THE GAMBLING SPIRIT
Judge George Anderson, of the
Uniterl States circuit court in Boston,
recently asserted that he did not
believe the average small investor
-Wmself
against the fake stock swindler.
People live by example. Here and
there, now and then, someone makes
sT tremendous oil, profit on some speeu'
latioh, be it steel, wind, water,
property or paper, and this acts
as an incentive—a “come on”—for
ignorant, would-be speculators.
It is safe to say that a very large
percentage of those who invest in 1
various industrial ' stocks are fully |
aware of the fact that statistics for
60 years show only one chance in
20 of winning out..
But they will take that chance.
It’s the gambling spirit—the same
spirit that induces the sure-thing
speculator to play the shell game,
which is only two chances against
him-
It is probably true, also, that these
speculators in fake stock do not
lose more than speculators in so
called legitimate promotion stocks
that are mortgaged, bonded, jug
gled and finally “cleaned-up in a
bankruptcy sale. But few business
men have escaped this loss—and the
number of them multiplies like rab
bits.
The ‘difficulty of deci<|ing between
these two evils, or the difficulty of
drawing a line that will not involve
the exchange and the curb, stands
In the way of either state or feder
al protective legislation. The bucket
shop has its protection and the fake
industrial stock promoter has his—
but the investor—well, congress
takes the position that it cannot leg
islate brains where there is no soil.
And that seems to be what Judge
Anderson means.
The selfish desire to get some
thing for nothing is the chief con
tributing factor, and ie often affects
the promotor as well as the specu
lator.
The fact remains thaf law cannot
make fish of ope and fowl of an
other. ^
Neither can the evil be regulated
by the “successful” dealer.
THE TWENl’IEfll AMENDMENT
In 1916 and again in 1919 congress
in obediance to a nation wide de
mand, enacted federal laws to abol
ish child labor.
These acts were passed in recog
nition of the fact that the demand
for the eradication of this evil was
being met all too slowly by individ
ual states, and because there was
no national uniformity.
Both of these measures were held
to be an interference with the rights
of the individual states and were de
clared unconstitutional.
The present proposal is not legis
lative in character. It merely gives
to congress the constitutional right
to make legislative record of the
opinion of the American people on
this question. It empowers congress
to do, on a nationally uniform basis,
what even the opponents of the
measure agree must be done—that
is, to regulate child labor.
State action on this question, par
ticularly in those states where child
labor is most prevalent, has gone
forward very slowly. In fact there
has been an increase in child labor
during the past four years.
In a few instances it may devel
op temp x. ary hardships, just as the
reduction of working hours did In
the steel mills, but there is no rea
aonable excuse in this great Chris-
nation tor any condition that
the employment of children
factories, mills dr mines.
A Laugh Or Two
A student brought his mother to
university and was showing "her
about. The dear old lady was an
xious to make-her boy thing that
she understood everything.
“Over there,” mother, said the
son, “are our wonderful polo fields.”
“Ah,” sighed the old lady, “what
is there that is nicer than fields of
waving polo?”
“Pussyfoot” Johnson, about to sail
for Europe, replied to a New York
reporter, who offered to buy him a

A man once rang Russell Sage’s

nightshirt and put his head out of

‘“What’s wanted?’ he said.
“ ‘Mr. Sage,’ said the man, ‘I can’t

Russell, shivering as the night wind
whisked about his bare, lean legs.

MUSCADINE HUNTING
(By J. A. Darsey.)
A few days ago the odor of
ripening muscadines came floating
in upon the crisp October air, awak
enrng in this writer’s mind fond
memories of childhood days.
I grabbed my hat and bucket in
hied myself way over the hills,
vales, and streamlets, in quest of
this luscious fruit. As I wenl, the
birds were chirping in the trees, the
squirrels chattering, and “Gotton
Tail” was scuddipg from out the
brier patches along' the way, while
the crisp air was fanning my
cheeks. I went, communing with
and nature’s God.
j searched oat with relentless
eagerness the old vine that wound
around a tree and which I
clambered forty years ago, when a
barefoot boy. My heart was sadden
ed to find that it had become gnarl
ed and knotted and decaying, so
mU ch the worse for fifty years of
suns hi ne and rain, cold and heat,
Hard by, however, we spied a
sturdy scion of this noble vine
which had covered the tops of the
Alder bushes and which was loaded
with the black, luscious clusters of
this famous fruitage of the vine.
My, how they did appeal to me,
and the saliva began to flow un
bidden ns I stood unmoved in their
presence. True, the frost had not,
as yet fallen, but there they were in
all of their pristine beauty. With
one shake of the vine, they were
literally rained down, and before you
could say Jack Robinson, my teeth
had mashed one to a pulp. And Oh.
the exquisite sweetness, mixed with
the flavor of the wind, that exuded
from it. It recalled to mind, vividly
the thrills that greeted mC' when
a boy.
No fruit on earth to match it, not
even in the Garden of the Gods. It
is a miracle of nature, how so much
of sweetness, mingled with the
flavor of hil! and vale, can be com
pressed into so small a receptacle.
Had the frost fallen on them, and
their visages been marred and
wrinkled by age, I do not know, but
what they would have been a great
deal better. I filled my gallon buck
et to the brim, and started for
home with the simple delight of a
child. The same denizens of the
forest and dale greeted me on my re
turn trip and the same crisp, balmy
air blew against my cheeks, and the
same purling waters of the rivulets
greeted my ear, as they hastened on
to the deep, blue sea.
Render, If you want to get a
thrill, if you want to g4t close to
nature’% and God, if you want to
bring back to memory the sweet,
joyous days of childhood, just taka
your hat in you hand and hike away
to the wood and field and vale in
quest of the unmatched and unmatch
able Muscadine. It will do you
good, physically, mentally, and
morally. If the youths want an
outing that it is- worth while, let
them try this once.
They are not only good possum
food, but they are the finest, flavor
ed fruit of the field and forest.
Possums that have, dined on them,
make a dish that can not be excell
ed.
