Another privilege, and one that looks like pure strained honey, is that he can use stock owned by his ctstomers collateral for loans, and mot increase his chances of going to the penitentiary, as the ordinary professional thief would as his own Isn't it laughable to think that it is the customer's property that the gambler risks on his own wagers?

Smith’s money to win on Sugar Pre ferred, for example; also bet Smith’s money on Sugar Pre- ferred to lose, and collect commissions from Smith on both transactions.

Howard and U. S. District Attorney Coiner will soon be recalled from office Ss Poindexter, Senator To the progressive, thinking people of this. state, the] * removal of these men is a distinct victory - Both appointments smelled to the very skies § appointment was the carrying out of a brazen political agree ment to steal the republican delegates of this state for Taft Howard's appointment, following in the wake of the im peached Hanford, was an insult to a peopie who had fought hard to get rid of a corporation-ridden judge. Poindexter alone came to the aid of the people of this state. His colleague in the senate, Wesley L. Jones, was busy whitewashing Senator Lorimer. Mark this man Poindexter—he’s looming up big, not only in this state, but in the nation. Throughout his congressional career Poindexter has shown himself fearless, progressive and courageous. He fought Joe Cannon in the lower, house when the czar was at the height of his power. It was Poindexter who made a per sonal investigation of conditions at Lawrence, Mass., and the American people were given some illuminating impres sions on the big industrial war. Today Senator Poindex- ter alone has fearlessly registered himself on the Congres- sional Record as a member of the progressive party May his tribe increase, in whatever party they may exist PROFESSOR BILL TAFT William Howard Taft, professor of law, Yale. That's the job decided upon by the man who today is president of the United States. He'll take it after March 4 next. It looks lie a wise selection and a good job. Bill Taft not only will tell Yale boys how to master law and all about legal history, but he° will lecture at other universities and in public halls on public questions and on a lot of interest ing things a man learns about when he occupies for four years the biggest chair in the world. The salary is $5,000. Taft has a private income of $8,000. If he can’t worry along on $13,000, his brother Charlie is always there to fall back upon.
