SENDING STEEL TO ENGLAND.

The United States Steel Corporation
has just furnished evidence that there
is no longer need for a tariff on
steel products. According to the state
ments made in the public prints it
has sold 10000 tons of steel products
to England within the last week. If
it can sell steel products in Europe
and pay the cost of transporting them
to that market. there is certainly no
need for a tariff on such products.
1t is said that the products were sold
below the prices demanded for like
products in this country. But it isn't
probable that they were sold at prices
that yielded no profit.
1t is because the profit that the UDit-
ed States Corporation gets for it's man
ufactures in this country is so large
that it is able to pay dividends upon
its enormous capital stock, besides pay
ing its fixed charges.
The selling of its products in Eng
land is due probably to- the fact that
there has been q falling off in the
home orders. 1t is better to take a
little smaller profit than to shut down
mills

vindicate ones judgment. 1t is found
in the desire to get something for moth
ing; to accumulate money rapidly and
without work; to get rich quickly"
Gambling is the most fascinating of
vices, and it is world wide. Indeed, it
may be called a universal vice. Naked
savages, as innocent of clothes and re-
ligion as they are of literature, are
gamblers, as are also some of those
whom we are expected to re-
gard as among the highest types
of our civilization-our corpora
tion magnates, inanciers and cap
tains of industry. The most sensa-
tional gambler who has visited Monte
Carlo in five years was at the head of
one Of the greatest corporations in the
world at the time.
An investigator in Chicago has been
looking into the records to ascertain,
If possible, the relation of gambling to
embezzlement. He has found that
since January first, of the present year,
4,152 cases of embezzlement have been
reported to the police and detective
agencies in the United States. OF this
number 1912 cases have been traced to
gambling, either on races, on stocks or
on cards and dice. Thus it appears
that the gambling mania is at the bot
tom of more than three out of four
cases of dishonesty after trust that are
reported to the authorities for action.
1t is further estimated that about one
case in ten of embezzlement is report
ed, but that the cases that are sup
pressed, as well as those that are re-
ported ARE largely due to the gambling
vice. The normal man is disposed to
be honest. He doesn't take that which
does not belong to him for the pleasure
of stealing; he would rather not steal.
But when the gambling mania fixes
upon him, he sacrifices honor and all
else to indulge it,

NOT YET SETTLED.

1t turns out that part of the Alas
kan boundary is not yet settled. 1t
is a stretch of 140 miles with country
of unknown width on either side. This
constitutes nearly one-fourth of the
entire boundary between Alaska and
Canada's possession. The commission
did not settle it because it lacked suf-
ficient data. And it seems that this
unsettled part cannot be adjusted with
out another treaty. So the whole bust
ness will have to be gone over again.
Another commission will have to be
appointed and still further expense will
have to be incurred.
1t is said that the country to be
disposed of by the part of the boundary
that remains unsettled is of the most
worthless sort, and is perpetually COW.
cred with ice and snow. But that is
about what was said of the whole of
Alaska when the United States pur-
chased it.
1t is reported that at least one of
the British commissioners would have
been willing to settle the 140 mile strip
by drawing a straight line from Hates
Needle to Devils Paw, two mountain
peaks supposed to be on the boundary
line, but the American commissioners
declined to adjust the matter in that
off-hand way. They probably thought
the country might be another Klon-
dixie. AS long, however. as the inn
preston lasts that the country is
worthless there will be no trouble re-
specting its boundary, but IL valuable
ores should be found upon it there
would at once be a boundary dispute
that would disturb two great nations
and Canada,

There is a good deal more fright
about the bite of rattlesnake than
there is actual danger" said we'll
known physician, according to the
Philadelphia Record. IT do not mean
a very serious thing, but l mean to
say that this particular sort of snake
is really not so ready or apt to get
in his bite as some others.
"In the first place there is the now
generally credited fact that the rat
tier is the most honest of snakes. He
doesn't pick a fight; he doesn't lay
in wait for any one. He won't run
away, of course, for he's. a plucky
reptile, but he will curl up and give
you a fair warning from those rat
ties of his before he attempts to strike.
l remember once in the West finding
a RATHER just ahead of my horses off
fore feet. / had no weapon of any
sort, so 1 rode on, passing within a
few inches of the reptile The snake
was curled and ready for my horse
in case the animal side-stepped, but
as we did nothing of that sort We
were allowed to pass in peace.
Again, the truth is that the poison
of the RATHER does not easily get in
to the wound inflicted by the fangs in
the average human being. For the
average human being, nowadays, is
clothed, and the holes in the fangs
where through the poison comes are
rather far up toward the roof of the
mouth. Consequently, very often the
point of the fangs may enter the skin,
while the poison dribbles out harm
lessly enough upon the trousers or
the boot. 1t is then that the victim
gets scared, fills up on whisky-a bad
thing in bona f1da cases of rattle
snake bite-and believes himself mar
velously cured when he wakes up next

THE FAIR.

The Savannah Agricultural and In
dustrial Fair. now being held at the
fair grounds under the management Of
the Savannah Racing Association, has
in every detail more than met the ex-
pectations of its projectors. 1t is. fur
thermore, worthy of the patronage and
encourag cement of the people of this
city and those of the neighboring
counties. In the past 1t has been about
the universal opinion that no exhibit
ton of its kind could expect even
reasonable amount of attendance and
financial success unless 1t were run
wide OPEN" to use the vernacular, and
gamblers, fakirs and those who are
worse, were permitted to do as they
pleased. In the case of the present
fair, however, that Objectionable ele-
ment has been not only relegated to
the rear, but put out of the gates, and
II has been demonstrated beyond cavil
that a good, clean fair with attractions
that will give pleasure to visitors, af-
fordng them hours Of rational enjoy
ment, can be held here.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether a fair conducted on so high
a plane can be made a financial sue
cess. The attendance so far has been
quite good, but it should be better
during the remaining days. Those who
have voluntarily undertaken the man
agement Of the fair are engaged in
the public-splrited work of furthering
the development of the agricultural
and Industrial resources Of the nearby
counties, and at the same time en-
couraging the people to visit our city
and thereby increase it business. 1t
is. therefore, the duty of their fellow
citizens to give the fair helping
hand by doing all they can directly
and indirectly to make it a success.
The fair enters to-day upon it's Sec
ond week and will close next Satur-
day. Every day there will be good
racing. The Midway attractions are
clean and entertaining. The exhibits
of farm products, poultry, ETC., and
the displays of art and manufactures,
are well worth anybody's time and
attention. Taken as a whole, the fair
is a very attractive one. The people
of the city should be proud of it, and
they should give evidence of that pride
and their appreciation of the efforts of
the management by giving the fair ac-
tive and visible support
