans form the "damnable outrage" into a somewhat disagreeable but necessary expedient, and the development of modern industry in the South will become the most potent factor in causing the "Scimitar" to modify its expressions on such matters.
The Southern capitalist may at present despise and hate the "nigger," but when he is confronted with a rebellious workingclass and a growing socialist movement which is always a result of modern industry, he will feel more and more inclined to swallow his pride and admit that concessions to a "nigger" like Booker T. Washington, may become at times exceedingly appropriate and expedient.-The Workers Call, Chicago.
Leon F. Czolgoss was electrocuted in Auburn Prison Tuesday morning, Oct. 29, for murdering President McKinley, and by putting him to death the curtain in the last act or scene of the national drama was rung down. Czolgoss was a hero to the very last. He would not repent of his crime, he did not want the priests or preachers, nor no one else to pray and sing for him: he met his fate like a brave and courageous stoic. We greatly admire men of the stamp of Czolgoss, for he possessed the bravery and the manhood to cling to his honest convictions while he stood on the brink of eternity.
Alderman Charles Martin intends giving up the ghost in the Fifth Ward and he will retire from the citycouncil in the springtide, and it now looks as though ex-Alderman James J. McCormick, will again button on his large aldermanic diamond star after next April.
GEORGE J. TERRELL, KING OF THE GAMBLERS AND BLACKLEGS, ASSAULTED JULIUS F. TAYLOR.
Wednesday morning last, while passing along on 47th street, near the corner of Armour avenue, George J. Terrell, the cheap gambler and the low crap-shooter, who is apparently backed up by S. A. T. Watkins, and all the dead-beats and the other tough element residing in that vicinity, caught hold of our right arm and attempted to prevent us from going about our business, but we freed our arm from his grasp and warned him not to put his big, dirty hands on us. Then this king of the gamblers and head pusher of those who hang out in bawdy houses, picked up a large brickstine, which are being used for paving 47th street, and Terrel, who wants to make the cheap little white politicians of the 30th Ward believe that he totes all the "niggers" around in his hip pocket, raised the brick above his rattle-brained and empty head as though he would hit us in the face with it.
But the bully and coward was afraid to do so. In the meantime we have placed our account against this nameless creature in the hands of County Constable Robert T. Sims, for collection, and dead-beat Terrell may hear something drop before long.
CHIPS.
The colored man or woman who reads race journals can get the pure unadulterated gospel of true racial elevation.
William C. Lawson, who is in the swim around the Criminal Court building, is freely mentioned for treasurer of Cook County.
William Still, author of "The Underground Railroad," and the last surviving colored member of the Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia, celebrated his eightieth birthday anniversary this month.
O'Gara, King & Co., Baker Brothers, and William Kuecken & Co., have been awarded the contract for supplying all the coal for the institutions of Cook County. O'Gara, King & Co. received the largest slice of the cake. Many of the politicians are in favor of Ernest Hummel, the prince of the German-American Democrats, for County Treasurer. Mr. Hummel, if nominated, could be elected, for he is a good mixer and popular with all classes.
The political party that avoids declaring itself in plain terms on public questions through fear of losing votes is no more to be depended upon than the man who refrains from stealing only when he is afraid of being detected in the act.—The Commoner.
Lawyer S. A. McElwee, late of Nashville, Tenn., and his family, are now settled down to housekeeping at 3153 Forest avenue, where they will be delighted to receive their friends. Mr. McElwee's law offices are in the Ogden Building, 36 South Clark street.
There is much talk going on among all the leading politicians in favor of James A. Quinn, City Sealer of Chicago, for secretary of the new Democratic County Central Committee. Mr. Quinn's selection for that position would be eminently satisfactory to all factions.
