Enroute to Spokane, Washington, Sept. 2:!.? Ho sat down
alone in a Pullman seatt there were no crowds lo greet him
at"Mie stations along the way; he had no vetinu* of secre
taries or newspaper men with him; he wore a soft collar and
a black slouch hat and a threadbare suit of clothes; nobody
recognized him except the writer, foi in1 uhs Wtttinrri'%.
Foster, candidate for the Presidency on the ticket of the
Worker's party of America ? an avowed believer' in com
munism.
There had always been in 1
my mind a burning curiosity
to find out what the "Z" stood
for. It was a good opportun
ity to learn the answer to that
and a dozen other questions
which the advocacy of com
munism by a sane man natur
ally arouses.
"I put the *Z' in there," he saUl
with a ? tmtfe; ? "just beeauie lj
wan u<d to be different. It doesn't
stand fee anything. I just taoked I
it on one day."
There is much that's different
about the tnan William Z. Foster. '
His viewpoint on the whole poll
T tlcal situation la different. He Is
making a 16.000 mile speuking
tour all by himself and he cornea
In contact with a rumbling, dis- ;
satisfied element, and |s a keen 1
observer himself of human nar
ture and economic conditions.
"What about La Follette?" was ?
the next Question.
"Oh, he's Just a demagogue.''
replied Foster. "He represents
the capitalistic system Just as
mueh aa do the other candidates.
Only be reflects the sentiment of
the little capitalist, the element
In America which strives to rise
from the employee to the employ
er class. But ultimately they all
merge Into the capitalistic regime,
La Follette. to my mind, is the !
beet friend of the capitalist class ,
fca America. He is like socialists
,V European countries who proved
< the main obstacle to the success
\ of communism.
"Examine some of La Follette's .
prqjpsat* Why they are tame ;
compared to the proposals of men
like Btlnnes in Germany 01* the
Industrialists of other European
countries. I should hardly classi
fy La Follette as of the left. He
is closer to 'the right."
"Do you think he will poll a
btg votef"
"Yes, I do. And we are watch
ing with great interest what he
is doing for we believe the third
party which he has introduced Is
bound to stay, that it means the
gradusl breaking up of the Re
publican and Democratic parties.
1 haven't any doubt, however,
that if La Follette's group ever
does get a majority of the voters,
the big Interests will find some
way to control his movement. It
is inevitable."
"What do you think will be the
outcome of the' election?"
"1 can't see how Davis can car-'
ry many states exeept the South
and I think Coolldge Is strong but
my feeling Is that the election will
be thrown Into the House of Re
presentatives for decision. After
that no man can be sure what will
happen."
The more one talks with Foster
the more one wonders about his
environment and early training >
for he Is. such a convinced com-:
munist. so frank and open about
It, that It Is natural to Inquire
I how he came to his present views.
\ "1 was born In Massachusetts" j
he said, "and my mother was
English and my father Irish. In!
the town of Taunton, Mass.. where ,
I was born, ths first red flag of'
revolution was raised In the days
of the American revolution
againat Great Britain.
"I didn't go to school much. I
gathered my education by exten
sive resdlng. I shipped before the
mast as a youngster and rounded
Cape Horn oa a square rigger four
times. I beat my way between
New York and the Pacific coast
eight tlmee. and have mixed with
all kinds of freopte In sll kluds of
ptgdes."
Most of the conversation we
had was about communism and
novletlsm. Foster Is enthusiastic
sbeut Russian experiment end
says he bellevee ths Russlsn gov
ernment Is the strongest govern
ment In the world with the ex
ception of the Amerlcsn govern
| fcent.
JL "Isn't It odd,'' he mused, "that
4r finvernments repreeentlng two
ettremes In economic life should

Britain. France, Italy- -they are
nhaky compared to the soviet gov
ernment which Introduced disci

not be worked out. They tried so
cialism at first, for Instance,
which to my mind la thoroughly
Impractical. People In the United

