Accumulation, Not Dissipation.
Oregonian.

OItSbllhn.
\ member Of the group Of propri c
tary gamblers, whose business" is
now to be closed, makes this statement
which We copy from the Erening Ttl

will soon settle itself, for they will 20 Ia
such extremes that the people will turn
/ round and decline to support their mo-
tivcs longer. Gambling is the hest Dos
sihlc thing for Il community. 1t put
money in circulation that would other
wise he tied up somewhere, and no one
would derive any benefit from it.
II is not our purpose at present to
talk about extremes" into which are.
formers" may run. That may he
talked OF some time or other; but what
we design to speak Of now is the asser-
tion that gambling is the best posi-
bic thing for community" since it
"puts money in circulation that
would otherwise be tied up some
where, and no one would derive any
benefit from it,
We do not discuss the moral uues-
ton now. For the present, let that
pass. What we have to say is that,
on the economic side. these assump.
tons are too utterly false, and pitiful-
ly weak, too. There is no wealth,
there can be no wealth, but in produc-
ton. Gambling produces nothing.
1t is dissipation of wealth. No indi.
vidual gets forward by squandering
his money, but by saving it. No com.
munity gets forward by squandering
its money, but by saving it, keeping it,
raising it to accumulation. Money is
the concrete expression OF value pro-
duccd by labor-by toll of body and of
mind. Little or nothing can be
achieved in these days but through
wealth, in accumulation. The conse.
quence is that we want accumulated
wealth; therefore we do not want peo-
pie to dissipate their money, but to
save it. We want money, or what
money represents, cited up" in guam
titles, so it may be available for new
production. 1t is the only way to
"derive benefit" from it.
The man who saves is the man who
renders service to the community;
not the man who squanders his earn
ings or accumulations. Gambling,
therefore, is not the best possible
thing for community, economically,
but the very worst. 1t is. moreover,
the worst possible thing for every
person who pursues it; for it makes
paupers, and what makes paupers can
be no good to the community-only
evil.
We want our people to save their
money and build up fortunes.
Wealth, directed 10 right uses, is
power. Very little, in these modern
times, can be done without it. The
spendthrift is no good either to him
self or to the community. Both are
undone. 1t is not the spending or
squandering of money in useless, still
less in hurtful, ways, that helps
community, but the saving it, the &C.
emulation of it. This is as true in
morals as in economics, and the two
60 together. We have some shopmen
who seem to think it good that money
should be "put in circulation" by
gambling. There could be no greater
error. What we want is money saved.
Otherwise we shall be savages.

WHO WILL Own THE FOUNDATION?
The Spokane Chronicle, under date
Of the Goth ult., has something to say OF
an interesting question which will arise
if the present move to relocate the State
capitol should carry or the courthouse
scheme prevail. 1t is the question
OF a disposition of the land upon
which the present capitol stands, and
on which was started the foundation
for the 100000 capitol, which was
planned by the Legislature OF 1895,
but which was hardly started before
the grant for its construction became
unstable and it was abandoned. The
land was donated to the State for
" capitol purposes" by Edmund Syl-
vester, and it is claimed that at any
time it is abandoned by the State it
will revert to the heirs OF the original
owner, and the question arises as to
whether or not the foundation will be
included in the loss of the land. The
heir to the Sylvester estate is Miss
May Sylvester, who has recently been
admitted to the bar, and it is said that
if the State abandons the land she
will 60 into the courts to assert her
claim to the foundation.

WONDERFUL stories are told of Ted
dy Roosevelt's proves as hunter in
the mountains of Colorado. It is said
that this Sampson, the other day, en-
countered a full-grown mountain lion,
with her three kittens; that the in
trepid hunter at once showed the
breach OF his gun down the animals
throat and then cut her throat with
his scalping-knife. 1t is not alto
gether improbable that Teddy owes
his victory to his unique style of war
fare. 1t is hardly probable that Mrs.
Lion expected to be shot with the but
end of the gun, or that he would use
the cleaning scalping-knife designed
for service in raising the hair of Indi.
an braves for such an ignoble service as
throat-cutting. After demolishing the
she lion, Teddy leisurely killed the
cubs and several grown animals, with
the same ensanguined knife. He has
the tooth-marks on the gun to exhibit
as a proof of his yalor.

chestnuts as the Mirror Maze" the
" Scenic Railway" and Roltaire's ere

years ago. Still some OF our law-mak.
ers are seriously discussing the ques-

The Kalama Execution.

