A ROMAN EXAMPLE.
ARE WE BECOMING A NATION OF
GAMBLERS 2
Speculation by Guess Work ut tho Prices

Necessarles OF Llfo-LogallSod Gam
bling Shops Known as Stock Exchanges.


What nation of gamblers this
country is getting to bel We bet on
stocks, on wheat, on corn, on cotton,
on horse races, on baseball, on yacht
races. Every town, even most of the
villages, has It's gambling shop, its
stock ticker, II is even stated on high
authority that many society women are
desperate gamblers, not only buying
and selling stock, but playing poker
and bridge whist for enormous sums,
This is a great evil and will result in
the dCstructlor Of all that Is greatest
and best in the American character II
allowed TO continue without protest.
The vast sums OF money locked uD in
these gambling transactions are be-
yond computation, the amount rGac Is
paid annually to Chicago and NeS
York by the country Is probably
enough to pay the national debt 1t Is
a constant drain, for on the average
the country gambler has a largo per
centage against him, the commission
charged on every transaction in the
end eating up any profits, The banks
encourage this gambling, for they
make most Of their money by lodnlng
on the stocks or produce gambled in.
OF this evil the Nebraska Independ-
ent says; This gambling is loss 10

man can compute 1t, Hundreds NJ

small sums, hut those who put large
fortunes at stake every day Of their

times making immense fortunes. A
man who goes on the board Of trade
and bets on the rise and fall of prices,
who has no goods to sell and neve" ex-
poets any to be delivered to him when
he buys, is simply gambler.
A similar condition of affairs existed
in Rome before the fall Of that repub-
lie, and President Roosevelt, who in

of the Roman, should warn his coun-

LETTERS TO THE CHINESE
Postman Is Moro Reveronccd In China
town Than Policeman.

Postman IL Moro Reverenced In China
town Than Policeman.
No interpreter Is required to assort
the mail that comes TO the residents
OF the Chinese colony In any OF the
larger cities OF the country. The fact
is due to the precautions taken by the
celestlals themselves or their cores
pondents In the land where the boxer"
thrlves, A letter to ChInaman IL
generally consigned to some we'll
known person whose name Is written
In English When celestial writes
to his family In China he invariably
incloses directed envelope, Chinese
names are puzzle even to Cinnamon.
Every Chnaman has several entirely
dsbmllar names, his birth name"
and marriage name" being instances
Then he has clan name or society
name, and a business name and per-
haps another name or two for variety
sake,
The larger firms have their ad-
dresses printed on envelopes which
are supplied to their regular custom
ers, The Chinese consider handling
mail in the light Of an honorable
trust, and there has never been any
complaint that letters are delivered to
the wrong person. A Chinese may
have a serious falling out with a firm
and may have transferred his busl-
ness to a rival, but mail addressed In
care Of his former connection always
reaches him. The Chinese are great
letter writer's. OF course, there Is n
great deal Of business correspondence
between Chinatown and Chinese ports
but much of the mail matter is of n
social nature. Many Chinese who
have n good command Of the intricate
written language of the dragon en-
pro make a good living writing letters
for others OF their race who don't
know how to write. When a Chinese
in this city writes to his relatives
in China he incloses an addressed en-
velope.
The postman Is more reverenced IA
Chinatown than the policeman In
fact, that hardly expresses 1t, for the
policeman only gets the reverence
which comes from fear OF the law,
while the postman, as the link which
connects the inhabitants with the land
Of their birth, is most popular. He is
fortunate man every Chinese New
Years week, for he receives many
presents. II he tried to drink all the
Chinese wine offered to him on his
rounds in the holiday week, he would
never live through It, One does not
have to consult a shipping guide In
Chinatown to learn when the next
mail Is due from the far East. The
Chinese know to day when every
mail arrives and figure to the hour re-
garding the posting Of China-bound
letters. They know that 1t takes thlr-
ty-two days for a letter to go from
Chicago to Hong Kong If 1t Is sent by
the Vancouver steamers They also
know that It takes little longer II
sent by the San Francisco or Seattle
routes, consequently, the Vancouver
mail Is always the heavier.

