COMMERCE AND GAMBLING
A remarkable feature in the daily reports being re-*
ceived from the States is the presentation of movements
in the stock market as an indication of a waning of de
pression.
Guaged by this standard, it is evident that the pro
gress of the nation is predicated upon how many win at a
gambling game and not upon industrial progress. It indi
cates that the public’s mind has been divorced from the ac
cepted avenues of industrial financial and commercial ac
tivities and been diverted into a national lottery, some
thing after the manner of Cuba.
The charge has been made that permission of banked
gambling games such as faro, stud poker and roulette,
detrimental in that they encouraged wastefulness, took
money that should have gone to the family and created an
immoral atmosphere generally. If the charge will lie
against the little fellow with his faro layout, it is as reas
onable to say that it will lie against a nation.
If the United States has nothing more stable than the
workings of the big game of the stock market upon which
to gauge national progress, we might as well dig up the
old paraphernalia scrapped with the coming of pseudo
civilization, and begin to deal the cards.
It would be more refreshing to read of factories
starting up and the millions now in want given an oppor
tunity to earn a living.
About all one can get out of the various suggestions
for the banishing of depression is the suggestion of those
with the big gobs of money that “you suckers get busy and
make more money so we may take it away from you.”
Mr. Hoover’s admirers claim his acceptance speech
was equal to the Declaration of Independence. The ques
tion naturally arises: “of whom?”
The most difficult problem before the nation is to de
termine who is a racketeer, heads of big combinations of
capital, international bankers or Capone’s heir apparent.
It is announced that the dry forces have split. The
question is how much was in the pot ?

LGCATION OF VOTES
NO MYSTERY TO HERB
PARIS, Aug. 16. (JP) — President
Hoover’s realization of the weak
ness and the danger of defeat in
November prompted the change of
front incorporated in his accep
tance speech the French press de
clared. While there was great in
terest in his war debt to revision
of cancellation. The press points
out that Hoover tried to accent
economic issues, but that his
attempt to elucidate the Repub
lican party’s straddle prohibition
plank is evidence that he knows
where the votes lie.
