Competition and Justice.


The day seems to have come for
consideration OF the question whether
the present organization OF the stock
Exchanges Is such as to insare public
confidence. fair play and absolute Sc
,curity to honest clients. or whether
some degree of Intervention by the
government to secure these results Is
required. writes Charles A. Conant in
Atlantic. Speculation is legitimate.
and will go on increasing in volume
with the growth in the wealth OF the
country and in the quantity of negoti-
able securities. To interfere with 1t
without warrant is to tie a ball and
chain to the limbs of national eco-
nomic progress. But more and more.
with the growing complication OF the
mechanism OF finance. il growing up
a sentiment for such supervision of
this mechanism as shall insure Its safe
and honest working. From the smoke
and dust of battle between vested in
terests seeking economic freedom. and
the state seeking to protect the indi-
Yidual against errors Of judgment and
false statements. emerges the principle
30 well stated by the eminent capital
isf. Thomas +. Ryan. in an article In
the Independent. that 1T is right that
competition between men should be
brought within constantly narrower
and narrower rules of Justice

Reports of a great decrease In the
death-rate among the babies this year
come from New York city: yet 1t has
been trying summer. The lives
saved are the fruits OF the labors of
the tenement-house commission, the
city health department and the war
fare OF the Merchants association
committee against the house-fy. We
are learning slowly that the protec-
ton OF life, which government re-
CARDS as Its business. means protec-
ton against the murderous armies OF
germs that live in the predaceous en-
pire OF dirt.

MYERS is
NOT BROKE

Tom Murphy was questioned by The
News as to the truthfuiness Of a state
ment recently published in a daily
paper to the effect that his old partner,
A. ID. Myers, has sold all his interests
here, that he is broke, has a crouch
against Goldfeld and that he has cut
out the camp for keeps.
Mr.. Murphy was very positive, wen
emphatic in his statement that none OF
the allegations are correct: why,
look at that building over there (the
s35O.000 Goldfeld hotel %structure) Al is
the biggest owner of it. He owns the
Goldfeld Athletic club property and has
scores of residences, business houses and
town lots in Goldfeld. If you could
peep into his strong box you might get
a surprise at the GoldfeId mining stocks
it contains. No, Al is not guilty Of any
of the allegations made

so do the Democratic nominees for

the free list, to aid his Filipino pets,
which is contrary to Democratic
policies and gross discrimination
