than an ocean trip where the first

THE GOVERNMENTS ATTACK
ON BUCKET SHOPS.

The Department of Justice rendered
the country good services when on
Saturday its officers, armed with war
rants from the Federal Court, raided
three centers Of bucket shops, with
branch offices in various cities Of the
United States.
Bucket shops are a form OF evil that
has fOurished despite a widespread
sentiment against them. Laws have
been passed to curb their activities,
but only occasionally when their Of
lenses have been so glaring that toll
Grafton of them could no longer be
endured has adequate punishment been
visited upon them. Patrons of
bucket shop as a rule are men who
cannot afford 70 indulge in gambling
in any form, and bucket shops may be
reckoned among ~sure-thingo games
Orders for the purchase and sale Of
stocks, bonds, grain, etc, placed with
them are never executed. Sometimes
the money Is taken in at one end Of the
room and paid out at the other, but it
is more often taken in than paid out
If the Department of Justice succeeds
in wiping out this evil it viii accom-
plish a good that cannot be Ovenesti-
mated.
Bucket shops have been in bad OdOT
so long that it is surprising the Gov
eminent did not act before. Only IN
instances like the present, where they
do an interstate business and use the
mails to separate the innOcents from
their cash, have the Federal authorities
jurisdiction, but it is within the prov
ince of States and municipalities TO
break up the business when it is purely
local, the same as they do when pro-
Prietors Of faro, poker, and other
gambling joints violate the law.

HUGE PROPORTIONS OF AUTO
MOBILE BUSINESS.

Few realize the tremendous proper
lions which the automobile business has
assumed. In the last few years it has
been growing by leaps and bounds.
The millionaire Is no more insistent on
having a machine than Is the average
well-tO-do citizen. The prosperous farmer
is better support for the automobile
market than his brother in the city. The
physician uses an auto for his calls:
the fashionable shopper uses a run
about to make the stores. Heavy
hauling in the cities and towns is com
ing more and more to impress the auto
into service. The uses for the motor
vehicle of one sort and another are
almost endless and they are growing in
number
What is the effect Of this increasing
demand on the sales of machinesH In
evitably it is to make the business Of
manufacturing and selling autos one Of
the foremost of American industries.
It is estimated by those competent to
Judge that 100000 machines will be
made and sold in the United States this
year. Calculating the value of these at
$1,000 each, this gives a total of $780,
100000 as the sum which viii be ex-
pended on autos by the American
people in the year 1910. Not including
Sundays, this means about SI,OOO,0OO a
day for machines.
Many features Of the automobile
business are worthy Of comment, but
one of the most noteworthy is the
decline in imports and the beginning Of
an export movement. Our machines
are on a par of excellence with the
best of those made abroad The de-
mand for autos from the farmers Is
growing. 1t is estimated half of this
years demand comes from them. The
farmer Is coming more and more to APP
preciate that the auto is one Of the
most serviceable possessions he can
have about the farm The demand for
heavy auto trucks is increasing in the
cities.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE

DR.. JAMES UNFAIR TO THE
DISTRICT.

In the face of evidence which should
be convincing to any fair-minded man,
President James of the University OF
Illinois is still fighting the proposal
that the benefits of the Morrill, acts be
extended to the young people OF the
District of Columbia. He declines to
accept the entirely reasonable theory
that the District should be considered
on the same basis as the States and
Territories, for whose people the Nor
ril acts were passed, and sticks 70 his
determination TO prevent the District
enjoying an appropriation for educa-
ton which it so sorely needs.
In carefully prepared statement to
The Times today, DR.. Richard d. Har-
Ian of George Washington University
makes fOrceful reply to certain features
of the opposition from DR.. James. He
points out with convincing effect the
absurdity of the principal claim, that to
give the District the benefits of the
Morrill, acts would initiate against the
ultimate establishment here of a great
national university.
The purposes of the Morrill, acts are
10 assist in providing instruction in
agriculture and mechanic arts for the
young people of the individual States
and Territories. It is extremely doubt
full if the funds could ever be made
available for a national educational
institution such as DR.. James proposes
"a university of universities, which
would draw its students from among
the graduates of other universities and
give them postgraduate work. It
would be directly against the spirit of
the Morrill, acts to make any such use
of the funds.
Why, then, is DR.. James so insistent
in his campaign against the District?
Even if the movement for a national
university gains Roadway and gives
promise of being successful, it is hard
10 understand how the immediate bene-
fits granted our young people by the
Morrill, acts could threaten the greater
project.
Dr. James position is untenable, and
should not be seriously considered by
Congress in disposing of the demands Of
the District for advantages which will
but place it on an equality with the
States and Territories, and which viii
in no wise endanger the establishment
here, at some future time, of such an
institution as DR.. James advocates.

have discharged their obligations. In
this respect the Sage offices viii differ
materially from the average loan
agency. IF the institutions are a sue
cess it is said to be Mrs. Sage's inten-
ton to extend them to practically
every large city in the United States
Here is an example of practical
philanthropy. For several years num-
erous States and municipalities have
been fighting loan sharks with but
ii success. The viciousuess of the
agencies has been clearly demonstrated,
but their necessity has also been estab-
lished and Mrs. Sage very wisely and
generously is seeking a remedy.
There seems to be no reason why the
Sage loan Offices should not be success
full. They viii not be conducted for
profit, but they will maintain a rate OF
interest which it is hoped will ultimate
~ make them self-supporting. The in
fuence of the Sage fortune which vii
stand behind them viii aid materially
in the undertaking. The offices viii be
operated somewhat as the government
are operated in European
but an important feature will
be their loans on salaries or wages.
It is IN borrowing money on his income
that Tho patron of the loan shark gets
into most serious trouble. If Mrs. Sage
can give him the chance TO borrow on
such basis that he can repay without
a frightful interest charge she viii have
earned for herself merited distinction
as a lessener of human misery.
