A man found in possession of burglar’s kit or a revolver, for instance, is subject to summary arrest, whether he actually committed a crime or not. It is a wise preventive measure. Yet the state's statutes are innocent of any provision to prevent crimes by stealth frauds perpetrated by the smooth-tongued confidence man. The promoter may : himself of worthless stock certificates, potentially far more dangerous than the burglar’s kit, and be entirely within the law until it is proved that he has actually defrauded some one. © hisis rather like locking the stable after the horse has got out—because the vic- tim can get little comfort from criminal prosecution after his money is gone. One of the vital needs of the state, as The Star has often declared, is a blue sky law—a measure which would lock the stable before the horse gets away. : Such a law was presented ‘to the last legislature, but, for reasons best known to Gov. Hart and his henchmen, it died soon after it appeared. It will be many months before another legislature meets—but it is not too early to fenew a campaign for a blue sky law; because powerful, sinister interests are opposed to the measure, and it will take a long time to work up enough public interest to insure success. Se if you want to see the investing public protected, you should start working for law now. : If the demand becomes universal—as it should be, because it affects all our pocket- be next legislature will not dare to amend the law as it did the last one, nor rill the governor dare to veto it as he did before. p result will be a cure for promotion diseases which will be effective before it be- necessary to bury our empty pocketbooks. ‘ Wonder if Obregon would recognize West Vir- ginia? ‘ Women claim it’s their own hair because they bought it. i It must be a real disappoint- ment to the “old guard” to be compelled again to hoist the sign “vacant” over this Iowa judge ship.

And often In my dreams I see its lanes and houses beckon me, and in imagination hear familar voices calling near; for distance lends enchantment yet, to bind my heart—lest I forget. I tell you this that you may see the thoughts your heading brings to me; but when I read the items there, my castles-In-the-alr, for all tho news you congregate ts ju round-about ‘the state To lots of us who read The St, it may be North or South or Kast, so why not give us, now and then, again? The Old Home Town,” I truly hope, can be expanded in its scope, so that, whatever town we claim, your column might Include its name; I'm sure, if you'd permit us to, we'd fill the column up for you.
