GAMBLING AND RELIGION.
Hwo Blind Belief in Favoring Provi-
dence Arises,


! You may think it queer to couple re-
I ligion and gambling. but do you know
/ there would be little gambling if it were
not for the religious side of our natures,
that comes to us from the very begin
aing OF human thought"
This was a new idea to me, and L learn
ed forward to better hear what a poker
player on an outgoing suburban train, on
the West Shore road had to say about it.
| last Friday afternoon.
Every gambler" he continued. al
ways has a more or less well defined
notion that some power or influence or
control beyond his clear comprehension
is going to help him in his gaming.
! Though he knows that the cold. clear
chances of the game are against him.
there is notion in his mind that in
some way he will be favored and will
win in spite of immutable mathematics
His belief is not shaken by repeated
failure to win. He feels that there was
something wrong or he would have won.
and believes that the next time things
will be right. He keeps at it. That is
faith and his faith will reach beyond his
capital.
The nearer the game is to the matter
of pure chance, like throwing honest dice
or tossing for heads or tails. the more
sou notice the working or a blind faith
that relies on something to bring the
result that he desires. This something
is conjured up in his imagination from
religious suggestion that is part of his
inheritance
THE nearer We get TO barbarism the
more noticeable is this thing. 1 have
seen savages gambling at odd-and-even
with shells when they actually prayed
10 the spirits to help them and each one
insisted that his chosen spirits were the
most potent TO help him. 1 have seen
them strike themselves. dance, change
their positions, and make all sorts of
queer noises for the purpose of exerting
the necessary influence on the controlling
spirits.
Then l have seen my highly civilized
friends blow on their cards. walk around
their chairs, demand a change in the
gaming implements and do other odd
things that deserve place in ceremonies
of incarnation, and all for the purpose of
appealing 70 some influence that is relied
on TO help them. What do you call
that?
Il tell you. II we felt that We had to
rely on ourselves alone. and had to face
the cold. unfeeling law Of chance unaided.
we wouldn't bamble as much as ne do.
We may deny that the mysterious IN
known influences us. but If we will ex-
anime our thoughts and acts carefully
we will find that it does"

FROM THE NATIONAL
HALLS OF LEGISLATION
Pertinent Topics Entertainingly Discussed
by tie Silver States Wash
ingtOn Coz respOndent

ers but a bomb was exploded In the
Republican camp by Senator Dolliver
who declared the assertion to be cor
rect and stated hat he saw no dis
credit to Mr.. Dingley in the action, as
high tariff rates modified by reciproc-
ity arrangements with other countries
were the cardinal principles OF the
Republicans and was DESCRIBED as "the
Iowa idea run mad" "Cumminsism, .
etc.
With remarkable expedition Con-
gress rushed through a bill yesterday
for the relief of the coal situation. The
Measure providing that all duties on
coal should be related for a period of
one year was reported by the Ways
and Means committee and passed the
House. Within half an hour it had
been passed by the Senate, after hav-
ing peer so amended as to place n
thracite coal permanently on the free
list in accordance with the recon-
m~endation contained in the Presi-
dents message.
To further relieve the coal situation
the Senate committe on the District
Of Columbia is making an investiga-
ton of the charges hat there is a
conspiracy among the operators and
dealers to advance the price of coal
and the House committee on Inter
state and Foreign commerce is con-
Quoting an investigation into the ques-
ton of rebates on transportation
charges, etc.
After passing the coal bill, the Sen
ate deferred the Statehood debate and
took up the militia bill which was
passed last session by the House. Be
cause of the Democratic opposition it
was necessary to strike out the sec
ton which provided for the National
Volunteer Reserve, a force of not ex-
ceeding 100, 900 men, who had at some
time served in the volunteer or regu-
lar army and who were to be enrolled,
subject to the call of the President in
time of emergency. With this section
eliminated the bill passed.
The Secretary of the Treasury, with
the hope of correcting the evils in the
way of the importation of young wom-
en- to this country for immoral pur-
poses, a traffic which recent investiga-
tons in New York and Philadelphia
have discovered to exist to a deplor-
able extent, has determined to appoint
five women inspectors whose duty it
shall be to board incoming vessels and
conduct examination of all unattend-
ed young women travelling in the first
and second cabins. The close inspec-
ton of steerage passengers has proved
effectual in stopping the importation
among that class Of immigrants but
of remedying the evil when the young
women were provided with cabin pass
age. The Secretary has called upon

