Ho Explains Why Ho Docs Not Approve
OF tho Stock Quotation Dessd 0f the
Scranton Board of Trade.
Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A most remarkable article appears
In the Scranton Republican Of Sunday,
May 12. credited to the leading members
of the Scranton board OF trade, In which
they assert that every industry should
stand on Its merits or fall In the absence
OF substantial support" The above quota
ton shows that II any new industry In Its
trial to obtain the necessary support and
capital In these hard times should not yet
have reached the full requirement OF sub
stantial support, the Scranton board Of
trade Is determined to aid In crushing 1t
out. IL this bucket shop feature of the
board OF trade "is not intended for specu-
lative purposes, but only for the convent
ence OF members" as the president IL
credited with saying. what earthly reason
can be assigned for dealing with any
stocks. except those already established.
unless the ultimate intent be to demand
sacrifices from such new industries?
When injury results from the course of Il
corporate organization like this, and such
u mass of citizens protest against its con-
tinuance and most vigorously urge IL
change. to take what the president calls Il
''step backward" would apparently be
substantial evidence that the board re-
CARDS the interest of our citizens with
some favor. But to continue to gamble
ON with AN eighty-seven-cent commission
only, rs the secretary admits to be their
gross earnings Is too small business for
an organization which claims to work un-
der the advice of committee of men
whose characters are above suspicion.
The president says at Is one of the best
features of our board and 1t Is not intended
for speculative purposes. but only for the
convenience OF members" He fails to
state what that convenience OF members"
means. Boards of trade in other cities are
organized with higher motives and other
objects than serving the convenience Of
members Some of these objects. and very
worthy ones, too. are TO advise councils
relative to street repairs etc, park i'm
provements for the benefit of thousands of
poor children; public schools and improve
ments of Il general character. Where Is
the influence of our Scranton board of
trade in the direction of public good? Is
1t not often lost In looking after the con-
veniencc of its members? j. w. Bonita.

Not Complimentary to the Court.

Sufficient mediocrity appears to have
found it's way upon the Supreme bench
of the United States to render futile
the hope of those who had expected
| that upon a rehearing the whole, OBJ
noxious income tax would be declared
unconstitutional. BY casting his bal
lot with the four members of that
honorable tribunal who had already
affirmed the validity of a special rob-
berry of certain classes by the masses,
Justice Jackson has, indeed. insured
the stability Of the remnants of that
vicious measure, until such time as Re-
publican craftsmanship, operating in
freedom from the threatened veto of
the present egotistical chief executive,
can wipe the entire monstrosity off the
statute books.
But it cannot truthfully be said that
our once-honored Supreme court-that
one innovation in representative gov
ernment which foreign publiclsts have
50 profusely eulogized-comes forth
from the adjudication Of this case with
increased luster or credit. The sus-
picion Is general that its finding has
been reached not without an eye to
political necessity; and that in its de-
liberatlons, the plight OF a great party
and of its president, had as much to
do with influencing a verdict as had the
guage of the constitution Nor does It
tend to allay this suspicion to learn
that 1.-The other eight members of the
court knew from the first how Justice
Jackson would decide"-a knowledge
which. If actually possessed would
have left them free to divide so as to
put upon this one jurlst the burden Of
the whole decision.
If any other man than Grover Cleve-
land were now in possession Of the
executive chair, 1t would be in order
to suggest the Immediate calling Of an
extra session Of congress, for the re-
peal Of this odious class tax, and the
institution Of measures calculated to
preserve the nation from the humllla-
ton of further sales of Its bonds for
the payment Of current expenses. An
appeal to him, however, might better
be addressed to q stone image; for the
image would quite certainly surpass
him in regard for the welfare and the
honor Of those who do not share his
unpatriotic opinions.

VIII 1t Abandon It's Party?

The Press comments with approval upon
the editorial articles of two Republican
newspapers in Kentucky which declare

teemed contemporary Is preparing to
abandon the weak position of the interna-
tional bimetallists. In the hand-to-hand
