Show UTAH DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON. EDITOR. The hollowness of Wall street spallation is clearly illustrated by the fake failure of Sully, the cotton kin. The papers record that he lost $6,000,000 in the squeeze. How He never had could he lose $6,000,000? that amount of money. He did not deal in real cotton but in cotton options. His profits were on paper; if he realized any of them they were simply the loss of some other speculator, just as his alleged losses are the gain of other speculators. But as he did not have the $6,000,000, other speculators could not win that amount from him. States and municipalities make laws against gambling. Such laws are enforced with more or less severity. New York is particularly in the throes now of the gambThe legislature of that ling controversy. state is being asked to enact a law by which Richard Canfield, the notorious, can be sent to prison, and by which young Reggie can be forced to give testimony concerning his loss of half a million dollars at Canfield's gambling tables. But the wilder, the more dangerous gambling of Wall street is permitted to go on without restraint by state or nation. The player at faro at least does see the table and the cards. If he wins or loses he does receive or pay real money. But the gamblers of Wall street do not even deal in real things. They speculate in the cotton that is still growing in the fields or stored in the warehouses of the South without ever actually seeing or owning a bale of it ; they deal in wheat that is in the farmer's bins or in the elevators at Chicago without ever seeing or owning a bushel of it ; they buy and sell railroad stock without even knowing the color of the certificates. And all this tremendous gambling goes on with the tacit approval of the nation, the state and moral society. even The failure of Sully emphasizes the fact anew that Wall street is the worst gambling hell on earth. Monte Carlo is a Sunday Dick Canfields school in contrast with it. faro games are no more to be classed with Wall street gambling iniquities than a summer shower of rain is to be compared with the freezing blizzard off the coast of Newfoundland. Wall street methods have more demoralizing effect on our national life than any one other evil of the times. Some way should be found by legislation to suppress the dishonest gambling under which men sell things they have not got and buy things which they do not get.

THE WALL STREET HELL. . TUESDAY, STATE JOURNAL, in these fresh spring days to note the eagerness of the Salt Lake Tribunes song. The political ichor is in its viens. It sings because it cannot choose but sing. Inasmuch as Theodore Roosevelt who is not the Tribunes own special candidate for president is about to be nominated, that great newspaper finds itself with no listeners in the Republican party ; and so it is determined to chant its nominating lay to Democratic ears. It finds more motives and more secret purposes among the Democrats of Utah to nominate Mr. Hearst than even Mr. Hearsts managers have yet made public. The Tribune becomes truly delightful with its insensible humor, when it begins to re cite the utterances of unnamed Democrats in this state who intend to control the state convention for some particular candidate whose nomination to the presidency perhaps the Tribune desires to defeat by its favor. Democrats can welcome this little interference by the Tribune. As stated it is a great political newspaper. It must have something to say in politics ; and Democrats would probably be just as about much influenced by its utterances as Republicans ap pear to have been in recent times. By the way, with the Tribunes own political fight all balled up, would it not be saving thing for that newspaper and its adherents to come completely over to the Democrat party. It would thereby escape from Roosevelt, also from Bristow, also from Senator Smoot ; and besides all these advantages it would be on the winning side next Novem ' bcr. If the Tribune feels that it would prefer all these disagreeable Republican aflilia EDUCATION NOT SENSATION IS WANTED. The report that Charles Mills Gayley, head of the English department of the university of California, dismissed his class in literature last Friday by telling the that they were a bunch of giggling girls who would not be interested in a poem presented by God Almighty or the angel Gabriel, has called attention anew to the sensationalism of college life. It is less than a generation since the professors of universities in this country and abroad conducted themselves as refined and serious minded scholars. Possibly it is their desire to do so now, but either the character of the professor or the circumstance of the times has greatly changed the action of One professor in Chicago instructors. likens John Rockefeller to Shakespeare giving a little of the edge of the comparison to John ; President Benjamin Ide Wheeler raises a storm throughout the nation with a threat that the Creator will damn boys who play baseball on Sunday ; Gayley leaps into fame or notoriety by his opposition to and bis forceful utterances to the girl students.

Their connection with the Salt Lake store gives them more than five times greater outlet for goods than could be made in any other way. Buying five times greater quantity opens the way for greater variety. Manufacturers and importers make piece and case prices. The difference is about 331 cent. There are goods in their stock that were imported direct. They saved not only the importers profit, but a jobbers profit also. The saving was 100 per cent.
