BUSINESS ON CREDIT.

BUSINESS ON CREDIT.
Milwaukee Free Press
There was a guarded recommendation
in the president s recent message that
something be done-if it is possible to
do anything to put stop to gambling
on stock and produce exchanges.
The president was evidently unsettled
in his mind as to the authority of the gov
eminent to interfere, and as to the sue
cess of the interference; and he APP
preached the subject with extreme eau
ton, making some sort Of provisional"
recommendation, that if something can
be done to regulate the undoubted evil
he trusted that it would be done But
there was an entire and noteworthy
absence of cock. suredness about it all.
At the same time the recent financial
smashup was Enthusiastically owing to
this very cause-that Of gambling on
future values Of stocks, and the money
that was wagered was "other people S
money" on deposit in banks that were
controlled by the gamblers. Men, max
ing use of trust funds, tried to corner
an important commodity, and failed.
Then came the deluge which was all
the time waiting to come the moment
a good excuse was offered.
Bills are before congress and the
New York legislature prohibiting stock
gambling, and there has been much
talk in favor Of prohibition of gambling
in wheat and cotton and other products
of the soil But there is a grave diff
Guilty in the way, which may be over
come by greatly-gifted present-day
craftsmanship, nevertheless.
Buying futures" is buying on time
ana there can hardly be legal prohibi-
ton of credit business in a country
where nearly all business is done on
credit.
When stocks or any products are
bought for delivery at a certain time
an agreed-upon deposit is made. If
the price goes down this deposit has to
be renewed keeping the "margin" in
tact. When the day of delivery comes
the product is delivered and paid for
or this is where the gamble comes in
the difference between the purchase
price and the price on the day of settle
ment is handed over, and there is no
transfer of property of any kind, eX-
cept the check in settlement.
There is no more question of the alb
solute viciousness of the whole transac-
tomas such transactions gotham
there is of the business" of a faro
room. But, a citizen who goes into a
real estate office today and bargains
for $4,000 worth of property to be
decided to him in two or six months
and puts up 10 per cent of the purchase
price, has bought a future which
he can take over by paying the other
50, 600; or if the price should double-as
it may, owing to some extraordinary
reason-he can probably take the differ
ence and leave it. 1t is a speculation
on 10 per cent margin-a gamble.
The difficulty is in difrerentiating be-
tween dealings in railroad stocks and
"industrials, and in wheat or cotton y
and in city lots
The business Of the country cannot
be done on a cash basis; and it will be
matter Of exceeding difficulty to
draw a bin that will at the same time
put a stop to stock gambling and per
init the people to transact their ordi-
mary everyday Legitimate" business.
But it ought to be done.

Discussing in the senate one day
last week the recent financial crisis,
United States Senator Nelson said it
was not due so much to the scarcity of
money as to the difficulty of keeping
money in circulation. He complained
of the amount Of money loaned by
bankers for speculative purposes, which
had the effect of taking it out of the
channels of legitimate business and
placing it Gin the hands Of New YorI,
loafers who live on stock manipulation.

Milwaukee journal: Gov Davidson
has, according to trustworthy advices,
shown himself in the work of rebuilding
the capitol to be a public official not
only Of integrity but of rare common
sense, Today is revealed the fact that
he also has a poetic side. His idea that
the delegates-at-large to the Republican
convention should be the same ones who
were denied admittance four years ago
is so far removed from the common
place as to stir almost any man s
emotions. Even if LaFollette is as
self-centered as his critics declare he is,
the Davidson idea ought to strike him.

that the attack was one of series
planned on officials Of the Chicago po-

Awful Shock to Man Who for Years

careful of his time. struck me the

spelling a certain word by the in
production of an additional letter
1t wasn't the misspeiling of the
word that disturbed me. it was the
fact that misspelling it as 1 had done
| had wasted so much time in writing
it. But now I have begun to get back
the time lost
I have selected word that I find
[ frequently use, a word from which
one letter can be eliminated without
impairing its significance or its appeal
to the eve. and from that word in writ
ing I ana now emitting that one let