MCHHO HAD FAITH IN
JOHN HOPKINS HOHPITAIj
Edenton, Sept. 24. ? Twice the
surgeons of Johns Hopkins Hos- ,
piial, Baltimore, have patched up <
the akull of George Barnes, col- j
ored, 45 years of age, of Gates
j County, and twice he has gone to
j his home in the neighboring coun- i
ty a new man. Saturday he
showed up again at Johns Hop
| kins Hospital after traTersing 600
'miles of roads, badly burned.
The XI rat accident to the negro .
happened nine years ago, when
ho wan caught in a burning house
and the roof fell on him. He was
burned and his skull was frac
tured. He was taken to Johns
Hopkins Hospital and. there he
lay for several weeks in a critical
condition' finally regaining con
sciousness and later removed to
his home in Gates County, where :
; hp recovered.
The surgeons finally brought
him around by placing a silver
plate in his skull.
A few years Inter a piece of
wood fell from the roof of a
house and struck him on the head
Again his skull was fractured, and
for the second time he went to :
i Johns Hopkins. Once more the |
doctors tinkered with his skull. j
gnd again he recovered.
On Sunday a week ago he lit j
a fire In the stove and to accel
erate the blase he poured what ,
hn thought was eoal oil on the
blaze, But It was gasoline. There
was an explosion, and his head
was badly burned. His right eye
! was closed by the burns.
His first two trips to Johns
Hopkins Hospital had given him
such a high opinion of the place 4
that he refused to permit local .
physicians to do anything to him ;
at all. Suffering badly, he board
ed a train and arHved st the toos- >
pltal.
Physicians there asked him
why he did not go to the doctors ;
down in North Carolina.
"John* Hopkins saved my life
twlct," he said. "I won't let any
body else touch me.'
Wh*n told that he might los??
the sight of the Injured eye he
grinned and said:
"I'm all right, now that I'm
here. The doctors here will fl*
me up all right.

city I'uiil Strict Attention
to the I/e<ture
Wake Forest, Sept. 24. ? There
was a subdued buzz pf excite
ment accompanied by the raising
of eye brows to indicate surprise
when I>r. N. Y. Gulley met his
first-year law class at Wake For
est today. There on tho front
seat, sitting up like the bost of
the fellows and paying strict at
tention to the lecture of Dr. Gul
ley was a demure little miss. She
is Miss Margaret Gordon of Eliz
abeth City, and Ik fired with the
ambition to write her name.in
big letters as a successful office
lawyer. 3ha was graduated from
the Elizabeth City high school Id
recent raonthe.
Under a special ruling by the
Board of trustees passed eeveral
years ago women may be admit
ted to the law classes. In fhe
thirty years o / the law school five1
women have studied under Dr.
Gulley and secured their license
to practice. Miss Gordon is the
sixth to enter the regular school I
of law.
"Some of these women students
have been among our beet stu
dents." says Dr. Gulley. "There
was MIhs Mary E. Covington of,
Monroe, for Instance. We never
had n better student."
Miss I^asshp Kelly of Franklin,
Macon county, was the first wo- (
man to secure her license after
course* here. Miss Flossie Marsh
banks, who is now in partnership
with Col. W. 8. Prevott at Eden
ton, wan the second. Miss Lottie '
Lewis, for the last two years
treasurer of Wake County, was
one of the prize students In hor
class.
When Miss Gordon entered ,
Wake Forest this year, she had
expected to pursue the first-year
academic courses preliminary to I
the regular law degree, but It j
was found that a regulation by i
the board of trustees would pro- !
hiblt her being regularly enrolled i
In academic classes. She Is.
therefore, entering Immediately
upon the first yogr In the regular
law school.

