EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting illustration from 1907 depicts a supernatural intervention in a corrupt boardroom. The Spirit of Honesty, represented as a ghostly figure, startles the unsuspecting men engaged in questionable business dealings. Labeled in the scene are various unsavory characters, including a Corporation Lawyer, Fake Promoter, Secret Rebater, Lobbyist, Public Service Grafter, Public Exploiter, Hypocrite, Employed Perjurer, Speculating Trust Company, and even a Yellow Dog Keeper. The Yellow Dog, a symbol of political loyalty, and several sheets of Watered Stock, a form of manipulated stock certificates, lie scattered on the table. A sign on the wall reads "Don't Knock - Boost," suggesting an atmosphere of clandestine dealings. The appearance of the Spirit of Honesty serves as a stark reminder of the moral decay that had infiltrated the business world during this era. This powerful image, created over a century ago, continues to resonate with us today, highlighting the importance of integrity and transparency in all aspects of life.
