The Attorney General of the State of Kansas has stated that he would enforce the anti-bucket shop law now on the Kansas statute books, but up to date no definite action has been started. Unfortunately, public opinion has not been of sufficient force to arouse officials to decisive action. That the bucket shop is a menace to society no right minded man can gainsay.

Kansas has a stringent law the enforcement of which will drive them out of the state once and for all time. The excuse of some legitimate dealers that they need the quotations they furnish is a weak one. In Wichita, where a bucket shop is doing a thriving business, there is a representative of a regular Board of Trade house and regular quotations are posted. If outsiders must deal in grain, let them trade with those who can give them a fair deal and the protection of a Board of Trade membership. Drop in this week and look over our display.

JL 1 In Hutchinson and other large cities in Kansas regular Board of Trade houses are represented, giving Kansas City and Chicago quotations. With these regular established houses giving quo tations the grain dealers are kept in close touch with the market fluctua-, tions and have no excuse for encouraging bucket shops with their patronage.

The time has come when something should be done towards enforcing this law. It has been on the statute books since June 1 of last year, and there can be no excuse whatever on the part of the state and county officials for at least not bringing an indictment against them. If then the so-called bucket shops can show a clean bill of health, good and well; but if they cannot, they should go, and at once.
