Think WALL Street
Big GAMING HOUSE
A. 3. sTIckNEY GIVES WESTERN
Frs IDEA OF SPECULATIVE
CENTER OF COUNTRY.

New York, Feb, 11-"westerners do
not think Wall street is an investment
exchange-to them it is big gambling
house like Canfelds or the betting
ring of race track"
Thus spoke A. B. Stickney of st.
Paul today In his quarters at the Wal
dorf, and Mr.. Stickney ought to be a
good judge, for he was formerly presi-
dent of the Chicago Great Western
railroad, and for many years has
played master hand in building up
the northwest
The west Is doing big things and
making money and it has no time TO
pay attention to Wall street." contin-
ued Mr.. Stickney
THE west has it's own resources,
and luckily it cannot be harmed by
the street The west is freeing itself
there the feeling about Hooking Valley
and similar sprees is merely to give
thanks that the west is not affected
But westerners wonder how long the
ease will stand for this institution as
1t Ia maintained today.
From the Mississippi river west the
feeling is that Wall street is some
thing the people have little to do with
and that Wall street is something you
fasteners are having a hard time &c
realize. The fact is the west feels eco.
nomically independent of the east and
far from being ashamed OF 1t the wesi
rather looks down upon the east fol
! permitting such affairs as the Hook.
ing Valley schemes to be conducted
upon the stock exchange. In the frs
place the west is booming. In my ex.
perience. / have never known western
merchants, manufacturers, railroad
and business men in general to b.
doing such business. The section /:
developing its resources and driving
ahead under full steam. They are do.
ing the work and the building ou
there. Of course the recent fiurrie.
have attracted a great deal of unfa.
vorable attention. At the present tim,
the attitude of the western man is ont
of detachment. We have our men anC
our money and our resources in the
west that cannot be harmed by the
street, You may look for more ant
more independence in the west and 6
growing revolt against the ATTEMPTED
domination of the east"
Mr.. Stickney says that the people o.
the northwest feel to some extent tina
affairs in Washington are dominated
by groups of New York and New Eng.
land bankers. This he thinks, is part.
ly responsible for the high cost of liv.
ing. The Minnesotan said he was II

Seeks to Curb Evil.

Postmaster Morgan points out the
impossibility of putting an entire stop
to the practices on account of the in
convenience 1t would work on innocent
persons, but he stands frankly in fa-
vor of restrictions 1stricter than any
ever before proposed for the United
States postal service. Discussing the
matter today, he said:
"The investigation which was started
three months ago into the system has
convinced me that a strict surveil-
lance ought to be kept on the general
delivery system and the boxes.
Every effort is being made to dis
courage the effort to secure mail
through the general delivery. The
chief reason for discouraging the gen.
eral delivery systems lies in the posi-
bility of carrying on fraudulent enter
prises and for the aid OF immoral pur-
poses. With our general delivery here
conditions made it imperative to start
an investigation here several months
ago,

ut is true criminals and immoral
persons find the postoffice a great aid.
The dealer in bogus money. the fellow
who sends by mail box of grease as
q medical remedy, the art collector
who offers to send steel engraved
portrait of Washington for so cents
and sends a postage stamp-alL these
deal with their victims through the
mail.
THE chap who wants to arrange
meetings with some one else's wife
either makes use of the general deliy-
cry or a private box.
ION the other hand, the postoffice
service has been great help to the
detective. Restrictions became SO
urgent that new rules are being formu-
lated which will make it almost i'm
possible for a crook to rent a box in
New York. The same will become true
in other cities IL they follow the cru
sade,
"The law making it a crime to re-
ceive, under an assumed name, any
mail relating to unlawful business is
a salutary one and effective in that it
makes the taking of such mail an evil
dence of crime. In some sections of
the country immortality had become so
rampant through the use of private
mail boxes that the officers in Wash
ington issued an order that no mar
ried woman could rent a postofllce box
in her own name without the consent
of her husband.
Minnesota Case Cited.
It was pointed out by rhe postal in
spector here today that a case is at
present under the jurisdiction of
United States Commissioner Shields
which arose through the offices offered
| by the postal system.
The case in question is that OF
Syrous M. Drake of Huntersville Mimi,
who is in jail in lieu of $4,000 on the
| charge of using the mails to extort
| Drake sent letters through the mails
| claiming he was about to settle UP
| the 5000, 900 900 estate of Sir Francis
Drake in England. These letters were
addressed to persons to whom, Drake
said, money would be coming after the
estate was settled. Money was solic-
tied to forward the settlement. Mrs.
Fanny eagle of Hodgensville, KY, for
warded $50; j. G. Drake of Whitefield,
KY, forwarded $780, and William
Miller of Corsicana, Tex. gave up 500.
Drake was arrested while asking for
mail at the general delivery window of
4 the New York postof1ice on Thursday.
Count Carl" Ban Muller, the hus-
band of nineteen wives, who is now
awaiting trial in Hoboken, N. j., on
charges of bigamy and fraud, used the
mails for this purpose.
Mrs. Belle Guinness. the siren of La
Porte Ind, furthered her bloody
schemes by matrimonial offers through
the mails.

SCHOOL BOOK GRAFT.

Prof. william Moore in his North
Dakota Educational Magazine calls at
tention TO the evils growing out of the
school book business in this state. He
refers especially to the superintendent
acting as book agents-and the viola
ton of the law in this respect.
There are county superintendent
who are not only agents for books but
they represent chart firms and school
furniture houses. Their work is. in
many cases. graft, pure and simple.
Nearly every superintendent of county
schools has some fRvorite agent of book
concern who gets the bulk Of the bust.

state the superintendent OF schools 4:
frequently friendly to the agent of one
or two houses. They get ell the bust,

In many cases, of course, the super,
intendents are absolutely honest ans
really believe they are getting the bes
books obtainable--that they are infiu
enced no way.
