HILO PICKS UP THE TORCH

The decision of the EIo board of trade to be host to the 9Th an
nual civic convention is nothing more than was to have been expected.
No one really believed that the Big Island city would quit cold on an
Institution which it itself had originated and which has been and still
can e one of the most useful. institutions in the territory. 1t was to
be expected that a few reachonary and close-hIed soul. should fail to
see anything but expense to come from the gathering; but Hlo has too
many progressive spirited, farsghted men to allow their counsel ever
to prevail
In deciding, however, to cut out all fairs, carnivals or other stunts
that would serve to distract attention from the serious purpose of the
gathering, Ho has been wise. She has taken to heart the lesson of
the Maui convention held last fall in connection with the Maui county
fair, and which was altogether disappointing. Iii not likely that Maui
or any other community will ever make such a mistake again.
But the Maui mistake did not prove that the civic convention was
not worth while. 1t merely demonstrated that it is impractical to do
serious work in the midst of a hubbub of distractions.
The Hno convention, which we understand is to be held in Septem-
Der, should be of more than ordinary Importance from the fact that
it will closely precede the special session of the legislature, if one be
called, and in any event will be able to take a survey of legislation
which will, or should be, considered at the regular session beginning
next February.
The Civic Convention should be the clearing house for new ideas.
1t is the only territorial wide civic organization that we have that can
act in such capacity. Through it should be filtered and crysaized for
the common good, the progressive thoughts of the best brains of the
territory. That it has not functioned in this capacity as it should is
nothing against the idea back of the organization. But to let it go by
the board because of this fact would be to the everlasting dscredit of
the men and women of the Islands in whose hands the future welfare
of the community reposes.

land development companies. The
facts that production in the newly
opened fields even of these concerns
was wholly precarious, that for every
'gusher' discovered there were half a
dozen failures, and that this happened
when the best expert talent available
was used for investigating the pros
poets, made little impression compar-
ed with the mere fact of the advance
in the stock of those concerns. The
promoters of fraudulent concerns
made use of this popular state of mind
but the indictments that have been re-
turned assert that they did more han
merely talk of speculative possibili-
ties. One of them is accused of sell
ing at a dollar per share more than a
million oil shares which cost the pro-
motors 20 cents a share; another, of
representing that successful wells had
been drilled when all attempts at find
ing oil on the property had been
abandoned; another, of advertising
'gushers' in operation when the en-
terprise had only a small interest in
some town lots which had never even
been explored for oil.
"The moral of these particular cpl
sodes is an old and familiar one; the
public at large will doubtless take it
to heart until the next speculative
mania comes along. But if the courts
manage this time to inflict exemplary
punishment on the perpetrators of
the frauds, it is possible that the good
results will be more lasting"
The Houston Post, which was one
of the first to denounce the fake oil
stock salesman, declares that lin no
State will there be m@e satisfaction
over the suppression OF this evil thai
in Texas, but nothing the Government
can do will bring back to victims the
funds which they have squandered."
Due to large-scale oil operations in
that State, The Post goes on, 1.-The pro-
fessional gold-brick artists have made
Texas the goat, yet for the most part
Texas has been the innocent suffer
err"

of this sort is born every minute" re-
marks the New York Tribune. Yet
in the present instance it would seem
that many constituencies promoters
have come to the turn in the long lane.
The honest broker who deals fairly
with his client, and whose business
standing depends upon his integrity,
detests "the jackals who hang about
the edges of the market and live by
trafiicking on the %credulity and cupid
ity of the small investor" as much as
the small investor himself hates him.
Continues The Tribune:
1.-THE practise OF the fraudulent VEN
ders is a n to honest business,
for it creates distrust of all vendors
and their assurances. 1t seems left
chiefly to a remote and indirect
agency like the Post-ofice Depart
ment to conduct the only real war
made on these pests and plunderers.

mails. Yet their real offense is not
against the postal regulations, but
against the fundamental rules of
social conduct.
THE Post-ofice Department is en-
titled to the highest praise for it's
cdusade against fraudulent sellers of
gfAolye t. l., l,;nrG an rrarly yrbsoh t1n
criminal authorities of each State
ought to do. 1t is bringing to account
rascals posing as brokers who ought
to be ~ostracized and supprest by the
respectable brokers. 1t is clearly to
the interest of those who handle Sc
curities to exterminate the adventur.
ers who now prey on the ineXperienc'
ed investing public"
"Swindling stock pedlers do more
than rob the people; they discourage
prudent investment both by creating
distrust of all promotions and by fill
ing the ears of gullible people with
such glowing stories of quick riches
that they will not listen to advice re,
garding safe investments" declares
the Detroit Free Press, and the New
York Evening Post points a moral
when it says:
THE victimizing of small investors
by these oil companies has been a
matter of notoriety during many
months. The success of such under
takings usually depends on the exist
ence of a popular appetite for specu
lation and of surplus money with
which to crafty it, but also on the ex
istence of such a1tual facts in a giveI
industry as will excite the speculative
Imagination. The crazes Eel mining
companies are the most familiar; the
fraudulent promoters in such cases
would usually sell stock in mines
which had failed to strike ore, bu.
which were located near some nOtori

could therefore be advertised as hav
ing the same potentialities.
THE 'oilstock mania has had thu
same psychological basis as the 9th
