But what of that? The same New York newspaper has doubtless printed a list many times longer of many hun- dreds of Americans murdered—not in Mexico by Mexicans—but in this country by their own countrymen duriag the same two years, and we don’t seem to be at all éxcited by it. The Mexicans are not doing one- tenth as much to rid the world of Americans by violent and lawless processes as the Americans them- selves are. We are very much in favor of protecting the lives of Americans in Mexico, but we are even more in favor of protecting the lives of Americans in the United States where there are so many more of us and life is so much bet. ter worth living.

That law, it effective, is one of the most important passed by the Legislature for years and will cure evils that have bitten deep into the good name and prosperity of Florida. It was designed to checkmate swind- ling promoters with their worthless stocks and bonds and fake schemes to rob the credulous and unwary, but not to put the slightest impediment ik fn the way of lezitimate enterprise. What the editor of the Palatka News says about this law he helped to make is worth considering and we take from his article the follow. i ing: 1 “It is true that all corporations, legitimate as well as ‘wild cat,’ de- giring to sell their stocks, bonds or other cecurities to the people, must first go before th» comptroller and make a showing of their assets and S ————— been oblige “Cheap” clothes like “cheap” Jewelry, soon show more than what you aetually pay for.

That phrase deserves to live and ‘be crystalized among the really wise and pithy maxims of the day.
