b TRUTH I States and Canada, by granting a permanent injunction to Mr. Savage against Messrs. Max Ilochstim and Philip Blau, proprietors of the Or plicum Concert Garden of New York, who produced, without permission, a German version of "The Merry I Widow" under the title of ''Die Lust- igc Witwc" at the Orphcum. o I BEATING A SHARK. I A Rochester man, interested in our I suggestion that the salary-loan sharks I who fatten on the wages of badly paid I clerks could not exist without the as- I sistancc of the newspapers which .1 )i print their advertisements, sends us two items from a Rochester paper. One is the five-line announcement of D. H. Tolman, "offices in sixty-two principal cities," that he loans money ( to salaried people without security. The other clipping is the report of a suit brought against Tolman by Paul Laurent to recover $20, the amount paid in excess of the principal and the legal rate of interest of five successive loans of $27 each, within a year. The jury in the Municipal Court found in Laurent's favor. It is a case which should have wide publicity, but in his letter our ""Rochester correspondent makes this comment: "For my part, I can not understand why the busi ness office censor of the paper did not blue-pencil this news item." Such news usually is suppressed. To the "Democrat and Chronicle," therefore, are due all the more thanks for being bold enough to print it. m LEGISLATION INEFFECTIVE. The Women's Educational and ln , dustrial Union of Boston backed a ; bill in the Massachusetts Legislature J last year requiring full records to be J made of salary loans, and adequate inspection of the business maintained. ' A mass 'of striking evidence was col lected and presented. And then: ' "The legislation asked for was en acted last year, except that (and here 1 one may read how enthusiastic the Massachusetts law-makers must have been) the recording clause in the bill (the clause that was most vital) was . ti ls' and the penalty omitted. This ' much of a victory was won by one vote after a fight in the Legislature lasting over months. 'However, at al most the same time the Governor signed the bill, the Boston Police 1 Commission abolished the office of Loan Inspector, making policemen on the beat responsible for the ad justment of complaints. Since that time there has been, practically, no attempt at inspection, and the law has not materially affected the situation in Boston." hi When it comes to finding ways to beat the law, these usurers can givo the execrated corporation attorney "cards and spades, and beat him out a mile." But if such newspapers as the Boston "Post" would refuse to take their advertising, they would at '1 once and very disastrously feel the pinch. 1 f - 1 Independent 4 A 1 II 1 M SI A t Phone m M i iW Jt (vmB Bell Phone m m M i LWmGr WT No. exchange No. 227 Calls all JJ QSrJcrnnTVXS 22-Coll all Depa t,ment.s - Departments "Perrins" GlovesComplete line-All lengths-16 to 20 button Kids and Suedes--AU shades for street or evening wear-Prices right.
