ORIGIN OF TICKET SCALPlNG.
Started In Wheeling, W. Va, . Quarter OF
Century Ago.

Vtarted In wheeling, w. va Su"Es"h VI
Century Ago.
Campbell Hubbard, nail traveller, OF
Wheeling, recently said to a Globe
Democrat man: II have just been
reading the decision of Judge Nash, at
Dallas, in the ticket broker case under
he new Texas law, intended to do
away with the scalpers' business. It
strikes me rs being an exceedingly
clear aud a forceful exposition of the
subject matter involved il tho IraSier
prosecution. 1t is closely in line with
decisions in favor of the scalpcrs i'll
Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
The gravamen of these decisions is that
an unused railway ticket, or an unused
portion Of ticket, is legitimate prop
erty, and any law which interfcrcs with
its disposition by sale is contrary to
public policy, if not in direct conflict
with the constitution of the United
States. This decision of Judge Nash
will help the scalpers, not only down
in Texas, but all over the country.
The extent to which the ticket brokers
help the weak roads against the strong
ones is but little realized, and without
their aid many of the lines would go
under. 1t is their method of cutting
rates secretly to stimulate business,
and the brokers are really regular
agents of these companies. by the bye
perhaps you don't know that the scalper
business originated in my town
Wheeling. 1t was about twenty-five
years ago. We had n couple of bright
young fellows therc-Upton w. Dorsey
and another chap named Frank. They
took notion to speculate on small
scale in tickets of the Baltimore 4
Ohio, and the first scalping transaction
that ever occurred in the history o
railroading took place there in Wheel
ing. The Baltimore & Ohio company
made big fight upon it, AMI the cas'
went to the supreme court Of thu
; United States. The result was that tho
supreme court handed down it's fainou.
decision to the effect that when n mai
buys ticket for SO many miles o
transportation he is entitled to trnvc
those miles. regardless of the limi
dates stamped upon the ticket by thu
: company's agents. From that time OF
, the scalpcr's business 1ourishcd. an,
spread with amazing rapidity all owe
the country. 1t is now as safe and Il
, legitimate line of business as banlin,
or insurance or manufacturing, and is
moreover, a mighty help to the travci
