"RTCK EFT SHOPS"

The Raleigh News and Observer has been
creating considerable Comment by its insistence
that the world is in error in speaking of the ir-
regular 'stock exchanges as 'bucket shops.
1t asserts that the term should be "buckit shop.
and makes the explanation that in the beginning
ono of the pioneer bucket shop men explained
that he was opening an office, "So my friends and
foes can buck a new game at a small price"
This Is interesting, but is it true? Is it even
borne out by the facts? We think not, but
rather that bucket shop implies a place where
gambling is done under the forms of legitimate
trading. the transactions, though apparently reg
ular, being ''bucketed'' without ever reaching
real consummation on the exchanges.
There is as much difference between the meth
DDS of the "bucket shop" and the regular ex-
changes of the country as there is between an
investment and a bet. Both the News and OBJ
server and the North Carolina Legislature. how
refuse to recognize the distinction. They
have created their own ''bucket shops by
statute.

Buena Vista Wet.

"A little over a year ago the Times suggested that
Buena Vista needed a street sprinkler. and since that
time we have kept this matter before the public, and
at last the City Council have decided to purchase one.
AT the May meeting of the Council a committee was
appointed to look into the matter, and at the meet
ing held last Friday this committee made a favorable
report and the sprinkler was ordered purchased. This
Is certainly good news to the people Of the city, and
II Is to be hoped that we will see the sprinkler on
the streets In a few days. Now that we have gotten

A HELPFUL PRACTICAL RESULT.

Farcical as il was in many of its developments
the investigation into the conduct of Messrs. Pol
lock and Wise in the matter Of feeding dis
tillerv waste to COWS. and their efforts III behalf
of dairymen to obtain a special construction OF
the ordinance prohibiting it from Health Of
fcer Levy, has proved Of ultimate value.
The ordinance recommended, under the terms
of which Councilmen are forbidden to appear
as attorneys for compensation before the Council,
its committees, or any of the boards for the city,
would seem to meet the case. Such policy is in
line with the better thought in all government.
Those who wish to serve the people should be
willing to make the sacrifices reasonably IN
volved by such service. One of the clearest of
these is the reasonable requirement that they
shall not embarrass their official action by their
private engagements.

From Gettysburg to fredericksburg.

The Charlottesville Progress Is opposed to the con-
struction of a memorial road from Washington to
Gettysburg. but heartily endorses the project OF hav-
lhE such a road extend from the battlefield IF Bun
Kun to that of gettysburg, because such a road would
connect two famous fields, on one Of which the Con
federate arms ~triumphed and on the other those of
the North, We think ourselves that the last plan
Is much the best and fairest, and We heartily favor
II for many reasons, not the least among which is
the fact that q road thus constructed would, in our
op.l ION, finally terminate within the bounds Ht a
great national park, laid out to include the sanguin-
airy battlefelds of Fredericksburg. Charlottesville.
the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Courthouse and Salem
church, on which fields, as the Progress points out,
more men We're killed and more blood shed than
from the creation of the world to the present day
crate tripmphs. We earnestly believe that the ma
tysburg. where the high tide Of the Confederacy be-
gan slowly but surely to recede, will shortly deter
mine to build a like park to take in the great bat
tlehelds mentioned above. IL will be no humiliation
to the North to have these fields SO marked. because
after all their use for this purpose. as in the case of
Gettysburg, is not to celebrate the victory OF either
army, but rather to commemorate the vaIor and the
bravery Of American soldiers on both sides and TO
show to the world that both sides are broad enough
to recognize the victories of the other without regret
or feeling. AS the Progress well says. the most APP
propriate place for such a park is in Spotsylvania
county, because of the many great battles fought on
the soil of that county, and by reason of the fact
that orc great park can be made TO include the scene
of five grea Free Lance.

The Fort Norfolk Suggestion.

Cannot the City Council do something TO further
the suggestion of a correspondent of the Landmark
that the Fort Norfolk property be borrowed for use
as a park as long as the ground is not needed by the
government Of course, the government does not
have TO lend the place to the city, and may not do
SO: but what is the harm OF asking?
The fort is entirely useless as a fortihCation, and
is merely an expense to the government for main
tenanee under existing conditions. 1t is in a location
eminently desirable as a breathing space for the chill
dren and for weary adults who do not always feel
equal to the long trip to Lafayette Park or TO the
seashore.
The city could welt afford TO take good care of the
grounds in return for the loan OF them. We consider
the suggestion Of Parker" a reasonable and timely
Landmark.

THE 1910 o R PALACE.

The 1910 Corn Palace has closed
its doors. The thousands who were
Nitchell's guests last week will agree
that Mitchell did not misrepresent in
saying the 1910 Corn Palace would
be the best ever. It will be a notable
year for this institution, as it is be-
lieved the receipts were enough to
discharge the debt on the building.
This will add to the financial sta
hility Of the Corn Palace and thus
make 1t possible to go on improving
the attraction. The committee which
had charge of the Corn Palace is en-
utledfto the praise it is receiving for
the successful manner In which 1t
performed its duties. 1t is the more
to be appreciated because it is a Ia
hor, Of love. Good judgment has
marked all Its acts in the manage
ment Of the entertainment and the
splendid financial showing is in large
part the result Of this fact. In turn
the committee no doubt will make its
acknowledgment to the people of Nit
dhell. and particularly the business
men. Not only did the business firms
donate outright no less than $4,000.
but they assisted in every way when
called upon.
!. Mitchell should find not so much
satisfaction in the fact that the Corn
Palace Is so much of a success as in
the tact that Mitchell has made it SO.
Il tells Of the capacity Of the city for
doing things. It speaks of the pull
together spirit which has made Nit
chellsfamous. The doing of this thing

This measure, in brief, gives the
governor power to remove any local
executive oficial, such as mayor, who,
after q hearing, is found to have
neglected or refused to perform the
duties of his Office.
This bill was introduced into the
legislature by Representative Drake
CT Dawson county. But Mr.. Drake
did not draft the measure. He did
not even propose it in the first place.
1t was urged upon the legislature by
two ministers of Rapid City, pastors
of the Methodist and Congregational
church of that city. They caused the
bill to be prepared and they asked
Representative Drake to introduce it.
He did so as a matter of accommo-
dalton to them, but did not appear
as the father Of the measure. 1t was
given the unanimous vote of both
branches Of the legislature. 1t was
supported by every democrat who
voted upon it, in either house. 1t is
just as much a democratic as a repub-
lican measure. The democrats could
not have given it more support If
they had tried to do so. But the oc-
casion for the passage of this law re-
lates to Chauncey Wood himself. At
that time the mayor of Rapid City
we Chauncey Wood himself. So far
as his administration revealed, he
did not seem to know of the exist
ence OF a number of state laws. Con-
ditions in the city of Rapid City be-
came offensive to the good people of
the town. The complaint was made
in vain to the mayor. Then it was
that the two ministers conceived the
idea Of securing a state law that
would give communities of the state
relief from officials who laughed at
laws that the communities want en-
Chauncey Woods administration
as mayor of Rapid City provoked the
people of that town into asking for

'ecause the law was unanimously
passed by both branches of the leg
islature and signed by the governor.
AS the one individual in the state
for the law because he
created the demand for it, the DEM
ocratic candidate for governor can
not help himself by bringing it into
the campaign. If he wants vindica-
ton of his particular ideas Of admin
istering the duties of mayor of a city,
he should go to his own people for
it.
