versatism of Wall Streets

Upham Adams and the publish
ers of Everybody's offer the
calmest and most complete ex-

that the amateur has to pay for
keeping up the great gambling
system of America. Thomas w.

followers sometimes lose-it is
not a defense of himself, but a
statement of fact. The pub
fishers of the magazine round up
the discussion conclusively, and
answer their critics in thorough
and explicit terms.
