are concerned, generally speak
ing, it apparently makes but
tie difference whether operating
in bucket shop is called le.
climate business, speculation,
betting or gambling. The effect,
1T seems, in many instances,
is the same by whatever name
the process is designated. -
And likewise the object sought
to be attained is the same, name
ly, to profit by the fluctuations
in the price of one or more com
modities. 1t will probably be
conceded that not one operator
in a thousand, in bucket shop,
ever buys or sells contract with
the view Of ultimately getting or
delivering the commodity itself
which his contract calls for,
whether it be cotton, grain, meat
or what not. He simply wagers
his money against that of some
unknown party that the price of
the article in question will either
advance or decline, as the case
may be Now, isn't that betting
isn't it, in fact, gambling p
Ii not, why not!
There appears to be at least
one difference to the credit and
in favor of the gambler. The
man. for example, who stakes his
money on a game of cards not
only "backs his Judgment
which is about all the bucket
shop operator does-but he does
far more: he exercises his skill
in the manipulation of cards and
brings to bear upon the contest
his previously acquired knowl-
edge of the game. If he wins,
therefore, his success may be due
more TO his individual effort than
to mere chance. Not so with the
bucket shop operator. Once he
puts up his money he is COM
pletely at the mercy of the mar
ket fluctuations, so long as he
holds on to his contract. He has
no opportunity for the employ
ment Of either science or skill,
as in the case OF the card player
He may be said 10 be nonentity.
His individuality certainly cuts
no figure.
The gaming table has long been
recognized as a menace to society
and is therefore under the ban Of
the law. IT the bucket shop be
open to similar objection, as ap
pearances indicate, why is it lie.
@alized instead Of being relegated
o the inhlbitory junk shop along
With the gaming table ?

general interest.
BY all means something should
have been done with the dispen-
sary. The system should hav
been either reformed along linss
suggested by Senator TiIlman
am others or Else abolished and
Iocai option adopted. AS it IS,
practically no change has been
made except in the management
Of the state institution. The
sa'Ie opportunities for graft and
IA c1Ity generally remain.
The legislature is also ceusur
able for killing biennial sessions,
a matter already passed upon
and approved by the people,rhem
selves. 1t should have done some
thing toward solving the problem
OF the equalization of property
assessments TOR taxation. But
all the acts Of omission of our
lawmakers are too numerous to
be enumerated here.

been suggested that the United

Ignorant Legislators.

We have thought for a long
time that a man should not be
allowed to become a member of
the legislature until he has
travelled around some over the
state and gained some knowl-
edge of the conditions in the
different sections of the common
wealth and formed some idea o.
the needs and wishes.
Here is a case in point that il
lustrates what we mean.
The lower house of the gener
al assembly passed a bill the
other day prohibiting the ship.
ment out Of the state Of shad.
The passage Of his bill was
due to the blind ignorance of
those members who voted for it.
1t was due to nothing else un-
der the sun.
There is just as much good
reason for a law Of this kind as
there would be for a law 10 pro
hibit the shipment of cotton out
of the state in order to Irotect
the mills, or to prevent he ship
ment of watermelons out of the
state because town folks and ne
groes do not get as many as
they can eat at one cent apiece
Fortunately there is reason to
believe that there is more il.
telligence iE the senate than
there Is in the lower house. and
there is hope that the bill will
be AiIled as il deserves to be.
The unfortunate thing is that
those people who are irving TO
develop the fsbing industry ON