Ample Available Capital
For Industry And Trade
New President of Investment Bankorn* Association Says
Confidence and Advertising Draw All the
Money Needed Into Distribution channels
ny J. c. ROYI.K
(Coprrlgbi. ml. by I\J AdTtaot)
Cleveland. Sept. 24. ? There hi
going to be ample capital avail-14
able In the next year to meet tin
requirement* of commerce, trad**
and Industry of the United State*,
accordlnK to TlioraaH N. Dysart.
of St. I*ouls. who will be the next I
president of the Investmvnt Hank
r*. MBifTTiat Inn nf Annul"! nn v
in convention here. Two things, '
Mr. Dyaart said, are going to,
brlnx this needed capital Into j
channels of dl*trlbutlon--conn
denre and advertising.
"The Investor* of the country
both small and great, are getting
to know their bankers better and
u?e them more," Mr. Hysurt add
ed. "They have found that reli
able Investment bankers can give1
them the same expert advice In
making their dollars work efflci-l
ently and sufely for them that a 1
consulting mechanical. Induntrlal.
electrical or mining engineer .
gives his client*.
"They know that no reputable
banker willingly ????? his. patrons
put thuir fund* Into uncartalu In* 4
vestments. If they lose money,
he loses a client and without cli
ents fro would miuii cense to be nn
investment banker. Members of
the Investment Hankers' Asaocla
tlon hold firm to the policy not 1
only that those with Idle dollar*
should Invest them but that they
should Investigate both the secur
ities they buy and the house
through which they buy them. 1
"This hss established a confi
dence on the part of those whose ?
money will serve In the future to
keep the wheel* of American In
dustry at a faster pace. Confl- 1
donc? will undoubtedly be j
strengthened by the campaign of
advertising and education which
the association and Its members
have In view."
An idea of what widespread ef- j
feet this campaign Is to have on
American buainess can be gath
ered from the feet that the Invest
ment houses belonging to th* as
sociation have aold a total of more
than $90,000,000,000 of Invest
ment securities, the money from
which has put new life blood In
the veins of Industry. In the first
eight months of 1924. the new
financing In the form of bond* and
Investment stocks placed has to
talled more than $3,644,000,000
Of thin stlm over $1,260,000,000
was In municipal securities. Tub- 1
lie utility stocks and bonds sc
counted for over $1,000,000.
There Is every reason to believe
that the new capital Which will go
Into the buainess of the United
States by next January 1 will ex
ceed $6,000,000,000.
The men responsible for the ln
veatment of the larger part of th In
great aum of the public s money
are placing increasing stress on
the necessities that Investment se
curities shall be secure as far as
the Investor Is concerned. Mr. Dy
sart. who will hold the helm of
the association craft for the com
ing year. Ii known as the sponsor
of one of the blue sky laws which
have teeth In It. Warren H. Hay
den of Cleveland also placed em
phssls on the necessity of safety
today In speaking of "moral risk."
"Beyond material resources,"
he said, "there are Intangible ele
ments of security which those who
have a hand Iq Investing the pub )
lie's money ought to think about.
When one lends money, which, In.
effect tho Investor does, he be- !
Ueves the debtor will be *ble and
willing to pay. but back of that
wllllngneas he expects that there
will be a sense of obligation to 1
pay. That Is what we must have
In mind when we talk of 'moral
risk.' We have faith In moral I
worth. The basis for that faith
la our belief that in each locality
there are Intelligent, well Intend-'
Ing. well Informed Individuals, I
conspicuously placed or otherwise. ;
who In the end determine what
opinion shall be In that commun?
Ity and who are certain to see to
It that the moral risk of legiti
mate Investment shall not only be
safe today or reasonably so. bu*
that It shall be better as time goes
on."
Oeorgo Caldwell of New York,
founder of the association, de- <
clared that Investment bsnklng
today Is conducted entirely with
the thought of safety and not the
thought of speculation
John W. Prentiss of New York.!
retiring president of the assocls
tlon, said:.
''We all know that one of the
quickest ways to get the atten
tion of the public Is by advertis
ing. We have all seen great In
dustrie* built up almost entirely
through advertising We l?*ve
something to **ll to the public.
In order to sell successfully onr
goods to the public, we must first
sell otirselve*. sell the honesty of
our buslne**. sell the economic
nece*sl|y of our business and sell
the Idea to the public thst If they
are going to buy securities, the
flrst thing they want to do. Is go
