(letter last night given to the press clearly |
luas drawn with no such purpose upper- I

It is an informative letter, containing i
[acts which, ought to be possessed and di- i

request for an answer, direct or other- |
Hse, to the question which for weeks has '
[bsorhed a large measure of public at

Reasonably have been expected fur sup
port of bonds or the special sessio'ti. Kx- [
kept, in fact, by his transmission of hi? ,

fives no indication of his own position.
Thece omissions will be disappointing to j

In the utterances by the head of our

do th* things that are worth while for the
preservation of our national vigor nn?l
loyalty to Ideals upon which the future des
tiny of the republic rests that may not be

fundamental obligations of citizenship,

can always be depended on to make ef

any crisis which the country mnv have to

Outwitting the Hamulus
A SSl'MINO, as everybody seems to. that
i \ Harnum was right, is it or not a proper
function of government to prevent hum
hugging the people? More precisely, should
any governmental agency make it impos
sible for a free-born American citizen to
take a fiver in oil or mops or airplane stock
If he wants to?' The answer to these ques
tions seems to be "yes." for nearly every
State has public regulation of the sale of
securities within its borders, while Con
gress is asked to pass a national blue-sky
law The name is said to have originated
in Kansas because It was said that sales
men out there would sell shares of stock
tepresentlng ownership of the blue sky.
Addressing the Robert Morris Associates
in Richmond the other day. 11. I'. Mentiett.
editor of the United States Investor, said I
that the farmers of the land Have been
stung so long and so much that they are
wary of offerings of miscellaneous stock,
and salesmen of worthless issues are now
claiming as their victims factory operatives
and clerks, who lake long chances in the
effort to add to their incomes.
Any authority charged with the duty of
licensing the sale of stock will say that. th?
entire theory una practice of regulation is
on trial. There nr? offerings of shares In
enterprises entirely legitimate In their na
ture and representing business activities
of recognized standing in the business com
munity; there are offerings by inventors
and prospectors who have unbounded faith
in their rather doubtful projects and seek i
capital to enable them to proceed;^again. [
stock is offered with no idea other than to i
fleece the public, its promoters knowing full j
veil that the Investor may say farewell to '
his funds.
Effective discrimination between the
classes of offerings keeps regulatory au
thorities awake nights. They know that
they must cope with the sharpest wits <
among the promoters of the country, whose j
sole business in life is to gd wealth for j
themselves by ways that are dark anil tricks I
that are vain. Plausible indeed are some
of the prospectuses offered for acceptance i
and for licensing; meager is the equipment I
and the personnel provided for invtvtiga- |
tion. Perhaps the most difficult of all de- '
i islons is that involving an honest and sin- '
cere, but visionary and extremely doubtful, j
proposal to develop a natural resource or
an Invention.
So far. about all that can he done is the
exercise of the best, hut often fallible. Judg
ment of peculating officials as to whether
the venture offers a reasonable opportun
ity for success. It is all very well to say
that the purchaser should decide this for
himself; a? a matter of fact, he does not
do it. anil too often yields to the persuasion
of a stock salesman who knows his busi
Wise Borrowing

Indeed In its structure when compared with

Our financial structure is built upon credit.
No business man or corporation fears to
borrow the capital he needs properly to

possible because part of the population has
accumulated capital. That is cue of the
two basic reasons why communism is for
ever impossible in practice.
The two varieties of borrowers were illus

American Illiteracy
IK figures are a? consistently veracious as
1 an ancient bromide proclaims them to
be, thow of us who have been inclined to
l.o.t-t of our superior enlightenment a? a
nation may hereafter turn more generally
t,, ,t discreet and respectful silen. . The
te.earch division of the National Education
As-ociatlon has issued a bulletin which con
tains the figures calculated to dampen the
enthusiasm we have felt over our presumed
intellectual premiership According to this
bulletin, six persons of every 1 On in the
l'nlted States are^ illiterates. A? if this
wero not enough moderato our vanity,
the bulletin continues with the statement
Mint among the so-culled "enlightened na
tions" of the world the United States ranks
eleventh.
And this Is not the worst of It. Perhaps
we might eventually live down the Indict
ment as it Ik above presented. Rut the
Education Association proceeds to remove
more starch from our complacency. The
figures Riven above, the "bulletin points
out. were based on the census of 1920, and
include only the persons who actually con
fessed their illiteracy. The census enum
erator makes no test to determine whether
or not n person is illiterate, hut must ac
cept the statement of each Individual.
Moreover, the census figure* represent only
those persons who have had no schooling
whatever. If n person has had the slightest
amount of schooling, he Ih considered to
have attained that exalted station desig
nated as "literacy." Bv adopting the army .
definition of illiteracy?lack of ability "to
read ?nd understand newspapers and to
write letters." using the English language
we can easily run the total to a much
hither level; 24.9 per rent of the drafted
men were classed as illiterates.
To say I hat the situation here reflected
is grave may be to invito condemnation as
?n alarml.ft, but the figures certainly are
not flattering to the American poople. Per
haps a crumb of comfort may be extracted
from the fact that there are some nations
that actually are heblnd us. We may find
some romfort also In the statement that the
average annual decrease of illiteracy, if
maintained, will entirely r^inove the blot
in the course of eighty-four years. That
is something to which we may look forward.
Newspapers and Organs
REfJKET thero may be in some quaKers.
surprise there can be nowhere, over the
passing of the Virginia Tribune, the weekly
organ of the Republican party in this Sta^e.
Newspaper history Is so full of obituaries
of publications established and conducted
to ^erve a single propaganda that the won
der is any one has the tetneiIty to risk his
money in such an enterprise, or the time
to waste in trying it.
Representative Slemp filmself has had
two unfortunate and. perhaps, costly ex
periences with the publication of partisan |
newspapers, and doubtless recalls with pain ,
the Lynchburg and Mristol dailies of sad j
memory. 'fl^ese papers attempted to cover
the general news field and so appeal to the I
public aside from the attempts to make Re- I
publican sentiment. The Virginia Tribune. !
on the other hand, was frankly published i
solely as propaganda. The public will not
support such an undertaking: it has been
demonstrated so often as to be a truism.
Almost every newspaper is either com-' j
milted to the principles or policies of some
party or has strong leanings which it doo?
not hesitate to express editorially and to ;
apply to current problems as they arise.
Hut when it devotes its news columns to
partisan arguments masquerading as news,
or when it publishes invariably, but one i
side of n question, or when it is the per
sonal organ of an Individual or croup, or
when, as with the Virginia Tribune, it
se>ves a single idpa. the seeds of dissolu
tion are already sown in Its vitals.
