WHEAT AND THE GAMBLER
Wheat transactions at Chicago ab-j
solutely condemn gambling In staple j
products. This latest condemnation
ii not at all necessary to properly
stigmatize the evil. People of sober i
Judgement have known for years that
while the gamblers most directly int
erestvd in such deals win or lose sums
that are almost fabulous, yet. in the
long run. the public pays the freight.
Crop conditions, natural demand, the
state of the industrial world, none of
the legitimate elements which enter |
into the making of a wheat market,
can be considered a> warrant for j
the pr>>sent high price of that staple
Th?? greed of the gamester is wholly i
responsible for the record price thut
has been reached in the Chicago j
wheat pit.
The effect of that price reaches to)
every family in every city in the!
country. It has made the price of
flour higher, whereas it was high e
r.ough. And beyond thut. if we note
the reports carefullv, we will learn
tnat it has led to a measure cf de
moralization in the milling business, j
The present price of wheat is a fiction j
that imposes a burden upon the con
* ?mer whom it feeds that he may pro
once wealth, and the imposition is for
no better purpose than to supply the
Wakes and fatten the ani?- for ex
tert gamblers who are losing or win
ring their millions accoriirg to their1
tibility to force the price up or down.
H'tiat is true of wheat is true of I
evciv other staple. It is true of the1
stock market in which the fate of in
dustries is involved. It is a process j
without good sense or the principles
of honesty. It is injurious to the!
country beyond th* point of apology,
and yet we continue to tol^rat' it. j
For how long will we permit it to
continue? We denounce, but will we
?ver do anything more than de- j
pounce?? Portland Telegram.
Killing Christians seems to be a!
favorite diverson of the Turks ? but
then a few centuries back the Chris
ians used to take little jaunts down I
into Palestine to slay the Turks.
And again I say unto you, it is1
tasier for a camel to go through the^
fc>e of a needle, than for a rich man
to enter the kingdom of heaxen. ? St.,
Matthew. Chapter IK ? 24.
Skagway should certainly be repre
sented by an exhibit at the A-Y-P.
Alaska is entitled to home rule.
