DON'T TRY TO GET RICH QUICK.

The processes whereby fool may be separated
from his money have become so ramihed that
the wise is likely to find himself fault when he
seeks to follow the line that will lead fortune
Speculation, which has done much to develop the
resources of this nation assumes such alluring
forms that only he who is quite dead to the possibilities
of the is altogether free from the desire put his
fortune touch Wherefore sharpers wax rich and
boards depleted.
Within the week dozen getricl- quick games have
been exposed and the exposures have swept away at
once the Investments" that inevitably have been
taken in by the thieves in the course of
few months. The sympathy that goes the people
who have been vctimized by these games must Of
cessy be nctured by feeling of contempt for the
losers. They the victims primarily of their own
cupidy. To get in larger that 'unearned in
crement of which complain they essay to gam
bic. Upon their heads let the blame be placed-but
there is pitifu side to their fatuous reaching for
wealth. So many of them have found themselves shv-
ering the brink of penness age SO many thousands
have exposed their families to want That's the pity
of it.
To them is useless. In all the ages since
that time when bogus lottery tickets were vended by
impudent criers in the streets of Rome down yes
terday when the swndler put away his gold brick and
his goods and established himself in palatal Of
hces and invested his bank roll in printers ink the dupe
has stood ready to snap at whatever bait offered
Putting the thieves behind the bars avails but little
If it is true that "theres sucker born every minute"
it is equally that in that brief space there is
born fated to play the role of a sharper.
Legitimate of enterprise for the explota-
ton of speculative promptings are numerous enough to
employ the activities of who have saved money.
It not always easy for the thrifty who lives
distance from the of speculative activity find
opening for investmen-for he is likely to overlook
that surest and richest of wealth-the soil Per-
haps the exposure of the numerous gambling swindles
will compel the of small his own safety
by real estate investment In which event the suffering
of the deluded of today will be lost to the
possible dupes of tomorrow.
Under present conditions 1t might be we'll for those
disposed to invest in the other fellows game make

PEssIM1sM AND PHILANTHROPY.

Andrew Carnegie the other day offered to hand
tidy sum OF money, $36o,ooo to Mr.. Bowen wherevith
to settle the claims of Germany against Venezuela
Wherefore certain class of newspaper editors through
out the country felt impeled to cry against the
conditions which make it possible for Individual to
offer out of his private purse the means of averting
calamity for people.
1t IS the carping criticism that is directed against
of Mr.. Carnegies position and aims that makes it
difficult for the rich to get away from dying dis
gracefully rich. 1t is true that Mr.. Carnege's meth
DDS of getting rid of his money have sometimes Dor
dered the spectacular, but there nothing in the
mans life habits which would justify the assumption
Of vangloriousness. And if there WERE why look
gift horse in the mouth?
The great ironmaster is of the few men who
have found difuse their gifts to the public
In such reach and benefit the greatest
possible number of people He has Invested his argess
OF the seeming of aims, and has only accomplished
already an ncalculable of good but has laid
the foundation for engine that will go doing good
TO humanity for hundreds of years to come.
The writers who accused Mr.. Carnegie of playing
to the gallery in sending that brief telegram to Bowen
had not the wit to perceive the danger that Carnegie
sought to overcome The sum he offered as loan to

the newspaper was ridiculous farce, and served no

Senator MCGOWAN the last messiah to lead the
world from the darkness of its newspaper shadows pro-
poses that matter he considers undesirable should be

to be undiscoverable. If the bill becomes a law we
may confidently expect the solon to forward

one Addicks Republicans in the legisla-

piled to the ten regulars refusing to
make any other settlement regarding
the election of two United States SEN

al, the answer says:
1T may be admitted that there was
a desire to show clearly and definitely
whether the personal candidacy of Mr..
Addicks was indeed the cause of the
political anarchy in this state or wheth-
er it was in effect a factional fight for
supremacy alone and the spoils of Of

due to a desire to trade or dicker over
these high positions. The time has
passed for such consideration. The sit
uation is clear. Mr.. Addicks had with
drawn as a candidate before this legis-
lature. There is no longer any reason
why the party should not unite and
choose two United States senators in
lawful and regular manner

HAVANA. Feb. 17.-President Palma
will not send the coaling stations
agreement to the senate until Presi-
dent Roosevelt has signed it, and he
will not permit the publication Of the
text of the agreement. The stations
will include the lower bay Of Guanta-
na1no, with twenty square miles of
land, and five miles of land and water
at Bahia Honda. According to a Cuban
official, the private lands will not be
purchased, but will be leased, subject
to a secondary treaty covering the
leases.
No delay is expected to occur in
completing the treaty covering the
sovereignty of the Isle of Pines and
Incorporating the Plat amendment
into the permanent agreement. There
is no doubt here that the United States
will recognize Cuban sovereignty over
the Isle of Pines.

If accomplished, might result in land

Germs in the felon's docket.
Mr.. Carlson's measure travels under
the guise of a bill to prevent the

accomplish just the opposite of that
laudable ambition.
In brief, the measure provides that
persons selling the same goods in diff
ferent places may charge prices differ

source of general supply to the selling
points differ. Infractions of the pro-
visions of the bill are defined as feloni-
Gus, punishable by Imprisonment for
one year or fine of $500, or both.
