It is a charge which should be filed by the prosecuting attorney of King county against every wildcat promoter in Seattle. Heretofore nothing but civil suits have been brought against these promoters and their companies. Fighting wildcats with civil suits is as ineffectual as roping steers with fish lines, SUFFERERS FROM THE OPERATIONS OF WILDCAT PROMOTERS OWE IT TO THEMSELVES AND THE PUBLIC TO BRING CRIMINAL PROSE- CUTIONS AGAINST THE SWINDLERS. Nothing but beneficial results can follow such prosecu- tions, if undertaken in good faith by the prosecuting at- torney. The dishonest wildcat promoter who has sold stock in worthless prospects and abandoned mines which he repre- gented to be good properties, will then find that the peni- tentiary is his proper residence. Few of these rascals can escape the penitentiary if prop- @tly prosecuted. The false representations by means of which they have unloaded their stocks, constitute clear of- fenses against the law prohibiting the obtaining of money under false pretenses. ‘The prospectus of the average wildcat company is suffi- cient proof to convict the promoters, when backed up by the evidence of one or more of the victims of the swindle. Take your case to the prosecuting attorney of King county. Do not waste time and money in the civil courts They Are Hit Hard Denunciation and abuse is being profusely heaped upon ‘The Star by the men who are engaged in wildcat mining @perations in this city, The expose which has been made of their nefarious business has been so complete as to leave them without defense, so they resort to cheap vituperation. The Star is in receipt of many letters and communica- tions endorsing its attack upon the swindlers, several of which are published in today's issue. It is desired that those citizens who have been robbed of their money by these wildcatters will bring, or send the facts to this office. Already a great number of cases have developed, where- in widows and orphans have been robbed. Even while this editorial was being written a widow woman called up over the telephone that she had invested her all in one of the wildcat companies. She asked anxiously if there was any way in which she could save even a little of her money. The Star knows of no method. The money is lost. BUT IT WOULD BE WELL FOR HER TO SEE THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. Laws to Prevent Wildcatting “ There will be a vigorous fight instituted in the legisla- ture to secure the enactment of laws which will make it im- possible for wildcat mining companies to operate in this state. It is intimated that certain Spokane members will op- pose the passage of any restrictive legislation of this sort. The city of Spokane is, like Seattle, a hot-bed for wild- cat enterprises and the attitude of these legislators is darkly significant. It would be well for their constituents to watch the course of these legislators closely. Do You Want to Help? ‘The Star has, quite frequently of late, been asked to secure ald for fatherless families tn financial distress It has willingly done #0, in several cases, after thorough inves tigation revealed the urgent need existing. In one recent instance, the readers of thie newspaper, quickly responding to its call, saved a wid and children their home, by paying off the mortgage when it was about to be foreclosed. In another case a forlorn shack was made habitable and pro visions and money furnished in abundance to a family where the mother was il! in bed, with half famished little children around her. In every instance where The Star has asked tts readers to aid in relieving distress, there has been a generous response, and those who helped have felt the better and happier for it. It ia not the province of a newspaper to conduct a charity bureau, and The Star proposes to leave general relief work to the Properly constituted organizations of the city, but there are times when it does like to give its great cirele of supporters a direct chance to do themselves good by bringing plenty and happiness into homes where poverty and gloom has prevailed There is certainly no excuse for the existence of acute misery and suffering among the weaker of God's creatures, in this land of overflowing pleaty, and in these days of abounding prosperity. It should be suffictent to know of snch cases, In order to find the means of quick relief. Today The Star proposes to tell its readers of a case that needs this quick attention. And there is no necessity for mentioning names—in print. A poor widow living with three small children in a shack near Madrona, who has tried to sew for a living, has been finally stricken down by exhaustion, and now les very {ll In a Seat- tle hospital Her children are being temporarily cared for by neighbors, She has no money. The shack in which she lives is to be torn down in the spring by the owner of the property. There is a hospital bill to pay. The woman is weak and frail, and unfitted for the severe struggle she has been making to keep her family and herself by sewing Do the kind hearted readers of The Star want one more oppor tunity to help make this old world brighter and happier? Here is a chance. A considerable sum of money is needed first. Next, a position where the mother can earn her living when she gets well. The Star will see to it that al! contributions reach this woman and her family. It would much prefer than all of the amounts sent in be small, not exceeding, in any case A thousand small con tributions would be far better than ten large ones It is up to The Star's readers now. Incidentally, The Star gives its $5. Send or come.
