There may be means for prosecuting Such operators and there may mot be. It all depends upwn thelr representa- tioms but it is apparent that there is need for the prevention of just such methods of separating the people from their momey without delivering an equivalent velue. This is apparent in the selling of stocks and bonds as well as of property. The “blue sky™ law has been found of value in other statea ¥ operates as an investigator before purchase, a fact which the gnliible fail to comsider mecessary until the trick bas beem played Proteetion through prevention has 2 vaiue which cannot be overiocked. SENATOR ROOT'S SPEECH.

When he de- clares there is nothing in the pro- posed bill which overcomes the dangers o tafstion, but that the drafted bill opens the way for the same finaneial beresies which have previously been repudiated by the people he is offering food for serlous thought before ai- lowing party affiliations to be the de- ciding factor vpon which such am im- portant measure hinges, In polnting out some of the weak spots in democratie plan Senator Root has per- formed not only a valuable service but & duty in keeping with his office. It just such declarations which show up the fallacy of trying to hasten such important legislation without proper thought upon all sides. MRS. CATT'S PROGRAMME. When serious consideration is given to the utterance of Mrs, Carrie Chap- man Catt to the meeting of the suf- fragists in Washington that “If the constitution stands in our way, let's tear it up and make & new one” it savors of ot and revolution. This is gontemplating o serious step without @ yealization of what is advoeated. Bt is doubtful whether she expected amny serdous thought to be given to her suggestion, or eny ettempt made to canpy # out. It is charitable to be- lieve that she @id not but that she had more consideration for the foundation of our government then her statement xndi«md Her guggestion was couched in few wards, but 3t contemplated o jhuge task for as the Boston Post says: “There are several obstacles to such a programme. These must be appar- ent—the difficulty in the first place of tearing up the old, and next of sub- stituting Mrs. €att’s new one. So far we may sit quist. Indeed, it is mnot observable that any such purpose in-J spires our people, “We are reasonably well satisfled with the constitution as it stands, Bei- ter accept the placid attitude of Speak- they the | ®et so near the question as Mrs. Catt was apparently carried away by the zeal for hef cause. Her declaration resembled however - too much the attitude of the militant in| comparison with the peaceful suffragist and_the effort to carry out her in: tention would meet with the most se= rious kind of deserved opposition. *That was a terrible fire,” said Mrs. Pilker when she finished reading the newspaper. \ “Sure thing,” agreed Pilker, bright- 1y, as he filled his pipe. “People can’t be too careful,” Mrs. Pilker declared as she tucked the Bos- ton terrier into his blanket by the register. Then she wound the elock. “My, but I'm sleepy,” she said next. “I'm so glad we didn’t have to go any- where this evening and can .get a good long night's rest!” Pilker had gone comfortably to bed with a light at his elbow and was reading a magazine story, while Mrs. Pilker was brushing her hair 150 strokes. Presently he became aware that the brush was poised motionless in the air and that his wife wore the expresston of a deteetive in the act of detecting. “Tom!” she shot at him, quiver= ingly. “Do—do yeu smell anything queer?” “No,” declared Piiker after wrig- gling his nostrils a second. He went back to his story. “You must!” Mrs -Pilkner insisted, laying down the brush and raising a hand warningly. “It swells like smokc o VILLA'S ACTS. What effect the protests to Car- ranza concerning the acts of General Vilia in Chihuahua, will have is uncer- tain, but it is apparent that they are drawn with a reasonable ground, for action, if the reports which are sent forth from that city are founded upen facts. It must be apparent to Carran- #a, if his cause is to be looked upon as dbeing anvthing but brigandage that there must be respect paid to the for- eigners and their representatives, Gen- eral Villa has been conducting a suc- cessful campaign against the federals in the northern part of Mexico. So successful has he been that General Carranza has felt it safe to entrust his operations there to Villa as subor- dinate, and with apparent good judg- ment when it comes to fighting, but there are limits at which he must stop if he would refrain from international complications. 5 sald Pilker. “You're Such acts as depriving the forelzn ol hat et consulates of the neutrallty which s | What could ordinarily conceded in such instances| His voice iraliea omrant e rine and the oppressive action against the | wore a startled expression.
