PARKING PUZZLE

16-foot parking have been put in place
and within the next week or so Walla-
Wallans may determine the effect
which a parking in the middle of a
street will have upon the scene.
Several property owners interested
have contended that the plan of turn
ing the street parking over to the
property owners to care for, would be
a foolish move. as the tract would not
receive the attention to which it would
be entitled. and as a result the grass
would turn brown and the shrubbery
fail to make rapid growth. Chairman

THE FEDERAL JUDGESHIP.

As stated by this paper last month
when the favorable report of the Sen
ate committee on the bill for sec
ond United States Circuit Judge was
published, the man to fill this office
should be a thorough-going American
az a first qualification. And on the
practical side of it, the probabilities
are that the appointment will be
such as will suit If 1t is, not made by
President-elect Taft.
Honolulu undoubtedly has men
well qualified for the position and IL
the appointment has been referred to
the Governor for his recommendation
he cannot do better than select H. T..
Cooper, whose qualifications for the
pest are exceptional.
There is no more important Office
within this Territory than that of
United States Judge, and the man to
occupy the position should have ex-
pGrience in American law and be well
grounded by environment and educa-
ton In what is known to Hawaii as
traditional AmeriCanism.

legitimate with the much. condemned

legitimate. with the condemned
bucket-shop broker:
Let us examine few of the
points of difference between the buck
ct shop and the legitimate brokerage
flrm," says Dickson. I'm the first
place, the bucket-shop man does do a
legitimate investment business, Just
as the stock-exchange house does. He
buys, sells, aud delivers the certif-
Gates, and does 1t through stock-ex-
change member. who fills these or.
ders as promptly and as efficiently as
he would do for any other customer.
"On margin order the bucket
shop man does not buy the stock at
all, nor does he pretend to, while the
stock-exchange man actually does
buy the stock, yet may at once sell
the same stock for his own account,
or for fictitious account. II this is
done, then in both cases the broker Is
in the market against his customer,
and all that the customer loses the
broker wins.
The bucket-shop man charges no
interest, for he makes no pretense of
the existence of debit balance,
while the stock-exchange man often
charges more interest than he has
paid, or charges interest on balance
which has but fictitious existence.
The bucket-shop man uniformly
gives his customer the market price,
while on odd lots the stock-exchange
man almost invariably charges his
customer an eighth or a quarter more
On a purchase and gets fraction less
on q sale.
The bucket-shop man will take
orders on a margin of one or two
points. The stock-exchange man de-
mands five or ten.
THE bucket-shop man takes mar
gin orders on five shares or even less,
while the stock-exchange man refuses
to carry less than fifty or one hun
bred shares on margin.
The customer of bucket shop is
sold out automatically when his mar
gin is exhausted, while the stock
exchange man strives to induce the
customer to increase his margin, and
thereby his probable loss and the
brokers' possible gain.
THE bucket-shop man simply
makes wager with his customer that
his clients expectation of the market
is wrong, and he pretends TO moth
ing else, while the stock-eXchange
man invariably pretends to a virtue
TO which he often has no valid claim.
THE bucket-shop man makes mon
ey, much money, out OF the vanity
and folly of his fellows, and herein
Is the vital point of difference be-
tween the two; for the stock-eX-
change man deems 1t quite irregular
for any one to do this save II mem
her of an accredited exchange. For
every dollar lost through bucket
shop a thousand dollars lost through
legitimate stock-exchange houses.
Even this does not satisfy, for the
legitimate one wants that other doi-
lGr."

change when they purchase stocks on
margins.
II Dickson could command the pic
turesque language of Tom Lawson he
would have had the country by the
ears before this. His work may, how
ever, be more effective on account of
his thorough knowledge of the facts
and his direct, business-like method
OF putting them. The whole article

that which shows what chance there
is for the lamb" who goes into Wall
Street is the most unpleasant awak-
ening for the average man who takes
a flier in the Wall Street game. He

ations only until he has enough
TO make II worth the while for a
professional to get up and take it
from him. What possible chance
has the gambler in such a game
as this? Would he play poker
with no chance of seeing the cards
dealt, or of knowing how many
cards his opponents draw, and
with more than suspicion that
the cards are marked? Yet he
does worse than that when he
deals in stocks on a margin
through the New York Stock Ex-
change. Does he ever realize that
the winnings in the game played
there depend on his own losses,
and that the broker who receives
his money on margin Knows, not
thinks, nor suspects, but Knows,
that in the end he will inevitab-
ly join the great majority before
him. who have played and lost?
IF 1t were not against the
rules of the New York Stock Ex--
change" exclaimed the head of
a legitimate brokerage house,

customers are more likely to be
wrong than right in their guess
esq" was the surprised question
of Mr.. Lamb.
Sure" was the reply, with an
nf oil,
dom on the frank, open face of
the broker. "A Spectator on
margin is not only likely to lose
he Is Sure to lose. or course, he
sometimes wins, gets on the right
side OF the market, and In a day
or two walks off with twenty
thousand in his jeans. Do you
think he stays away? Not
much! That was too easy; and
the next time he loses his twenty
thousand of winnings and as
much more besides as he'll stand
for or can raise. Why, this bus
mess we're in is pure gambling,
and were not one whit better
than Dick Canfield."
Remember. please, that the
speaker was not bucket-shop
man, nor yet crank reformer,
but the head of legitimate New
York Stock Exchange house, with
thousands of customers; and he
knew the game from beginning
to end.
