tie Wall Street banks will have 70
call ia the loans they ste making
on the inflated war stocks. And the
war stock gamblers will have made
another panic.
Do you remember the panic oil

woke them TO come like that again
for in the year 1918 the results will
be different.
In 1907 you relied upon the Elder
Morgan TO save the district. But
now the Elder Morgan is dead, and
can no longer lend Wall Street the
millions he obtained from the United
States Treasury, and you have only
B~ritain's munitions to depend upon.
The other day, MIR. Noble, you
issued a defense OF the Stock Elk.
change. Sleek, SNUG and smiling
you leaned back and blamed the
Speculative excitement" and said that
human nature" could not be curbed
Cayeat emptor, eh? Let the, buyer
beware.
But you well know hat you can
regulate the transactions on the Elk
change. Does not the Constitution
Of the State prohibit horse racing
and gambling? Did not the Hughes
Committee, which investigated the
practices Of your association say
In its nature it is in the same
class with gambling upon the race
track or at the roulette table, but
it is practiced on a vastly larger scale
Ii involves a practical certainty OF
loss TO those who engage in it,
If you do not wish a Federal
regulation Of the Exchange, which
will permit an inspection of the
methods used in the manipulation oil
the war orders, then call a meeting
Of your Board Of Governors and
proceed against the war stock
gamblers, and strike all the man
ipulated stocks from the Stock Elk
change list. Abolish your useless
publicity bureau, and devote the
large sums thus uselessly spent
toward reimbursing in some meas
ure the miserable victims of the
Stock Exchange gamble.
You are the responsible head.
! urge you most earnestly to take
this step.
You and I. know why you have
excluded the public from the gallery
Of the Stock Exchange, why you
have installed your wire netting and
posted your guards. You fear that
some poor wretch who has lost his
all in the war stocks swindle, may
try to hurl a bomb at the men whom
he blames for having despoiled him,
Or that some crackbrained foreigner
may attempt to act, because his
brother was killed abroad by the
Money Trust shrapnel.
In that you may be right or
wrong. | haye no opinion in the
matter.
But IL you do not act quickly, |
fear that you are threatened with a
much greater danger, from which
wire nets and armed guards will fail
to save you and your members, and
that is the condemnation of the
GREAT SILENT MAJORITY.
