TO see a real boy or girl again, just
for a minute.-New York Telegraph.
Bosh! What's the difference whether
the boys and girls are called Riddles
or laddies and lassies? They're the
real thing, the same boys and girls
that the Telegraph knew when It was
on earth the first time. If anyone
really desires to see real boy or girl
again all he need do Is open his eyes
crouch can't see anything close by.
The fact Is that there are plenty OF
real boys and girls left, as good,
straight kids as any laddie or lassie
who clustered or giggled fifty years
ago. And there are proud and watchful
parents, who call them kids, uncles
whoc all them kiddoes and good men
and women and children are very much
the same today that they were then.
We haven't lost our little folks. They
are here as they were there. Condi-
tons have changed, but children are
the same whether we say ''laddie' or
"kiddo" when we throw an arm about
our boy who is growing up.

the children. Generally they are what

BEATING THE BLUE SKY MEN.
ISioux City Journal.l

The vitality given the laws against
fraudulent use Of the mails is feature
of Postmaster General Hitchcock's adj
ministration that has not been given
the attention 1t merits. Reminder OF
the wholesome activity in this direc-
ton is furnished in the attorney gem

the fiscal year 1911 there were l.l61
convictions for violations of postal
laws. Accommodating the report Is

have been put out of business. 1t in
cludes offenders big and little. and
runs the gamut of bucket shops, fake
mining schemes. fake land selling OPP
rations and all sorts of worthless
stock floating explorations. And the
list Of convictions does not by any
means represent the net results of this
campaign against what had long been
regarded as semi-reSpectable robbery
If the truth We're konwn, it probably
would be disclosed that dozens of blue
sky sellers retired from business vol

ton. One can only guess as to the

ing impossible reward in glittering en-
terprises whose enticements were set
forth in advertisement or circular.
1t used to be that the suckers" who
dumped their money into the hands OF
far away schemers were the only
ones who ran any risk. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has so arranged
matters that the sharper who uses the
United States mails to perpetrate a
fraud is engaging in as risky bust
ness as the safe cracker or the burg
lar. Indeed, the chance OF landing in
prison is somewhat better in the case
of the offender against the federal
postal laws. He must do his work in
the cpen. and if he keers at it long
enough to make it profitable he is
sure to run UP against the postmaster
generals machinery for protecting the
public.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been widely advertised as the man
who knocked out the postal deficit.
He is entitled to some advertising as
the man who put the blue sky sellers
on the run.