The President followed up his ac-
ton in furnishing to the press a digest
of the Attorney-General's recommen-
cations as to necessary antitrust leg
isfation by sending for the leaders OF
the Senate and the House and inform
ing them that he regarded the enact
ment of adequate antitrust legisla-
ton so essential to the welfare of the
country that, unless Congress found
time to deal with the problem before
the 4th OF March, he would deem it
his duty to call the Fifty-eighth Con-
sress in extra session Immediately
thereafter. The result has been a re-
markable change in the opinions of
the more prominent senators, several
of whom we're until then absolutely
opposed to what they termed statute
tinkering'' and the prospects Of a sat
isfactory bill have improved wonder
fully.
The House, which is usually quick
to hear the rumbling of popular senti-
ment, has gone to work in earnest,
has framed a bill along the lines pro-
posed by the Attorney-General and
will favorably report it to the House
tomorrow. The committee on Rules
has drafted a special rule which will
curtail debate and prevent amendment
and thus the prompt passage of legis-
Iation in accordance with the wishes
bf the administration is assured in
the lower chamber.
In the Senate matters will necessar-
lily move more slowly, but a sub-com-
mite OF the committee ON Judiciary,
with Senator Hoar as it's chairman,
has beer appointed to bring in a bill
and Senator Hoar assures your cor
respondent that as soon as the House
measure is sent up it will be taken up
by his committee and either be re-
vised or taken as the basis for a meas
ure which the Senator believes will
command the respect Of the Senate
and will be passed without extended
debate or amendment. rive of the
most influential senators lie hereto
fore opposed all antitrust legislation.
Yesterday they informed your CORE
spondent that they regarded the pass
age of a conservative antitrust bill
most probable.
The Statehood bill still continues to
occupy the major portion of the time
Of the Senate and Senator Nelson has
only just completed the speech which
has occupied five days. Senator Bev-
eridge says that several other Senat-
ors have Indicated their intention to
speak on the subject and yet it is
known that the opposition to the ad-
,1;.aso. " tAa thraa alotp,onfc for
statehood has no intention Of passing
their measure which provides for the
admission Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory IS one State. Senator Quay
still claims that he has sufficient
strength to pass the Omnibus measure
out the leaders Of the Republican
party declare that they can set it aside
at their pleasure and that they will
do so at an early date. r. a
A debate which has been frequently
characterized by sharp passages has
occupied the morning hours of the
Senate. Senator Vest had read from
the desk an alleged interview with the
late Gov. Dingley In which he is quot
ed ID saying hat the Dingley tariff
rates were placed too high with a view
to leaving a margin for the purpose Of

CITIZEN TRAIN TO SUE.

DNeSnt Think He Was Properly Treated

II became known yesterday that Citizen
George Francis Train will probably bring
s,lit for CSC, ,0oO against the city OF Stamford.
Conn. for the way in which he vas treated
by the city's Board Of Health when he had
smallpox. Exactly on what allegations
the suit will be based is not known yet. 80
Mr. Train has not consulted with his law
yer. Clark Ball, who has looked after the
Ciixens legal needs for many years, said
Yesterday that he had heard indirectly that
such a suit was to be brought
People are 80 used to accepting the
orders of health officers, said Mr.. Bell,
that they don't often stop to think whether
they are proper or not. 1t seems to me
that the Stamford health officer acted in
a very high-handed and questionable
manner when he refused Mr. Trains
daughters offer to take care OF her father
and instead, put the city to all that expense
TO quarantine him. 1t also seems to me
that the Stamford officer has had 40 much
pressure and criticism brought to bear on
him that he has been Obliged to give in and
send Mr.. Train to his daughters home,
Just 40 Mr.. Train wished In the first place
Citizen Train has sent no word OF his
homecoming to Mr.. Bell.