The hanging OF Stickcl At kalama,
last Friday. the sclf-cOnfcsscd MUIR
dcrcr OF at least three human beings,
may be Of some service in restraining
the brutal instinct OF the assassin, and
to overcome the impression which OG-
servation has produced that conviction
for the capital crime is slow and un-
certain, and adequate punishment al
most unknown. The speed with
which this case was rushed to retri
butive end, was justified under the pc
culiar circumstances surrounding it,
the elimination Of the slightest doubt
OF guilt, by full and free confession
OF the murderer. 1t was we'll, there
fore, that the laws vexatious delays
were not invoked to protract or defeat
the ends Of justice.
There has been considerable COM
ment upon the bungling job made by
the Sheriff of Cowlitz county, in per-
forming his horrible duty. 1t seems
that the fall was too great, and that
the flesh OF the victim was terribly
torn and that blood gushcd forth in 4
stream that dcluged his clothes from
head to foot. 1t is said that several of
tho spectators tainted from witnessing
this unusual accompaniment of the
horrible spectacle.
1t seems difficult to conceive, how
ever, Of anything more terrible than
deliberately strangling n being
at the end OF a rope, and just how the
flow OF blood which was, at least, some
evidence that the work had been
quickly and effectively done, could
add to the horror, seems inexplicable.
1t may be that familiarity with this
method OF inilicting capital punish
ment has shorne it of its terrors, OK
cept when some unusual detail has re-
vealed its atrocity, as in the late hang
ing at kalama, but ii so, it is an ac-
acknowledgement that the moral sensi-
bilities become blunted, if not entirely
obliterated, from an acceptance as
matter OF fact and frequent contem-
pl alton OF such horrible practices,
when sanctioned by public opinion
and embodied in law. 1t will be re-
membered that the first objection
against electrocution, as a substitute
for hanging, was that it was too horri-
BILE to contemplate: as if instant death
from the invisible current could be
more shocking to the living, under
Reasons dictates, than necessarily pro-
longed consciousness in the DEATH
throes from strangulationl
Very little sympathy is due those
sensitive spectators who were overcome
by the horror of the Stickel execution,
when it is considered that they were
unable to resist the morbid impulse
for witnessing the death of fellow
creature.

lodged in Jail at Colfax Monday night
on charge OF attempted murder upon

lying on the ground. Raper is lying

DEMOCRATIC Senators are now called
upon to decide whether the Ship Sub
sidy bill, which is again the "unfin-
ished business" of the Senate, shall
pass or shall fail to reach a vote. 1t
is admitted by friends and foes of the
bill that if the Democrats choose they
can easily prevent its heing voted
upon. The course OF the Democrats
is not yet certain. There are two
sides to the question. Some contend
that on general principles it is the
duty OF the Democratic and Populist
Senators, as representatives OF the
people, to defeat such a vicious bill,
while others are equally confident that
as a matter of party policy the Demo-
Gratis ought not to stand in the way of
the placing of such milestone around
the neck of the Republican party as
this subsidy bill would be likely to
prove, if allowed to become law.
There is some talk of a caucus to de-
eide what shall be the Democratic
policy toward this bill.

GEN. Miles can thank his personal
friends in the U. S. Senate for the dis.
covery in time TO defeat it, Of scheme
to depose him from the command OF
the army, under the Army Reorganiza-
ton bill. That bill as drawn by Adju-
tant General Corbin, whose hatred for
Gen. Miles is widely known, specially
provided that the present Adjutant
General should be retained and with
the same rank, but i'll providing for
the appointment of Lieutenant Cen
eral who should have command of the
army, the appointment was left wide
open. The scheme first became known
by friends Of Gen. Otis and of Gen.
Brooke seeking Senatorial support for
the nomination of one or the other to
be Lieutenant General. Fortunately
the nomination has to be confirmed by
the Senate which would never have
consented to such a low down trick
being played upon Gen. Miles, even
had it not been made impossible by
an amendment added to the bill in
conference.
