Abundance of Suckers.

The report Of the post mast or general
indicates that the get -riclrQuick In.
dustry Is branching out being more
bold In the matter Of enterprise, put
ting more capital into promotion and
placing more stock among investors.
The measure Of the abundance OF
suckers In this country may he judged
by the post er general = 81 at ement
that the get'rich-Iuick business a.
mounted to slaO.OOO,O In the last
fiscal year. In spite of the watchful.
ness OF federal, state and municipal
guardians, the eagerness of legitimate
business to kin of these vultures, the
solemn warnings Of stock exchanges,
newspapers, courts and persons who
have been burnt, there are people who
cannot resist the appeals Of extrava.
giant interest. The queerest thing
about the get.riclI.quick trafilc is that
1t Is supported by folks, who, In most
matters, are the extreme Of careful.
ness-being saving, cautious, suspic.
ious. But they are approached on
their blind sides and are taken In.
The official report shows that mere
prosecution will not suppress the
sucker fisherman. Publicity has so
far failed to keep people from buying
the wares of the get.rich.quick crooks.
Legislative bodies that have any
real desire to break up the industry
will adopt the Kansas plan which calls
for official examination Of all securities
bartered In the state, giving creden-
tails to honest business and weaken.
ing the means by which dishonest
business can reach the investor.

The Fraud Cry.

the House committed fraud by un.
seating him.

fraud Is as familiar as such words as

habit Of charging fraud Is not con.

cries which are heard from time TO

committing fraud in Missouri several
years ago, the Republicans we're do.
