...exchanges in many parts of the country . . . conduct, of course, a national business. . . . The managers of these exchanges have, it is true, often taken steps to correct certain obvious abuses. We must be certain that abuses are eliminated, and to this end a broad policy of national regulation is required. ... It is my belief that exchanges for dealing in securities and commodities are necessary and of definite value to our commercial and economic life. Nevertheless, it should be our national policy to restrict, as far as possible, the use of these exchanges for purely speculative purposes...
...other great pagans who enjoyed, for whatever reason, a mediaeval reputation, Virgil was vulgared into a necromancer. Although to the learned few he was "poeta doctus," and was through the Fourth Eclogue the cherished prophet of the churchmen, the common legends centered about magic of a more obvious kind, and in them Virgil made glass talismans to confound the flies of Naples...

Precisely the same tactics are being used by the same...
...think, obvious by this time that the eventual triumph of Mr. Roosevelt's ideas will mean that the capitalistic class will suffer greatly in wealth, power, and influence, for the while the capitalist system may endure it will be in a sadly atrophied form. Consequently, what is more logical than that this class should make every attempt to maintain their system and to this end attack the President on every occasion? All the support that he has received from them so far has been given him merely because of their hope that they themselves might gain control of the regulatory...
