heUnited States

Supreme> Court has decided that
the buying of cotton or grain flu
lures and stocks on margins is not
gambling.
at pleases a good many people
to speak of the Stock Exchange
and the grain and cotton pits as
great gambling places, and no
doubt they are sincere in doing so,
but in future they will be liable to
be called to account for libel, II
they persist in calling these resorts
of Spectators gambling places.
"The Supreme Court was not
unanimous in rendering its decis-
ion. Two of the justices, Justices
Harlan and Brewer, dissented.
Justice Holmes, who delivered the
opinion of the court, said the eX-
changes were the places where the
prices of securities and products
were made. In them the specula-
ton is by competent men and is
the self adjustment of society to
the probable. Its value is well
known as means of avoiding or
mitigating catastrophe, equalizing
prices and providing for periods of
want.
"Having this decision to support
| them, those who take part in grain
corners and stock pools may justly
feel that they are doing the world
a real service and that instead of
being condemned they should have
the mark of public approval placed
upon them.
at is evident that Justices Har-
Ian and Brewer don't know as much
about grain and cotton futures and
stock transactions as their associ-
ates on the bench. Perhaps they
have never risked any money in
the grain or cotton pit. If they
had had actual experience in such
transactions they might have joined
a majority of the court in saying
that the transactions were not
gambling"

FORTUNE IN FORTUNE TELLING

In one page of a New York pa
per appear twenty advertisements
of astrOlOgists, clairvoyants, palm
lists, trance mediums, horoscope
readers, fortune tellers, card read
ers, etc. These fakirs have many
customers, or victims, or there
would not be so many of them in
the business. The majority. of
their customers are women, though
there are many men among them.
Ignorance and superstition go to-
gether, and the more of the former
the more of the latter. There are
persons, however, who consider
themselves intelligent who patron.
ize so-called fortune tellers and
mediums. Some of these do so
secretly, having a faint sense of
realization that they are making
1OOlS OF themselves; WnlIe others,
unconscious of or Indifferent to the
ridicule or the contempt they in
vite, openly acknowledge their be-
lief in such folly. Superstition is
a curious thing, deaf to all reason
and blind to the truth which com
mon sense teaches. 1t is astOnish-
ing how many persons believe in
signs and omens and tokens, the
power of divinatiOn and second
sight. Negroes, of course, are the
most numerous, then come whites
of limited knowledge, and then
persons who ought to be far too
intelligent to be influenced by such
mummery.
