THE GAMBLING PRESS.

Some of the daily papers are loud
in their complaints about gambling
and lotteries.
What makes gamblers?
The gambling instinct in some
and open encouragement in others.
The open encouragement of gam
bling comes from the daily papers
themselves.
Take the Tribune, for example.
That able and highly respected
newspaper devotes page every day
to the propagation of gambling.
Its race reports are like the black
board of a pool-room. Every little
detail of the chances offered and
taken on some skin horse-race is
openly reported.
There are no honest horse-races
any more, outside of the trotting
turf.
So that, for all practical purposes,
the daily papers might just as well
publish the list of bets on the num-
bers of a roulette wheel. The prin-
ciple is the same.
THE EAGLE is no advocate Of
puritanism,, 1t does not cry out
against gambling, because if men are
fools enough to gamble they will
gamble anyway. But THE EAGLE
wonders at the strange course Of
great newspapers which protest
against gambling in one column, and
then devote several other columns to
its propagation.

AN UNMITIGATED NUISANCE.

The so-called gas motors in use on
some of the lines OF the North Chi
cago Street Railway are not only an
unmitigated nuisance but they are a
positive menace to the public.
They are constantly exploding, and
whether moving or standing still,
they make such a frightful noise that
the tamest horse takes fright when
anywhere near them.
1t is too bad that Mr.. Yerkes, who
has done so much for the people of
the North Side, permits this state of
affairs to exist. He has manifested
a disposition to help the people on so
many occasions that he ought to keep
up his record in this matter.

year.

The project of the Chicago City
Railway Company to put electric cars
with overhead wires on South Clark
street, is an outrageous one.
1t should be stopped at all hazards.
The corporations have very little
regard for human life anyway, but
this is carrying things entirely too
far.
An electric line would spoil Clark
street.
Overhead wires would endanger
the safety Of the people.
Citizens and merchants living on
the street are unanimously against
the proposition.

came a Democratic battle cry. Three
years ago Senator Coppinger, of Al
ton, introduced a bill for its repeal,
and it was defeated by the Republi-
cans upon a strict party vote, the
Democratic members from every part
of the State voting for the repeal.
At the last session the Democrats ac-
complished the repeal of the infamous
law, although the Republicans OPP
posed the bill with all their strength.
The labor people are not likely to
forget this. They know that vote
for Gary is practically vote to re-
enact the conspiracy law. 1t is not
regarded as an Altgeld issue 1t has
been and still is an issue upon which
the Democratic party Of Illinois has
made a record Therefore the labor
element of Chicago is solidly for the
Democratic judicial ticket this fall. ;"

In beginning his chapter on Religion. Mr..
Francis Darwin reminds us that his father in
his published works was ~reticent on the matter
Of religion. and that what he has left on the
subject was not written with u view to puSli-
cation. Mr.. Francis Darwin believes that his
fathers reticencs arose from several causes.
He felt strongly that a mans religion is an
essentially private matter and one concerning
himself alone. This is indicated by the follow
ing extracts from q letter OF 1870: What my
own views may be Is u question Of no eonss-
9uenee to any ons but myself. But as roy ask.