If the Negro preacher would not preach so much about Daniel in the lion's den and the three Hebrew boys, but preach more plain and practical sermons to the people and tell them to do unto others as they wish to be done by, we would have a better people and a better race.—Ex.
Mr. John Kunz, the present chief Deputy Sheriff of Cook County, has a very strong following among the German-Americans and other nationalities who are urging him to make the race for sheriff, and it is said that Mr. Kunz will become an active candidate for that office.
Last Saturday night the Tilden Democracy perfected permanent organizations in all the wards of the city, and Mr. Walter S. Bogle, chairman of its city central committee feels cocksure that the Tilden Democracy will win out in the city and county at the next primaries.
n
Attorney William Peacock, who made such a grand run for Congress last year is entitled to have the same honor conferred upon him next year, and it is our opinion that in case Mr. Peacock was re-nominated for Congress, that he would come out far ahead under the wires.
President Roosevelt has broken bread with a Negro, and the Southern white aristocracy has had a fit. As the President has not invoked a coal miner or a bricklayer to dine the White House the Northern capitalists are inclined to view the incident with some degree of complacency.—Ex.
Ex-Judge A. A. Goodrich attended a meeting of the Tilden Democracy held in the Sixth Ward last Thursday night, and the next morning Mayor Harrison demanded his resignation as one of the inspectors at the Bridewell. From now on the fight between the city hall forces and the Tildenites promises to be mighty hot and very bitter.
The Negroes of the twentieth century must be men and women in the fullest sense of the word. The multitude of public schools and the many opportunities for acquiring education renders reference to an unfortunate bondage of grand parents more than an extension. The Negro must get himself into the spirit of the age.—Ex.
The grand jury reindicted Robert H. Burke, the ex-city oil inspector. It also threw the hooks into Max Prager, who has been Mr. Burke's chief assistant, and he will have to stand trial along with his late boss for conspiracy. Lieutenant Peter J. Joyce walked out of Judge Ball's court a free man on Thursday, and he owes his good luck to his able attorney, Col. A. D. Gash.
One more Negro was sent to the great beyond on Thursday, at Hodgenville, Ky., by a mob of respectable white citizens. These honorable citizens hung Silas Easters, the Negro, riddled his body with bullets, not because he had outraged a white woman, but they committed that crime against Easters, and against the law, simply because he had had a dispute or some trouble with a white man.
Congressman John J. Feely, president of the Tilden Democracy, who re-nominated Mayor Carter H. Harrison in the last city convention, and his honor, the mayor, have crossed swords through the columns of the public press this week, and while Mayor Harrison is no novice when it comes to slinging mud at those who manifest a disposition not to holler and shout for him and Mr. Boss Burke; but Mayor Harrison is no match for Congressman Feely, and all hands are free to confess that his honor came out of the scrap considerably worsted, that the boy congressman is too much for the present mayor of Chicago.
Next Tuesday elections will be held in Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Virginia and New York. Owing to this fact United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who thought President Grover Cleveland was a traitor to his country for wanting to return the old flags to the exrebels, but in his opinion President McKinley was a saint worthy to be canonized for doing the same thing, declared on the political stump in Ohio the other day, that President Roosevelt was a great statesman because he eat dinner with Prof. Booker T. Washington, or words to that effect. At the time President Roosevelt and Professor Washington chewed and drank together we had forgotten about the state elections, but now we are able to see through the scheme. President Roosevelt, who claimed that Negro soldiers are no good unless they are officered by small-brained white men and that they would not do their duty until he threatened to blow the tops of their heads off with his big pistols, labors under the impression that he can whip all the independent Negroes back into line for Grand Old Lily White Parade of disfranchisement by throwing a cent lunch into Prof. Booker T. Washington's belly.

