AS NEVER BEFORE
A
j NEW YORK. Slock promoters
antl BWinuieit rtiy uute uccu unti'u
from 38 states where "blue sky" laws
exist, ure flourishing In New York
as never (before, according to Edwin
P. Kilroe, assistant attorney general
In cbarge'of the Investigation of com.
merclal frauds..
Mr. Kilroe charges that most of
the operators are composed of "con
fidence men, ex-convlcts, racetrack
touts, gamblers and men cf the baser
sort" who, as. soon as their crooked
1 "work is made public, move to another
J part of the metropolis and resume
, business under another name,
f... "It is remarkable," sayH he, "that
in this. state, which is the financial
renter of the world, the investing
public should bo left without protec
tion and that the Dark Akb law of
"SYRUP OF FIGS"
Look At tonuo! . Remove pouon.q
: from Mtotnurh, liver and
bowels
caveat emptor should rein hero."
Attacking the majority report of
Governor Smith's Blue Sky law com
mission as "a prayer to allow the
I predatory Wall Street interests to
continue their pillage without let or
hindrance." Mr. Kilroe in a repoTt to
District Attorney Swann, opposes the
recommendation to turn the prosecu
tion of crooked Wall street concerns
ever to four deputies and the attor
ney general of the state.
"The recommendation," he says,
"that nothing be done by the present
legislature except the appointment of
a commission to redraft the penul law
is Inexpedient and would accomplish
lie good result. All of the facts a
commission so appointed could pos
sibly obtain are now In the possession
of the district attorney of New York
as the result of some 40U0 or 5000
complaints investigated in bit of
fice." The methods employed by stock
swindlers to fleece the unwary arc
explained by Mr. Kilroe. "In the "eld
days," lie said,' " 'sucker lists' were
prepared and used by these unscrupu
lous promoters. On these lists were
the names of those known to be sus
ceptible to the illuslonary offers made
by salesmen of worthless securities.
This li.st has new been cast aside and
today every good citizen who happens
to be inexperienced in the world of
finance is a possible victim, pruvlded
he has a small bank account or gov
ernment bonds.
"Schools are established to mako
the smooth-tongued salesman more
'smooth' and books of Instruction are
prepared no that no one even with
small savings shall escape their lure.
This tffico Is flooded with . com
plaints of the shorn and plucked who
daily stream from Wall street to the
Criminal Courts building. The vic
tims. In many cases, have lost their
life savings, the widow's mlto, the
Liberty bond bought In a spirit of
pa'triutlsm by a weekly deduction
from the toiler's wage. The savings
bank book and the card of war sav
ings stamps alike have found lodg
ment in the swindler's net. jA
"The lure of speculation hus. of
course, produced a- corresponding
volume o-f attendant crime, corrup
tion and dishonesty. The Increase lii
the number and amount of Liberty
bond thefts during the past seven
or eight months is a matter of great
concern in the financial district and
in the administration of the criminal
law." '

REAL MEANING
OF THRIFT WEEK
It is essential that we should un
derstand the real meaniutr of thrift.
To betrin with, thrift is nut nienurd
lincss. It does not mean troinir with
out necessities, or avuidimr normal
pleasures and sane amusements, ur
netrlectin the cultural side of life, or
even refminimr from moderate indul
gence in luxuries. Thrift is compre
hended in iruimV without things we
cannot aiord, in planning to spend
triseTv nnd to save somethine, and in
ihiMiiiiL' tlie future in mind. It hi
! eludes inakinir use of what we already
