Congress is receiving petition and
memorials from farmers organiza.
tions and commercial bodies, pro-
testing at the attempt OF certain in
terests which are seeking to restrict
their markets, and thus lower prices,
by means Of legislation making it
illegal TO buy and sell for future dcliv-
cry, grain, cotton and produce on
established exchanges. Several bills
to this effect have been introduced
both in the Senate and in the House,
and are now being considered in COM
mittee While their avowed object
is to stop speculation, they would in
effect ovcrturn in moment, say the
petition, the development of fifty
years by which the producers OF grain
and other staples now are able TO sell
TO world market. The subject is in
reality an old one, an has been pas
scd upon by the Supreme Court Of
the United States, which held that
future contracts on the Board Of
Trade are not gambling transactions"
This decision which is frequently re-
ferred TO, epitomizes the situation in
the following terse words: "Of course
in modern market contract arc not
confined to scale for immediate de-
livery People will endeavor to fore
cast the future and to make agree
ments according to their prophecy.
Speculation OF this kind by competent
men is the sclf-adjustment of society
to the probable. Its value is well
known as means OF avoiding or
mitigating catastrophes, equalizing
prices and providing for periods of
want, II is true that the success of
the strong induces imitation by the
weak, and that incompetent persons
bring themselves to ruin by under
taking to speculate in their turn. But
legislatures and courts generally have
recognized that the natural evolutions
of complex society generally are to
be touched with only a very cautious
hand, and that such coarse attempts
at a remedy for the waste incidents
to every social function as simple
prohibition and laws to stop its being
are harmful and vain"

When we met at breakfast the next
morning there were no signs of the
breach between Vincent and myself
except his unusual pallor. which sug-
gested to me that he, too, had spent a
sleepless night.

Vincent, of course. and thought, as

bright freight. that he had never
looked so handsome. His evening dress
showed off his superb athletic form
to the best advantage. and his face
was fresh and strong, with the bronze
of his tan extending to the roots of his
hair, which was cut close to conceal
a wave in the gold of it. 1t occurred
to me at once that his face had lost
much of its boyishness and he looked
every inch a man. But it took me
some time to realize that the girl who
sat with him was none other than the
secretary.
At first l could not tell what it was
that had so changed her. whether it
was her shimmering white evening

was nothing more nor less than the
glory of her hair that had wrought the
transformation. l had never seen the
secretary with her hair done any way
