Der OF the corporation of promoters
which pushed these insurance com
panles and got people all over the
country to invest in their stock. In.
cidentally, II came out In the hearing
that Justice Gould did not pay fol
this 500 worth OF stock. but II was
present from futile. Wightman Il
Dudley, the promoters.
The name of Justice Gould figured
in all the promotion literature, and a
good many people were given the
idea that the enterprise was very
reputable because II had among It's
promoters a couple OF judges OF the
district. The other Judge was J. w.
Atkinson OF the court OF claims OF
the District OF Columbia.
In addition To the $1,100 dividends
on his 800 worth of gift stock, JUS
tice Gould admitted to the committee
that he received nearly $4,000 add
tional in dividends on his stock In the
two insurance companies. This stock
he bought with money which he said
was borrowed" from the firm OF
Tuttle. Wightman q Dudley, so II was
very much like his gift stock in that
he did not nave 10 advance any money
out OF his own pocket
One OF the companies, the CONNER
cial, lost S131 900 during the first
year. but II nevertheless paid divi
dends to It's stockholders, and Justice
Gould came in for nice profit on HIS
investment"

An effort was made in the house OF
representatives at Washington last
week to prevent the sending or news
papers that contained liquor adyer-
tisements through the mails into pro-
hibition states and districts. This
was sought TO be accomplished
through an amendment to the post
office appropriation bill. but the
amendment was ruled out OF order
when the bill appeared In the house.
The amendment was proposed by PEP

resentative Murdoch, Of Kansas. and
was ably urged by Representative
Hobbs, OF Alabama. Although the et-
fort did not succeed, the attention thus
drawn TO the wrong being perpetuated
by the newspapers and other publiea-
tons that permit themselves to be
made advertising mediums for the
whiskey and beer business and as
solicitors for the sale and use OF liquor
will indirectly preform a good service
in greatly needed direction.

dustry. one could fathom easily the
meaning OF It. But Wall-st. has
marked itself down. Other neces-
saries or life soar in price; the stock
exchange machinery slumps. What
wonder Is here!
Think what it is that has so pitt
ably shrunk In value. IL is the ma
chinery OF control. the very right
arm OF the power which governs
money, credit. industry, railroads,
prosperity. Should the value OF the
/ steel trust plants show a like slump
we might expect an Industrial cat
aclysm. Yet here Is the plant oil
financial control. stock fotation, bond
selling and price-making suddenly
marked down so per cent, while All
other commodities are rising. A
mystery
A hasty explanation might be that
Wall-st. at last has recognized It's
own evils. and Is moved TO repen-
lance. But no; for Il has just sent
formal communication to the con-
gressional committee declaring its
impeccable virtue and approving its
methods as legally and morally above
reproach.
This defiant consciousness OF red/
tude Is all very we'll; but why the
dreadful confession OF the disappear
ing price OF seatsl II really impress
sort OF lese majeste-the humble
factors in the system selling them
selves out In the face OF decree
that they are lawful instruments OF
progress, benefactors Of the race. II
IL like running away under fire. We
fear that these gentlemen are not
good soldiers; or, to change the meta
phor, not good sports, When 1t seems
desirable to them to rig the market
with washed sales and push up the
prices OF necessaries OF life, who SO
gallant as they? Yet they do not pro-
tect their own game.
What does 1t all meant
II means that the same force
which destroyed the lottery and the
race track is piling up against the
Wail-st. gambling system. II means
that eventually those seats will be
worth far less-just what their value
may be for legitimate business. The
original function OF the exchange was
the proper and useful one of market
ing sound securities. The time Is
coming when II will be forced back
to that, when the gambling privilege
will be cut on. And the shrinking
quotations show that the promoters
OF the system are preparing for the
Inevitable loss Of their license to
prey.-Philadeiphia North American.
