themselves competent to beat the professional

desnse him. his tricks will make him a con-
snicuous and an admired figure in the gambling
world
In contemplating the picture we should not
forget the victim who is far from blameless
and deserves more censure than sympathy. His
love for play makes the card sharp possible.
In the face of warnings he plays with men
who are card players by trade, he falls into
deftlv set traps, fatters himself that he is
really a good poker player and that luck has
turned his way. He chuekles as he sees his
pile of chips grow. and squeezing his cards,
frames the story with which be will edify his
friends. his story entitled How Beat Them
Rut his ioy is only short lived Sometimes by
slow stages and again at one grand leap his
ivory fortune is swept away, and the gentle
man gambler realizes that he has been feeced
and he cries out against the swindling card
sharps while his neighbor, who had no am
bition in the direction of making expenses,
says Serves him right"
If passengers on Atlantic liners will play
cards with their friends only or, having none
on board will resist the temptation which comes
10 so many visitors to the smoking room, the
card sharp will have only his own kind to prey
upon, and the demand for sympathy for heeced
passengers will be reduced. The way to drive
the professional gambler off the ocean liners Is
simple: Don't patronize him.

TOO MUCH SYMPATHY.
nation.

The experience of an italian passenger on
board the Deutschland on her last trip, who lost
5000 francs to a card sharp, has caused much
comment, has raised storm of indignation
against the professional gambler and excited
much sympathy for the unsuspecting traveller
whose confidence in the honesty of his card
playing friend led him 10 the verge of financial
ruin The professional gambler has been pun
ished. he has been compelled to make restitu-
ton. his picture has been published as a warn
ing to passengers on ocean steamers and the
officers of the various steamship lines have
done their share toward breaking up his nefari

TO keep him ashore. and, being af1oat. he has

ened people white and black. North ana South'
to advance civilization and do justice to all men.
The vote at the Union League Club did not
moan that its members have abandoned their
historic friendship for the negro or look with
Indifference on the situation in the South. That
is far from the spirit displayed at the meeting.
It meant a belief that the best interests of the
negro were to be served by Fastening slowly
The members preferred to trust men like ROBERT
c. Ogden and Booker 7. Washington rather
than their own preconceptions. Though they
realized that the law might warrant or even
enioin reprisals, and that logical argument
could be made for plunging headong to re-
prisals they also realized that a tremendous
and awful social and political question was III
volved, and that no such question was ever
solved offhand by law or logic chopping 1t
must be faced with sympathy and in co-opera-
ton with the best elements in the South, both
white and black rash step here, new out
break of barbarian element there, may undo all
that thousands of men in both sections are do
ing TO elevate the negro, educate him, make
him prosperous, confirm him in the suffrage In
spite of educational and property qualincatons,
and solve the problem, slowly, indeed, and
with long suffering toleration Of wrong, but in
the end surely; for justice does win in the long
run when thoughtful and moderate men are al
lowed to make their influence felt
It is not to be denied that the North Is
wronged by Southern misrepresentation, ana
the incentive for Republicans to secure for
their voters the same power, man for man, held
by Southern Democrats is natural and strong
The fact that an influential body of them exer-
cses self-restraint and puts aside everything but
consideration of the ultimate good Of our COM
mon country is a hopeful sign. 1t must encour-
age the enlightened men of the South soften
prejudice, break the force Of the demagogues S
appeal to Southern passion. Patience may cease
TO be virtue. If negro rights are subjected to
progressive diminution, instead of being broad
ened. the negro emerges from the condition
which has palliated unjust discrimination
against him, it may be necessary to take drastic
action. But while the negro is advancing rapid
ly. and the best people of both races are getting
together, and the South is making more and
more liberal provision for negro education, and
the men of Hampton and Tuskegee are asking
above all for opportunity to work unhampered
by agitation, surely it is virtue to be patient.
New-York tribune., 1903-04-11

The Tribune, having entered yesterday on a
new year, its sixty-third, improves the oppor-
tunity to assure its readers that. while ventur-
ing to think it has deserved pretty well OF the
public from the start, 1t has not wholly sue
ceeded in fulfilling its obligations to the meas
ure of its ideals-obligations which 1t clearly
recognizes and to which 1t has always meant to
be perfectly faithful. However. the adage that
"the who doesn't make mistakes doesnt
make anything" may fairly be held to apply to
a newspaper also That is reasonable con-
ISOLATION but it shall not lead to be too enient
with ourselves. On the contrary, as we leave
another anniversary behind we feel a stronger
sense of what this journal owes to a loyal out
free minded constituency. which it is an honor
and privilege to serve.
