TUB GRAND JUNCTION DAILY SENTINEL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, -1007.
THE DAILY SENTINEL.
I. N. BUNTING, Editor and Proprietor
WALTER WALKER, City Editor.
Entered at ths Postoffice at Grand Junction, Colo., as Seoond Elam Matter
A New Fiscal Centre
If stock gambling is to continue to have an influence on finances
dn the country, the West will demand that a new fiscal tenter shall be
created for it, away from New York.
Eliminating undesirable banking institution and corrupt iflixanoiers
is an awfully good thing for Gotham. But' in that sort of house cleaning
others get hurt beside the banking institutions, to which have been ap
plied the cleansing process.
To avoid this the West should and will create a new fiscal center,
to which they can look for relief when. Wall street has a bellyache or
when stock gamblers find that In order to do pomehting to get the
suckers to bite, they have to create a financial rough house.
The naturul place for this fiscal center is Chicago and here we believe
that the West will create a place where they wiil have a banking center
and where the West can be divorced from New York City.
There waa.no reason whatever why the West should be compelled to
have adopted the system which is generally in use throughout the country
today, had not New York held millions of treasure funds of the west.
Every banking institution of the West had Its correspondent In New
York City and there was an ambition to carry as large a balance with
their New York correspondent as possible.
When Heinze and the gang of freebooters in finance were to be dis
ciplined, New York shut down upon all funds in its banks and what
could the West do but follow suit. Could the banks of the West have
secured the funds on desposit In the city of New York, id would have
been little concern to the West how things went in Gotham.
There’ll good come from this financial flurry. We, perhaps, are not
able to just exactly wherein we shall be beneficiaries; but we will
take careful note of causes, and if they are unnatural and are the result
of the convulsions of Wall street, the west will take care that in the
future Wall street upheavals will have little or no efTcct on the part of
the country in which we live.
What makes the average Individual sorb of half way mad over thb
necessities which compelled the banks to conserve their real money Is
that the whole west has bumper crops on everything. Times are good,
people are making profits, and conditions gave every evidence of con
tinuing on the highly prosperous w-ave that they have been for the past
five years.
If New York and other eastern financial centers will only get calmed
down, we can yet make the pole before the new year with a big advance
over last year's business.
Circumstantial Evidence
We hardly ‘believe that there could be sufficient Inducement brought to
bear upon us to vote to convict a man for a capital crime on purely cir
cumstantial evidence.
There have been cases where the testimony seemed Incontrovertible —
where it looked as if there could be no extenuating circumstances. But
even In thebe coses testimony has later developed In cases where convic
tions and executions have been had; where It was unmistakably proven
that others were responsible for the crime for which another suffered.
In the case of the man, Herman Bllllck, who was tried for poisoning
the Vrzal family In Chicago, the authorities believed that they had cou
v’Tcted the individual alone responsible for those terrible poisonings.
A few days ago the woman who gave the principal testimony against
Bllllck was placed under suspicion. Her husband died very suddenly and
much In the same marnner as did the members of the Vrzal family.
Investigation was again undertaken, and it has been proven to the sat
isfaction of the authorities that Bllllck was not the man who committed
the murders, but that the woman mainly responsible for Bllllck’s con
viction was perhaps the poisoner herself.
That was a case of purely circumstantial evidence. The testimony and
evidence was overwhelming. The jury was a unit on conviction from the
very beginning of their consideration of the case.
Had Bllllck gone to the scaffold, an innocent man would have paid
the penalty for another’s crime.
It is true that In refusing to accept circumstantial testimony and also
in refusing to order conviction on same, many criminals go unpunished.
Yet It were better an hundred times that a dozen criminals go free than
that one Innocent life be put out.
Circumstantial evidence finds small weight with the average man.
Never Dealt in Margins
The Chicago Record-Herald, that splendidly edited publication, pro
duced a few days ago a remarkable picture of J. P. Morgan, whom finan
ciers begin to regard as the financial father of his country In times of
stress periods.
The article was most brilliantly written; but one line attracted our at
tention more than any other.
Speaking of Mr. Morgan's wealth, the article stated that It was ques
tionable If even he knew himself what It was. However, In the gaining
of that wealth, said the article, HE NEVER DEALT IN MARGINS.
If that line could be cut in marble and placed over the desks of one
half of the operators In Wall street there would be few financial panics.
Dealing in margins is h—l. It is a sure road to that place, if long
enough followed. Poker, faro, roulette, baccarat give a man ten chances
to win against one on margins, and the games named are not Sunday
school rlng-around-rosles so far as odds against the players are concerned.
If Morgan dealt In stocks, It' was to buy them out and out and not on
margins. He stood to win some time, simply by holding. With the pro
fessional stock gambler, he stood to be closed out, not on the natural
fluctuations of the stock but on the manipulations of gamblers pure and
simple. »»**
Does anyone wonder that Morgan usually wins out on his great trade
and merger creations when he Is so careful In such matters?
Wall Street has been the menace of this* nation for years, and the
sooner that the fictitious stock gambling wealth of the operators is wiped
out as unclean and abnormal business, the better for the nation.

Casey was once eatlug his lunch
next to an open keg of dynamite
wheu Clancey, a follow workman of
the same nationality, knocked out I
his pipe on the rim of »the keg.
When the boss came out to ascer
tain the cause of the explosion, he!
found only one Irishman where he'
had expected to see two, and immed
iately asked where Casey was and
how long he would be goue.
“It he comets back as fast as lie
went,” replied Clancey, “he won’t
be gone long."
This story was told without com
ment by a prominent manufacturer
in St. Ixnils to a number of employes
who were in the habit of not com
ing back as fast as they went away.
The efTcct was phenomenal, as the
next morning everybody was on the
Job at half-past eight.
