SAFEST PLACE FOR MONEY
The opening of the New York
Stock Exchange has not been
followed by any noteworthy efforts
on the part fo European investors
to sell American securities On
the contrary, the course of the
market points to the absorption
by European buyers of many
American securities which they did
not previously own.
Is not this a natural and reason
able condition in international
business? Why should Europeans
who have part of their money in
vested in America wish t» change
that state of their affairs? Have
they not Btrong reasons for desir
ing to put a larger share of their
possessions on the side o* the At
lantic where peace reigns?
U is true that a certain number
of European owners of American
securities will sell their stocks and
bonds because they must. Their
needs will outweigh their wishes
They will part with American
stocks and bonds to meet theii
;>rossiug necessities, but only when
they must.
The natural view of Europeans
interested in American property
must be that it is the safest pro
perty, just now, in all the world.
They must feel that nowhere else
is there 60 sure a promise of peace
and national security. However
unsatisfactory some business con
ditions may be in the I'nited
States, they are much better than
the state of things in the great
countries of Europe—or the small"
ones, either.
America is the safest place for
money, and Alaska is the safest and
most promising place fcr invest
ment in America.
OLD PERILS FORGOTTEN
In the shock of a terrible acci
dent destructive to human life, says
the Cleveland Leader, L i6 often
felt and often said that the old,
simple ways of living were
safer, at least, than those which
are the product of modern inven
tions—modern improvements, as
we call them. It is frequently
asked whether or not the apparent
gains aTe real and 6olid, whether
they can be counted a protection to
life and health or must be rated
new sources of danger.
This habit of thought is the re
sult of the instant publicity given
to accidents now and the massing
in single cities of more human be
ings than formerly populated entire
states. In the old days of com
paratively isolated life iu small
villages or on separate farms, the
killing of one man was a great
sensation in his own community
but it was heard of only a com
paratively short distance from his
home.
Nevertheless the killing went on
and the maiming, also, in the sim
ple industries of that stage of
American progress. Men were
killed or crippled for life by fall
ing trees in the woods they cut
down to make room for their
crops. Horses kicked not a few
•. ictims to death, as they do now,
Runaways often caused very grave
injuries. The use of firearms,
then much more comon than it
is now, was always dangerous.
Fishing at sea is one of the in
dustries which have changed com
paratively little in the last hun- |
dred years, and today it has an
exceptionally and terribly high
mortality rate. The life of the log-1
ging crews in lumber camps is full
of danger, and work in the forests
has not become more perilous than
it was a century ago.
Complex modern civilization has
its special risks and dangers, many
of them very grave, but on the
whole it has not increased tho per
ils of life. On the contrary. Tail
road travel, mile for mile, and pas
senger for passenger, is much saf
er than riding in horse-drawn ve
hides; the steamship is far more
secure than the sailing ship °f a '.en
tirry ago, and so oil through a wide
range of human activities.
Life is safer and longer, as wel
as more crowded and hurried. The
average man or woman lives mora
in a year and lives more years thai
the rule was two or three genera
tions ago.
