DISHONESTY IN THE BUSINESS
 x WOfLD. s4

An attorney of wide experience in metropolitan life, was takling a few days ago about the recent revelations o: crooked finance in railroad and olkerf corporation affairs, It seemed to- him that one-half of the business
 men he knew were dishonest. He thought half of the other half would not do anything positively crooked, but would wink at it if they saw it
 going through in a way to profit them. If this is a fair Judgment, it
 is one Of number of reasons why tEe stock market ticker is almost held down by cobwebs. <
 The development of great corpora
 tions has created types of dishonesty.
 Just as the reporter of a metropoli-
 tan yellow journal is protected by the
 impersonality of the big machine he
 works for, so the managers of big e operations are long way from the stockholders. They feel inaccessible. l'ut when they put over" wrong deal, some one always knows. It may become for the advantage of that some one to give up his information. In the smaller cities and cuntry towns business men seem to be pretty honest. It pays to be so. as the bad
 bargain comes back quicker than the Cst. The discouraging side of bus'-
 ness life is the freedom with which many people will lie outright, and
 look you in the eye when they do it. People overlook lie too tolerantly The trouble with the liars and cheats is that they underestimate peoples intelligence. Nine-tenths of ! the Receptions are so obvious as to be laughable. People who try to get away" with these shallow tricks
 should be outlawed.
 The public is bewildereG by com. 1 plicated transactions of big corpora ticns and jugglery of millions. Eli 1 nanciers will find from now on, tha
 the simpler the business form is, the
 easier the stock will sell. A laby rinth of holding companies and papel organizations looks as if some ono
 was trying to elude something.

 Nowhere has the confidence in the pr >sident and approval of his deter mined position been more evident than in the powerful independent newspapers of the nation, those which are free of corporate strings or poli- tical control. Take, for instance, the vigorously independent Kansas City Star, politically an ardent packer ot Roosevelt; the Star in an edltoral Wednesday said:
 "Presidenl Wilson has the discon- certing habit of making those who fight his policies fight in the open If is the kind of habit that the American people like.
 There vas nothing in the presl' dents first attack upon the lnsld' icus lobby that indicated any pur' nose to force agreement with his pol ietes. There is nothing now. Thert has been and is, however, the very distinct purpose to make all slGes clay their cards above board.
 "The president uses no compulslol other than the fair presentation o fair opinions in a fair field. If tht compulsion is on his side it is onl! because public op.nion is on his side
 Public opinion is unquestionabl, with MT. Wilson in his position tha il is the q ,ty of congress to dlspe uncertainty The country has tho right to a definite, enacted policy fol the guidance of legitimate business
 "The presidents service i'll tariff and currency legislation-to name n' ether of his serv.ces--has assured against the danger of ill-consldere dicalism-ias it has assured agalns the danger of standpat conserva ism.
