Perpetrated
on SMALL
nVe SfOrS

A large part Of the
discredit in the public
mind attaching to
"Wall Street" Is due
to frauds perpetrated
on the small investor
throughout the coun-
try in the sale of
worthless securities
by means of alluring
circulars and adver-
tisements in the news
papers. To the sue
cess of such swindling
enterprises a portion
OF the press contrib
utes.
Papers which hon.
estly try to distin-
guish between swind-
ling advertisements
and others may not in
every instance sue
coed in doing so; but
readiness to accept ad-
vertisements which
are obviously traps
for the unwary Is
evidence of a moral
delinquency w h / C h
should draw out the
severest public con-
demnation.
So far as the press
In the large cities Is
concerned the correc.
ton of the evil lies, In
some measure, In the
hands of the reputable
bankers and brokers,
who, by refusing their
advertising patronage
to newspapers notOri-
ously guilty in this re-
spect, could compel
them to mend their
ways, and at the same
time prevent fraudu.
lent schemes from de-
irving an appearance
Of merit by association
with reputable names.
