Answer-These four Standard Oil
stocks are sound, but the present re-
turn on investment in them is so small
that they arc hardly the kind OF Sc
curities for an initial small investment.

Should He Invest:

QUESTION have block OF 81, Ious-
San francisco preferred stock. bought at
about so. 1t Is selling around so. I
would like your opinion with regard to
the resumption Of dividends this stock
Also whether IL would be advisa Bile to sell
ct the present price and reinvest In a div
tdend paying issue or hold tho stock for a
further advance Go X. g.
Answer-We could not attempt to
predict whether the st. Louis g. San
Francisco will resume dividends on the
preferred stock The roads earnings
have shown tendency recently to i'm
prove. Whether resumption of div-
dends has been considered by the board
of directors we are unable TO say. You
must decide for yourself whether you
would do better to sell under the pres
ent circumstances and reinvest in a
dividend paying issue or whether you
prefer to continue your speculation,
since by holding the stock, either for
resumption of dividends or higher
prices, you are engaged in speculation.

Notwithstanding the hearty
cooperation Of state and federal
authorities in this district in the
enforcement of the prohibition
law, we still have with ns the
bootlegger.
Recently there has appeared
on the scene new type of boot
logger. His liquor is made in
model copper stills, or it is inn
ported and bears a well known
brand. His customers are not
OF the old time inebriates but in
clude prominent men of the COM
munity. leaders in its business
and social activities. men whose
lives should be an example to-
their fellow citizens. of strict OBJ
servance of. and respect for, the
law. = +
Among them are a few erst-
while prohibitionists, total abb
stainers when they might legally
have acquired intoxicants. who |
now, in violation of the law, |
serve at their homes the product
Of illicit stills. |
It is evident that there would |
be no bootleggers were there mol
customers. The purchaser is as
guilty as the seller. and with
him may be indicted for conspir-
acy to violate the law, y more se-
rious offense than the violation
itself.
There is but little difference
in hiring a man to violate the
law and in buying the product
after the offense has been COM
mitted. One who commits crime
BY proxy is equally guilty with
his agent. Morally his guilt is
the greater, because. himself
lacking the nerve to do the thing, ,
be has induced another to COM
NIT the offense for his benefit. I.
: A man violates the
law to crafty his thirst, and !
thus passes himself above thel ,
law and in defiance of constituted
authority. He is robbed by an
other, who, feeling the pinch of :
want. violates the law to annease
his hunger. Has not the former, !
by his own bad examnle con. !
tributed to the delinouencv ofl
the latter? Can those who ha-
bituallv and notoriouslv v;olafa
