the President to Senator Gallin

In his final speech on the

rate bill on the statue books
A caller discussed the incident

BUCKET SHOPS.

A few months ago we stated at
length In these columns our oh.
Jections to what are known as
bucket shops. We did not 90 so
far as to characterize them as
gambling places, for the reason
that we were not then, and are
NOT now, sufficiently informed as
TO their methods of operation to
form a we'll defined opinion on
the subject. We dwelt more par
Sicularly on the demoralizing and
pernicious effects of the habit of
speculating engendered by buck
et shops-effects which are eyi
teuC TO the most casual observer.
Since writing and publishing
what we did on the subject how
ever, we have seen number of
strong articles in other publica-
4 ons In which the bucket shop is
pictured as a "gambling hell"
u nd all that kind of thing. Such
Language is too strong for us, not
being any better posted than we
are on the matter; but we are
more than ever convinced that
the country would be infinitely
better off were there no bucket
s.ops in existence. They have,
unquestionably, wrecked lhous-
Rnds Of homes, ruined the lives
OF legiOns of their patrons and
developed the spirit Of specula-
hon IN as many more who are
destined to meet with a similar
tate, unless they summon sufi.

bucket shop habit altogether

bucket shops very naturally re
