to lay the foundation for this very de-
sirable and we'll planned building and
now there are several other cottages

become so we'll pleased with Southern
Pines that he has purchased lot for
himself at the corner of Ash street and

early fall to build for a winter home.

good words for Southern Pines while

ILL-CONSIDERED TAFFY.

A pamphlet which has been sent broadcast over the
State by Z. Mont Reilly Of Kansas City, organizer OF
the first and only original Roosevelt Club in the
world. should be revised. 1t blossoms with a declara-
ton Of love and admiration for his patron saint which
will not stand the rough weather of political dis
cussion.
Says this forerunner: NO commanding figure
can appear on the political horizon to obscure the
powerful parsonage of Theodore Roosevelt in 1904.
He himself will be the Henry Clay of the Republican
party"
Good comfort is this for the old Ohio clique which
has been hoping that by some turn of tickle fortune
the Rough Rider would not be able to hold his seat
in the saddle. Nothing could so charm them as the
fond hope that he himself will be the Henry Clay
of 1904.
For, if memory mistakes not, Henry Clay was a
monumental failure as a presidential candidate.
Three times did he bring the cup almost TO his lips.
Somehow or some way the proverbial slip interviewed
to keep him out of the White House.
And if Roosevelt is to be the Henry Clay Of 1904
there will be waning and crashing of teeth among
the fortunate Federal officeholders now on the roster
of the Rely Roosevelt Club of Kansas City.

Amos o APPALLING FOR BELIEF
The final report of the February Grand jury, made
to Judge Ryan of the Criminal DIVISION OF the CIR
cult Court last Saturday. confirms the public belief in
a chronic condition of evil in parts of the municipal
government.
The Grand Jury making this report was well
equipped to ~enlighten the public mind. For many
days that body had been engaged in a searching in
vestigation OF the facts of municipal corruption. The
labor consequent upon such an investigation was
enormous. The February Grand Jury has worked
zealously and faithfully TO get at the truth. Its re-
port to Judge Ryan is the utterance of twelve citizens
who have conscientiously performed their civic duty.
They make known to the people of their city the truth
of municipal corruption as that truth was learned by
them through the most arduous service.
The report of the February Grand Jury sets forth
the fact that 1.-THE true condition of affairs is almost
too appalling for belief" 1t declares authoritatively
that "a farreaching and systematic scheme of cor
ruption has been carried on for years by members OF
the Municipal ssembly With few exceptions, the
rersort asserts. all franchises granted within the past
FEN wears have been secured through bribery. In one
instance of the granting of q franchise, it Is set forth,
certain Councilmen and Delegates received a total of
500 600 for their votes. So long has this practice OF
rho selling of votes existed, the February Grand Jury
announces fiat Municipal Assenblymen have come
70 regard the receipt of money for action on pending
measuraS =, q , LEGITIMATE perquisite of a legislator.
1tdSuIeS d al
The reporting GraHd Jury suggests a remedy for
existing Municipal Assembly conditions. The
method of selecting members, OF the House OF Dele
gates" the report recommends should be changed
by amending the Charter of the ci'y 10 permit the
nomination merely of the Delegates~,pE "arus ana
districts composed of two or more wards ahu cHosen
at the election by a majority of the qualiisa voters
of the city. Liberal compensation should be Pau ny
the city to such officers, to the end that honest l2eh
would and could afford to serve the city in that ca:
pacity." The purpose of such an amendment Of the
Charter is to insure that the decent and honest ele-
ment of city voters shall have a voice in the election
of every member of the House of Delegates.
This recommendation of the February Grand Jury
should result in a movement for the necessary Char
ter amendment. In the meantime the task of punish
ing the boodlers should be prosecuted with the great
est vigor. ST. Louis must be purged Of these thieves
by means of their incarceration in the State Peni-
Tertiary or by compelling them to choose voluntary
exile instead. They have had their day of looting
and boodling and vote-selling and wholesale robbery.
They must be driven from the Municipal Assembly
and then the Municipal Assembly must be thereafter
guarded against becoming the headquarters of a gang
of brigands and the scene of a corruption almost too
appalling for belief"

WORLD'S-19O3-FAIR
~BUCKET-SHOP TAX.

The ~conferees of the House and the Senate at
Washington have agreed on everything in connection
with the war revenue repeal bill except the question
Of repeating or retaining the tax on bucket shops.
On this question the %conferees are in a deadlock, the
Senate holding out for the retention of this tax and
the House for its repeal.
The bucketshop men contend that the tax is I'M
Just because the legitimate exchanges of the country
are not similarly taxed. The argument is not good.
The transactions on the legitimate commercial eX-
changes of the country are a benefit to the agricul-
turai class, in combining speculation to responsible
transactions and giving a definite location for the
ascertainment of prices, the organizations themselves
being directed by men of the highest integrity. The
bucket shop has no relation TO commerce except it be
to depress prices by taking people from the regular
avenues Of trade, decreasing the number of bidders
on the regular exchanges. thereby diminishing COM
petition and lowering the prices TO the producer.
IS This tax on the bucket shop is of great moral
weight also. 1t is not excessive or prohibitive, for 1t
merely requires bucket shops which do not transact q
legitimate business to make public announcement of
that fact by the use of revenue stamps. 1t serves
notice on the dealer that he is not engaged in a legiti-
mate transaction, but is merely gambling. 1t serves
as q warning to the unwary who might otherwise be
tempted to indulge in speculation under the impress
sion that the transaction was one ~legitimatized by law
and carried on by officials representing various bust.
ncss communities.
The argument that the imposition of this tax is a
recognition and a legitimatizing of the bucket shop
10 one raised by the bucket-shopm men themselves most
ingeniously, in the hope that by starting this cry
against themselves, they may thereby secure immuni-
~ from the tax.
Any objection that may be made against the grain
exchanges because they encourage speculation may
be urged with tenfold force against tie bucket shop;
but In addition one of its greatest evils is the attrac-
ton 1t has for men OF small salaries, clerks and
minors to squander that which belongs TO their fami-
lies In attempts to become suddenly wealthy. there
being none of the safeguards around the bucket shop
which the commercial exchange always provides as
TO minors and the authority of those on its floor to
do business.
The bucket-shop tax should remain and it is to be
