| by which Waterman succeeded that points the
reason why men like Wider invariably fail.
| To Illustrate we learn from the report of Mr.
Watermans operations that to shake out his
long string of followers, as has been his custom
in the past, he 'milked the market in the closing
hours of the session by forcing the price down
five cents by heavy selling, and then, by buying
all that offered raised II at the close to $1.05
to s1.o5 1-2. materially adding 10 his already
enormous profits. For instance:
A sensational feature of the find delivery
day for July contracts was the onslaught on
Waterman when the price reached $1.0S ID.
The j. Rosenbaum Grain Company, one of the
largest on the Board of Trade, had accumulated
large block of wheat, and when the cereal
reached this figure threw it on the market for
immediate delivery.
Instead of Immediately buying. Waterman
brokers assisted in the onslaught forcing the
price down to 1903 12, shaking out his followers,
and then took everything that was offered, max
ing immediate payments
Mr. Waterman, it appears, was backed by the
Armours and others But in the wheat pit, or
The stock market, the most powerful operators
nred the even more powerful support of the
speculative public They play for this support
openly csndidly To it they make the tacit but
clear promise of quick and easy gain. BY its
assistance they swing their deals, and on its back
they ride to fortune. 1t is only when the public,
by the possibility of GAIN becomes heavy that
the shaking out" process is resorted to. Then,
when the public has been 'milked' and the decks
cleared, the "deal" is consummated.
1t is then that the great operators come for
ward with their pious and sage advice against
speculation and it is then that simpletons like
Wider, according as they have merely lost their
own money or taken that of others, support the
wisdom of those who induced them to play the
game by the wreck of their fortunes or their
characters, or both.
We have faint hope that this too-often mar
rated story will prevent even single hopeful
soul from following the lure when its false fire
is held before his bullying eyes. We would, how
ever that these stories of Wider's shame and
Waterman's proves might be put in parallel
columns and pasted in every place where those
whose friends know all about stocks" come
TO follow an advice that all experience
shows would never be given them by anyone who
really knew anything about the game. Those
who do know are careful never to advise in words
that which their acts are calculated to tempt,
and which, having tempted successfully, they are
equally careful for their profit to betray

"FXETNT OMNES."

sIy-devilish sly!'
Why, in the season that is dullest of the dull

to wake us up can perhaps best explain. Truth to
tell, however, is the matter so sly as it is
accurate2 The plural in question was applied

peerless qualities, is sort of plural and all
pervasive-Nicht Wahr? In the light of political
history, we seem to remember that the Orator

they used to bury Thomas Collier Plat before
he by accident created Hero. Is not null
tiplicitv of political lives warrant for the appli
cation of plural verbs to collective personalities
A crowd may "ere,tnt'. may it not And who
will say that Mr. Bryan is not a crowd that his
policies are not variously active in the brains
and political arsenals of more than one more
successful politician, or that he is not now
as he has been for years-the hope and pride
of a multiple faction of which he is the mouth
piece and incarnation
Addressing the question whether it could be
safely said that defeat on local question
was sufficient to bury Bryan, we thought it well
to sound warning note and, obsessed with the
idea of how many things would go out with him
if this were indeed the fact, wrote him in the
complex personality that he is, instead of the
simple single character which in his oratorcal
moments of falling cadences he likes to assume.
AS matter of fact, with Roosevelt rolling on,
with Taft rolling after as rapidly as possible,
with the railroads already made to take the
pellets which Bryan rolled up for them, the end
of the personality of the Nebraskan could with
fitting poetic license be condensed into the stage
direction at the close of the climatic act, "Ereua
Onsaes'.

THE SHOW CASE ORDINANCE.

The action Of Council in rejecting the pro-
posed ordinance requiring the removal of pro
1ecting show cases on Broad aud Main Streets
will doubtless meet general public approval The
proposition, which originated with THE Com
mfttee on Streets, conceived in aid and
furtherance of the plans looking to the improve
ment and Identification of these thoroughfares
especially Broad Street. But investigation show
Ell that the hardship involved to the merchants
was out of proportion to the benefit which would
have accrued 10 the city. Broad Street, in par
ticular, is the shopping district Attractive show
cases are an aid, rather than detriment, to its
attractiwness. While the Improvement of this
street Is necessity, it is the part of wisdom
that it be done IN a manner which will gain the
cooperation, instead of the resentment. of the
merchants whose establishments make it what
1t is
The rather drastic ordinance having been de-
feated, it is to be hoped that other steps looking
to uniformity upon the streets will be conceived,
and that these reforms will gain the support of
the progressive merchants, whose energy has
made the streets popularity, and whose pros
perity now depends in a large measure upon the
undermining of the street upon which they do
business. The particular point of friction hav-
ing been removed, there is room for compromise
which will result in concerted action for wise
and permanent betterment.

e:MILKING TIE MARKET

In the papers that told Of tie confes-
sion of Erwin Wider, who ilched over 5000, 900
from the strong box of the New York branch of
the Russo-Chinese bank, that his peculations
were the result Of stock speculations which he
had been induced to undertake by friends who
slnew all about the markets, there was told
under big head lines the detailed story of how
one Waterman, the latest wheat king, had just
cleared million dollars by speculation in the
Chicago pit. A reading of the two stories dis

fortune and bad, more than a proof Of the

traya of the Taft promise to revise the down
ward recently carried for the Democratic party "rock
ribbed" Republican Congressional District by over
wheming majority. Instead running this gentleman

Take, for illustration, that lynching at New
ark When the Anti-Saloon League promoted q
bill in the Legislature to facilitate the removal
of mayors and other officials who were derelict
in their duties, Governor Harmon, for reason
of his own, opposed the measure. he maintained
that there was law enough to meet every case OF
delinquency. 1t was predicted that he would
not soon hear the last of it, but while the subject
was being agitated along came the lynching at
Newark and Governor Harmon, acting on tbs
law as it then stood, removed the Mayor from
office and demonstrated that he was right in his
contention; that full authority existed for the
Governor to act in such cases, in spite of opin-
ions to the contrary. 1t isn't often that such an
opportunity comes to man in trouble and it is
not every who knows how to use it when
ii comes
1t is also stated that Uncle Jud is going to
profit by the trouble in the Republican camp.
Apparently the delegates got together and set
tied their differences but insurrection is not so
easily put down. The New York Globes staff
correspondent, writing from Columbus, says that
talk is easily audible that George B. Cox, the
Republican boss of Cincinnati and Hamilton
county, is really for Harmon, and while he is
seeking the nomination on the Republican ticket
of Judge O. B. Brown, of Dayton, be is getting
ready, if Brown is not named, TO throw Hami
ton county to Harmon He adds that the
finger of suspicion is pointed even at Senator
Burton and that some have the temerlty 70 sug
gest that if Ohio goes Democratic this fall and
Senator Dick is replaced By Democratic Sena-
tor, Senator Burton will shed no tears, and will
prove to be easily consolable.'
Or course it will not do for Governor Harmon
to rely upon treachery in the Republican camp
for his election but he is not responsible for the
Republican party and if he can profit by its
mishaps, it will be another evidence that luck
runs his way. In any event, hurrah for Uncle
Jud.