‘ ‘Many troubles.
‘Colored ‘stockings often have been ac-
cused of causing poisoning. Not only
= cause eruptions on the
legs, but In wome casts poisonous ms-
tem.’ Arsenic, which im the early days
of aniline dyes was often present, used
‘to be the imcr-micated .metal. This,
however, is a mode of arsentcal poison-
ing of which very little has been heard
for many years, Now it is tin which
is arraigned... A case ts reported from
‘Vienna of a woman who suffered from
attacks of partial paralysis in the low-
er extrometies, with anacsthesia, a
sense of coldness and ataxic gait. She
bad noticed that whenever these symp-
‘toms Were most pronounced her feet
‘were colored yellow, aud it was found
‘that this staining was derived from
the light yellow silk stockings which
she wore. On analysing these they
were found to contain quantities of
tin. -Careful chemical examination of
the excreta showed that they also con-
tained tin, so that whatever may bave
been the cause of the symptoms there
could be no doabt that the patient had
tin in ber system. The moral seems
to be that persons who perspire should

How the Paving Value of Asphalt Was
, ‘Brought to Notice.
All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt, are im fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with -the use of the natural rock as-
phalt from the mines in the Val de
‘Travers, Canton Neufchatel, Switzer-
land. The mines were. discovered in
1721, but It- was in 1849 that its utility
as a road covering was first noticed.
‘The rock was then being mined for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con-
tained tn it for its-use in medicine and
the arts. It is a limestone found im-
pregnated with bitumen, of which it
yields, on analysis, from 8 to 14 per
cent. It was observed that pieces of
Tock which fell from a wagon were
crushed by the wheels,-and under the
combined influence of the traffic and
heat of the sun a good road surface
‘was produced. A macadam read of
asphalt rock was then made, which
gave very good results, and finally, in
1854, a portion of the Rue Bergere was
Jaid in Paris of. compressed asphalt os
@ concrete foundation. In 1858 a still
larger sample was lid, and from that
‘time it has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Parts it extended to Lon-
don, being laid on ‘Threadneedle street
in 1869°anéd Cheapside in 1870, and is
successive years on other streets.
Teimecinative.
The impression has been general
that the Latin races are peculiarly im-
aginative. Mr. Marion Crawford holds
an opposite view. According to his
experience, people. of very temperate
climates are the reverse of imagina-
tive. It is only in the extreme. north
and in the south thst this quality of
the mind is highty developed. Crawford
aséerts that the Italian people have lit-
tie imagination, and cites as proof of
this the Italian custom of presenting
the story of Bethlehem on Christmas
day with figures of various sizes, He
thinks the use of these figures to aid
the ‘imaginative proves the imagins-
tion defective. Fairy stories and ghost
stories are practica.ly unknown among
the Italians, whe are incapable of ée-
te draw these pictures for them. To

‘The four or five hours that the affair
lasted were cramuied with incident,
but they were redolent of local color,
infused with rare autumn sunlight un-
der the fresh smell of Canadian pines,
with the exhilarating breezes of val-
‘Jeys and uplands, that are more buoy-

The duke and duchess learned what
Canada really means, what the life of
its voyageurs, the sports that are most
Rational, the appearance of its every-
Gay folk.
To summarize the- day's events, the
@uke and duchess shot the timber

plain did three centuries ago, saw voy-

the finish of a great race of war ca-

typical speech from a habitant, fore-

An Exciting Trip.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the royal
party. was conveyed to Booth’s lum-
ber yards on a trolley car of sump-
tuous finish, especially built for the
oceasion. They walked down an ave-
nue flanked by towering piles of odor-
ous pine boards to ine head of the tim-
ber slides above Chaudiere falls. Here
six cribs, the units of the great rafts

many autograph albums were sent to

request was almost invariably granted.
One album iaid before the

He took his pen and wrote under it,
“William McKinley,” and sent the al-

Many persons with delicate skin suffer
greatly in winter from chapping. Fre-
quently the trouble arises from the use
of impure soap and cheap selves. The
face and hands should be washed only in

