campaign costing approximately quarter of million

widely known the difference between good and bad Sc
curltles and the value of sound investments 1t is to
be campaign OF education against the fake promoter
Ihe carplng critic says, truly enough, that the
bankers stand to gain largely from this campaign and
lnat 1t is therefore not wholly altrustic plan But
Wnat OF 1t? 1t the bankers do gain by attracting more
patrons to their banks and to the sound Investments
they OTTER, the patrons gain too If one has $1,000 to
invest how much better spend it through safe and
and honest channels where both parties to the invest
ment VIII profit than to spend it through unsafe chan
nels where only the fake promoter profits!
Education of the public in this regard has long
been recognized almost the only way to protect the
gulhble throng from their foolishness. Federal
authorities have pointed out again and again that
postal officials are handicapped in dealing with fraud
uent schemes to get peoples money because often ev
cannot detect the fraud act until after the money
has been lost and complaint made by the loser Eff
tective blue sky laws will help great deal But they
alone cannot do the work
For that matter, neither will education and pub
cty do it. All together, however, should make big
improvement and reduce considerably the 500 to 1000
million dollars estimated lost to the blue sv
promoter annually.

UNEMPLOYMENT

Unemployment is not occasional thing. It is an

that in the best times there is good deal of it.
and that taking good and bad times together there is
an average of several million men and women always
out of work10 II per cent of the total number of
workers.
The seasonal occupations" are responsible for
good deal of It, Every year there 100000 to g.
O00,0C0 persons out of work for weeks at time and
sometimes for months. Then there come Iyears now
and then when many millions of people, in many in
dustries are unemployed for long that they almost
despair OF finding jobs again and getting their
debts paid.
This is the great tragedy of modern industry
Along with all its blessings it brings that tremendous
problem of unemployment Industry demands special
izaton of jobs and the assembling Of many workers in
small areas land when the factory shuts down there
is often nothing else the workers do to earn iv-
ing Many industries still largely at the mercy of
the weather, of a seasonal demand, and cannot ad
just themselves to other lines during the offseason
Thus millions of workers are kept poor, because
they not allowed by this strange industrial system
to work steadily. And thus what they produce costs
the consuming public than would if they could
work steadily through the year. and year after year
Society a whole has to support its idle members

EDUCATED KCTERS

Under New York law, first voters are obliged to
undergo literacy tests In cities the tests are
handled by the school authorities.
They are simple enough A little reading and
writing is required. After reading short paragraph
the reader is asked to few questions about the
subject matter and is given plenty of time. This is
better than nothing but is trivial to what may be
quired for citizenship in the future.
So far is only the voters that have to prove
their ability to read. Anyone who voted before the
law was enacted, two years ago, continue voting,
whether he knows anything not In most states the
requirements are lower than in New York.
Democracy means universal citizenship rights, but
universal citizenship implies education for uneducated
people cannot govern Popular government will never
