Purged Of Gambling.

Ashland Daily Press: The oper-
alton of gambling rooms in the cities
Of northern Wisconsin is about to
become thing of the past. In near
ly every city of the north, the people
and the authorities have come to the
conclusion that it is for the better
ment and advancement of municipal
tiles to do away with the green
covered tables and to suppress all
and every kind of gambling. 1t has
long been known that the outcome OF
the gaming that has long prevailed
in this region, afforded q short cut
to wealth for the proprietor of the
gaming house and that it was al
most impossible for the layman to
draw his breath. Occasionally we
read Of someone making great haul;
but that is grand exception to the
rule that is usually cited in games
of chance.
The order of the West Superior
council commanding the chief of
police to close every gaming house
in the city, and to suppress gambling
i. every one one of it's varied forms,
N lrks an epoch in this region,
which heretofore was not considered.
1t is fact that the gaming houses
of Ashland have been closed for a
long time and tina It there is not the
slightest hope of them ever being
able to reopen. Gambling in Ashland
is a form Of social amusement and
speculation that has died, without
hope of resurrection, and the city has
profted by the result.
Washburn will soon have done
away with gambling in that city and
as Bayfield, is free from it, all of the
cities in the Chequamegon bay
region are presenting a better moral
appearance. This condition was
bound to come, everything required
there being only alittle public senti-
ment directed in the proper channels.
Up until a year or so ago, there
was great number of people who
believed that gambling was absolute
ly essential to the prosperous life OF a
community. It has since been
learned, and is now generally be-
lieved, that q city can actually live
without games of chance and in fact
can prosper gloriously. It has
further been found that the removal
of all temptation to gamble causes
the erection of cottages, which are
owned by their occupants and that
the children OF the city wear better
clothes and that mothers and wives
lay their heads each night on peace
full pillow.
The gamblers of Wisconsin are
not bad men, and in fact it would
be an exception if anyone of them
that has operated here was arranged
in court on charge other than
gambling.
The gambler is not to blame, but
the head OF the community in which
he operates is, and should be held
responsible.

Says Washburn Will Lose Respet

THE WAsHBURN TIMES of last
week gave the gambling joints of
that town an unmerciful trimming
up. Brother Jones also jumped on
to the authorities with both feet and
it looks as though there would be
something doing. Well, guess it's
high time. Tie town will soon lose
the respect of it's neighbors unless a
change is made on this score. = Bay

An Endorsement.

Centuria Outlook: THE WASH
BURN TIMES is going after the NUM-
cipal fathers of that town for their
permission to let the gambling hell
holes" run wide open. 1t is certain
ly refreshing to read a newspaper
that has enough of moral fiber in the
editorial chair and starch in it's back
bone to speak out against the brazen
morality of the town in which it
lives, lest it will offend some of it's
patrons and so lose business.

CANADA AND THE SOUTH.

For the first time in the history Of
the country more Americans are
seeking new homes in a given coun-
try than come from that country 70
America for a like The
case is that of Canada. Five wears
ago 1T looked as if Canada would lose
a good share of its population, but
The tide has turned, and more Amer
lean farmers are settling in the
Wheat-growlng territory west of
Winnipeg than French Canadians
are arriving in factory towns of this
country. The movement towards
Canada is steadily increasing year
by year, the number of emigrants
from this country in the year ended
June 30, having been 1879. One
year before it was 40, 149, and two
years before it stood at 1886. The
movement has been trebled in three
years.

open, pleasant climate and produc-
tive soil Of the South to the inhospit-
able latitude of Winnipeg it is diff
cult to understand, but the chances
are that the railroads leading to
Winnipeg understand the immigra-
ton business better than Southern
railroads do. Railroads and steam
ships have long been the chief imi-
grafton agents, and those of Winni-
peg seem to be very enterprising.
The emigration of American farm
ers to Canada may 500 become a
matter of national concern, for if it
goes on unchecked the center of the
wheat industry will lose it's pre-emi-
nence in n of the three great crops.
We will continue to grow corn and
cotton, while Canada will grow the
worlds bread to a considerable x
tent.

of the country would aid in filling up
the vacant lands in the South. in

THE DEADLY WEED.

