He argues that ‘‘the butcher or the ‘gtocer” has as much right to set up shops on the street. 2 ~» Indeed, they have more right. <= A’butcher or a grocer is engaged in a legitimate business. For th: “money they receive from their customers they give value. »They provick " mecessities of life—meat-and-other food. They are desirable citizens. * {he comparing of them with Wall street gamblers is inapt. a Rather should the Police Commissioner be asked why part of Broad * street 1s not roped off for faro dealers and roulette wheels.

It would do big business; : It might even be capitalized and bonds, stock and collateral selling of pools there would save many men the time and expense of going to the racetrack. Not only should the police close the curb gambling-house, but they should close the Stock Exchange, which is a gigantic gambling-house. Ninety-nine per cent. of its transactions‘are mere betting on the price of Stocks. It is-_as-much-gambling to-wager-that-a-stock-goes up or down as to bet on a horse coming in first, second or third. The brokers do the bookmaking. The percentage is shound..totakethe-bettors' money in the long run. Where Wall street gambling is so {injurious is that innocent people cannot escape its calamitous results.
