HONESTY THE BEST PoLlcY7

An extremely plain statement of the
absence OF ethics in matters of high
finance is made by Mr.. Lawson in the
November instalment of 'Frenzied
Finance" In Everybody's.
"As a matter of fact" he says, syn
dicates are organized in Wall Street by
successful bankers or apitalists-men
who have made great deal of money
not by men notable for their person
al virtue and moral purity. In fact,
the latter qualities never enter into the
consideration Of those who chip in to
this form of blind pool. The head OF
the syndicate may he a slick oper.
ator who takes full advantage Of the
traditional secrecy connected with tho
syndicate, to turn over to his partners
ticular venture as will insure their
goodwill for his next. The attraction
for the others is not his honesty but
the privilege of sharing the profits he
is sue to capture. lie can charge what
he pleases for promotion costs; he car
appropriate to himself such stOcR
bonuses as may fall to his syndicate
Ee can give out that the operation has
proved loss-no one is the wiser, anl
the rule prescribes that accounts, what
ever they he, are to be considered nee
cessarily correct. Detection of rob,
berry being impossible, there has grown
up the tradition that syndicates are in.

WHAT is THE HONEST"
GAMBLER?

They do not keep books" in the in'
most financial circles, bluntly ex.
plains Mr.. Lawson in "Frenzied FL

That eminent business men," he
says, swinging great interests, should
should be in the habit of slipping their
money into a crack and. in the hope
of gain. he absolutely blind to what
happened TO it. may seem incredible.

hut never saw even an accounting Of
the transaction. 1t was the custom Of
the Street, lie said, to assume the
honesty Of the big banking-houses
which managed these syndicates,' and
he did not believe such trusts were
ever betrayed. This latter assumption
Is part Of the Wall Street fiimham.

RELAPSE INTO BARsARIsM.

An appalling criticism of the Lon.
don OF today is made by Charles Ed.
ward Russell in the November Every
body's. In the Foreword to his new
series of articles, Soldiers Of the
Common Good" Mr.. Russell says:
And It will appear as a strange
and awful fact that in the first of the
countries we are to consider in these
papers the influence of civilization has
become so weak that in the centers OF
great modern cities, surrounded by
wealth and sumptuous display, mil
lions of men and women are daily and
visibly relapsing into barbarism. After
Ia long descent from the race most
talked about and boosted Of. and after
all the aids of the most advanced mod
ern life. the fruit there Is the type OF
a dreadful creature. deformed in body
and mind, cursed with inherited dis.
ease, helpless and hopeless, bringing
into the world other creatures more
wretChed than himself, darkening the
glass of civilization with the sinister
portent of his haggard face. 1t will
appear that this product of city life
in England is increasing so rapidly
and becoming so threatening that nat.
ural commissions are formed to con-
slider him and how to mitigate the
plague of him, and yet he increases,
and yet all the excellent plans and
schemes that help others and tighten
other burdens never reach him nor di.
minish his numbers nor take from the
national life the shadow of his pres
ence. II will appear, trust, that he
Is the natural and perfect product OF
the system OF unchecked and insaua'
BILE greed, of the system of class and
caste which forms England's problem
as It forms ours, and that these sys'
tens having proceeded much farther
and existed much longer In England
than in the United States, 1t Is pos
sible for us to stop now and consider
whether we really wish to erect Step
neys and Clerkenwells in our own cit
