CATALINA'S RADIANCE


1t is with sense of Sc tisfaction that
The Herald notes its crusade against
gambling at Catalina Island has won a
bloodless and speedy victory. The good
Judgment OF the proprietors of Southern
California's queen of summer resorts was
in the balance. and it has not been found
wanting. According to information re-
ceiveG from our spondent today
every Illegal game that has been running
full blast at Avalon has been summariy
closed. lE one case the machinery of
the roulette table and the loaded ad-
juncts of the crap game have been re-
moved and in the other the rooms in
which this cinch gambling was conduct
ed have been closed
The danger that The Herald exposed
was no small one, and it was only oues-
tion Of time before serious scandal would
have been produced. 1t is almost impos-
sible to Illustrate the gambling instinct
of mankind, and The word instinct is
The herald., 1897-08-18

used advisedly I; but it is possi-
BILE to prevent temptation from
being put in the path of the
immature. But for the daily crop Of
schoolboys and young clerks the roulette
tables and crap games as conducted by
Kellogg & Co. at Avalon would have
reaped very poor harvest. No expe-
rienced man could watch such games
and not be convinced that the lads were
running their heads and their purses
against a sure thing game as palpable
and yet as crafty as the three card trick.
Public opinion has put stop to these
practices at Avalon, but it is worth while
noticing that the arm of the law was
either impotent or did not chose to exert
itself-probably both. Had it done so
and confiscated the illegal outfits, the
foundations of the roulette table would
have proved a valuable object lesson to
young men inclined to run up against
such follies. The bottoms of such
roulette tables as those run at Avalon
are much more instructive than the tops.
Catalina is bountifully endowed with
variety of sports and pastimes. There
is every natural opportunity there to be
sportsmanlike and the artificial means
of being sporty-a very different thing
would better be placed in the same cate
CORY as tramp boats and be warned off
the island.

FROM NEWSBoY TO COLLEGE
PRESIDENT

There Is Inspiration for American
youth in the career of Jerome H. Ray
mond, who, at go years of age, has just
been elected president of West Virginia
university. Mr.. Raymond is the young
est college president in the United States.
Twenty years ago he was newsboy in
the streets of Chicago, helping to sup
port his widowed mother by selling the
daily papers
When he was IL years old young Ray
mond started a boys newspaper of his
own, but he had sense and self-control
enough to quit the fascinating field to
become office boy to George M. Pullman.
He studied stenography and soon be-
came the magnate's private stenogra-
pher.
He wanted an education, however, and
he again had the good sense and the
courage to leave his promising position
to enter Northwestern University acad-
emy He completed the four years
course in one year, and at the same time
supported himself and his mother by
acting as stenographer to Miss Frances
E. Willard and others. He entered COL
lege in 1883 ,and remained two years.
Then he became the private secretary Of
Bishop Thoburn and accompanied his
employer on two years trip around the
world. He kept up his college studies,
and while in India learned Sanscrt.
He returned home in 1892 and immedi-
ately re-entered Northwestern univer-
sity. Upon his graduation he was given
the degree of Phi. D. Mr.. Raymond then
became prominent as university ex-
tension lecturer on economics, and at
tracted the attention of President Har-
per of the University Of Chicago. In
1895 he took the chair of sociology at the
University of Wisconsin In the same
year he married Miss Nettie ]. Hunt
who had defeated him for the Kirk
prize for oratory at Northwestern uni
versity. He was endorsed for the presi-
dency of West Virginia university by
the faculties of Northwestern, Johns
Hopkins, Chicago, Wisconsin, Princeton,
Harvard and Yale, and was chosen from
seventeen applicants.
The Herald has thus presented the
career Of this brilliant young man in
detail because it shows the possibilities
that lie before rightly endowed, faithful
and persistent American youth. Not
every boy can hope to emulate all of
President Raymonds successes, but it
will pay to try. From newsboy to col
lege president in twenty years is an
achievement that could be performed
nowhere else but in this great republic
of ours.

SILVER REPUBLICAN PARTY's
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

HJn Charles A. Towne, the able chair
man of the National Silver Republican
party, yesterday announced the men,
bers OF the executive committee of that
party. Mr.. Towne has appointed a
strong committee, most of the gentlemen
named being men of national reputation
in the silver cause. Ex-senator Fred
T. Dubois who is to be chairman of the
committee, is recognized as one of the
ablest advocates of bimetallism in the
world. He is also krown as brilliant
organizer and an indomitable fighter.
Charles H. Hartman of Montana, who is
named on the committee, is the present
Silver Republican congressman from
that state. He was elected by an almost
unanimous vote last fall in his state to
succeed himself, and he occupies conf
mandipg position in congress, where he
is known as ready speaker and keen
debater. James H. Teller of Chicago,
also one OF the committee, is a brother
of Senator Teller, and is the author of
that standard work OH bimetallism, the
Battle of the Standards" Mr.. Teller
IS leading lawyer of Chicago, and was
one of the fusion candidates for congress
in that city last fall. Mr.. Towne COM
plimented the Silver Republican forces
of California in placing Nathan Cole, jr.,
president of the Silver Republican club
of this county. Oh the committee, and at
the same time secured tireless and uel-
compromising worker. Tie other MEM
bers of the committee are Judge ]. J.
Harper &C Ohio, Ben S. Dean of New
York and A. NJ Stevenson of Denver.
All of these men were prominently
ident titled with the bolt of the Silver Re
publicans last fall, and since then have
been engaged in organizing the Silver
Republican forces into a national party,
represented today by state organiza =
tions in thirty states of the uron, with
members in both branches of the ma =
tional legislature. The Herald proph-
estes that the Silver Republicans will
continue to occupy ar important posi-
tion in national politics.

EXPRESSED IN FIGURES

Now that the Dipgley tariff law is in
active operation it is possible to ''size ii
up" so to speak, and form some idea as
to what it will accomplish. Government
statisticiaus have been actively en-
gagged in analyzing the new law and the
chief of the bureau has prepared state
meut showing the estimated loss to the
government on account of increased i'm
ports from March to July !, In, apticipa-
tion of the increased duties of the Ding
ley law. He fixes the net loss to the gov
ernment, after deductipg 10 per cent as
being attributable to the improved busi-
ness conditions, at s32, 2,666,427 Brad
streets in presenting the figures says
that the amount represents about one
fifth Of the goverm ent's total collec-
tions from customs for year.
Still another government contribution
to tariff statistics compares the rates
under the Dingley law and those under
the Wilson law, in ad valorem terms.
The average rate of duty under the new
law is 5466 per cent ad valorem as COM
pared with an average of 40.10 per cent
under the Wilson law. Bradstreet'e
summarizes the increases as follows:
Chemicals, from 1888 to 3o.s7 per cent;
woods and woolens, from 47.62 to 1854
per cent; silks, from 1896 to 5S.41 per
cent; earthenware and glassware. from
80 to 52.45 per cent; metals, from 3Sn
to 1924 per cent; sugar, from 40.94 to
741G per cent; tobacco, from 1906 to
1870 per cent; agricultural products,
22.44 to SS.42 per cent; spirits ETC.. from
6154 to 6S.S3 per cent, and cotton manu-
factures, from 42.75 to 52.33 per cent.
