ARE WE THE EASIEST MARKS

Mankind, and especially the American
part of 1t, has a positive desire to be
swindled. There can Be no doubt OF It.
Disrael referred to the Inhabitants Of
the United States as the most susceptible
people on earth. and the assertion was

1t is not the language Of exaggeration.
but simple truth, to assert that a scheme
to capitalize Captain Kids treasure would
find a market for its stock right here in
Chicago. 1t may be said with equal truth
that such a project would be conservative
and promising of substantial returns as
compared with enterprises which are now
advertising their stocks in this community
and selling them. too. Money is so plenty
and human greed is so short-sighted that
the confidence man cannot make his bait
too gross. The gudgeons will bite at any
thing.
Men do not gather grapes Of thorns nor
figs OF thistles. yet men can be persuaded
through the medium OF spread-eagle adj
stocks at So a share which are actually
worth thrice that sum. 1t is as IL a man
were to announce that he would sell gold
eagles for g each.
In such a case the buyer would be mighty
careful TO see that he was really getting a
gold eagle. In the instance cited he takes
the sellers word that the stock is worth
80. He credits the bunco man with phi
lanthrophy and altruism positively angelic
and hands In his money to people whom
he never heard of before.
II goes without saying that he never
hears of his money again until the post
office authorities swoop down upon the
bunco game with fraud order and the
local police hale the confidence men on to
strong quarters on a charge OF swindlinK
Yet the next swindler who happens along
with money enough to hire an once and

Injunction to Restrain Payment for Work

INSURANCE COMMITTEE REPORT READ,

VIII BE Compelled TO Raise
Rates AZ Report IL Enacted
Into Law.
(From a stan Correspondent


DIES MONIES, Sept. S.-(Special. )--John
o. staley today asked the district court to
issue an Injunction against the state pay
Ing for the binding of official registers
done outside the state. The hearing was
before Judge A. II. Mcvey and the court
set September II at 2 O'Clock as the time
for hearing the application. Staley has
been president of the Trades Assembly of
this city, is now alderman from the Sixth
ward and the publisher Of a union labor
weekly paper here. The offlcial registers
for this year are being bound in Chicago
and Staley charges that It is contrary to
the statutes to have 1t done outside the
state. He asks for an injunction against
Secretary of State w. d. Martin approving
the work. against Auditor Carroll drawing
the warrants for the payment and against
the state treasurer from paying the same.
Nearly all the work is completed now In
Chicago and most of the bound volumes
have been delivered In this city. STATE
Binder Tedford is not in the city today,
but those familiar with the work declare
that 1t was sent to Chicago after Iowa
firms had refused to take the work. The
state pays cents a copy for the binding
Of the first 10000 copies and cents
copy for each 1000 after that. About 2s,OOO
are issued this year. The price is so low
that few Iowa firms wish to do the work
and the reason assigned for the state
binder not doing It in his own office is
that the state printer having been behind
all year with a strike has delayed the
work greatly and recently flooded the state
binder with work. The Official registers
were sent out in order to facilitate the
work Of getting them bound. The sum in
volved is 81, $40