THE STORY OF SOME WONDERFUL
MINES IN COLORADO.
‘When gold was first found near Central City, in
Colorado, there was a rush from all of the Eastern
States to the gold diggings of the Rocky Mountains.
Fortunes were quickly made, the Greggory-Bobtail
producing $10,000,000.00 in an incredibly short time,
and many other mines producing vast sums of money.
Very soon people began prospecting the higher peaks,
going up as far as the main range or back-bone
of the Rockies. On one of these high mountains
was found some very rich ore carrying gold, lead
and silver, and a number of assays of this o:v gave
an average value of $827.48 per ton. This produced
such aa excitement that soon the entire mountain
was covered with prospectors staking off claims.
The result was that a large number of claims were
located, each man securing only a smal] piece of
ground, in fact so small that no owner could afford
to work his property at any great depth, hence only
the surface of these rich ore bodies has ever been
mined. One ofthese mines discovered in 1866, called
the Stevens, produced nearly $2,000,000 in its first
thousand feet, being the only ore body worked at
any depth. The other mines were worked to a depth
of from 100 to 400 feet anf the work stopped be-
cause each owner had so little territory it. would not
justify placing heavy machinery on it to prosecute
work. Near this territory and in the same belt of
veins were located other mines, and one compan¥
sechring a large group was justified in working at
great depth, consequently making enormous sums of
money. The Dives-Pellican, now down 2,200 feet,
has proved the perpetuity of our fissure veins, and
has produced more than $i2,000,000.00 and the Colo-
rado Central $5,000,000.00, and many other fortunes
were made. And yet the richest ground and the
largest surface ore bodies were those that have never
been worked more than the 100 to 400 feet in depth.
For a dozen years past one man has been buying
up all of these mines and grouping them into one
immense combination. The Stevens group repre-
sents now 28 patented mines and mill sites, cover-
ing 117 acres, and the Independence group nearly the
sane amount of territory, while the Waldorf group
covers about 400 acres of the richest mineral terri-
tory of the whole Rocky Mountain region. The Wal-
dorf company has now purchased. the Stevens and
Independence groups, practically owning today all
of this old and rich mineral ground. When these
mines were originally found and worked there was
no railway or market within 700 miles for the ore,
while all of the mining supplies, powder, candles,
tools, provisions, furniture, were freighted from the
Missour! River in ox teams at the enormous cost of
25..cents per pound. Notwithstanding such condi-
Reasons Why You Should Buy Some Waldorf Mining Stock.
First — Yor hare sared a little money which you
eannot invest safely and get any reasonable profit.
Second—You cannot lose money in this stock and
you will safely make 50 per cent per annum on your
investment, with the chances in your favor of even
much larger profit.
“Third—The management of the company is eco-
nomical, experienced, honest, and always succeeds,
and has the strongest banking and other indorse-
ments. ;
Fourth.—The ordinary risks of mining are elimi-
mated from this enterprise because we own nearly

tions these ore bodies were so large and rich that
they paid splendid profits to their owners until they
struck water and were compelled to stop work until
expensive machinery could be obtained. The Ste-
vens group, FS ee ee eae has
nearly two and one-half miles‘of drifts ard tunnels,
making about one and one-half miles of ore in the
various levels. The Independence group has about
one and one-half miles of work and the original
Waldorf group the same. The Waldorf company,
now owning all of these mines, covers with its ter-
riwory fully one hundred mines or ore bodies, mak-
ing the largest combination of mines owned by one
company in the State of Colorado. The stock of
this company last January was only 8 cents per
share, now it is 25 cents per share, showing an in-

little doubt that the stock will be worth $1.00
per share in twelve months more. The company is
now running three large tunnels from three sides
of the mountain, which will open these mines at a
depth of 2,000 feet, and which will undoubtedly give
the greatest ore reserves in the history of mining.
On the Mendham mine one man has produced $1,000
per month.
On the Commonwealth one man has produced as
high as $1,600.00 per month. ;
The Johnson mine has produced $350,000.00 in
about 350 feet in depth.
The Independence mine has been the largest pro-
ducer in the group.
The Tobin tunnel! is run on the Independence vein,
and three weeks ago we opened a fine body of high-
grace ore which will greatly increase our output
during 1902. .
The ores of the company run from $40.00 per ton
to $1,900.00 per ton.
The average of all ore from our district last year
was $109.00 per ton.
The Independence group has been worked only
from 100 to 400 feet in depth and yet has produced
nearly $1,000,000.00.
The company now owns territory about 3,000 feet
in width by 9,000 feet in length, covering the entire
en ee ae
welt of veins at their most points, and
2.80 Owns tae large tannels which’ are developing
these mines at a great depth.
There is no other enterprise in the East or West
which offers so safe and profitable investment, and
there never was a time when Eastern people had a
better opportunity to make comfortable fortunes out
of ema)l investments.
