THE WAR ON GAMBLERS

The war inaugurated by the people OF
Chicago upon the gamblers bids fair to
become a national crusade. The parent
organization at that point is to be sup.
plemented by auxiliary societies in ali
the large cities of the Union. The work
Is to be mapped out in a systematic wav.
and the best means devised and brought
TO bear to stamp out this great evil,
Here Is practical religion in its best es-
tate. Unhampered by creed or dogma.
untrammelled by formulas and rituals.
the best people of all creeds unite in a
crusade against most malignant crime.
DIvested of all selfish motives. or any
attempt to build up a society for self
glorlhcation, but with the sole aim of
combating single offense against law
and good morals, these people, by thor
ough organization and singleness of pur-
pose VIII accomplish more for the cause
of practical, every day religion than
many churches. 1t is no detraction from
the offices Of the church to commend
such efforts. The church has its mis-
sion, and its field embraces more than
any specified evil, or class of evils. 1t
is only supplemental to its great work
that these collateral agencies are made
most effective. Many of the most active
participants in this anti-gamblers So
ciety are ministers in the various de-
nominations, and mary, though not all.
are active In church work. 1t is an ele-
ment of strength, however. that all NAV
participate. There are 10 pledges. no
vows nor articles of faith. The simple
desire to do good is the only prerequisite
for admission 10 the work. The OUT
come will be matter of deep solicitude
to all who are IN sympathy with the
movement.
The society will find ample scope to
exercise its best thought and greatest
energy. Gambling, is it is practiced in
this country, embraces far more than
the fraternity who 90 their nefarious

BULLS II THE NET

1t really begins to look as if the au-
thorlties were getting move on them
to enforce the interstate commerce law.
Ex-President Reinhart with other officials
of the Santa Fe road, are under indict-
meut by the federal grand jury for Civ
ing rebates to favored shippers. The
law strikes in both directions, making
the party who pays and the one who ac-
ceptS the rebate to suffer its penalty.
Some of Chicagos big shippers are also
indicted with the railway officials
Bench warrants have been issued and
there is every indication that these cases
will be brought TO speedy trial The
penalty, as fixed by law, is s., 900 fine or
Imprisonment for two years, or both.
1t is to be hoped that there will be no de-
lay, nor mercy shown to anv of these
parties. If laws can be openly Violated

ton, or for private gain to shipper y
then all restraints should be removed
from similar crimes. We punish the
thief for appropriating what is nos his
own, and there should be no exemption
because there is collision between two
or more to enrich themselves by Illegal
means. The rebate paid to favored
shippers is indirectly taken from those
not so favored. 1t interferes, by Just so
much, with their just right TO fair com
petition in trade. This right Is sacred
to every man, and it is q simple out
rage that it should be taken from any
one by the common carrier who Is re-
quired by law to treat all alike.
Does anybody know of such discrimi-
nations in Wichita: If so. il is a simple
matter of duty TO place the information
in the hands of the grand jury. II our
own dealers have Joined the railroads
in the infamy of keeping up rates in re-
turn for such favors they are the worst
enemies we have. If ninety-nine law
abiding people can be held up, and inn
posed upon through the agency of one
man who violates the law, 1t is time his
identity was known. and that he be
brought TO Justice. In all conscience,
Wichita has suffered long enough, and
the aggregate loss has been great enough
TO call for immediate and radical meas
ures, and 1t seems that nothing short of
this viii accomplish the end. When We
present united and solid front IN our
demand for equitable rates we will get
them. but not before.

ALL TRAITORS WERE BooDLERs.

is the eternal prophecy that applies to al
criminals whether they be criminals be.

ton is, Honesty is the best policy"
Both are now resounding in the con-
science of the political gang that Is al
the head of public affairs il Kansas.
The boodler is about as low criminal as
there is In the catalogue. ''Boodling" is
a modern word, but the crime which il
represents is as old as human nature.
All ages of the world produced "bood-
lers" and all ages provided the same
common fate for them-infamy.
a traitor is the most detestible of all
human creatures and a traitor after all
Is nothing more nor less than a boodler.
Doodle is the incentive to treachery.
Various incentives are given for the ac-
tons OF the most conspicuous traitors of
the world. but when history is examin-
ed closely it viii be found that Doodle
was the main incentive in almost every
case. The betrayal of Christ by Judas
lscariot was plain case of Doodle. He
committed his Infamous crime for thirty
pieces of the same metal that Peter
Kline paid Attorney General Little,
that John i. Jabobs paid to L. ID. Lew
cling. The crime of Benedict Arnold
Is alleged sometimes to haye been precip-
ltated by wound inflicted on his feel
ings by the colonial congress, but when
you look into the facts you will find it
to be plain case OF Doodle. He
was in financial straits in Phil
adelphia and he never intended to
sell his country for any other reason but
to raise money to sustain him in his
reckless and extravagant mode of living.
Doodle made slaves of the Greeks and
the Romans. Doodle established the
reign of the Saracen in Europe. Doodle
crushed liberty in Scotland. Doodle
riveted the shackles of slavery upon the
Irish. Doodle was the prime incentive
Of the inquisition in Spain.
There should be no boodlers in re-
public. Trust is the highest honor a
people can confer upon fellow citizen.
Honesty should guide his every action.
1t Is the only policy he can pursue
that will bring an adequate re-
ward. To secure the good wishes
If his countrymen should be the
highest ambition of every citizen.
A clear official record is the richest
legacy public servant can bequeath to
MS party; it is the only thing he, him.
'elf. can enjoy through life; nothing
Use will solace him in his dec lining years
'r soften his pillow when the fatal hour
arrives when he is called before the
,ternal Judge where noodle has no
)ower to corrupt.
If Lewelling, Little, Close and their
,o-boodlers had presented a righteous |
curse in Official life they would be
,iven credit for honesty and out of that |
equation they would derive more |
pleasure than out of all the glittering
hechels of Pete Kline and his tribe. As |
