PASSING OF THE PROMOTER
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

1t is easy enough to say that we have
come to the end of an era in our national
history: and it has been said often enough,
heaven knows, during the last few months.
But for all its triteness, the saying IS per
fectly true, and the whole business IS worth
good deal of examination.
One aspect of the change is to be seen
in the proposal whereby all security issues
would come under the strict regulation CT
the federal government.
This, in all probability, means the pass
ing of the old-time financial and industrial
promoter-the man who built nothing and
originated nothing but who had genius
for tying together into one big, and useful,
concern a whole series Of smaller firms
that other men had built up.
Sometimes this promoter was an out
and-out pirate, all fixed up with a plank
which all suckers he captured mad to
walk; sometimes he performed tremen-
dously useful service for the nation as a
whole; and, in the main, it is probably
quite true that the great development OF
our industry in the last three Or four dec
AIDES could never have taken place without
him.
But it is hard to see how h could OPP
crate under this new scheme for regulat-
ing security issues and securities markets.
The very essence Of the old-time pro-
motors game was that the process of or
ganizing his companies and floating his
stock issues be performed in the darkness
because it was in that process that his
vast profits originated.
Because the country was expanding 50
fast. this often enough worked out very
we'll, in the long run. Many giant corpo-
ration contained vast quantities of water
when it was first put together, but found
before many years had passed that the
natural growth of business had drained It's
water all out.
But those expansive days are over; and
the imaginative and ingenious promoter
who took advantage of them can no longer
be regarded as a useful person. The pro-
posed security marketing bill simply rec
ognizes that fact. 1t has been said otter,
but it is very true-we have come to the
end of an era.

DUTY VS.. POLITICS

All senators and congressman ought to ponder
deeply over the remark made the other day by Sen
ator Ashurst of Arizona. Senator Ashurst remark
ed that he had been threatened with political exc
cution' if the voted for the veterans compensa-
ton economy bill; and he added:
81 have made the discovery that it is not abso-
lutely necessary to the perpetuity of the republic
that l be reelected to the senate"
There is truth that every member of each
house ought to keep tackled up on the wall where
he can see it all day long. Every member gets
threatened by a lobby ever SO often; frequently
he has creeping feeling that the lobby is per-
fectly able to carry out its threat. But he has a
higher duty than to get himself reelected. Like
Senator Ashurst, he ought to be able to recognize
it now and then.-Louisville Herald-Post.

HIND TIE SCENES IN
~ RODNEY BUTCHER

U7ASHINGTON-The Roosevelt
w program has been beating
down 9arty lines and, what is
more extraordinary, has partly
eli&ced some of the old markers
that used to distinguish the pro-
greSsive8 from the conservatives.
The majOritieS behind the preSi-
dents proposals contain Repub-
s:cans. Democrats and progress
sives and in each case there ap-
pears a division OF opinion among
the progressive members OF Con-
greSs as well as in the ranks OF
the two parties. The phenomenon
Of progresSives standing on oppo-
site sides OF important roll calls
is rather new.
No one has yet found the an
swer to the question, often asked
before the Inauguration, whethe"
Roosevelt would have to give up
his progressive or his conserYa-
tive friends. National emergen-
cy legislation tends 10 ebliterate
such alignments as the liberal
conservative one which most OF
us have thought would eventually
enter into the two-party system,
but the progressiyes have more
principles to preserve at such
time, and that's one reason why
they have been found divided.
Roosevelt already is regarded
here as a progressive" president,
il it is possible to apply such ter
minology to his work thus far.
The cabinet is certainly q liberal
group in the main. Liberals and
even radicals are conspicuous in
the professional group which has
had so much to do with framing
the Roosevelt program.
But in Congress taere is no
unanimity of any group behind
him. The composition of the
small minority against the bank
ing bill demonstrated that first.
Senator George Norris Of Nebras-
ka, feeling that the national well
fare required giving Roosevelt
what he wanted, voted with other
progressives, for the bill. La

The following Is the text Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's address delivered last
night for the 1888 mobilization or hui
man neeCs:
I have spoken on several occasions of
the vital importance to our country
that private charity in all that that
broad term covers. must be kept up at
least to the levels, and I hope even
beyond the levels, Of former years. At
this opening of the four weeks 1888
mobilization for human needs, I want
not only to reafirm what have said
before, but to stress the fact that the
fine teamwork in the recovery program
cannot be successful If an important
horse is lying back in the traces.
It Is true that I have declared that
Government must not let any one
starve this Winter. But at the same
time this policy is predicated on the
assumption that the individual Amer
lean citizen will continue to do his and
her part even more unself1shly than In
the past.
Help Still Needed.
Let me stress that great many peo-
pie will still need the help Of relief
agencies this Winter. 1t is true that
because Of q partial, but I believe
steadily growing, Unemployment of the
unemployed, many families and many
individuals have been taken off the To-
cal relief rolls. But, on the other hand,
the needs Of those who are still on
the rolls is proportiOnately greater than
it was before, and. in addition to the
work of direct relief, 1t Is necessary for
US to continue our support of the
permanent hospital and welfare services
that exist in every country and in most
communities.

A. Green for deterring crime. Judge
Green presides over the largest felony
court In the world.
ton by H. L. Mencken that all ha-
bitual criminals should be hanged. the
jurist said:
"Mencken Is right about executing
habitual criminals. The right to live
in society should be forfeited by one
who repeatedly commits felonies.
But at the same time greater and
more intelligent efforts should be made
by society to prevent first offenders
from becoming repeaters. An impor-
tant step in this direction would be
the, filming of actual executions for
their benefit"
Practice Forbidden.
Taking Of any kind Of pictures Of
executions Is now forbidden in the
United State. Spectators at electrocu-
tiOns and hangings are searched as
carefully for cameras as for weapons.
The major causes OF crime are ad-
verse economic conditions and false
heroics," Mr. Green said
witnessing an execution-seeing the
end OF the trail'-would jar these ideas
Of false heroics more quickly than a
year Of lectures. No person. after see
ing some poor wretch bundled into the
electric chair, could be so depraved or
insane as to see anything but the utter
horror and undesirability of such an
end.
Issued vagrancy Warrants.
"First offenders should be segregated
carefully in reformatories. There they
should be educated intelligently but
firmly with the view Of turning them
out good citizens. One course should
be the pictures showing the end that
would await them If they erred twice
more"
Judge Green has been q prosecutor or

since 1916.

lowed up the action by sending most
