ad seems to promise independence and
comfort, If not luxury. So answers,
despite warnings, are written TO the
ads.
II only the statement Of ". Z. Coch-
ran, head Of the postofice inspect OF
New York, could be blazoned forth,
perhaps for lack Of victims the COM
panies would be forced to quit bust
ness. For he says: "All the COM
panies which advertise that they pay
money for home work should be in
vestigated They are all swindles.
"Of course this does not apply to
certain firms which give out work TO be
done at home. Around Troy, for in
stance, there are many shirt and col
lar factories. Much of the work is
done outside the factories. Women
who live in nearby villages or on
farms take the sewing home with
them. That, of course, Is a very diff
ferent matter. II means simply that
the women do the work at home in
stead Of in the factory. But those
reputable firms do not advertise as the
others do.
Women Suffer Most.
women are the ones who suffer
most from these swindles, although
there are companies, Of course, which
fleece men, also. But by far the
greater number operate among womer
only, by offering to pay good prices fol
sewing and making fancy articles
That is where tho pathos comes in
So many women, anxious to make
living for themselves and for theii
children, perhaps, and without any
training except that OF the woman
who has spent her life at home doing
the things about a house, answer these
ads.
"The money asked at first is usually
very little sometimes not more than
% cents. But TO the women TO whom
these ads appeal even that sum may
mean a real sacrifice. That initial out

az newspapers stopped printing the

are many decent papers in the country
which refuse such advertising. there
are many others which do not. The
rates for such ads are high, and the
publisher is protected by the fact that
unless conspiracy is proved he cannot

impossible to prove conspiracy. II the

Blackmail an Effective Threat.

"The victims oftentimes do not COM
plain. suppose when they know they
have been swindled they are rather
ashamed Of Il and so prefer to keep
silent. Then there is another hold
which the companies have on them:
They can threaten to prosecute the
compliments for blackmail. Usually
this threat is enough to make the
person who has been victimiZed 90
meekly away.
"Of course many OF the companies
have had expert legal advice, and their
promoters are wise enough to come
technically within the law. But more
and more there is coming to be tend
ency to punish if it can be proved that
there was intent to swindle. Strangely
enough many of the promoters of these
schemes seem to believe that they are
honest. Naturally they wouldelaim
that, of course, but I've actually seen
those who seemed to have deluded
themselves into believing they were en-
gagged in reputable businesses.

an the case Of Mr.. Esaacson, there
was Just one OF those who answered
his ad who can be said to be success
full. And what do you suppose he
made? Just seven dollars in seven

a month is not a conspicuous success,
is it? Nevertheless, he stands alone
among those who did not put more in

and he worked steadily for those seven

states have two cent passenger rate
 and whatever loss is incurred is recov- cred through freight revenue. The jus tee of such procedure was recently
 passed upon by the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the decision is
 so far-reaching that we have asked ! l.. D. Johnson, president of the Nor folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly review the suit. MT. Johnson said in part:
 Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of large number of states at two cents mile. As a basis for such economic legislation, no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yield to the rail way companies an adequate ON any net return upon the capital invested in conducting this class of business.
 Such law was passed in West Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate into effect and maintained it for two years. Its accounting during these two years showed that two cents a mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-pocket cost and noth- ing was left to pay any return on capital invested It sought relief from the courts. Expert accountants for
