As Viewed by a Gambler.
The view has been expressed of
ten that gambling in cotton fu
tures undoes more fortunes than
the gambling table, and the recent
panic On Wall street has empha
sized the fact that cotton futures
speculation is only a branch of
the business. The stock exchange
is as bad, if not worse than the
cotton market. Pad Sheedy, who
is notorious enough to enjoy* the
designation of “king of the gamb
lers,” declares with some show of
reason that Wall street does more
mischief than all the gambling
saloons in the world. At Buffalo
he is quoted thus:
“If I run a bank the fellow
that plays gets a fair show. He
may put his money down at Mon
te Carlo, and its all his ’till the
little ball drops. If he’s gamb
ling iii stocks, it’s all the other
way. The broker’s on the inside,
and, others being equal, he’ll get
the money anyway. h
“The player feels like the kit
ty before the game begins. He
starts a loser. Now, if he were
playing my game be might break
even, but when he plays the brok
er’s game he quits a loser. The
men who run-the game in Wall
street are. “sure thing’ ’ gamblers.
They know just how the cards are
going to turn every time.
“The limit is too big, top. Wa|l
street makes criminals outof bank
ers and common gamblers out of
society ladies. Yet, the game is
licensed. If I ran a game of faro
the way Wall street game is run,
I’d either be lynched, jailed or
driven put of town. 1 ’
It is iikely that there are men
on Wall street these days who are
in a frame of mind to endorse
these sentiments. White they
make no excuse for the forms of
gambling which Mr. Sheedy would
endorse, we think there is much
truth in what he says about- stock
gam bl ing. There certainly ought
to be restrictions that will pre
elude the selling of thousands of
•shares of stock when the seller
has none to. deliver, and other
features of the game that are as
palpably wrong.—Augusta Chron
icle.

. Lafe Young, editor of the Iowa
State Capital and the man who
nominated Roosevelt at Philadel
phia, made an eloquent address
at the recent meeting of the Illi-
noise Press Association in Chica

“I would rather publish a good,
’clean country newspaper,” he
said, “and enjoy the freedom that
such a position affords than pwii

Editor Lloyd of the London
Statist, one of the leading finan
cial papers of England, writing
upon the inroads made by the
American competition upon Brit
ish trade, says they are not to be
attributed to the natural resourc
es of this country, great as they
are. “These natural resources
did not help the red man,
sententiously remarks. He points
to Holland as a country of poor
natural resources, though it has
played a great part in history anc
is still One of the most prosperous
countries in Europe, and says:
“It is the capabilities of a peo
pie that constitute their rea
wealth. Unfortunately, this
just the fact that England has
been slow to recognize. E’
where we are showing lack of mi
tiative resourcefulness, prepared
ness and staying power.?’
Mr. Lloyd is right. It is not
because tfie United States has an
immense and fertile domaim that
its 7.6,000,000 people are crowding
the English and all other nations
in the race for leadership in the
peaceful arts of industry and com
merce. It is because it is spend
ing more for elementary, higher
and technical education than any
other nation, and has more
school-teachers and college pro
lessors and fewer soldiers and war
ships than any of its great rivals
in tarde.
When Louis XIV. asked Col
bert why he wps unable to con
quer so small a country as Hoi
land, ho answered: “Because
sire, the greatness of a country
does not depend npon the extent
of its territory, but on the char
acter of its people.”

When a boy turns his bulging
pocket inside out we marvel at the
qUanity and variety of articles he
has stowed away. Odd lengths of
string, marbels, a horse-chestnut
a top,: brass nails, hickory-nuts
an apple, and many more articles
are garnered by this “snapper up

the collection must be hard on
boy’s pocket. And it is. But do
we ever think of the variety anc
miscellany of the substance we
put. into the pocket of dux' stom
ach? There’s the apple and the
nutsj ahd things besides quite as
indigestible as brass nails and
with no more food val ue than so
many marbles, And yet we won*

Culture is all in all with hybrid
perpetual 8. A hybrid which in
common garden soil is left to shift
for itself may berhaps never yield
more than its June crop of flow
ers, but keep the soil well enrich
ed—it cannot be too rich—keep it
stirred and mellow and do not al
low the plant to stop growing and
note the result. This is the only
way to bring out the good points,
for the flowers are formed in the
new wood. Given a well drained
bed, from 18 inches to 2 feet deep,
under above treatment, and the
plants of this class of roses will
make a surprising growth of wood
and yield the same proportion of
noble flowers. Added to this, the
branches must be well cut back.
Remove all wood that does not
show strong, healthy buds. It is
sometimes necessary to cut back
to two or three eyes before a bud
is reached from which we may ex
pect a new growth. When branch
es are developed from such buds,
they will almost always bear ros
es, but not with the freedom dur
ing late summer 'that they dis
played in June and July.—Vick.
