The Crime of Speculation.
We ftneUy got all of oar clothes
on a boat 7.45 that memorable even
ing. The program was to begin at
8:30, same night We hired a chauf
feur for 3 hours at 25 cents per hour,
and that's the first time I had rkioien
in the backseat since I was fetched
home from the hospital. We rented
a suit for him also. Of course every
body knew we dkiln't have no regular
chauffeur, nor did I own a dinner
suit, or even « coffee coat.
The crime of unrestrained ."pecula
tion on the cotton, grain and stock
exchanges was ahown dramatically
last week when the government closed
the Chicago grain market to prevent
the wrecking of prices because of the
greed of one man. A trader, whose
identity was kept secret, was “long”
13,000,000 bushels of com and several
million bushels of wheat and other
grains when prices began their preci
pitate decline. The trader was caught
in the fall of prices and was unable
to furnish additional margins. In or
der to prevent his holdings being sold
out, with a resultant crash in values,
the secretary of agriculture took the
drastic step of closing the grain ex
change Friday and Saturday.
The People-Sentinel has long held
and expressed the opinion that the
government ahculd not allow the u§e
of the exchanges for unrestricted
gambling in the necesa ties of life.
The welfare of too many people—toil
ers who earn their living by the sweat
cf their brow—.« affected. Why
should any one man or small group of
men be allowed to manipulate prices
to serve their selfish interests st the
cost of millions of the.r fellow men?
There may have been some excuse
last week for s decline in the price of
stocks, but with a very short wheat
crop in prospect and • fourth of the
grosrng cotton crop to be des’royed
it was nothing short of criminal to
bring about a decline of severs! cents
a boshei in the price of the former
and about two cents a pound in the
price of the latter, to say ncthing of
the psychological effect such declines
have had on the slowly returning con
fidence of the Amer^an people.
The exchsngee may be a necetsary
evil in the transaction of the woridli
business, but their activlfcos should
be confined to legitimate trading and
the hectic gambt ng of the remote and
recen- post ihould be absolutely pro
hibited.
Back in the unrestrained gambling
days of 192*1-29, gamblers are said to
have quit the tables cf Monte < arlo
and tranafeired the.r armiUea to 'he
New York stock exchange because
they could get quicker action for their
money The resultant use m prices
ia no wxy reflectei 'he true values of
the stocks that were traded in. In
like manner, if a pownful m> ney
combination should decide to throw
its weight on the bear •ide of the
cotton or grain market, the result*nt
decline in the price rf the commodity
traded in would in n< wsy reflect 'he
true value thereof. Whi e a few
aelfish people are satiating their greed
for grain, thousands of the ptoducor
of such commoJ.’ie, are f reed t> ic-
cept untold losses. They are the in
nocent by-stander* who art injured
through no fault of theirs.
We believe that Pre*i lent Roose
veil will u-e the power imrusted to
him by the American people to bring
about some much needed reforms in
the operation of the exchanges.

I have never been very deep into
high society. A year or so ago, I
was invited to a ewell wedding and
a aweller reception. Everybody had
to be dressed up. It was one of
these here 100 percent formal fes
tivities. Her daddy was supposed to
be worth several exceedingly cool
millions end the bridegroom was open
Jy accused of having descended from
the George Washington family, and
he was likewise reputed to be rich
(8 months later: both busted.)
My wife explained that every
thing had to be “evening.” She get
her " “evening” for about $84.00, the
value of flour bales of cotton right
at that time, and I rented a nice jim-
swinger, swallow-tail dress *uit, the
RHx waiter model, for $3.00, cash in
advance, for my personal use. I had
never been afflicted with one of
these garment# before, bat this par-
