Fake Stocks
The trial of three men in Pater-
NI. 3'- J.. who are distinctly re-
membered locally. charged with
stock issue at the time of its sale.
mils attention anew to the preval-
Oncc of stock frauds.
Many Norwalk residents parted
with their savings. following the
pleadings of these same three men
facing trial, and bought stock in the
now defunct Ford 'i'cchnical Labor-
atories. .
That an attempt is now under
way to resurrect the concern under
‘ new management and give to the
local stockholders. according to
published accounts. some value on
their investment is not part of the
present discussion.
We are informed that the defunct
company never did control a patent-
abie article. that its value was ques-
tionable and that even when an or-
der wp recehed the lighting plant
could not be delivered.
It is regrettable that those facts
Were not ascertained before money
was placrd at the disposal of men
who, it would seem. were more
notions of their own commissions
than that of the smings of'investA
ors.
One of the reasons for the recur-
rence of fral‘is, and this is a local
fact. is that investors when they
have lost their savings keep their
fin'bhths tightly shut. ashamed of the
”mucky. int-toad of broadcasting

In one of the appointinents an-

Alfred C. Baldwin is by 'na‘mcans

and has givcn him a broad knowl-
yldge of the state. its character and
"is
needs. ms p’osiuon as clerk of bills
has been an especially important one
of late years. It has been his task.
as a trained and espert lawyer. to
scrutinize all the "stui‘l"——the term
used adviscdly—submitted. and
detect any measures of obvious un-
constitutionality or folly. He should
call the attention of heads of com-
mittees to any weak points in mass.
ures submitted. that they may be
corrected before a trusting Legisla-
ture has passed on them. instead of
going on the stat 7e books to make
litigation afterwar . This is a part
of the important duties of Judge
Baldwin. and he has done them well.
None of the many who know him
dreams of doubting that he will
make a Superior court judge admir-
able in every way. He is preemi—
nently the sort of man we want for
that bench.
The Governor was bound by fair-l
ness and precedent to appoint a
Democrat to one of the judgeships.
He did well to appoint one who has
been so prominent in his‘ party as
to be head of the State Central com-
mittee. Thereby he has forestalled
any criticism on the Democratic
side. As for the'Republicans. they
recognize in' Judge Yeomans a wor-
thy representative of the opposition.
and in his preferment an act of jus-
tice. There is no question 'of his
ability or experience. He makes a
good companion to Judge Baldwin.
