It is a source of great satisfac-
ton, says the Washington Post, to
note that the Federal Trade Com
mission has begun a campaign to
put stop to the selling of wildcat
stocks and securities and to circum-
scribe the activities of the financial
pirates who prey upon the credulity
of the people This is particu-
larly good time to start a campaign
for the suppression of these frauds.
There are many millions of people
in this country who have invested
their savings in Liberty Bonds pay
ing 414 per cent interest, a large
number of whom are too easily in
.duced to trade in their bonds for
worthless stock which the seller
promises will yield extravagant re-
turns in the near future. Among
the bond owners stock statesmen are
reaping a rich harvest, and they
should be stopped. Stock in phan-
tom oil companies, non-producing
gold mines, and blueprint manufac-
turing plants are traded for Liberty
Bonds, which the takers cash in and
devote to their own use.
Repeated warnings from high Of
fetal sources have not served to re-
strain many people from falling vic
tins of the lure of get-rich-quicli
concerns. They read of war babies
now grown to full stature, of great
fortunes made overnight, and they
succumb to the tempting promises
of the "blue sky statesmen.
The Federal Trade Commission
can render no worthier service than
to protect the ignorant portion OF
the American public from the mach

POLITICIANS OF
MEXICO LINING
UP FOR ELECTION

MEXICO CITY. = Although the
presidential election in Mexico is
not scheduled to be held until July
of next year, political alignments
are taking form.
The newspaper Excelsior, in re-
cent issue, reviewing the political
situation, declared that canvass of
the various states showed these
chiefs to have the following prefer
ences: Ten for General Alvaro Obre-
gon: five for General Pablo Con
zales; one for Luis Cabrera, serre-
tary of the treasury; one for
Aguirre Berlanga, secretary of the
interior; one for a civilian candi-
date as yet unnamed, and seven un-
decided. These varied selections
give some hint, at least, as to what
men are being considered for the
honor.
General Obregon at present is
not in active army service, being
engaged in private business in Sono-
ra. General Gonzales is at the head
of the government forces in the
state of Oaxaca, following his paci-
fcation of the State of Morelos, cul-
minating in the death of Zapata.
He has not openly pronounced him
self a candidate, but has issued
several letters in which he chal-
lenged statements credited to Gen
eral Obregon, and in one asked the
latter to sign pact with him that.
in any event, the decision at the
polls would be final. General Obre-
gon as yet has not replied.
1t is rumored in the capital that
several generals now in the field
have presidential ambitions.
FL Heraldo de Mexico, a new
conner in the journalistic field here,
is attempting to unite the various
factions in Mexico into one political
party which, agreeing in matters
of governmental policy, shall deter
mine upon a candidate and elect
him.
To date none of the leading news
papers of the capital has publicly
pledged its support to any avowed
or potential candidate.

There's prospect haunts my pillow,
Do l wake, or yet but dream,
Be the vision white or golden
Riffs of ore with black between.
Thus l pass the longing daytime
With my prospect fair to see;
While my life, the fame that fans i,
Scarcely dwells inside of me!
I'm a dummy automaton,-
Other labors l PERFORM
IT'S my prospect gives me courage,
Aye, it keeps this body warm.
AS the light is to the candle;
AS the bed is to the sea;
AS the showers and sun to earth is;
So my prospect is to me-
Long forgotten is my surname,
No one seeks my family tree,
l am but an "Old Prospector";
Yes, that name applies to me.
l would rend all other letters,
/ would break all ties that bind
But, man travels on his stomach,
Ill-fed soldiers lag behind!
Thus reclaim that Elixir
It's no favor that l seek
Just a partner, with a grubstake,
l will all the chances take.
Then, like Thor, III smite Alaska!
Till her very mountains quake,
Make her yield those golden nuggets,
Pay you amply for that stake!
Anthracite and anthony,
Malachite and platinum, too,
Surely, for a seasons grubstake,
It's prospect good for two!
That's why wages seem pittance,-

SOMETHING WRONG.

In a statement just issued at
Washington by Secretary of the
Treasury Glass to the effect that
the war cost America S30,177,0
600, he says in order that this
great obligation may be met both
the Government and the people of
America "must practice sober econo-
my and wise investment, avoiding
waste and speculation"
Secretary Glass fails to inform us
just how to practice economy when
early-day Klondike prices are pre-
vailing and advancing every week.
is there yelled humor in the secre
tary's use of the word sober econ
omy?" Of course, says the Alaska
Daily Empire (Juneau) under ex-
isting "arld' conditions, any ec0no-
my practiced in Alaska as well as
elsewhere in America at this time
must necessarily be sober" econo-
my, but at the same time, how can
any person that eats with 'eats'
at present prices practice ''sober"
or any other brand of economy? 1t
just can't be done.
More than eight months have
elapsed since the armistice was
signed and the price of living-aye,
the price of existing-has steadily
advanced ever since and is still ad-
vancing. Where will it end and
what condition will the country be
in if the end is not soon? What
condition is the country in today?
During the period of the war
Americans were not quite 100 per
cent loyal. Had they been 100 per
cent loyal, seventeen thousand new
millionaires would not have been
made in the United States For
nearly two years the majority Of
Us denied ourselves many Of the
necessities of life in order that we
might help win the war, and while
we were practicing such self -denial,
new millionaires to the number Of
seventeen thousand were being made
at our expense. Were they prac-
ticing the same brand of self-denial
that we practiced? Hardly. They
We're profteering while we looked
longingly at something in the gro
Gerry stores we wanted to eat but
felt that we could not and at the
same time help win the war.
Furthermore, the majority of Am
orleans were buying themselves poor
in the line of bonds at the same
time they were stinting themselves
of the necessities of life in the
belief that prices would be lowered
as soon as the war was over. And
this is where the majority of Am
orleans were fooled. The war is
over and prices are still soaring and
the end is not yet. The result is
that people all over the country are
being forced to dispose of their
bonds in order to secure the means
Of living.
And yet theorists tell US the
country is prosperous. Theoretical
ly the country may be prosperous
but the people of the country-a
great majority of them, at least
are not prosperous. The average
wage or salary-earner throughout
the country has never been harder
put to make both ends meet than
at present. The manufacturers may
be prosperous, but the consumer is
taking up the starvation belt on an
average of one hole every month.
This is a condition, not a theory,

"Coradi ;, and Korrodi." 1t was i'll
1888 that the name first appeared as
"COrrodi''. There are still several
families Of Corrodis in that Alpine re-
gion, but only two in theUnited States,
those of tle two brothers, Louis and
