AO AAOs
believe her vicious attitude is a fair
perspective of her whole class to-
ward us who strive SO valiantly
and successfully to create wealth Tor
its enjoyment. I hope this gets a
rise out Of you. I am recently
converted Socialist. I have had
contacts with many members of the
two old-line parties and would be
ashamed to be anything else but a
Socialist. 1 do not see how she can
be so hot herself and mingle with
that stratum. But of course she
could be dumb and blind.
A few more injusticeS of this
sort and my gang will win at the
polls. Does all this come under
Manners and Morals? MethinkS
it does. HURRAH FOR DEBS.
Answer - You misunderstood
Mrs. Nicholson. She has no quar-
rel with the working girl, for she
is a worker herself. Ever since
I have known her she has labored
as hard and sincerely as any
stenographer or office assistant,
and spent what she earned to
maintain herself, even as you
and I.
1 see nothing vicious in her bill
which rests on the premise that
emotional change is not crime,
and therefore not punishable by
law. I feel nothing but contempt
for the woman who sues man
for breach of promise, for separate
maintenance, or who ISLANDERS a
correspondent in a divorce suit.
Justice requires support for chill
dren and disabled women, but not
profit for private malice. The law
as it is reminds me of quota
ton from Oliver Twist. If the
law supposes that" said Mr..
Bundle, the law is ass"
Women who hold up the men
who have ceased to love them
are not confined to any one walk
of life. Mrs. Nicholson would be
first to admit that there are as
many extortioners in her own
group as yours. She would re-
strain them all without regard to
their station. Therefore deem
the use of the terms "stenog-
raphers" and office assistants"
as misleading and not in harmony
with her meaning.
The honest, high-minded wom-
an who has been betrayed and
deserted is not the one who takes
her difficulties into court in an
attempt to litigate love. 1t is only
the blackmailer who is dishonest
enough to claim that a man is
financially indebted to her by
virtue of the fact that he once
loved her.
Among the men on Mrs. Nichol-
sons social level you will find full
many louise, but can you honest
ly say that the same is not true
in any other group containing
considerable number of men2

Independents will run in the next

Although the governments "boastful

Sc. c: PUSHES WAR
ON STOCK CROOKS
State and Voluntary Units
Join in Campaign to
Protect Investors.

Swinging into its permanent visi-
lance against Nationwide stock swim
ding, which in the past has mulcted
literally millions of dollars from in
vestors, the Securities and Exchange
Commission is bringing together for
the first time the State security COM
missions and voluntary associations,
together with the State attorney gen.
erals, into a cooperative effort which
has already put stock crooks on the
run.
Opening its files, or "rogues' gallery" ="
which shows data on officials actions
during the past 10 years and begin
ming the sending Of its regular monthly
bulletins on both wanted men" and
recent convictions, the S. E. c. has
started to plug long-recognized
weakness in stock fraud prevention
absence of a central clearing bureau.
There is little publicity attached to
the program, augmented by direct in
vestigations of S. E. c. agents in the
field
Still Many Gullible.
Veteran investigators. covering the
country, report that operations ap-
pear to be less than in the '20s, but
there are still many gullible, willing
to take the word Of the smooth-spoken
operator, who assures the owner OF
United States Steel that he will make
much more money If the stock is sold
and the proceeds invested in "XYZ,"
a "cat and dog" which Is worth
nothing.
The favorite method of swindling,
the commissioners agents report, is
still sell and switch" with variations,
one Of the latest being to urge trans
ferring investments into an operator
controlled stock listed on a small ex-
change. Also. the operators are still
able to Use the telephone.
The commission is studying closely
the problem of telephone companies
installing large numbers of phones for
swindlers and is starting a co-opera-
tive effort with the phone companies
to see If the practice cannot be
stopped. The size of the telephone

sions and to such voluntary organi-
yations as the Better Business Bu-
reaus
The S. E. C. believes it is getting
the crooks on the run. with the aid
Of the State authorities. and the
bulletin shows that the commission
has been active in all parts of the
country with stop orders and injunc-
tions. One of the principal prob
lens the agents have to contend with.
