MORE FRENZ1ED FINANCE,

Right on the heels of the Ponzi fraud, the de-
tails OF which were given such publicity that the in
auguration of another enterprise of that kind is an
act of almost unparalleled boldness, comes the news
OF another get-rich-quick scheme of almost exactly
similar character, in which several hundreds Of peo-
pie have been robbed under the pretext that they
were loanlng or investing money which was to
bring the fabulous returns within a few months.
This outfit, with headquarters in Chicago, has prom
ised its victims as high as 100 per cent profits in six
months, according to statements concerning it's
operations which have been published. In accord
ance with the usual and familiar method in such
cases, some Of the early investors" have actually
been paid enormous profits on their small initial
deposits. Rascals usually find this both safe and
profitable. The man who is credulous enough to
be persuaded into going into a scheme of this sort
at all may generally be relied on to increase his in
vestment after receiving his first batch Of profits,
and to pass the word along to his neighbors Of the
good thing which he has discovered. If there are
any who draw down their profits, this is more than
counterbalanced by the number Of new customers.
It is useful to expose these frauds. If there
were no exposure and no punishment of the perpct-1
rators there would be more Of such schemes and
more victims. But regardless Of the publicity given,
and regardless Of the effort made to dennonstrate
that any such promises as these rascals make are
necessarily fraudulent, there will probably always
be enough ignorant and eonfding people to make
All Of them collapse, and all Of them leave ruin in
their trail. Il is unfortunate that the victims are
usually people who cannot afford to lose their
money. The only thing that can be done is to
break up these gangs as fast as they are discovered,
punish the ringleaders, and spread the knowledge Of

never have hoped to be. There they
sat happy as kings in this mob and

Biggest change about her this. eve

And by Jove, how he did talk. .

But after all this I mustn't forget
the most thoughtful act that came at
the very end Of that deIirous evening,
and that it was Slim Grantham who
had the consideration to think of it
in time.

me at the Croesus glass doors as the
commissionaire raced off in search of
a cab, II hate to butt in on newly
