LOST 1T IN BUCKET SHOPS.


Ernest E. johnson embezzled f4S500
of the deposits Of the Commercial
Bank Of Duluth, of which he was
boookeeper, and the bank suspended,
causing the failure of other banks.
johnson lost tne money in stock
speculation. He said in an inter-
view:
! ''Most Of my transactions were
through the bucket shop Of Edwards,
Woods & Co. You understand that I
am not excusing myself, but I do say
that Edwards, Woods & Co. must
have Known that a man drawing q,
salary Of $40 month as I was, could
not be marginins stockswith checks Of
$500 and $1,000 without something be-
ing wrong. blame the bucket shop
as much as do my self almost. They
must have konwn-I do not see how
they could fail to know that all was
not right.
II have been sitting here all night
thinking it over and the more think
the more I am convinced that
negligence in the bank and unlawful
announcement in the bucket shops
are deeply responsible
Jouhson's father says:
II cannot see why in the world the
bucket shop where my son did bust
ness, knowing that they must that he
was on q small salary, could have
permitted matters to shape themselves
as they have without either coming to-
myself or to Mr.. Leland and making
inqiry as to whether Ernest was Plug
ing on his own or somebody's elses
money
The Duluth Herald says that there
is much severe condemnation for the'
bucket shops from all sides. The
manager of the Coe Commission Office
said he had investigated Johnson s.
trading. but johnson claimed to have
made $4,000, and to be using hat.

and better ways - ~
The business. Of. the Post-office Depart
ment has grown enormously in the last 10
years. and bout the only change there has
been the addition of a few clerks every
little while to get the added business out.
Now it is discovered that Somebody has
Numbered in being extravagant in order

and that mistakes have been made in
every arm of the service. which will cost
the Government a pretty penny. yet were
not necessary 1t is also discovered that
these things We're easy to do, because
there is no sort of check on the heads of
Departments, and not much check on the
clerks. 'Antiquated methods is the rea-
son of the present ruction. 1t is not
thought that anybody has been really dis
honest. As matter of fact you won't
find very many people who believe that
it is dishonest to fritter away the Govern
ment money. ''The Government pays for
it," so let it go.
Postmaster-G General Payne seems dis
posed to inject little new life into the
old concern. however. and before he gets
through with the Investigation which is
now in progress it is very likely that there
will be a number of improvements in the
way of doing business there. Capt.
Henry Castle. Auditor for the Post-ofiice
Department, has been for two or three
years urging that more business-like
methods be adopted, and his advice will
now be followed.

The laws set forth in this volume lie at
the foundation of evolution. and show that
a man may cause his children to be born
with greater or less intelligence, as he
chooses. . By the proper application of
these laws, a poet. musician. statesman or