GOVERNMENT MONEY LOANED TO
THE TRUSTS.

Why should the dastardly attempt
on the life of the President have made
Wall street quail and call for help
from the United States treasury? In
no event would financial affairs be
changed from the present program, the
succession to the head Of the govern
ment was assured to those who would
carry out the policy Of the present ad-
minlstration. A new Congress with a
large Republican majority is but wait
Ing to be called together. Wall street
says business never was better and the
large fortunes that have and are being
amassed by the favored few is an in-
dication that prosperity Is in full blast
in that favored region. And yet there
Is an underourrent of trouble that any
untoward event will bring to the sur
face and prick the beautiful bubble
that has been blown with so much
care and patience. The banks there
have but little cash beyond the reserve
they are required by law to keep, and
the issue Of clearing house certificate
is talked of. There must be something
radically wrong with system that has
so little stability One of the causes
is over capitalization Of the trusts
whose stocks the banks have taken
as security for loans, and Morgan,
Rockefeller and others are also loaded
UP with them awaiting the time that
the least desirable can be unloaded
on the investing public. A vast amount
of these stocks and bonds have been
paid out in lieu Of cash for the plants
of the manufacturing concerns when
the trusts were organized and a good
many Of these stocks and bonds are
constantly being thrown on the mar
ket by their owners, either because
they would sooner have ready money
or they fear they will decrease in price.
The underwriting syndicate who or
ganized the trusts are obliged to buy
these stocks and bonds or the price
would decline and more would be
thrown on the market and the bears
would take a hand and sell for de-
cline and panic would soon bo in
evitable.
This is the reason that the trusts

Manual TRAINING IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS


Manual training has been added to the
curriculum of the public schools in Nash
vile, through the progressive spirit of the
Board of Education in adopting the sys-
tenn. and of the City Council in making
an appropriation for the Inauguration ana
maintenance of the work. There is every
reason for thinking that the innovation
will be attended with the most encourage
ing results. Modern education" said
the New York Evening Post in a recent
issue, requires that no faculty of the
child shall be neglected; that the eye and
the hand shall reinforce the lesson In
the mind. Manual training does not seek
to make artists or artisans. 1t is sim
ply part OF the general training of
every child-as necessary in the eyes of
the best authorities as geography or men
tai arithmetic. 1t should be remembered
that the early stages of education con-
sist simply in teaching the child how to
do things. Manual training, therefore, is
only a method Of applying to the purposes
of education the instinct that leads the
normal child to scribble his text book full
for the school work. instead of against
it,"
The small child is by nature a builder.
He wants to do things with his hands.
Give him a pile of blocks. and he will
build houses, or bridges, or pig-sties-he
will build something. Give him jack
knife, a delight to every childish heart,
on Wi fnCt If
ton asserts itself. There is hardly any
pleasure known to boyhood that is great
er than the pleasure of seeing a long
shaving curl away from a jack-plane or
a drawing knife. The Juvenile tool chest
is a source of greatest satisfaction to the
normal boy, because it keeps both hands
and head busy. 1t affords needed exer-
else and at the same time stimulates the
young workers ingenuity.
Manual training in the schools follows
along this line of natural inclination. 1t
teaches skill with the hands while the
head is being cultivated. 1t makes the
pupils familiar with practical things. 1t
broadens their minds while it is making
their muscles stronger and more trac-
table. 1t does not contemplate making
carpenters, masons and other artisans out
OF the boys, and cooks, seamstresses etc.
out of the girls; nor is it's purpose to in
terfere with or take the place of the
common school studies. 1t is an auxiliary.
purely, intended to aid in developing fac
ulties which may be employed to great
advantage in later life; faculties which
are permitted to lie latent and undevel-
oped by the ordinary common school cur
riculum.
