Young Crowd
Some pcop.’e entertain pessi-
mistic views about the moral
character and purposes of the
present generation of young peo-
ple. Yet these same young folks
are having far better advantages
than the previous generation had.
Many of them are getting the
higher education, and coming in
contact with teachers and leaders
of wisdom and idealism.
A vast body of them belong tol
organizations like the lioy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Y. M. (J. A. and Y. \V.
C. A. and learn al sorts of good
lessons and are constantly stimu-
lated with line ideas. it would
seem as it' a. multitude of these
young people, instead of degener-
ating, ought to have much better
conceptions of life, as the result
of these inspiring experiences,
than their lather. and
had at. the same age.
0n the, other hand, a large body
of young people show the. ill ef-
fects of other influences. Lax
family discipline is one condition
that is allowing many of them to
come up wrong. Formerly par-
ents retained better control over
their children than is maintained
by the. average family at this.
time.
A lot of young people. are al-
lowed to run lose at an age, and
they get into wild habits of con-
duct, especially with reference to
relations between the sexes. But
for these conditions parents are
ten times as responsible as the
children are. When fathers and
mothers awake to their responsi-
bilities and exercise the. func-
tions of parenthood, many infor-
tunate. tendencies will disappear.
The young people of today are
doing more active work than ever
before. Where the fathers and
mothers used to loaf idly in vaca-
tions, thrre is a general tendency
to work now. Active tasks keep
many from getting into mischief.
Altogether it would seem strange
if the young folks of today would
not come, out quite as well as
those of the generation before.

Oil Stock Swindles
Estimates drflcr as to the
amount of money the fake oil
companies and other swindling
stock sellers are taking away
from the American public. yearly.
The conservative figures are $35,-
000,000; the highest guess reach-
es half a billion dollars. But
there is no doubt that the sum is
large; no doubt that the criminals
should be exposed and punished.
The Federal Government will
win high approval if the proceed-
ings it has begun against the oil
stock swindlers are successful in
curbing these frauds and jailing
some of the swindle-rs. The Post
Oilicc Department and tlieibe-
partmcnt of Justice are now at
work in the matter and with their
powers of investigation and pro-
secution should produce results.

have done for years in warning

public and in the fact that oil
hunting, like gold digging, is al-
ways a speculative enterprise,
even when engaged in by the most
honest of men. The investor has
to take chances. But there is a
vast difference between the fail-
ure of an oil company which has
tried its best and the failure of
one in which the organizers have
devoted their energies almost en—'
tirely to draining the pockets of
crednlous investors.
The fake company has been a
parasite of the petroleum indus-
try since its beginning. The
swindlers were relatively as thick
during the Pennsylvania boom
fifty years ago as they are now.
With the opening of every new
field a new crop of them springs
up to prey on a new cro of vic-
tims. It is time that tlie parsv
sites were exterminated.
