PUBLISHER’S DESK 
E. G. Lewis, the famous feminine 
mesmerist, complains that The R. 
N.-Y. misrepresents his high and noble 
aspirations, so we think it may be well 
to confine ourselves to some of his own 
conflicting language and let him explain 
the contradictions. On December 21, in 
National Daily, he said: 
For some time past the subscription list 
of the National Daily has been growing 
at an average rate of 5,000 new subscrip¬ 
tions per day. Nothing like it was ever 
before known in journalism. 
On December G in the same paper he 
said: 
Monday’s mail was . the largest single 
day’s business ever received by the League. 
It had already reached over $20,000 by 
noon, when this issue of the daily went to 
press. 
During the same time St. Louis at¬ 
torneys were trying to collect from 
Lewis the claims of some of our sub¬ 
scribers who sent him their hard-earned 
savings years ago under promises of 
making them rich from the profits. To 
these attorneys he wrote: 
The mails are rotten. We are not get¬ 
ting in cash enough to pay running ex¬ 
penses. 
Lewis will hardly say that this state¬ 
ment misrepresents him. He will hardly 
bring a libel suit on it, because he knows 
that it is his own language in black 
and white. Did he lie to the noble 
women who are sending him money or 
to the attorneys who were trying to get 
back money for women who lost their 
nobility according to Lewis when they 
asked him to return the money they 
sent him years ago under promises that 
he would make them rich ? The women, 
when they are sending him money, are 
noble, generous specimens of woman¬ 
hood ; when they ask for an accounting 
of it or demand its return, they become 
in his terms traitors and detainers. 
John A. Weitzel, of the Weitzel 
Novelty Plating Company, Lancaster, 
Pa., was recently arrested for using the 
mails to defraud. 
The Live Stock Insurance Company, 
Syracuse, New York, have had two 
judgments recently docketed against 
them in the amount of $211.08. They 
have given a bill of sale of office fur¬ 
niture for $125 to Robert Orely. This 
for the information of several inquirers 
previously recorded. 
During the past year or two we have 
had many inquiries about the Aremu 
Mining Company and the South Ameri¬ 
can Gold Company, advertised and pro¬ 
moted by Gaylord Wilshire in his so¬ 
cialist magazine. These people seemed 
to think that Mr. Wilshire’s securities 
must be an exception to the general 
class of paper and publisher's securities 
that we have advised our people to let 
alone. Now it is reported that these 
propositions have been under investi¬ 
gation by Federal authorities and that 
the public has contributed some $3,000,- 
000. Mr. Wilshire, it is reported, has 
taken up residence abroad and is not 
likely to be on this side of the Atlantic 
for some time. Bear all this in mind 
when other publishers have great oppor¬ 
tunities of investment for the dear 
reader. One by one the publishers who 
win the confidence of their readers only 
to gather in for their own purposes the 
small savings of the poor, add their 
testimony to our advice to let such pro¬ 
positions alone. 
Will you please inform me what my 
prospects are of making 100 per cent per 
year on my investment in buying land in a 
small way, land situated in New Mexico 
and sold by the Western Irrigated Land 
and Orchai-d Co., 47 West 42d Street, New 
York City? Also please give me some in¬ 
formation in regard to the S. Ranch, Crys¬ 
tal City, Texas. g. r. e. 
Vermont. 
The prospects of realizing 100 per cent 
profit per year on any land purchase is 
to the prospect of losing the whole in¬ 
vestment about in the proportion of 
.000,001 for the profit to 1,000,000 for 
the total loss. This would be one 
chance of the profit to 1,000,000,000,000 
chances for total loss. Most well in¬ 
formed critics would say our estimate 
for possible profit would be too liberal, 
but figuring one transaction a year, the 
repeated losses will probably cure most 
of us of this kind of investment before 
reaching the limit of chances. If you 
have any money to invest in lands, you 
will find a more profitable investment 
in Vermont than in New Mexico or 
Texas. If you were a resident of these 
sections some promoter would be making 
you tempting propositions for invest¬ 
ments in New England, which with 
your present information does not ap¬ 
peal to you. In other words, promoters 
always capitalize the want of informa¬ 
tion or ignorance of the people as to the 
schemes they promote. Again we cau- 
THE RURA.I> NEW-YORKER 
tion: Don’t buy land anywhere until 
you have examined the land and been 
informed on the conditions of its en¬ 
vironment.

half share common stock. International

New York. eeadeu. 
If you want to find the value of such 
paper investments just ask your bank 
what they would pay you for them, if 
you now owned them. No experienced 
investor would put his money into such 
things purely as an investment. The 
first is a publishing company stock with 
an authorized million dollar capital. The 
company simply holds title to the publica¬ 
tion, which has been rented to another 
company to publish, all under the con¬ 
trol of Herbert Myrick. In this way 
the stock can be manipulated so as to 
make it pay dividends high or low or not 
at all, just as policy or interest dictates. 
If you accept the building certificates as 
a mortgage or lien on a building, you 
will not get what you expect. In 
effect they are notes, partaking some¬ 
thing of the nature of a contract, and 
there is a string to the seven per cent at 
that. Lewis would call them “deben¬ 
tures.” Suppose you lived near a fac¬ 
tory and wanted to sell culled apples to 
the workingmen’s families, and you 
would like to borrow some of their sav¬ 
ings at the same time. If you offer them 
the apples they will compare the fruit 
with apples offered by other growers, 
and you may lose the sale. If you ask 
them to loan you their money on notes, 
they are likely to ask you for security. 
Then comes your genius for business 
and frenzied finance. It would be a 
good stroke to borrow the money and 
sell the apples all at once. So you print 
up a nice piece of paper and call it a 
Barn Certificate, promise to pay a _ big 
rate of interest, but make sure that it is 
all or partly payable in culled apples, and 
make it appear an object to continue to 
buy your apples. If, without your say¬ 
ing so in so many words, they get the 
notion that the certificate is a lien on the 
barn, it will only make them the more 
willing to have them, and if the barn is 
really in your wife’s name so much the 
safer—for you. Such things work out all 
right for one party to the contract; but 
be careful that you are not put in the 
position of the factory workman. Your 
children may learn to like good apples. 
In previous issues we have referred to 
the other investments. When you part 
with your money for an investment, see 
that you get something in exchange for 
it that has a ready market value and no 
strings to its income. That is a rule for 
a good investment. J. J. d.
