"PERMANENT'' INVESTMENT CO.

The expose of the workings of the

pany IN the Chronicle was written
solely in the public interest. 1t may
be necessary for us to follow the mat
ter up with view to stopping the
parties from similar proceedings else
where. We have considerable infor-
nation on hand and we shall not be
deferred from using it by profanity
and vulgar threats of one of the men,

Osmer W. Roper, the Newark
"Get- rich-q quick" schemer, recently
convicted in the United States Court
of using the mails to defraud, was
yesterday sentenced by Judge Kirk
patrick to spend year in the Essex
County jail.
1t will be seen from the following
comment on this from the Newark
Advertiser that the Chronicle is not
lonely in it's aversion to get-rich-
quick concerns:
The sentence of one year in jail
with five months deducted and of 800
fine in the case of the heartless swim
dler, Osmer W. Roper, is inadequate.
The penalty doesn't fit the crime. Men
who organize swindling companies
and deliberately proceed to syste-
matically rob their fellow men are
entitled to no mercy in the law.
They ought to get its full punishment.

At the railroad station there were adj
ditiOns to the committee and Mr.. Bryan
and party were escorted to the New
Century hotel by a band and a number
of members of the local Grand Army
post, marching as a body.
The reception along the street was
marked by great enthusiasm and Mr..
Bryan had no sooner reached the hotel
than he was compelled to stop and
shake hands with the people there as
sembled. This ceremony required about
an hour, and when it was completed he
retired to his room for an hour of rest,
which was much needed after the al
most continuous speaking and hand
shaking which he had ben undergoing
since daylight.
At Joplin he was met by a large as
semblage of people who stood and lis
tened to the candidate talk for Is min
utes in the rain. The audience was com
posed largely of miners, and al lof them
insisted upon shaking hands with Mr..
Bryan.

teachers eject all the relatives and
friends from the house, and the corpse

this: From 100pounds of Chinese lead can
be extracted eight pounds of silver, ana

way to obtain this silver is by COM
