gin for speculative and gambling pur-
poses. But the president knows full
well that buying on margins means
only that the buyer borrows part of the
money Zequired to make purchase and
that this is an everyday incident Of
business in all lines of trade.
No one will seriously anticipate for
a single moment that congress will at
tempt to legislate against stock gam
bling by Erecting supervision of or
ders given by mail or wire. Why,
then, should the peace and confidence
the country is fast recovering be in
terrupted by purposeless philippe
The answer probably is that President
Roosevelt felt compelled to relieve The
odore Roosevelt of the odium attached
to what some people were unkind
enough to term a Roosevelt panic.
Now that the defense is on file the
whole matter will be dismissed by con
gress and the people. That will leave
stock gambling just where it belongs

JoBs-Nor SQUARE DEAL.

In long letter to the Phoenix Re
publican, Frank NJ. Murphy says that
he has not changed his mind as re-
ported, as to an uninstrueted delegation
from Arizona to the Republican ma
tional convention in July. He still
wants it. The gentleman from Prescott
and New York desires that if the dele
CATION be instructed, it be for For
aker and he assures the Republicans of
arizona that even if Taft is nominated
and elected, Ire won't hold it against
Arizona that even if Taft is nominated
was east for Foraker and that Arizona
will "get a square deal" But Mr..
Murphy will have to go some in order
to "show'' the federal appoiptees of
Arizona. just now they are in the
Missouri class. They realize that they
will get square deal from Tart II he
is nominated and elected, but what they
want is another four years in their
present pleasant berths. A square deal
does not necessarily imply that they
will be reappointed, for # the square
deal were administered squarely, some
of them would have cans tied to them.