Let us all pause in our mad rush
through life and consider the moral
set out in the death of William G..
Patterson, the Kalamazoo citizen
who was last week brought to an un-
timely end by the excessive use OF
tobacco.
| The press dispatches tell us that
MIR. Patterson had lived only SO
years when his vicious habit of
smoking constantly cut short his ca
reer. He had smoked 100, 900 cigars
III his life time, it is related. The to-
baconist from whom he purchased
his supply says the deceased spent
$4,000 with him, hence we are to
infer that the Kalamazoo citizen
smoked only 10 cent cigars, and here
we may find the cause of the sudden
end. Ten-cent cigars are a Injury,
and we are told that excessive indul-
gence of luxuries will sooner or later
affect the health. Had MI. Pattison
smoked stogies OF even the brand of
cigar that comes three in a bunch he
might have lived to a ripe old age.
We happen to know of more than
one man in this vicinity who has
reached the age called old, even
though he does smoke stogies.
How long the unfortunate citizen
Of x oJonouO0 would loxr0 oo1-~l
on earth had he smoked nothing at
all is beyond the realm of conjecture.
There r those who will be quick
to say he would have lived on into
the next century-and on the other
hand, some of us will firmly believe
that he would have been dead all
these years but for the soothing and
strengthening effects of the fragrant
Havanas he consumed. The latter
guess, however, will be rated by the
majority as unfounded entirely, and
SO we must give the former the
greater consideration, it seems.
Well, let it go at that. Mr.. Patti
son lived to SO by smoking only 1OO,-
900 cigars. On the principle that to-
bacco cut short his life, then, we are
to understand that had he smoked
but $4,000 cigarsh he would have lived
twice as long, OF 178 years. Foolish
man, to let the best years of exist
ence go up in smoke! He might have
cut his daily consumption down to
two-thirds, at least, and so have
reached the prime of life anyhow.

After all that has been said about

After all that has been said about
newspaper grafters, the better
class Of newspaper men of North
Dakota will admit that there are
g~rafters in the business, and that
the frate rnity suffers by reason
thereof. There are newspapers in
this state that are a disgrace to the
profession. There are men running
newspapers, II attempting to run
them, that are better fitted for
turning 9rind-stOnes. They have no
conception or idea Of newspaper
WORK, and there is a suspicion that
having made a failure Of everything
else they have as a last resort turn
ed to journalism, and strange as it
may seem, without previous training
OF experience, they know it all-or
think they do. Their standing
among journalists is the same as the
cheap pettifogger in the legal pro
t%ession, as the INSCRIPTIONS and
blatant quack in the medical frater-
nifty, as the wood butcher among
skilled mechanics, as the coarse, SEN
sational blather, skite among the
clergy. It is this class Of news
paper men, who cry loudest "pay
me, whenever there is a campaign
on, who have much to say about the
rights Of newspapers, and who stand
ready at all times to ''graft' right
and left. Often their methods, in
order to force men to buy their silence
or support borders closely upon black
mail. 1t is this class Of bushwhack-
ers that bring discredit upon country
journalism. The entire fraternity
suffers in consequence. And there
you are.

THE STORY OF THE PRAIRIEs.

Every citizen of North Dakota
ought to read this valuable book.
Few states have been so adequate in
and clearly described in book form l.
so readable and interesting manner.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press in Its
editorial columns says:
The sort Of thing that is needed in
Minnesota is we'll illustrated by a
handbook lately issued by Prof.
Daniel p. Willard Of the North Da
kota Normal School at Mayville, II
der the title Of The Story of the
Prairies,' in which is told what
every citizen of North Dakota would
like to know of the physical features
OF the country he sees every day, Of
the origin thereof, Of their effect on
the availability Of different sections
for agriculture, stock raising, etc.
And it tells the story in a way that
makes the subject not only easy of
comprehension but attractive, sup
pressing 50 far as possible all I'M
Familiar technical phrases.
The Boston Transcript say in
reviewing the book
The book is one of those rare and
important contributions to science and
knowledge which are produced by
earnest and painstaking men for the
benefit OF the country. 1t will prob
ably be used and read more in North
Dakota than elsewhere, as a text
book, but it will supply the seeker for
information in regard to some of the
peculiar formations of that section
which he would have great difficulty
in finding 50 clearly and concisely
stated in any other place. This is
especially true in regard to the Bad
lands those wonderful mounds of the
Little Missouri region, sometimes
called ''The Eighth Wonder of the
World and Hell With the Fire
Out The student who seeks for
facts as to these mounds and scientific
explanation for their appearance finds
very little aftera long search in many
books. Here the facts and theories
are eiveN IN excellent form and Will
. uice discrimination. Another inter
esting and important chapter has tt

This was the appeal that touched
the hearts of the curious crowd
which stood watching the authorities
tenderly carrying the mangled form
of little 12-year-old Blanche Hourihan
to the ambulance last evening just
after she had had both legs amputat-
ed by the cars. The little girls first
thought, even in her pitiful condition,
was for her mother.
Mayor Picker, who was at the
scene of the accident shortly after it
occurred and who helped carry the lit
tie sufferer to the ambulance, took
the case in his own hands and gently
oVerruling the little girls mandate,
had her taken to the hospital in the
city ambulance. This afternoon one
leg was amputated near the thigh
and the other just below the knee.
