IT WILL be a trihe difficult for fraudu-
lent stock promoters to fleece the gullble
public of Washington in the future. Splendid
results already have been obtained in the campaign
against blue sky operatives who have fed upon the
unappeasable human appetite for easy money. The
Better Business Bureau which is taking the lead
i'll the effort to clean the National Capital OF these
grafers, announces that .cast eight haze packed
tIcir baggage and skunk out of .own during the
past few days. The movement should have been
started long ago Washington people have been
too long the victims of these smooth-speaking
gentry who have at the end Of their tongues the
old story OF how $40 invested in Ford motors
twenty-five years ago would have yielded 100000
by this time and how the present scheme for alb
stractng sunshine from cucumbers is certain to
bring greater eventual reward.
Few private individuals capable of judging
the value OF stocks and bonds. When a salesman
Tor OF these commodities knocks at the door
the proper procedure, OF course is to consult the
neighborhood banker. But the average Washing
tonian is afraid to do this He is afraid because
he suspects rightly that the banker will wreck
rudely the dreams OF affluence into which the sales
man has hypnotizcd him and which have proved
so pleasant People will not protect themselves
against fraudulent stock schemes. Hence, they
must be protected. This work in which the Better
Business Bureau has taken the lead. is praise
worthy in the extreme. 1t is aimed to keep the
barn door shut all the time. The best than can
he expected from any other means is that it will
be shut alter the horse is stolen.
This city has been. without much doubt, a
paradise for seeking capital for all sorts Of
fantastic schemes-most OF which exist only in
their minds. They have thrved under the shadow
of the United States government They have taken
thousands OF dollars out of the District of Co.
linbia-most OF it from the pockets OF poor people
"ho were eager to grasp at the ightest straw on
tic surface OF their poverty which might drift into
tie harbor OF wealth. They would have resented
the advice OF financial experts. They would have
'"nsidcred capital engaged in a conspiracy to
lcep them poor. Their only protection lies in the
determination of public-spritcd civic organizations
to keep the business professions ethical 1t is a
pleasure to hear that the ight-tongued gentry are
fleeing the city. 1t j. pleasure to note that they
are calling the most enicnt taxicabs and urging
the driver, to break all traffic rules on the way to
L niun Station.

captain. When he did so. Captain
Ike Smith and Manager Ferguson
asked the umpire who had requested
him 10 call the game. as neither the
