SPEOIL VTION
How mauy were rained Qnancially
how many lives wero blighted and how
many homes were darkened by the re
cent Wall street speculative panic will
never be known nor will the awful les
son taught by the catastrophe be heed
ed long
Men will continue to risk their for
tunes their happiness and the happi
ness of their dependants in the mad en
deavor to grow rich in a day
This is preeminently an age of vast
combinations of wealth and with us as
perhaps with no other generation money-getting
is the prime object of life
Education culture and refinement
must all pay tribute to our god of
wealth and worth and position are all
toojoften reckoned by dollars and cents
It is idle to try to stem the flood as
well attempt to check an army in full
retreat But when leisure has given
time for thought and the soldiers of fi
nance realize the inevitable defeat
which will stare them in the face if
they return to the fray calm reason
ing may avail
Speculation is legitimate but board
of trade gambling no less than any of
the petty games of professional gam
blers is so nearly allied with wrong as
to be almost inseparable from it
Strictly speaking there is no moral
wrong in risking what one can afford
to lose but how few stop at this
Practically none A first loss begets a
craving for further paying of chance
in hopes of making a win a second
leads to a third and so on until the
players funds are exhausted his credit
gone and his welcome at the gambling
ring at an end
The man who stops gambling when
he can no longer afford to lose what he
risks is a rare rarity
Speculation is not wrong for all bus
iness is speculation in a greter or less
degree and no one would think of con
demning all business but legitimate
business differs from m argin specula-
uon in ttiis that is freer from chance
and the pernicious effects which chance
breeds
There is uncertainty in business just
as there is in gambling or margin-speculation
but it differs in degree and dif
fering in degree offers a greater tempt
ation for illicit practices
The legitimate business man depends
for his success upon the confidence
which he can inspire for himself and
his goods and consequently finds it to
his interest to be honest in his dealings
The gambler whether on board of trade I
or in a public or private den depends
for his success upon his ability to
fleece therewith wbcm he conies in
contact His occupation favors dishon
esty while that of the legitimate busi
ness man demands honesty
Apart from the moral phase of the
matter tha nervous strain intense ex
citement and nerve wracking anxiety
which attend board of trade operations
are aangerous Calculations made by
the Chicago board of health during the
fore part of the present corn deal show
that the number of deaths attributed to
speculation materially increased Men
more easily succomb to the worries of
-board of trade operations than to those
of legitimate business
jnere win always be men who will
risk much to gntii much and so long as
thejrare allowed to speculate they will
undoubtedly do so For them warn
ings are of no avail Filled with a
frenzy for which even they cannot ac
count and urged on by the hope of
amassing wealth without delay they
will continue to gamble under one form
or another but their folly should not
be construed into a justification of
their practices South Omaha Tmes
