Perpetrated
on SMALL
1--we s tors

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 cir
culars and advertise
ments in the newspa-
pers. To the success
of such swindling en-
terprises a portion Of
the press contributes.
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 adj
vertisements which
are obviously traps
for the unwary is
evidence Of a moral
delinquency W h i 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 notoIi-
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.

pools OF WATER"

The Rev. Wysor, of the Presby-
terrain Church. preached an interest
ing and scholarly discourse to a
large audience at the M. II. Church
South, last Sunday evening. He
drew some important and useful
lessons from the ..parched ground
and the pools of water" and the
mirages of the countries of the
far Orient sh owing how the parch-
ed earth could be made pools OF
living water and the mirages trans
formed to realities instead of illu-
sions. MIR. Wyor warned the young
men and women present of the
utter impossibility Of making some
of the mirages of life become hap
by realities. He spoke Of the in
nocent, healthful sports of young
men as eminently proper, con-
demning base ball as Sunday a
musement. Mr.. Wysor was atten-
lively listened to by all includ-

ing a large number of nice looking,
well behaved boys, whose good be-
havior on this occasion was re-
buke to some of the other sex.
Mr.. wysor spoke admiringly of
the singing and of the pleasure he
felt in hearing the grand old
hymns of the church. and how good
they sounded to him, after years
of rag time" music on the from
tier. His feelings about rag time
music in the church is felt by
many. The two-step measure of
some of the songs-it's almost sac
rilege to call them hymns-follow-
ed by the swing and Tilt of the
chorus are often more suggestive of
vaudeville than of the house of
God.
