TO CERTAIN
GAMBLING

From S. G Osborn & Co, commission brokers, comes a
corrective letter eouched in terms Of iorgiving protest anent
The Stars failure 10 make that nice distinction between bucket
shop" and Legitimate stock exchange that would suit the rig
orous taste Of Mr.. Osborn
Bur once again is The Star compelled to confess It's in
ability 10 make this distinction, despite the p%ainstaking efforts
Of Mr. Osborn. Bucket shop and legitimate stock exchange
stil look very much alket to The Star. The fac, that one has
a leased wire running 10 Chicago, while the wire Of the other
runs only TO the basement Of tho building where il is located,
does not appear 90 be essentially distinctive.
On the other hand. the resemblance between the two
arises from the fact that both make a business OF receiving
bets as 20 the rise or fall in the price Of commodities. The
fact that one Is located on one side 81 the street, or the other
in a brick building. doesn't seem 20 The Star 10 be important
The one important fact appears to be that both the bucket
shop and the legitimate stock exchange arc primarily gambling
and morally one is not a whit better than the
other.
The Star is painfully aware that the new code does not
reach the Legitimate stock exchange. by just the same distance
as It fails to reach the bucket shop. Both Of them are still
beyond the reach Of the police by reason Of the fact that occa
sionally some one makes a bona fdc purchase through them.
Whatever decisions Mr.. Osborn may have concerning the
superiority OF the stock exchange member arc beyond the
credulity Of The Star, and this paper will be Obliged TO con
tiuuc is hostile attitude toward both until it can be shown
that either the bucket shop or the legitimate stock exchange
as actually conducted, is Of any benefit to the community.
