Joke Founded Merely on Tradition.

Badness, if it is sign Of anything
at all, is sign of responsibility. The
conventional jest about the gayety OF
the baldheaded man has absolutely no
foundation in fact. Occupants of front
rows at the theaters and musical
comedies are not at all remarkable
for their badness. whatever else their
claim to distinction.
One Of the prominent papers in Lon
don made an extensive investigation
to prove the truth Of this statement.
The result was that the proportion Of
baldheaded men at the churches and
universities and lecture halls in Lon
don was so enormously in advance Of
the baldheaded men at the theaters
that there was no possible conclusion
other than that badness is really an
indisputable concomitant of respec-
liability and that the jokes about bald
heads and the front rows Of theaters
are merely traditional.

Notes of The Game.

proved, but we suspect not entirely be
cause of the action OF nature.
Bernard Dunlevv, ex-high school
player, ofliciated at second for the
Athletics, but had little to do in the
field aside from making a putout at
third because of slow thinking ON the
part of his former mates.
Umpire Doyle turned in at least
three decisions on one play. Bracket
was hit on the leg by a pitched bali
which rolled back to the grandstaud.
Ray Angler was On first and went clear
to third. Doyle refused to allow
Bracket to take his base and order
cd Ray Angler back to first, Being
convinced that if Bracket had not been
hit by the Hall III must have been a
passed ball, he allowed Angler to keep
third and finally, when Bracket re
suuted batting again he called the next
bah .'ball one eventually changing
that to .'hall two.

Such provisions for the investiga-
tiOn of investment companies is in
the interest of the poor and ignOr-
ant. 1t aims to protect the lambs
of society against the wolves. At
the present time there is no law
on the statute books of this state
which can in any way curb the ras-
calities of men who have organized
wildcat corporations. This law Is
aimed at such concerns and it's OBJ
ject is to prevent such corporations
from getting the money of the un-
wary rather than to wait until the
money is stolen and then punish
the wrOng-dOer.
The law is not only in the inter-
est of the poor and ignorant; it Is
also in the interest of legitimate
business. for money which is caught
in the net OF Hillman or Park
er is diverted from legitimate busi-
ness channels. No one realizes this
more fully than the honest real
estate or investment broker, there
fore, in protecting the weak a
gainst the willy. honest business
furthers it's own. prosperity.
The opponents of this law do
not attack the correctness of its
principle, but say that it is loosely
drawn. and will injure and hamper
legitimate business concerns. AS
a matter of fact the bill puts less
restrictions on business and sub
jects it to less inconvenience than
bills of SIMILAR character to be
found in other states. Large dis
cretion is reposed in the public SER
vice commission and the bill could
not be more liberal respecting the
making of investigations without
losing all of its force. The law
was carefully drawn. in fact. 1t is
the same law as that introduced
in the state legislature in 1913. 1t
was passed upon in the legislature
by the committee on banks and
banking and reported out as "a
committee bill, with recommends
| tiOn that it pass. 1t was smother
ed by the committee on rules. Fur
thermore, prior to being introduced
in the legislature, the main pro-
visions of the bill were passed on
and corrected by the legislative COM
mittee of the State Bankers as
sOciatiOn.

BY c. J. FRANCE

There are several forms of rob-
berry. The man who by glowing ad-
vertisements and false prospectus
sells stocks and Onbds of fictitious
value to the ignorant and lnexperi-
enced is as much a rObber as the
man who holds up a belated citizen
at the point of gun. Society is
merciless in its attitude toward the
latter, but against the former it af-
fords it's citizens scant protection.
The state of Washington, with all
its enlightening legislation, offers
no protection against the evil
schemes of Hillman, a DeLarm
of Columbia Orchard bonds scandal,
or a Parker. of wireless telegraph
fame. These gentlemen. and scores
of their ilk. have taken and are
taking toll of millions from The
poor and ignorant, from widows,
school teachers and unsuspecting
wage earners. The United States
government estimates that $29,OOO,-
900 were taken from the people or
the United States in two years
through fraudulent use of the mails
alone. The federal government has
done what it could to convict un-
der the postal laws the more fla
grant offenders like Hillman and
Parker, but while these men went
to McNeil's Island, their ill-gotten
gains could not be returned TO
their victims. Both of them were
released after short sentences and
one of them at least is now living
| in luxury on his ill-gOtten gains.
