A GREAT GAMBLER

Charles M schwab. president Of the
Steel Trust. Is cutting a wide swath at
Monte Carlo Since hiss elevation to a
position In the financial world with a
salary said to be "a million dollars a
year. Mr. Schwab has been credited
with many virtues. and has been point
ed out to ambitious young men as a
pattern and an example But The spec
tacle OF this gentleman plunging into
gambling of the wholesale variety, and
endeavoring to break the bank. is not
edifying, and is a poor example for The
young men of this country Mr.
schwab would probably discharge an
employe who bet on the races but mis-
millions do not render him immune
from criticism.
The propensity for gambling in yari-
ous forms seems to be deep-seated in
the bosom OF the average man, and
laws are made and sermons are
preached to neutralize it, What shall
be said then. of the example set by
rich Americans who make spectacles
of themselves by plunging at Monte
Carlo? The newspapers told us of The
wedding trip recently of a famous
United States senator According to
these accounts. that gentleman took
his bride to Monte Carlo, and eagerly
watched her for several days while
she won or lost at the gambling table
And yet this same man is celebrated
for his addresses TO religious and so
cial gatherings. and for his words OF
wisdom and advice to young men.
But we are told that such men as
the senator and Mr. Schwab require
mental relaxation. and thus they are
excused. But the bank clerk who bets
on the races or buys ON margins gives
the same reason and he is no more tc
be censured. unless he CANDLES viii
someone else's money We should moi
regard gambling as respectable
whether it occurs in high or low
places. for there is nothing that j.
more dcmoralizing TO men. Mr.
schwab has demonstrated that mil
lion dollar salary may make q fool OF
man.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Ruskin Colony

From the Omaha World-Herald
In The failure Of the Ruskin colony
i'm Georgia. Socialism has once more
come into aggravating contact with a
fact. Man is essentially lazy animal.
His labor is the outcome Of necessity
and not of choice And here comes in
another aggravating fact equally dis
concerting to the promoters of Social
istic doctrines. Man is essentially a
selfish animal. When forced to work
for himself he Will labor much more
assiduOusly than when forced TO work
/ for q whole community
Because of these lamentable. but un-
Ideniable truths the Rusldn colony has
lccasod to be. Because of these same
truths the Brook Farm community was
forced to 20 out of business In New
England many years ago, though lbs
membership was much above She aver.

ono exposure of Tammany iobbery
shows how hard Croker was hit in the
pocket nerve by the November election.
Under rammany rule the word was
passed around that city officials and
contractors who must furnish bonds
would consult their own safety by
patronizing the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company. This is a
corporation in which Croker was in
terested. and he testified before the
Mazet Committee that he received a
large income from this source. 1t is
no wonder that the company made a
great deal Of money. for it charged
onc-half OF one per cent of the face Of
the bond-or $50 on a $4,000 bond
whereas there were and are
other responsible companies which
charge no more THAN Sl5O "a
Thousand, or $l5 ON $4,000

company will be accepted, and the day
