These men manipulate about $20,000,000,000 of the wealth of the United States each year, retaining and pocketing from this operation between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 annually, as “fees,” and untold millions as stolen spoils The spirit of the laws which govern American institutions is repugnant to the Wall st. principality, and though its people enjoy all the, fruits and protection of American republican institutions, they are not restricted by them asked to report their operations to any branch of the govern ment, and when they are caught flagrantly transgressing the tules of society, they escape paying the price in the courts. These are often referred to as annexes of the principality. In them there operates a mysteriotss and powerful code that ap They are not Pears to supersede the plain letter of American law in cases) affecting the aristocracy. Outside of the celestial hierarchy this code is not understood, but it is known to be effective Though Wall st. has invented the commercial and many} economic evils that plague the country, no public official or no legislative body has ever, to this date, assumed to investi- gate it or its system. It’s a strange street, isn’t it? In the federal court in New York today two Wall st. princes are on trial charged with a conspiracy which caused the crash of a great national bank, one of the many safe deposit vaults of the principality. This bank failure, with others, precipitated what will be recorded in history as the “1907 panic.” You, gentle reader, may ‘be familiar with what that panic really caused in this county. It is probable that you haven't forgotten it- yet. Morse and Curtis only played the usual Wall st. game It is an amazing fact that their defense in court is that, accord ing to the Wall st. code, they did nothing wrong. It was not “wrong” for Prince Morse to protect his private interests by jeopardizing mouey depositors had intrusted to a bank in his control. ji The latest scandal from the Wall st. principality reveals nothing that people who follow events have not known. It is & repetition of the twice told tale of high finance corruption It is a story that we are inclined to pass over as unimportant because we are tired of talk about “dummy directors,” “stock manipulation,” “wash sales,” “trusts,” “watered stocks’ the terms of the modern financial system Tired? How strange, when more than half of the people of the United States have been directly affected and have suf- fered from the hard times that Morse and his fellow aristocrats in the principality of Wall st. precipitated one year ago If you think of Wall st. as a strect, forget it, and think of what it really is and what it means to you and this nation. The lesson of the Morse case is that we will control com- mercial abuses of the day when we control the ‘principality of Wall st. THE DARKER SIDE Many people in the United States seem to be coming to be- lieve that separations, divorces and remarriages are things to be looked upon with complaisance-—that they are a sort of neces- sary and really agreeable phase of modern social conditions We read of a scandal two divorces. We read of remarriage—perhaps two. have new parents. i Well, what's the odds, lots of folks say. Evérybody’s sat isfied. It’s better for the man and scandal to be married to each other Then we read of a divorce—perhaps Children woman who caused the And the deserted husband and wife, even if they do not marry again, should be content in that they are better off than when mismated Is it so? Sometimes there's a peep behind the curtain, and the frightful conditions that often follow these things, in the long after years, A few days ago David T.
