to do it. He said he had an important appointment with his banker and was too busy. He had saved a hundred dollars earned by shining shoes and was in a hurry to give it to a financier for some phoney stock. He beamed with pride when he said, “My Banker.”
 Times certainly change.
 When I was a boy they taught people to say, “My Doctor.”
 When I was a young man they taught people to say, “My Lawyer.”
 When I was middle aged they taught people to say,“My Banker.”
 Now they teach the people to say, “My Undertaker.”
 Well, after the financiers had gotten the most of the people of the United States to mortgage their properties and buy phoney stock at exorbitant prices with the money they loaned them, they got into their yachts and went on cruises to catch some sea fish.

 These swindling financiers don’t like Lawson, but they say that he plays the game square and that anyone can believe whatever he says. “But,” they say, “those damtouts whom we buy today will sell us out tomorrow if somebody else throws them a little larger bone to chew on.
