Ponzi's Blunder.

Ponzi, the financial wizard who startled the
nation few months ago when his schemes
were publicly revealed, is to serve five months
in Boston Jail. The charge I'd which he plead
ed guilty was using the United States mails to
defraud.
Pon1i promised returns on money invested
in his enterprises that no sane person should
have believed were possible, yet millions were
poured into his Offices from all sections Of the
country. For = period he WAS able to meet
his guarantees. but collapse was inevitable.
Had Ponzi been cautious enough to have
avoided an ENHANCEMENT with q federal statute
he might still be enjoying his freedom. There
are hundreds Of other financiers over the coun-
try operating as boldly as he did. although pos
sibly not on as large scale, nor with such
roseate promises as he made. But they are
fully as morally. If not legally. culpable as he.
This is not said in defense Of PonSi OF Of his
enterprises. but simply to cite the weakness
Of legal structure that is supposed to afford
protection to the citizenship
1t is not to be expected that there ever will
be laws to prevent an individual throwing his
money into the lake, if he elects to do so. but
penalizing persons who successfully practice
their wiles upon the gullible. The worthless
stock promoter continues to do business in
this country, and he escapes legal punishment
through avoiding the fatal mistake which Ponzi
undermining afoul Of Uncle Samuel.
But persons Of Ponzi's stripe win prosper

get something for nothing The trouble with
the average person with . few hundred dollars
saved is that he prefers the counsel Of the
stranger with the red vest to that Of his home

and the bad buys. and he 10 always ready to
